[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, please stop encouraging your wife to stay home with the  kids. That sounds like a disaster in the making. You already have poor communication and collaboration on joint spending. That will only get worse if the only income coming into the household is yours.

[b]Also, I find it interesting that you threw out in the beginning that she spent $15k in one month, but later explained that over 1/3 of that was attributable to normal household expenses (mortgage, food, insurance, etc). Your OP made it sound like these purchases were all pure self indulgence. [/b]Granted, it sounds like some of them might be. But just note that you are exaggerating the severity of the situation, [/quote]

So your DW spent about $2000 during the holidays. It's a lot more than I'd spend on gifts, but I can see how a well-off person with a large family can get to that amount. Like a PP said, Amazon is shopping for necessities for most people, it's not like she spent it at the mall. [/quote]
