Depending on the age and sex of your child, you end up either dragging or being dragged throughout the mall searching for ‘the’ outfit, school box, sneakers, or backpack.

For those of us who have children young enough who really don’t care what they wear, and are just thrilled when we come home with a Thomas the Train lunchbox, or Dora sneakers, enjoy it while you can, because it doesn’t take long before you are faced with ‘the’ shopping experience to end all shopping experiences - shopping with a teen.
