Hi mummies, I need to know what you feel about my situation. This is gonna be a long post but please bear with me.
My husband and I are expecting our baby boy on 11 nov 2012 (24 weeks now), this is an unplanned pregnancy and I'm 20 and he is 22. He is working while I'm not, so financially I have to depend on him for everything. We started to buy baby things for the first time like clothes, sterilizer and etc last week at expo baby fair and fortunately, we had his mum to accompany us and she was kind enough to buy so many things for baby.
No.1, when we were at the baby fair, he seemed impatient, like I wasn't even done with shopping at the baby fair, he was like "I think nothing to buy Liao la, let's go" and I just kept quite as his mother was there and I didnt want to be like "oh... I haven't fully utilize your mother's money for baby, so let's continue" you know what I mean?
No.2, I was at taka with my mother and brother the other day and so I went down to the baby fair and took a look at the prams they offer as we weren't able to see what the baby expo had to offer as he was so rush the other day. Then I saw this pram which costs 600++, which I thought was good thou I know it's too expensive but I gave him a call anyway to inform him abt the price. Then he was like "Walau, ofcourse very expensive la" at that point of time I was super angry because I recalled the price of a pram at baby expo that I saw which costs only 299, then I replied "you see! That day at the baby expo don't know you rushing for what, 299 one don't even want to take a look, now tell you 600++ one you kpkb" then he just kept quiet. But ofc the 600$ pram and 299$ pram were different brands. Okay nvm,
No.3 Ytd night, I told him, "next week we go down taka baby fair again k? We buy some receiving blankets and mittens for baby" then he was like "the receiving blanket is a must? If don't have cannot?" okay, I don't know if don't have cannot or not, but the other day my mum asked if I bought receiving blankets from baby expo anot so I assumed it is a must have, but anyway, even if its not a must, can't we buy for baby? It's not like the blanket will cost 600$ right?
Overall, I have to clarify one thing, his salary is on the average side, is able to feed both baby and I. We haven't had our Chinese wedding yet, so we have to save up for baby and also our wedding. So if he was so particular abt money because of these reasons I can understand, BUT since can afford to paint his car and modify his car (he is planning to) which costs more than 1000 over dollars then why baby's pram 600$ too expensive? Receiving blanket I want to buy, cannot meh? These baby things are necessary. His re painting of car is just for luxury. So can you mummies tell me, is he being selfish? Or does he thinks that me and my son is being a burden to him?
Oh... And 1 more thing, I'm always very excited abt meeting our son, I'm always talking about him and everything. But he never talk abt him, always just give a small smile back to me when ever I talk to him about baby.
