fair to husband?
I am a full time mommy and take pride in taking care of our daughter and all of our families day to day needs. However I am being to find grocery shopping alone with out toddler a daunting task :( with my last pregnancy at a certain point my husband began going with me but I was working then so I didn't feel bad. Now I am not sure if it would be selfish to get him involved again. I know he will do it if I ask. It's all the loading and unloading that gets me not to mention my pgp :(
I told my husband look it's not easy going to be the store when ur gone and taking our 6 month old in and out of the car and grocerys and sometimes my 6 year old I'm pregnant have asthma and just can't do it.... So we all go together and shop. I'm only 3 months along but my breathing is bad.

It's always fine to ask!! But do remember my tip about getting away once a week for a couple of hours while he watches kiddos! I loved that. Two hours of just being ME rather than mommy. Of course I spent it doing household errands, LOL. But it was nice to run around unencumbered. good luck
He is someone who is definitely more then willing to help. Often I won't allow him. I tell him I am saving it up for when I really need it lol. Which now I think I do. Thanks for all the opinions ladies. I feel better about asking now.

Hm. I'm not sure. If he is the kind that will be pleased to help, then sure ask him. I went shopping at off times. What I'd do is go on Saturday afternoon and have him stay home with the little ones. Frankly, I LOVED my weekly peace and quiet at the grocery sans kids and husband. :>) It would take maybe an hour or so and then when I got home, I'd bring in a few groceries with me and then take kiddos/baby from husband and he'd go get the rest of the groceries and then I'd put them away. Worked well.
I also found something that worked for me--- I'd put the kids to bed and then zip up to the grocery. It was never crowded then and it is much faster when hardly anyone else is in the store.
So, that's how I handled it. I liked my two hours on a Saturday or Sunday to run errands alone and it was good bonding time for hubby and kids.

It's not selfish. Some grocery items can be heavy and bagged groceries can get heavy and it is really better not to lift stuff that is on the heavy side.
My husband works like 70 hours a week. I only work like 15...but my kids are with me ask the time even at work. If he can't go, I'll do it myself but he normally goes with me. I don't think it's selfish at all. Being a mom is hard work too. We use it as family time... u can ask sweetly and if he gives you the impression he'd rather not, then don't worry about it and keep at it alone. He may be fine with going.

That's a good idea but I know she loves to get out of the house with me. She likes to pick out her fruit for the week lol.

No its not selfish. Maybe she can stay home with him while you shop
