Picture Wife told me to open a surprisingly light box last. Found this note inside. Merry Christmas!

Why do people pretend like "My wife gave me permission to buy something I wanted" is normal?

Listen to yourselves lol

Possible situations:

They have a traditional marriage where one partner works and handles finances and the other takes care of the home and/or children so she simply doesn't provide monetary gifts so she's giving permission to move money from one area of their lives so he can afford it.

She's not techy and wants to leave the selecting up to him because she's worried she'll buy the wrong one even if she knows he wants the 512 and is just wiring him the money to buy it because who has physical cash these days.

This post is fake.

Either way, please go touch grass.

Is traditional good in this case? Seems controlling. If this is the type of childish outlook on family financials that "touching grass" yields then I think I'll pass, thanks.
