[quote=Anonymous]Here's the answer: DH is just being reasonable about buying your parents a car. You, as a couple, are being very generous in providing your parents with housing as well as additional financial support for extras. Now you're going to buy them a car. That's awesome. $30k is totally reasonable and generous, and you yourself state they'd be happy with that. So buy them that, and feel tremendously lucky that a) you do so well financially and b) you and DH are on the same page about helping your parents. I'd be irritated that my DH is irritated about me treating friends, but I wouldn't take it personally I guess, since he is the same way with his own family. It just sounds like that's the way he thinks about money. It also sounds like you'd have more confidence and feel more powerful if you earned income too. I think it's a question of whether that's important enough to you to give up the SAH lifestyle. For me, it would not be, I don't think.[/quote]
