Planning is worthless. No matter what I do.

[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 372227, member: 4264"] I'd be peeved as well. I hope you two can talk about it and figure out how to stop it from reoccuring. Perhaps he doesn't understand that it feels a big Beeeeep when he does it? Some men just don't get it. Sometimes it is just a matter of they really did think they were helping. Only then they end up in the dog house because that kind of "help" wasn't actually helpful. I think its more likely to cheese a woman off when things are tight financially. Oddly I went through something kind of similar earlier today and it is unusual for around here. S/O pretty much lets me do my thing with finances and is one of those guys who says do we have money for such and such, or can we afford xyz. He doesn't buy things without asking, other than a cup of coffee or the odd small tool (inexpensive) that he really needs for work or whatever. This morning though we had a bit of butting heads. I was glad later on that I didn't throw a total fit. I did however end up in tears which shocked me. I didn't know i was so stressed about money but I was apparently. Strung tight actually. Who knew? He and I certainly knew when the tears flew. All I could say while he stared, shocked at me of all people bursting into tears? I wish you could understand how hard it is to juggle everything and finances especially, and sometimes like today, theres no wiggle room and I can't handle deviating from it because I can't handle trying AGAIN to make sure we can meet all needs on even LESS money. He got it. Gave me a big hug. He came up with "the fix" and then he headed out by himself (still out) to pick up stuff from my list. Lucky for me, I know he will come home with exactly that list and nothing more, nothing less. Planning isnt' worthless, if you weren't doing all that planning you and your family would be in a worse predicament. I hope that your husband can understand that when you build those recipes it is based on sales, tastes in the house etc and that surviving and being less stressed depends on following through with what you've planned.
