My daughter and grandkids visited Saturday as usual.
We all did some basic shopping early.
Like we hit Sams Club for the food items.
Then we went to Wally World for regular needs etc.
Then we headed home.
My wife and daughter wanted to shop at Kophls and JCennys.
I volunteered to stay home with the boys.
They left taking Savanna with them.
Of course I fell asleep as did my youngest grandson.
The older grandson took this shot.
Neither of them nor I care much for shopping at clothing stores with the women.
So are you the type that hates shopping for clothes?
If you're male, do you hate shoppping with your S.O. for clothes etc?

Take your dad with you. I know he can't do the walking, put his butt in a wheelchair. If you don't have one maybe you can get one from his insurance. I do know that you can buy some inexpensives ones too. My mom and I used to go to a big one outside every year. She can't do the walking out in the heat, she also has to sit down alot and rest. We found some down in Southern Ohio that are indoors, have AC and plenty of benches to sit and rest. Hot damm.

I know my husband doesn't like shopping for clothes, even if they're for him. He doesn't mind grocery shopping though.

I don't mind shopping really.
Just sometimes the wife annoys me with her lack of
being able to make a decision quickly enough.
Joking to a point there.

That's a sweet picture! I like to go shopping. We went shopping Saturday for some Christmas presents we are giving to people in our family. We went to several different stores looking for stuff for certain people. My husband doesn't mind going shopping with me.

Thanks bunches.
It actually was posed.
Neither of us were asleep.
I don't mind shopping as long as it is done efficiently and timely.
Not 3 hours to get just one small item please.

It's rare that I've had to go shopping for clothes just for the sake of shopping for clothes. I tend to buy most of my clothing at Walmart, and almost every time I'm in the store, I will wander over to the women's clothing and see if there's anything that catches my attention. I have to really love it or else I won't buy it. I won't buy it unless I need it either, but as far as I'm concerned, we could all do with some new clothes now and then. :)
The only time I don't like shopping for clothes is when I HAVE to find something THAT DAY to have for a specific event or situation. I don't like that kind of stress. Ugh!

My wife does the same.
Even if she bought something the day before.
She still has to look.

Well I know you posed the question to men but as a woman I have to say that my hubby hates to clothes shop and so does my dad. So over the holidays the men tend to end up with all the children while the girls go shopping and I have watched these little male bonding sessions result in some of the greatest time spent between my hubsand, father, brother, brother-in-law and all the boys- they learn together and play together and I have some of the best photos from those experiences. So keep hanging out with the children- Grandpa they will remember those days for the rest of their lives. Good for you!

I don't hate shopping for clothes.
I hate shopping with the women of my family.
My wife takes 6 hours to get one item is the main reason.
Well thats a bit exxagerated but she takes forever is all.
I love being with the boys a lot.
I take them a lot of places also.
Mostly the car races that the eldest grandson loves.

I am the same way usually.
But I have been known to window shop a lot.
Usually when I am by myself though.

Grandpa Bob I HATE shopping and I will not go shopping with anyone either. If I need something I go into the store get what I need and leave right away. I hate when people go and try on all these clothes and never buy anything, this makes me crazy. Don't ask me to go shopping.

I am probably going to get drummed out of the female ranks because i HATE to shop for clothes. I had almost rather be in the hospital ill than clothes shop. I am not really crazy about shopping for anything but i especially hate shopping for clothes and not just for myself but for anyone!

What a sweet picture you have there! I used to think, back when I was ten or so, that I hated shopping. Reason being, going with my mom is just a drag. I thought it was the shopping, but as I grow older and shop without her, I realize she just made it a chore. When I have control of where I go and what I try on and how long I stay there, I have a lot of fun. Plus, I am much more of a bargain hunter, my mom likes to spend money when we could get something for cheaper! Yes sir, I'm going to have one lucky husband. I'm very frugal.

My husband loves shopping for clothes and other various items if they are for him, but not if they are for me. I love shopping for clothing when i have the money. Kids get bored with shopping easy my little 7 year old sister is always wanting to herd us out the door when we aren't but half finished most times. She gets whiny if we take to long.

Hello Grandpa Bob, being male myself I hate shopping, and I have to go and do it on my own, but I don't have a significant other which is actually a bonus because I don't get nagged at for what I buy or wear, and when I am on my own I can take my time if I wish and go to the shops that I want to and I don't have anyone hanging around or taking me to shops I don't want to go too! I like the freedom of being able to choose what I want to wear, mind you I don't have anyone to say your behind looks too big in that LOL!

You just had a regular day of shopping huh? Shopped till you dropped...
. Well I'm a woman and I don't like clothes shopping, I hate it, I can't ever find anything I like, can't find the styles I like, and certainly can't find anything that fits right. I've lost some weight, and I still can't find anything that fits like its supposed to. I hate it...lol. I do have a closet full of clothes too, and I don't wear half of them because when I get them home, they don't ever look the same as they did in the store..
. Have a good day

I'm a woman, and I CAN'T STAND shopping for clothes! I love shopping for books, though - I could wander through bookshops until the cows came home. Clothes are only bought when the old ones have fallen apart - and then it's a quick grab from the shelf, no trying on or going into change rooms or anything complicated ... and out of there fast!

I Do NOT have the shopping gene like most woman do. I pretty much want to get in the store get what I need and get back out right after I got everything...
Very seldom do I want to just keep browsing. It just seems like a big waste of time.. I know I am not going to buy anything else.. So, I just want to go home and do something else.
