my mom is a businesswoman. every christmas, she has to give presents to her clients and she has to do the christmas shopping personally. this christmas season is no different. it is almost december and she has to start her shopping already. this shopping duty does not last for one to two days. this lasts for weeks. there are hundreds of things she has to buy and it takes long because she has to compare prices to get the best bargains. every year, i am the one who she wants to help her with this task. it is kind of tiring but, hey, i am a good daughter and things have to be done. i love to shop but this kind of shopping is kind of tiring. what about you? do you help your mother with her christmas shopping? have a nice day!

When my mom lived close, I liked holiday shopping with her. It was quality time spent together. Now she lives 1300 miles away. So I don't get to see her that often let alone shop with her. The kind of shopping you have to do with your mom would probably suck all of the fun right out of it for me. But I am sure she is glad for the help. Hope it goes quickly for you this year.

My mother does not do a lot of Christmas shopping, she mostly gives money these days. But if she did and she asked me to go, I would probably go with her. Of course I would have to drap my kids along which may me more unhelpful than helpful. I think it is nice you help your mother, this seems like a lot of work that she has to do.

I love shopping with my mom, I enjoy looking for bargains and for stuffs to buy for other people. I also get to buy bargains for myself and she is the one who pays for it hehehe. I love shopping whether its for myself or for others even if its tiring. its the achievement of being able to find good deals that makes it exciting and fun.

If I was at home ,and free ,I ' ll go shopping with my mother. It is just a way to accompany with her. But in fact , I can't recall the last time I went shopping with her. I always have lots of things to do , have a little spare time everyday,but my mother like to spend much time on shopping ,so I have to give up this plan usually.

Even though my mom and I bicker a lot when we shop together, I love shopping with her. Not only do I get to purchase some stuff i usually can't purchase on my own, but I can also get a second opinion with regards to the items I'm going to buy.

him kaliyha mee too. i value my mom's opinion when it comes to buying something. for example, when i try something on and she says it looks nice, i buy it. when she says it does not look nice, i forget about it. thanks for sharing. have a nice day!

I would like to go shopping with my mother or even just sit and have a decent visit but she abandoned me when I was born and I have tried hard to build a relationship with her but she wants no part of me. Oh well she doesn't know what she's missing!!! LOL

hi, grandmaof2 that's a little bit sad. but i guess inspite of the sadness you might have felt, that is ok because i can tell that you are a good person. i do not want to say anything bad about your mother, but it is really unfortunate that she has not come to know you. and yeah -- she does not know what she is missing. take care!
