Super User Sam Posted January 29, 2012 Super User Posted January 29, 2012 My wife agreed to buy our 1 year old grandson some new shoes so we took the baby to Saxon Shoes Kids Shoe Store in the Short Pump Town Center mall today. After two hours of waiting to be serviced and then selecting a number of shoes to consider my son and daughter-in-law finally selected a pair of shoes for the kid. TWO HOURS! IT TOOK TWO HOURS TO GET A ONE YEAR OLD SOME SHOES. TOTAL TORTURE. IT WAS HORRIBLE. So any of you guys out there who are having some good times and sometimes forget to protect yourself and your girlfriend for an unwanted event, may I suggest going to a kids shoe store and spending TWO HOURS trying to select a pair of shoes for a one-year old. TOTAL TORTURE. Be safe and be smart and don't ever worry about getting a one year old new shoes. Go fishing instead and send your wife with the kid. 1 Quote
Super User tomustang Posted January 29, 2012 Super User Posted January 29, 2012 The smart thing would've been not being roped into going to the shoe store Quote
Super User grimlin Posted January 29, 2012 Super User Posted January 29, 2012 It takes us 15 minutes.....birth contorl would be how much more money you need to bring in once you have a kid....Kids are extremely expensive! Quote

I have always felt that the kids being expensive bit was overplayed. Then I started buying sports equipment for the older boys. BUT the biggest expense IS ALL THE STUFF THEY BREAK Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted January 29, 2012 Super User Posted January 29, 2012 You Sir, have a lot to learn! First off Bass Pro sells kids shoes= Winning! Second off my 2 & 5 yr old LOVE ot go to Pass Pro! My 5yr old would rather get a package of Flukes than a new toy! You just need to learn to work the angles then it'll all fall into place. 2 Quote
scrutch Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 oh yeah, it's all about the angles... Thats what Grandmas are for. I ALWAYS have a "project" that I need to get finished when those type of trips come up. It usually works, if not, then I volunteer to watch the other kids at home instead of "hearding cats" at the shoestore. Quote

BUT the biggest expense IS ALL THE STUFF THEY BREAK Yup every year i throw out 2-3 garbage bags full of broken toys. $5 here,$10 there,$20-$40 for a toy he hates and never plays with anymore and half the parts are missing.Every year we have to buy him ALL new clothes,he keeps growing out of them.

Some things new are ok but most were hand me downs Noah only wore half the stuff once or twice anyways d**n kids grow like weeds Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted January 29, 2012 Super User Posted January 29, 2012 Geez, Sam. I thought this thread was going to be about you discovering the little blue pill and wanting advice on raincoats, Quote

Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted January 29, 2012 Super User Posted January 29, 2012 Baby boy wants to be just like daddy. So he has three pairs of boots, 1 pair of trainers, and a pair of tevas. Shoes are easy to get for him. Bass pro and academy all the way. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 29, 2012 Super User Posted January 29, 2012 Spending two hours with your grandkid/ family shoe shopping labled as "total torture"........what????? Some people don't have a clue. Yeah.....this forum almost burst into flames while you were away, too bad you missed it while being tortured. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted January 30, 2012 Super User Posted January 30, 2012 Stories like this only confirm my choice to never have children has been the right one. :-) Hush you. Kids are fun.... Just don't plan on having really expensive toys for a while. Quote
scrutch Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 My kids are FAR more rewarding than any expensive toy I could buy. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted January 30, 2012 Super User Posted January 30, 2012 There are two types of fun in life, those with kids and those who don't have kids. Livng life without kids is fun and so is living life with'em. Quote
