My son came up to my in a panic today. "Dad...I need your help!" I was cutting the grass at the time, so I flipped off the mower and walked over to the door to see what was up.

"My XBox won't start anymore!" I went over to take a look, and sure enough, it's got a red light that shows up when it starts (this is the old XBox version). I told him it looks like it's dead. The look on his face broke my heart.

Anyway, I whispered in my wife's ear as I was leaving for work that I was going to pick him up an Xbox 360. She said "OK", and I left for work. Once at work, I checked my mailbox and saw I got some 10% off coupons for Best Buy + I have some Reward Zone cash stored up, so I ran over and picked up the Xbox 360 and some games (totalled about $500 + 6 mos. same as cash).

I called my wife to tell her, and now she's ticked that I spent $500 without telling her. WTF??? I DID tell her! I'm in trouble because I tried to do something nice!

One of these days I'm going to have to get one of those marriage manuals to see how the heck these things are supposed to work, because I'm not doing it right.

manuels are useless, dont you know that they are rewritten every 37 seconds
 
She probably didn't know an Xbox 360 was so expensive. She might not have thrown a fuss if you bought a used one for under $200...?

Nonetheless, you did tell her and don't worry....finances are the number one thing that married couples argue about.

Actually, my son is an amazing child and I like to reward him. He doesn't get big ticket items all the time, maybe Christmas and his birthday. Anyway, he's got astagmus (a disorder where your eyes bounce back and forth uncontrollably). He's 8, and has found a way to tilt his head of overcome this problem- all the doctors said he would be learning disabled because of the disorder. Screw them- He's reading at a 5th grade level, can do multiplication and division in his head, and is the most caring little kid I've ever met. He LOVES soccer, and one of his favorite things to do is to copy the players moves he sees on FIFA Soccer 2005. He was really upset when he realized he couldn't do this anymore did one of those "hold it in" cries. It just broke my heart 🙁

If he was a little selfish brat, I would have told him "oh well, tough luck," but he's genuinely a great kid and deserves a nice suprise once in a while.

You do realize they extended the warranty of the 360s to 3 years to cover the RRoD, right?

**UPDATE** She told me to return it- we're getting him a swing set instead. *sigh*, mark it up to another case of "do what I'm told, not what I want to do."

Do you guys keep any separate discretionary spending accounts, where you can spend the money on "fun" stuff without having to justify it to each other?
