    My bf and I go thrifting almost every week and we always get milkshakes on the way home and then do a fashion show. He always goes “omg that’s so cute!” or “Your butt looks so good in that!”. Thrifting days are usually the highlight of my week.

      My wife shops by slowly going through each section and trying on up to 20 items to keep 1 or 2. Takes 2-3 hours per store.

      I know the what size and style my kids like to wear and skim through the store in under 10 minutes (they have very different preferences). Full school shopping would usually take 1-2 hours across 3-4 stores.

      By the time they were 5 years old both of them refused to go clothes shopping with my wife.

      Long story short, my wife always got the fashion show when we got home.

      Now that they have gotten older my kids should be able to go shopping by themselves and not bother me but no… They drag me with them. “Its faster” they say.

    My parents are lesbians…

    That aside most of the dads I knew growing up would’ve participated in the shopping excursion.

    Lol when you said ‘brought you shopping’ my head was thinking it was only the mom shopping. Not that my mother brought me shopping with her and only bought her clothes or groceries…

    Huh, I’ve never done that. The thought to do that never even occurred to me. Maybe I would’ve enjoyed shopping more if my family tried this.
