Over the years, ***** & I have developed a system where I make a meal plan & then a grocery list for the week ... I email him that list & he typically goes grocery shopping some evening on his way home from work. In this season of life, it’s just what works best for us. I’ve noticed something though...whenever I mention this to other married women, most of them look at me with wide eyes of disbelief. So often, I hear things like “I would never trust my husband alone in a grocery store.” Or, “I would never allow that. He would come home with all the wrong stuff!”
This makes me so sad! Especially, when most of these men are actually successful business owners or are in charge of/responsible for many important tasks in their work places. They are obviously capable of much & yet their own wives don’t “trust” them in a grocery store.
We have so much belittling/shaming/disrespectful treatment of men in our society (watch most sitcoms & commercials these days if you don’t believe me.)
We, as wives, need to believe in our men & stop treating them like an incapable child that should go back into his “man cave” where he’ll be out of the way & not mess anything up while we just take charge of it all.
Our husbands deserve so much more respect than this.
There are little eyes watching & taking their cues from us...& I firmly believe the health of our next generation depends so greatly on this subject.
(And to be clear...this post really has nothing to do with grocery shopping. Or who does what chore or task in a household. That’s obviously going to look different for everyone for a variety of reasons.
My whole point is that we need to be careful & recognize how we view & speak of & treat our husbands. They are the head of our homes & leaders of our families!)

I want to tell her that she needs new friends who don't live in the fucking 1950's
I have to be there to pick out my steak and wine. Nothing else matters

Who gives a fuck how you shop? Do people really discuss this shit with each other? What's it matter to you what other women think of their husbands? With six fucking kids at home, don't you have more important things to worry about?
Besides, you know the majority of those other husbands only fuck up the shopping so they don't get bugged about doing it again.
I used to go to the grocery store more often than I do now. I try to avoid going now because there's always a couple retarded motherfuckers I want to smash in the face with the big can of whole tomatoes for leaving their cart on one side of the aisle while they stand on the other side of it fucking off. In the past that was something I'd make threats about doing, but would never actually do it. Now I'm not sure.
Also, don't get high before you go shopping if you have any kind of food budget.
Less now
