Wife Is Going Overboard..

I had a designer design my nursery, it cost me 300 and my nursery is gorgeous. OP tell your wife to check out online designers like laurel and wolf or heavenly. You really get bang for your buck, I was seriously happy with the result.

Cosleeping with a newborn is dangerous. Do not do this.

Just get a cheap crib or bassinet

Co-sleeping is safe if done right.

OP here. As healthcare professionals, we know the science, and co-sleeping is not safe. Our child will only sleep in a crib or bassinet. We aren’t against many things, but feel very strongly about the risk of co-sleeping.

Sure thing, kiddo. Your kid will definitely be the special one who likes sleeping in a crib and never in a parent’s arms or a swing. Guess your wife isn’t the only unrealistic one.

Or OP and wife can use some of that money and hire a night nurse or buy that 1,200 snoo. Co sleeping is not safe period.

Have you ever met with a financial planner? Maybe now that you are starting a family you could get some professional advice on how much you should be saving vs. spending (and involving a professional saves you from being "the bad guy"). Then work out what your known, "fixed" expenses are (mortgage, utilities, groceries, etc) and then you will see what is left for other stuff. You guys will have to compromise and agree.

Budget and money issue. Personal opinions on what baby needs and whether this is a worthy splurge aside, time to sit down with a counselor and figure out your outlooks on money and family finances.

Dude, do NOT let her quit her job once baby arrives. Women like this will back up you. So long as she works she will appreciate the value of a dollar.

I say this as a man with a SAHM DW who would never waste money like this

It is only dangerous if you are using drugs or alcohol. Otherwise, that is how the human race rolled for millions of years. I co-slept with my babies and nothing bad happened.

Ha! experts with no real experience. Let's see what happens when the baby arrives and won't sleep by themselves!

No baby wants to sleep in a bassinet or crib. You have to train them to do so. And I am speaking from experience. If OP hi is co sleeping is dangerous, they will train baby to sleep in crib. It’s not easy and yes I have two kids.

Look at all the apologists for unsafe sleep crawling out of the woodwork.

Op here. I meant for night sleep. Of course our child will sleep in our arms, a swing, or a Rock and Play during the day, but we plan to only use a bassinet or crib at night. We will never cosleep.

OP, right there with you. It’s for her so she can show it off to all her girlfriends, blah, blah, blah. A bunch of cackling hens. You’re gonna end up with so much crap that you will try to sell and will get pennies on the dollar for it.

Let her spend a rediculous amount of money on stuff that the kid has no clue the make, color etc., then when it comes time for you to buy yourself a new toy and wifey starts to pissbag, kindly remind her of the exorbitant amount of money she spent of stuff and tell her to shut her pie hole.
