Have you seen the bored/fed up look on the men's faces. I do when I go food shopping on my own on a Sunday. I stroll around on my own and the closest I get to stress is witnessing others shoppers getting stressed.

Surely dad could look after the kids. Doesn't mum trust him to?

Incidentally the reason I enjoy shopping on my own is cause my husband watches the kids and gives me a hand getting the shopping in the house when I get home. It's great!!

Probably because it is an annoying task (if one is shopping for a whole family) and it's not really fair for it to be the woman's job alone. Most likely needs a few hands to carry all the goods.
Personally, I go to the market when the families are least likely to be there. Much less stressful. Although a crowded store full of grumpy families is a wonderful form of birth control :)

Hi Sue, What a horrible thought no I would never do that!!! I have four kids,my husband works hard all week not saying that I don't.I can shop in peace when on my own apart from all the moans and fighting (the kids)they also add an extra ten to twenty euros to a shopping trip by adding all their bits. Maybe I sound a bit outdated but it works for me also my husband is in charge of the bins and the recycle stuff and that's just fine by me too. But I know what you mean about all the miserable looking couples out doing the weekly shop isent life too short !!!

Hello, Been there done that ! Calm down though think of it as quality time. The family all needs to know how expensive and grueling shopping can be. Speaking for all gentlemen I would rather be the one lugging those heavy bags to the car and into the house ! Lonewolf

I think your question should read,some women. I for one,always grocery shop alone. That way no kids are pestering me to buy junk and I can take my time to compare prices and read labels for nutritional info. The few times my husband did come shopping he rushed me so badly that I ended up not getting things. Trust me,it's better to go alone. When I see whole families shopping, I think "Thank God for this little time by myself". I treasure the alone time, even if its only at the grocery store.

Well did it occur to you that it might be a big family and she might need some help ? What`s with the - why do WOMEN thing ....? Like men have no place in supermarkets ! They might look bored while they`re helping shop for irt - but that soon changes when they got some fool in the kitchen cooking it for them and serving it up ! You need to think before you speak ! And that must be some exciting life you lead - strolling round the supermarket on your own................................................................
SO YOUR HUSBAND LOOKS AFTER THE KIDS WHILE YOU SHOP DOES HE ?
WELL LUCKY YOU - SOME WOMEN ARE SINGLE PARENTS - WHAT PLANET YOU FROM THEN, MRS. "I`VE GOT EVERYTHING UNDER
CONTROL "- ?

ive never noticed that. im usually shopping, not looking at faces of the people who are shopping. I bring my kids so they can help get items and they are the ones helping me eat the food we buy so its a good idea that theyre there for input.
I only stress if they look to be misbehaving.

I totally agree i have 5 kids and would never dream of boring them to death like this, i need a big shop it takes awhile .you need to concentrate on what your buying. and whats the point in hubby coming along to shop he doest cook so cant help in choosing products, ive seen this to and i wonder WHY do they put them through it they probably buy things the kids want and it costs them more money/ xxxx

Hey she just wants to spend some out time with her family. Espesially their men. Just advise them toact kindly around her when they do go shopping together even though it is kinda boring man. Good luck bud!

My husband does most of the shopping because he has more time and I have a bad knee. Maybe the ones you see on Sun. just got out of church!

because they should suffer the sheer boredom and grief that we as mums and females (tho thats not a definate) suffer doing the grindingly tedious shopping for food chore! Now if it were shoes?
