OP here. I would have suggested we look at cheaper options. [/quote]
Different poster, but that is why she didn't tell you. Nesting mothers-to-be are not in the mood for compromise. Take a look at the cost of nursery furniture in general. You'll probably see comparable prices. This furniture will probably last for all the children you choose to have and have a decent resale value once you are done with it. Unless this breaks the bank, it isn't worth the aggravation. Let it go.[/quote]

OP here. I do agree that I’m more upset about her blowing the $500 limit than the purchase itself. We can afford the purchase, it’s just that she made a big deal about me spending $1200 on a glider, and set the $500 with authorization. This was in May and then now she goes and buys all of this without letting me know. [/quote]

If she buys all the furniture in the house, how did you end up buying a glider for the living room?  Is there any chance she was more upset about what you bought than how much it cost?[/quote]

OP here. She bought 98% of the furniture when we bought this place. I let her design it and pick out what she wanted because I didn’t care much. We are both more into neutral colors.

I had a recliner that broke shortly after moving in and bought another one. I’m the only one that uses it.

She cared about the price, not the piece of furniture. It fits well with everything else in our living room. [/quote]
