I think both your hubby and mother-in-law are too much.
For one thing, your hubby should get it through his thick skull that his priority right now is to provide and save for his own family NOT splurge it on unnecessary items for his mum. There is a time and place for everything - if you want to buy a gift, buy one that is within your means. If your wife has to use her own money to buy groceries and baby items - things which a man SHOULD PROVIDE FOR - then it's clear that you're splurging OUT of your means.
You both need to set your financial goals TOGETHER and on the same tangent, otherwise you're going to end up feeling more hurt, bitter and disappointed.
Btw, to the ladies who aren't working, try not to use too much of your own cash for things that your hubby should provide for. Your savings is meant to be for YOU not for the household. At least that's what my hubby tells me.
