[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We bought the nursery furniture ( crib, dresser, and glider) and a stroller travel system. We got most of the big ticket items at our baby shower ( virtual) but she did buy the rest of the stuff she wanted on the registry.

She said she is worried about taking baby out in a pandemic with cold/flu season. She bought the stuff we normally buy in doubles ( meat, pantry items, and paper products). She bought in bulk baby diapers and wipes because she worries they will go out of stock like they did a couple of months ago. She bought a bunch of paper products and cleaning products. She says it’s smart and that she is preparing for us to not have to go out or worry about needing this stuff. She has also made and froze a bunch of meals to eat when once the baby gets here for dinner. [/quote]

Honestly, you should be asking yourself why you didn’t think of this stuff and discuss with your wife.

Your baby isn’t even both yet and already she is doing all the work and planning.

If you want to have more say in the expenditures then you need to approach her and say, “Wow baby, you did so much, thank you.  I want to be your 50% coparent. Let’s sit down because I’d like to make up a schedule for feedings that I can take on, middle of the night duty and plan when you’re going to get your “me” time and rest.”

Have you been involved in finding child care or are you just pawning that off on your wife too?[/quote]
