my mom hasn't worked since i was born. Does that mean i think i shouldn't get married because i wouldn't want a wife who would do the same? no it means i' have learned from my experience, and came to the conclusion that when i get married, i want my wife to work.

The conclusion is that they want to buy a bunch of **** that I don't. It would be unfair to ask them to pay for all of it since I would get utility from it--even if I don't want to own it enough to buy it myself. I would get dragged into paying for a bunch of crap I don't want.

my mom comes and buys 'stuff for the house' that is supposedly for 'the house' but no one cares about it except her.
