please don't flame...quick black friday question
I am going shopping with my sisters today (prob to Roosevelt Field Mall, maybe to the source also). DH has a lot of housework to do today so I was wondering if it would be absolutely ridiculous to bring DS with me. He is 5.5 months and would be in the stroller. I have never been to the mall on black friday so not sure how crazy it gets during the day. I am also nursing so would need to nurse him while I am there. Is it really insane during the day or is that just in the early AM? Am I totally crazy for even considering this? I figured if it is really bad I will just leave, but I am wondering if it is pointless to bother. Normally I wouldn't care to go but my sisters are only home for the weekend and we never get to go shopping together anymore. What do you think?
Like I said, please no flames. Just a question from an inexperienced black friday shopper.

Re: please don't flame...quick black friday question
I don't see why you would get flamed-lots of people bring their kids out shopping.
As for whether you should-I think it depends on how your DC does whenever you take them shopping.
My 1 year old, I wouldn't do it. He would be a mess and I would have to bag it early. But, when he was 5 or 6 months, I would have gone for it.
Have fun-get some great deals!

Re: please don't flame...quick black friday question
I think it woudl depend on the child.
My 5 month old- no way.
I can barely get through a trip to the grocery store with her.
She's way too unpredictable.
But if your child is good with being in the stroller, shopping etc, I don't see why not.
I don't think there will be stampedes or anything... I'd do it.

I agree. If your DC is great in the stroller I would go.

Early in the morning to a place like Best Buy- hell no. During the day is crowded, but no where near the madness you see in the early AM.

I am just jealous that your DH is doing LOTS of housework.

We took DS to the mall this AM. DH had him in the Bjorn and he was fine.
