This is beyond rude. Very insensitive. When does not liking clutter equate to not wanting a baby? Common sense isn’t that common.

This. No need to buy so much stuff at one time.

OP here. What type of question is this? Yes, he wanted and wants a baby. Our baby was planned and is very loved. How dare you ask such an insensitive question.

I would be livid if I was your husband and not even about the money, just the ridiculous hoard of stuff.

Good for you. Give yourself a cookie for being extra special.

At least I won’t need the 5357 cookies stashed and rotting in closets like nuclear war is coming lol

You started it with the rude comment of calling OP “ insufferable”. Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it.

Is this op? I mean, I posted oh, well, but you are just nasty. Above pp was a bit too high strung as well. I think that people who fall for such extremes, such as you and the above pp, are insecure people that ought to realize how their OCD tendencies affect al those around them, negatively. I can't image how nuts you will go when the baby comes!
We all go a bit nuts, but I have never heard of anyone hoarding toilet paper bcs they are having a baby. EVER!

Hold on. You are calling whoever posted that “ nasty” but have no problem calling OP “ insufferable”. You get what you give. You started it.

OP, you've gone a little coocoo.
But, we forgive you as you are expecting.

OP here. I do suffer from mild OCD. The main thing is I will be the one to handle all of this stuff even after the baby comes, so I’m saving myself from doing it with it a baby. He hates clutter but never seems to mind when he buys stuff for no reason. All the stuff I bought fits in a walk-in closet in the guest room that we never use. The only things out are things for the baby like a swing, bouncer, and some stuff I will be making freezer meals with.

I think you need to dial it down. Admit that you went a bit overboard to him (and yourself) and ask him for some grace in return. You’re not going to be in a bunker you will be making plenty of trips to cvs. Meanwhile please see someone about your anxiety for many of us it gets worse after birth (although better for some) and you really want to have a therapist on hand you can talk to and get prescription from if necessary. Also you need to start outsourcing and letting dh take care of some things, even if it’s not to your standards.

Did your husband want to have a baby , OP?

OP here. Good for you. You’re not me.

We have the space and the money to do so. It would be my responsibility once the baby comes so I’m making life easier on myself.

If you’re the one to do all of this after the baby comes then he should shut up. Or he can do it himself.
