My husband refuses to take the grocery list when he goes shopping. How can I get him to take it?
listwoman asked:
I am perfectly willing to do the grocery shopping, but he prefers to do it. I think it is disrespectful of my time not to take it, since I end up having to make a second trip to the store anyway for items he forgot. What should I do?

Put it in his pocket without him seeing you do it. Other then that–just go shopping yourself. Cracker Jack
He probably just forgets it, after you make the list, fold it up and stick it in his wallet, that is what my wife does. That way, when he gets there, he knows where it is and can refer to it if needed. Chad B
sneak it in his pocket or write it on his hand when hes sleeping maryann
Do the shopping yourself. Ms. GTO is haulin’ @ss!

Make do without whatever he forgot.
When he can’t have milk on his cereal or his morning coffee, he may start to see the value of a shopping list.
What, exactly, is the problem with taking a list? Is it too archaic? Make it electronic – put it on his PDA, his cell phone, or whatever. Sometime wrapping something up in electronics makes it more interesting. ablex
Go with him. So once you notice he has forgotten something you both are already there and you can go back and get it. And you list gets to go to. bigboodybenz2007
We ALWAYS go together. I man the list and he mans the cart. Sunlife
Wow, talk about pettiness! I would call him every ten minutes to remind him about what to buy. That will probably annoy the heck out of him and make him want to take the list next time! Or you can just get really pissed at him for forgetting something when he got home. Some things are just not worth arguing over. Me Vale
He sounds like a macho do what I want, I dont need no damn list, kind of guy. You need to show him who wears the pants in the family. Get your frying pan or skillet and then threaten to beat him with it if he doesnt take the list. Leighla
If he prefers to do it, then he also prefers to make multiple trips.
If you’re perfectly willing to do the shopping, why is it an issue for you to have to go buy what he doesn’t? It’s not like you made multiple trips.. sheloves_dablues
keep telling him NOT ever to take the grocery list when going shopping. This will make him to do just the opposite. OC
Unfortunately, we women can be controlling when it comes to this stuff and usually feel that our way is better. My husband won’t go to the grocery store at all so count your blessings and let him do it his way. If you alternate your trips it will be more equitable and you’ll both get the stuff you want.

Draw some dirty pictures on the list…no joke. Men are simple creatures. Jess
Write on the bottom of the list that he gets a B J if he brings back everything on the list.
It won’t matter whether he takes the list or not he’ll get everything.
Problem solved. GUY bein’ a GUY
First of all…go with the flow!
Let him do it his way then when the time comes that he needs something or ask for something that was on the list then you can tell him he would’ve took the list! Don’t go back to the store to get what he forgot.Try to do without it just to prove a point.
Then again it could be that he thinks it’s not MANLY to use a list! pd_didi
pin it onto his shirt (;
go along with him
text him the list Sincerly Me…
when hes off guard run up & staple it to his fore head Walt
I usually SMS the list to my husband after he reached the grocery store ..

Take the hint already.
Clearly you have not prepared a quality list of purchases.
Ask his permission to ask him what to buy. Make the list as he dictates and then GO BUY THE DAMNED GROCERIES YOPURSELF. The Dr Dr
The list represents his nagging hated of your constant whining over astupid grocery list…..deal with it Mark R
