This is exactly how I feel. Even my partner was only able to convince me to buy a Nappy Bag when I said it could be my Mother's Day gift. I don't even really feel comfortable buying things for DD -- I wanted a sling for when I do quick trips to the supermarket, previously I have just been holding her and the basket and trying to make it work. It really is something we could use/need and we can afford it easily but I feel so guilty still -- my partner had to order it while I was sleeping because I refused to let him buy it.
It just doesn't feel like the money is ours and it is hard going from having my own job and source of income to relying on his. I know I am providing by taking care of our newborn but I just have a lot of trouble with it all still.
