Mum asks her husband to pick up trainers for their son – and ends up with fancy girls’ shoes instead

PARENTS have a lot on their plate – especially when it comes to prepping for a new school year.

Desperate for a little help, one mum asked her husband to order new trainers for their son – but when they arrive she sees a pretty pair of girls shoes instead.

Mum-of-two Jen Hull shared her husband's shopping fail online, which struck a chord with other mums.

Frustrated and amused she wrote on her blog: "I’m just wondering if it’s just my man-child or if anyone else feels my pain.

"My son starts school on Wednesday. That’s less than two days away. I’ve organised everything – the name stickers for everything, the uniform, his school bag, his school shoes, his back to school hair-cut, his gym bag, his water bottle…

“I asked man-child aka husband to order the black gym shoes. He literally had one job…"

He did get one thing right, and that was the colour of the shoes. But rather than a pair of sports shoes as requested, the bloke ended up with a pair ofgirls Mary Jane Clarks.

Her post quickly went viral, according to Kidspot, with many mums consoling her while laughing off the error.

“Oh my daughter has these, I doubt it’s any consolation but she said they are comfortable hubby’s eh?!” one wrote.

I asked man-child aka husband to order the black gym shoes. He literally had one job.

And another added: “I just showed this to my husband and his response was ‘what’s wrong with the shoes?’”

While a third teased:“Let him wear them, nothing bad will happen.”

“I’ve just shown my husband this and his response was ‘I like his style, screw it up royally & next year he won’t even get one job’ Are we being played?!?!” one more mused. 

“So basically, he typed in plimsoles on the Clark’s website and just ordered the first pair that came up,” added one more.

Others found it all too relatable saying their husband's would do the exact same thing.
