WWYD - DH's birthday
So DH's birthday is next week and he asked me last night what I got him. Uhh I didn't get him anything. We had talked about this before and I said that I was going to get him something small from T but nothing from me. Here's my reasoning: we're in the middle of a move and buying a bigger house. AND I just paid for his partial season ticket package for the Flyers, which was not cheap at all. He said the Flyers tickets don't count because they're for both of us but that's not entirely true. I'll go to a game or two but for the most part, he'll be going and taking a friend.
He was outraged that I wasn't going to buy him anything so I asked him to send me a list of what he wanted. He sent me a list of parts for his Jeep - the cheapest one was like $400! What the what!
So what would you do in this situation?
Re: WWYD - DH's birthday
uh ignore his list and come up with something small to get him.
would he spend $400 for you on your birthday?
I mean Ben and I aren't big gift givers so to me a $400 birthday gift seems a bit outrageous

I'll start with - I'm mad for you right now.
What would I do? Um after the bolded happened... a jeep magazine and that's it! Given your current circumstances, he needs to grow up, there are needs that need to be taken care of that outweigh his want for a big present. What is he 5? And yes, I would count the tickets as his big present and get something from T.
We usually set a $ limit given our present fiances, and give ideas within that. And we've given up on surprises and just say what we want. I even ordered my bday gift this year, along with his ha!
Our bdays are 17 days apart, and previously we always went on vacation. This year, it just wasn't possible. We both understood that.
This!
