Husbands, am I right? Living with them can be a challenge, especially when it comes to shopping. Thankfully, some brilliant mind has introduced a husband nursery in a mall, making it easier for couples to enjoy their shopping trips without the typical bickering.
The Vanke mall in Shanghai recently unveiled its “husband nursery,” and the internet is buzzing with excitement over this clever solution to a common marital dilemma. Do you dread when your husband trails behind you in stores, repeating, “You don’t need that”? If only we could escape to a place where we could consider that perfect wrap dress or (insert your desired item here) in tranquility! In China, you can drop off your significant other and browse to your heart’s content.
Worried about your partner’s boredom while you shop? Fear not! The husband nursery is equipped with tables and chairs for dining or reading, a TV for entertainment, and even a fridge. Plus, the first lucky guy to arrive might just get to enjoy a massage chair. While the decor may be a bit minimal, for those who dislike shopping, a comfy chair and their phone are really all they need to survive their partner’s retail adventure. Although it may not be as elaborate as the American man cave, it certainly provides enough to keep the guys occupied.
Admittedly, the name might be a touch misleading since our husbands aren’t really children (even if they sometimes act like it), and they don’t need a nursery. In Mandarin, the term more accurately translates to “husband storage room,” as reported by Mashable. Images of this husband hangout have flooded Weibo, China’s Twitter-like platform, garnering mostly positive feedback. One woman even inquired, “Is there a wife nursery? I’m not a fan of shopping.” Although there doesn’t seem to be any plans for a female equivalent, we can imagine the husbands wouldn’t mind sharing their new favorite spot with some equally uninterested wives.
However, don’t expect many women to join them. Research shows that men typically become bored with shopping in just 26 minutes—not even half an hour! In contrast, women can endure shopping for an impressive two hours before losing interest, according to Psychology Today. The same source indicated that 80% of men dislike shopping with their partners, and 45% actively avoid it altogether.
Having a designated area for the guys who clearly would rather be anywhere else makes perfect sense. If you plan a day of shopping at the mall, you can easily drop off your devoted husband and pick him back up without the usual arguments in the towel section. The husband nursery is arguably one of the best shopping trends since online shopping took over our lives. A little beer and wine would make it an even better addition to malls everywhere.
So, if you’re ready for a shopping spree without the hassle, consider this innovative solution for your next outing!
