[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let your DH manage his relationships with his mother and family.  He should be allowed to buy a gift for his father.

Do you know if your DH had prior discussions with his mom and or siblings about this gift?  Beccause a comment from MIL like, “I got the Behemoth Premium XL grill for your dad for Father’s Day. It’ll comes out to $100 for each of you,” may sound demanding to you if you didn’t know there was a prior discussion and agreement about it.  But if there was prior discussion and agreement, it’s just passing along the information that the purchase was made and how much each now needs to pay.

If that amount is a real budget buster for your family, you can discuss that issue with your DH.  But each of you should have some money each month that you’re allowed to spend independently — he does work for it after all, plus you wouldn’t be happy if he made you account for every penny, either.

That's a good point, thank you.
No I have no idea if that was discussed. [/quote]
