If you think Lakeland shopping with kids is quite a chore, then maybe you haven’t shopped with your husband yet. Although your husband won’t whine (or maybe he will?) and play hide-and-seek with you, he’ll easily get bored with all the “do you have this on size 6?” and “do you have this on this color?” You have a very short window of opportunity before he starts pacing back and forth to let you know he’s no longer having fun.
Of course, another problem is he’s right there next to you while you’re doing all the shopping you want. He may be adding up the amount you’re spending and confronting you about it when you go home. That’s not a pretty picture, right? So, of course, you need to make sure that he’s happy, contented, and willing to let you shop to your heart’s content.
Have a lunch date first
A well-fed man is a happy man or the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach… haven’t we always heard these adages? Your husband will be a lot less cranky being left alone while you fit on every dress in the store if he’s well-fed and relaxed. Nobody wants to walk around the stores holding all the bags when he is hungry. He’ll understandably be a little annoyed if you shrug off lunch to buy 5 pairs of shoes.
Let him roam on his own
Don’t just ask him to follow you around the mall. We’re sure he has other things in mind he needs to buy, too. Bonus points if there’s a gadget or a toy store in the mall. Every man’s dream is to look at comic books and consider buying all the Playstation games his eyes land on. There’s no use letting him watch you play Barbie when he can very well enjoy himself, too.
Charge his smartphone
Usually, men can be patient when he can check football or basketball scores on the internet. That’s why it’s important to make sure his smartphone is well-charged or you have a portable charger with you. If he’s busy checking what’s up on NBA, he’ll be more putty when it comes to your shopping.
Spread out your spending
If you buy that $400 purse you have your eyes on once you enter the shop, he’ll put a cut to your shopping and simply ask you to leave the store immediately. Do this when you’re along Lakeland shopping. When you’re with your husband, buy stuff that are not too expensive but are equally important to you.
