[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thx for the responses.

It's funny. I don't give a second thought paying for the big stuff (college will be paid for, we cover clothes, gas money, phone, etc) It's the little choices around the edges where I just think I'd do it differently, precisely as a learning experience (i.e., you can't get that iPhone 7 if you eat at chipotle instead of packing lunch). It's sort of like my 8 year old and chores. Most of what she does, I can still do faster and better, but I think the routine and responsibility is important.

Dating is really new, btw, so I'm especially curious about thoughts on that!

It is harsh to wonder about paying for prom. Prom is a great thing you remember all of your life, it's not an iPhone 7.
Those prom pictures will be coming out and being discussed 20-30+ years from now - it's kind of a precious time in life.
I'd pay for the tickets and dinner too.

My DD just went today. We're pretty strict too but we paid for her ticket and dress and gave her money for dinner.
Did we give her money for a spray tan or professional makeup? No. Other girls did that but that seemed excessive and frivolous.

If you are questioning your husband's judgement in his spending for his son you are overstepping your bounds a bit I'd say.
