So when I want to go shopping my idea is taking my time to enjoy being out and looking around, ya know, shopping. I don't want to be rushed because then I just get irritated not having fun anymore for an outting we set up to do with him hating life because I dont take only 10 minutes for the whole ordeal to hurry up to go home as fast as possible. To me, thats what women do, when we want to shop its to enjoy being out and taking our time not to be rushed around to buy and run. My mom and I like to go out shopping for our fun to hang out together (when she comes to visit from her state and when I was growing up) my thought was most women do this that its not weird. My husband admits he despises shopping because after 10 minutes at a store he's miserable hating being out and just want to go home and he hates standing around with me while I shop.....but also agreed to take me out in the first place...đ today, we have some lady comimg at some point (after her nail appointment she says) to pick up some shirts my husband customized for her. She said she will text when on her way. We need to go to the grocery store and I wanted to stop at a thrift for a tiny bit of a "me" thing. He would rather we go to the thrift, drop off our donations and as soon as he lady says shes on our way drop what we're doing to rush home for that. To me, I find it kinda inconsiderate shes like "after my nail appointment ill say when im omw" instead of asking about a time to meet like we're supposed to wait around all day until shes ready just whenever. Husband is like "or ill just tell her when she texts we'll be back around x time because my pregnant wife wants to shop i guess" I said then id rather you just leave me and the kids at the store while you rush home to do that then come back for us rather than rushing me. We would be fine for an hour. đ idk if this is more of a vent or a question but im just irritated. I only get to do something for me on weekends for a short burst that's not grocery shopping. Not even every weekend just occasionally. I just don't want to be rushed especially because someone else is being inconsiderate about meeting time.

Ha. Iâve only ever dated ONE guy who liked shopping and he only liked it because his mother and him had a weird relationship and she trained him to love it đ€Ł
I have to remind my husband âhey, we donât have to rushâ I literally will slow him down in the store, and tell him to not rush me.
I personally couldnât do anything with my day if she said that, Iâd be asking an exact time âso we can plan our day accordinglyâ because I do find it inconvenient to the way my brain works to just leave me waiting on someone đ

I hate clothes shopping but could spend hours in a homeware, garden centre, or book store lol don't know what it is about clothes but I just want to get in and out as fast a possible and only usually go in if I'm looking for something specific

Yes just leave him at home. I an the type I don't like to look around I just like to make a must if what I need and buy what I need and get out. Just go by yourself or with your mom or someone that likes to shop the way you do. I can't stand when my mom takes 2-3 hours at Walmart and my kid doesn't like it either. We find it frustrating and boring. You have the right to shop the way you want. There is nothing wrong with doing that just don't drag your husband along. It is nice he will watch your kid at you can take your time and shop. Ofcourse that's what he should do but grub what I read on here a lot of men don't seen you want to watch their own kids. Su that advantage of him watching your kid and go shop!
