[quote=Anonymous]On DCUM everyone's response is to either crap on you or tell you to play hardball, but have you tried communicating to your husband about this ?

1. Explain that walking up stairs with an infant is really difficult. Explain that early on you are going to be the primary caregiver and it's upsetting to you that he's not taking seriously how difficult this will make things for you. Explain that you feel like he doesn't really respect your concerns.

2. Explain that you don't want a roofdeck and his flippancy about spending 80K on something *he* likes while ignoring your concerns makes you feel like you're not respected and not a equal partner in the process.

3. As someone else suggested, sit down with him and put together a list of your priorities and must-haves and what you might be willing to give up on. Figure out how much you're comfortable spending and use that list to guide your decisions going forward.  I've found that it's much easier to navigate fights about money and big decisions if you have some kind of organized framework rather than fighting in the moment.[/quote]
