[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only buy 2 books before baby was born, and now at 3 years old, I have purchased more than $200 of books. 
I was a bit scared of germs from library book when he was an infant, and then when he gets a bit older, [b]I found that borrowing books from library is not realistic because he would tear up book/chew on book/drooling on library book (yuck!).[/b] And, a lot of time, he was not interested at all I read book to him, and due date has come.

Therefore, over the past 3 years, I decide to buy books whenever I find it interesting, and especially it is on sale around holiday. And, I buy it with my credit card.

I & DH have joint account for big/regular expenses (mortgage/car payment/utilities/insurance/daycare/groceries etc). And, each has personal account to buy whatever we want because I don't want any nagging or need approval from DH for anything I want to buy for our son. I am working full time. If I don't work, I would want DH to give me a monthly allowance e.g. $100 or more something for anything I want to buy with. [/quote]

This is also why it is not wise to spend $200 on new books from the store for babies.  They will damage them.  They start by drooling on them, then as they start to acquire large motor skills they pick them up by the pages and rip them, or they throw them at the table or sit on them or eat them.  Baby books are frequently damaged, so gently used books from thrift and consignment stores work best.  I have no problem getting a few wonderful starter books (especially ones with significance), but $200 worth?  That's just overkill.  Also you have no idea how many friends will give you cherished books they remember from childhood or books they remember their children loving.  [/quote]
