[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are expecting our first baby next month and I’ve been trying to get things in order. I’m a planner and like to be prepared. I’ve basically been preparing our lives to not have to worry about essentials for the next six months. I’ve stocked up on paper items, pantry, freezer, bathing essentials, baby essentials, etc. It’s a lot all at once but this will leave up in a position to only have to worry  about weekly grocery shopping, which we get delivered. It was not only a huge expense, but it has taken up room in our 1700sqft condo. Mostly he is upset about the money I’ve spent on things. I have spent a lot - upwards of $5k, but it’s all things we need or for the baby.

My husband hates clutter and has been so annoying with comments like “ we are never going to use this.” “ all of this is going to go to waste”. “ do we really need all of this stuff for the baby?” It’s driving not insane. Instead of being thankful, he wants to criticize me. I’ve been so irritated with him lately. How do I make him shut up about things? [/quote]

Nesting is real.  But if he had no say in the volume of clutter or amount spent - try to see his view point, being steamrolled like that is not a nice feeling.  Try to make peace - early baby days can be difficult and strain even strong relationships. You need to be part of a team, not one person calling all the shots unilaterally.  Btw, paper items can be delivered same day.  [/quote]
