[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was a lot like your wife. I didn't buy any $3000 sofas, but maybe I should have, since we bought a $500 one and had to replace it after a year (right after the warranty ended). 
Let me tell you where I came from. I was home alone with a toddler all day, which is both exhausting and boring (what a combination!). I used to be a high earner, and now I could not just up and go to get my nails done, or shopping, etc. 
we just moved to a new area, I didn't know anyone, I had no babysitters, etc.
I often had to make decisions very fast, and they could not be very time consuming. I had to get some decent food, but I couldn't go driving around town visiting 3 stores and reading labels with a toddler in tow. Yes I preferred to buy online, pay for deliver, etc, whenever possible.
We had huge fights about it with my husband. Yes I felt micromanaged, yes I felt under appreciated. Luckily things got better, DS went to part time preschool, I had more time for careful research and planning and actual shopping. 
So, maybe your wife is just overwhelmed. Does she have any kind of childcare? For some of us, kids are overwhelming and tiring, especially at first. 
Not saying she is right you are wrong, just trying to show you her side of things. [/quote]
