You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch!

My husband just went off to bed in a huff. Angry at me for purchasing a laptop for our 9 year old son. It's his number one gift. It's the one thing he has asked for repeatedly. I'm not planning on buying him a lot more but I wanted to get him the thing he wanted most. Not only that but it cost $300. My husband is pretty cheap. They always say a spender usually marries and saver. It wouldn't be so bad if my husband wasn't born in the depression. Now don't be thinking that I am married to an elderly man, it's not that. He just acts like he was. He is surprised that things don't cost a nickel. I am so tired of feeling like I am spending like a drunken sailor. I do not get my nails done, I do not shop for myself very often, I don't buy for the kids under the guise of spending. I went to BJ's this week and bought sponges, Imodium (because he keeps getting diarrhea) and snow pants which I am returning. My friends all feel I am really frugal but my husband thinks I spend like crazy! I feel like he is sucking the fun out of Christmas. I just want this stupid holiday over. I am tired of him ruining all the holidays.
