I called the one on the North Side directly and I even told the delivery person that I didn't want it. But, there are different people that deliver and they ignore the signs that I have on my mailbox. What else can I do?
I recently ordered some furniture for our house since we recently moved and my husband thinks it's a ripoff and calls me a shopping addict. Our house barely has any furniture so I think it's reasonable to buy furniture and essential appliances. I'm a homemaker (and we have kids) so we have a shared bank account and I also have my own. For example, our mattresses are on the floor and I ordered bed frames (that were not too expensive) but my husband gets angry and says he'll make them. But it's been months since he said that. Also, we are not struggling financially at all so I don't understand why he's controlling me financially like that. There are certain things that he approves of me buying because "he" perceives it as a good deal.
As for the Skills, I read the book a few years ago and tried to implement them. These days, our marriage is strained and we recently went through some tough times like loss of family members, etc.
My husband have always been cheap and he was raised like that even though his parents were loaded. But they would spend lavishly on themselves while giving my husband a small budget for his clothing, for example. Even buying our baby's bassinet a few years ago, he gave me a hard time about it even though it's not on the high end. He just doesn't understand that things have gotten more expensive these days and it's not like back then when he was growing up.
Is this normal? The garbage truck came by and I still had some garbage in my bin. Should I just leave it?
I was at the Farmer's Market today, and the certified organic fruit stand had a sticker that said "from Chile" on the apples, and I asked why that is, and they said it was from last year's stock? Is that true?
