Her way of "communicating" is to parry with some witty retort, insist she is right. You see, you are always wrong, because she never heard a word you said!

OP here. I’m simply responding to the questions or comments. You can take it as defensive if you want.

I do find it funny in the two posts that someone linked, people were jumping on the male OP and basically saying his wife was so smart and well prepared for doing basically the same as I am doing. I wonder if people just like to attack the OP on these threads, regardless of the question. Like they need the drama and satisfaction. You don’t have to respond or look at my thread if it’s not a topic you like.

Yep, yep. Like I said....

You know your life doesn’t end right lol?! Like you can order shit while nursing and while baby naps. I would be livid if I was your husband and not even about the money, just the ridiculous hoard of stuff.

Minimalism is a cult.

On the other hand he needs to calm down. Nesting is real and $5k including a snoo, stroller, and carseat is not crazy.

I should have clarified that I spent $5k in total for everything for the baby and the household. I went to Costco and doubled what we normally buy. I spent about $1500 there. I got necessities like toilet paper, garbage bags, laundry stuff, bathing stuff ( we buy almost everything from there), frozen fruits/veggies, and bulk stuff like oils, canned products, granola bars, etc. I spent the rest on stuff from Target ( our usual but doubled), and the rest of the stuff from our baby registry. I also got a stroller travel system and The Snoo within the $5k. The nursery was separate and we spent about $2k on it.

OP here. I think all of this stuff is reasonable.

Didn’t you hear, PP? The husband ALSO does not like boxes delivered according to the OP lolz
