[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let it go. It's his money.[/quote] No, it's family money. A purchase of $1100 for ANYONE would need to be discussed and budgeted for in my family. OP, your second suggestion is the best idea going forward. You need to have a budget. Everyone's needs should be factored in. Everyone's wants should also be factored in. I would try really, really hard NOT to make this about the iPhones for your stepkids. I would especially avoid suggesting that your husband should've given them your old phones so that you guys could get new ones. But definitely have a conversation about big expenditures and prior discussions thereof. In my family (also a blended family - daughter from my first marriage and second daughter with DH, so I'm sympathetic to the whole deal), we have an agreement that any purchase over $200 needs to be discussed before it happens.[/quote]
