Home / News / Viral & Trending Mom sobs over husband’s Target trip in hilarious viral TikTok @positively_paige/TikTok Husbands just do no understand—Target is SACRED to us. By Cassandra Stone January 10, 2022 @positively_paige/TikTok Rectangle Somehow, there are men out there walking around this planet in the Year of Our Lord 2022 who still don’t understand the sanctity of Target. If ever there was a universal holy land for mothers, it’s Target. So it’s completely understandable (if hilarious) that this mom sobbed when she found out her husband went on a Tar-jay shopping spree without her. “Mark came home with target bags,” TikTok user @postively_paige wrote in the caption to her now-viral video. “I haven’t been to a target in over a month.” First of all: HOW DARE HE. Second of all, just watch the video. There isn’t a mom alive who won’t completely understand the entire gamut of emotions Paige is experiencing here. @positively_paige Mark came home with target bags. I haven’t been to a target in over a month 🥲 I like to think it misses me too #target ♬ original sound – Paige Saffold Official The comment section for the video, as always, totally nails it. Does Paige know it’s a silly thing to cry over? Sure she does. But does it still feel like an emotional sucker-punch to find out her husband got to enjoy all that Target has to offer while she stayed at home? ALSO YES. “She’s a tired mama who probably hasn’t left the house in a while and has been daydreaming about doing so,” one commenter wrote. “Solidarity, sister!” “So many people don’t get that usually being a mom means not being able to do something on a whim without any planning,” another writes. “You always have to account for your kids.” To which the mom in the video, Paige, said “This.” Because it’s absolutely true. Becoming a mom, especially when you have younger kids, means giving up pretty much all spontaneity for yourself. And what’s more fun than a spontaneous trip to your favorite store? Paige responded to many comments, saying it’s ok to both “laugh and cry” at the video, because it hits a nerve and her reaction is also just really funny. Being able to rummage around Target and collect a cart full of assorted items is a love language, okay? Now I’d say her husband owes her a solo trip for some shopping and Starbucks Related Stories Viral & Trending 8-year-old girl steals family’s car and goes on a 25-minute joyride to Target Viral & Trending Mom advises friend to stop hosting playdates until foster daughter is ‘ready’ for them Viral & Trending Dr. Becky has 3 genius ways for parents to respond to rudeness and talking back The latest Motherly Stories The problem with ‘gentle parenting?’ It’s not always gentle on mothers Motherly Stories Howling at the moon: How I released chronic stress from parenting and secondary infertility Work & Motherhood The life hacks that enable me to run a business and be there for my family Motherly Stories Viral Instagram posts and TikToks show how toxic photo editing apps can be
