[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Our condo is not that small. We put most of the stuff in our walk-in closet in the third bedroom that is an office/guest room. I should have clarified that I spent $5k in total for everything for the baby and the household. I went to Costco and doubled what we normally buy. I spent about $1500 there. I got necessities like toilet paper, garbage bags, laundry stuff, bathing stuff ( we buy almost everything from there), frozen fruits/veggies, and bulk stuff like oils, canned products, granola bars, etc. I spent the rest on stuff from Target ( our usual but doubled), and the rest of the stuff from our baby registry. I also got a stroller travel system and The Snoo within the $5k. The nursery was separate and we spent about $2k on it.

OP here. I think all of this stuff is reasonable. [/quote]

That’s not the point. You don’t get to just make those decisions unilaterally. You’re a team. You needed to discuss your plans with him and give him the chance to object beforehand. [/quote]

Not OP, but I'm generally responsible for buying all the household goods in our relationship.  I guess I probably would mention plans to stock up, but would generally have the "authority" to just do what I thought was best, within reason.  I definitely would have discussed a snoo (kind of a luxury purchase), and maybe the stroller system to get input.

But, there is really not a huge need to stock up a bunch - Target and costco both deliver.  I did some nesting, but it was more trying to declutter / organize /clean - aside from setting up the nursery.[/quote]
