WHAT?

How much was the total troll?[/quote]

His wording is off but most people take their spouse's input before making a big financial decision.

That being said, you can't reason with a first time prego and live happily so let it go but rationally discuss importance of making bug decisions together, as being parents y'all have to be more responsible and will face more issues worth a mutual brainstorming.[/quote]

OP here. I don’t think my wording was off. It may come across as harsh but is isn’t. We both are free to spend whatever we want, but bigger purchases over $500 are always given a heads up and authorization by each other. This allows us to keep our budget under control and not overspend. [/quote]

You’re using corporate language to describe a personal interaction.  That’s what pp means by your wording being off.

It’s totally understandable that you’re upset, but just a heads up that your wife is in total nesting mode, it’s hormonal, and crap like this will happen.   If you in a fortunate enough position that $6k doesn’t cause a giant dent in your finances, then live with it and ask her to give you a heads up going forward.  [/quote]
