Today is the biggest?shopping?day of the year and if you are like many other parents you end up having to bring your children along with you. If it is at all possible leave the kids at home (maybe with a relative or one parent) while getting their gifts. If you?cannot?leave them at home here are few tips I have learned after years of shopping Black Friday with the kids.
- DON?T expect much from the kids. Getting up at 1 am is not something they enjoy so they are going to be ill at best.
- Be sure to plan meal time and bring a bag full of various snacks. Kids will need to eat and in the flurry of shopping don?t forget that.
- Have an emergency bag ready at all times. Have one bag that will get you through the day with your kids. It needs to be filled with diapers, formula, clean clothes, blankets, Gripe Water, sippy cups, bottles, and anything else that you must have. It can be left in the car and items transferred t smaller bag as you need them.
- Bring plenty of distractions. Portable dvd players or ipads are great. There are plenty of gadgets that allow you to strap these to strollers.
- Get a stroller. Even your kids love to walk a stroller will save your life this day. We use two actually, one of the kids and one for the bags!
