[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This would never have occurred to me because I generally don't think of shopping as a leisure activity. But DH needed to exchange a Christmas gift today and wanted my feedback so we took our 8 year old along (sibling was at a playdate). I thought it would be miserable for her and bribed her with promise of a treat at the food court.

She had a blast! Spent a full half hour making Lego figures with a random group of kids at the Lego store, enjoyed smelling perfume samples at Sephora, poked around the popmart store. DH got phis shopping done, we got a snack at the food court,  DD didn't even ask to buy anything (I offered to buy her some of the Lego figures and she didn't care). Wound up being an inexpensive and easy way to get a kid out if the house on a rainy day, turned into a binding experience, and was a heck of a lot more fun for me than going to like a trampoline park.

Haven't spent this much time at a mall in like 20 years. Who knew.[/quote]

The library is good for this too. Or a museum. [/quote]
