WARN: PG MENTIONED
VOTE FOR WHAT YOU USUALLY DO.
Okay, I spent TWO hours grocery/household shopping today... did the whole Wal-Mart with my price-match ads thing, got pretty much everything I needed (they were out of a few things on my list, ugh) and got home just in time for DS to get off the school bus.
As I was unloading round after round of groceries, I started to wonder. Am I the only one who grocery shops alone? A lot of my friends IRL have their DH's go with them to the grocery store. My DH would rather have a root canal. Granted, he will watch the kids so I can go alone if I want (what fun, right?) and he will help unload if he's here, but he complains endlessly if I ask him to accompany me. It's almost worse than having a kid with me.
What bothers me is this... I am 25w pregnant with DC#3, and I have chronic back pain issues. So pushing a heavy basket (especially one with a 23lb kid, 35lb cat litter, 8lb cat food, 10lb bg of sugar/flour, etc. 5 gallons of juice) wears on my back. Especially after 2 hours. Then I get home and get to unload.
Why is it such a big deal for him to go with me and push the basket so I don't have to? I understand it's not what he wants to do, but I do lots of stuff I don't want to do for him, too.
So I thought I'd post a poll here and see what the general consensus is.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Take Care~
