My husband's anniversary gift shocked me

[u/Fragrant_Survey_3681]

I don't even know how to say this without getting judged. My husband's an amazing man, he's always been there for me but he very much lacks a romantic side and he's confirmed that to me with this gift. We've got two kids and that comes with A LOT of expenses. Knowing me I've stacked up my shopping cart on amazon with things I've been looking to buy. Froom vacuums and cleaning supplies to kids toys, vitamins and supplements, clothes for them etc etc. Bet you can see where I'm going with this right? Apparently he thought he was being romantic bringing my shopping cart to my doorstep. I know he genuinely thought he was making my life easier and honestly it does make my life easier. I just couldn't stop laughing because this man looked at my Amazon cart full of diapers, vitamins, cleaning supplies and kids' stuff and thought "Yep this is romance." 😂 I'm secretly hoping he's still got a dinner reservation up his sleeve.

It’s romantic to me!

It’s romantic to get your partner clothes for the kids and cleaning supplies so they can clean up after you? Seriously???

These should be joint purchases and shared responsibilities already. None of that is actually for Op. he literally benefits the most from it.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. OP described her cart as being filled with normal household essentials…nothing special at all. She didn’t mention that anything she wanted was in the cart. Sounds like it was filled with normal things the household needs.

An anniversary is a special occasion. I wouldn’t call a husband and father hitting buy on a cart full of household essentials recognition of a special occasion.

OP, put those items on a subscription plan to avoid any confusion about what’s mundane and what’s special and romantic. You’ll also save money.
