to expect DP not to whinge when I spend money on clothes for the kids?

[julezboo]

I decided today as its a nice day I would take myself of the our nearest next shop to get the baby some summer clothes, he has one pair of shorts that fit him! Everytime I get him out of his pram/carseat hes dripping with sweat bless him.

I emailed DP first to check it was ok and didnt get a reply, so 2 hours after waiting for a reply i went off anyway (12noon) have to be back for 3 so I wanted some time to browse leisurely.

Ive come home to a horrible email off DP whinging on at me for wanting to go to next. I only spent £27 so not much!

But what gets my goat is in the last week or so he's bought 3...yes 3 xbox games, its the new xbox so roughly about £90 I didnt moan, when he asked me i said "if you want" I always do.

But im being random for wanting to buy the baby some clothes from next !! Theres not that many shops round here, we have a tescos, some crappy shops in the town centre and a sainsburys not very much variety and tbh I do often buy their clothes from tesco but I faniced a change! Im sick of either staying in the house, or going to the same places!

PS it was my tax credits i spent not as if i took his money out of the bloody bank grrr!

Xenia - my opinion of Ségolène Royal is my own, not my partner's - what are you talking about???

... and I think you should ashamed of yourself, strident feminist that you are, not to know anything about Ségolène Royal. There is lots written about her in the British media - try the Economist.

If any of my Charges Fathers had been in charge of shopping for their clothes I'd never have taken them over the door!

My present DadBoss can't even coordinate the clothes in her wardrobe on the very rare occasion he dresses her!

Genidef, where are you from?

oh do i surprised this thread is overtaken by Xenia mania? buying clothes for kids is lovely and doing shopping is fun
she seems to think most women is under educated and have nothing to do beside sitting home with theirs children.

Eleusis - I grew up in New Jersey but my parents now live in St. Louis. You?

Born and raised in the burbs of Chicago. Lived in Texas for ten years, and now London for 5 years. So, West of the Mississippi and I'd vote for Guiliani. In fact, I probably will vote for Guiliani.

Good for you. Me too if he gets the nomination.

Chicago always was a bit blue though. Seriously, do you think Guiliani will get very far in Texas?
