When mothers go shopping, they’re likely leaving the store with items they didn’t intend to purchase, based on a June 2014 study conducted by YouGov for Cartonomy. According to US mother internet users, overspending on extra, unplanned items was the most frustrating part of shopping for or with their family, cited by 51% of respondents.

Mothers were less irritated by bad behavior from their children or handling multiple requests for items—which could often lead to conflict or disorganization—from family members.
