Men are THE WORS...Thanks for your comments ladies!<br /><br />Men are THE WORST to take shopping, they either charge ahead and make you hurry or they throw everything that looks nice into the trolley and it costs a bomb! <br /><br />I totally get where you are coming from Jemma, I too like to leave the kids when I can, if only for a little bit of sanity time, but I do think that in this day and age, people leave their kids for nearly everything, and whenever they can. <br />To me, thats not what having kids is about. Like getting someone to have the kids while you do school pickup? Or to help you in the shopping Centre. Are these people just not confident enough or is it laziness?<br /><br />I think its pretty sad if people have never taken their kids shopping because there is an option available. Like never?! <br />If you take your kids most places or at least try to, then yeah , of course leave them if it makes it easier. But I know too many people that leave their children to do EVERYTHING! <br />For a start, I don't have the liberty of having someone at my beck and call to have the kids whenever I feel like it, but even if I did, I am sure that I would still take them places, as in to town for a quick trip to Target, duck into Coles for milk , those sorts of things, and only leave them for the big stuff.<br />Each to their own, but the kids are only young once, I am out to TRY and enjoy it. <br />Try the operative word! haLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988163474193134460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118379573510087764.post-25965391126182526132012-02-29T13:26:42.823+08:002012-02-29T13:26:42.823+08:00We don't spend a lot of food, or try not to, w...We don't spend a lot of food, or try not to, we meal plan, everyone takes lunch and as a general rule we buy cheap cuts of meat, small amounts of processed food and the rest is fruit and veg. I also shop at 5th street where there is less choice (no impulse buying cause something looks pretty).<br /><br />I have to say tho I dont think taking the kids out at everything you need to do, makes them behave better. Mine come most places with me as I have no choice (personal drs appts can be interesting), but given half a chance I wouldn't take them food shopping, appts etc, not because they cannot behave, but because without children I can do stuff in half the time, with half the noise and half the hassle. I can food shop in 30 mins max, not forget anything and have to deal with the I need this muuuuuuum conversation every isle. It is just so much more easier without them, and in a busy world where we are all juggling 20 billion things I take the easy option everytime when I have the choice - if anything it is time saving.<br /><br /><br />DP is a whole nother story however, he is more annoying than the kids to take anywhere.Jemmahttp://www.midwestkids.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118379573510087764.post-35749412646255718552012-02-21T12:50:54.662+08:002012-02-21T12:50:54.662+08:00I always take the kids shopping with me,I actually...I always take the kids shopping with me,I actually find it harder if I take hubby + kids cos he often sneaks things into the trolly :/<br />Meal planning is definatly the way to go, Makes shopping & afternoon's that little bit less chaotic xSarahnoreply@blogger.com
