That gets me riled up Becca.
Kids come first. I would use a sling shot before I would buy a $700 gun to hunt for food? No it's (hunting) a hobby, an ego boosting thing for some people. Don't buy the food line. You are right. Your H's priorities are wrong. Kids, wife, bills come first.
While I was going to college and living on an insurance disability income, I gave some money ($20?) to a couple of female students that had kids. The gal in a class I had, said she drank coffee most of the day because she had little money for food. She said she had to get through the credit hours required in a limited time frame. She was taking 22 to 24 credits per quarter while most students had 16 credit hours to deal with.

I agree with you.
My situation 3 cook stoves, 4 or 5 refrigerators, 3 dish washers, 3 freezers, 4 or 5 washing machines, 3 dryers, 5 or 6 beds, 3 living room sets, several stereo sets, 4 kitchen-aid type mixers, and many, many pot and pan sets-depending on what is trendy. Right now we have 5 color TV's and 2 portable B&W. I am not bragging, just enumerating on how out of control the buying has been.
Earlier I said "nothing we bought" prior to BB's working and inheritance, is left. Correction, the dining room set and 2 end tables are here.

Availability, That is the problem now.
Quote: I probably would too.
For a while you would. I think it is somewhat normal. Wouldn't you say enough is enough some day?
To all. I post alot about money because it is a measurable thing. I had a job where there was no place for writing about any feelings. Everything had to be measurable. Put one feeling or say something like a kid was depressed (medical term were verboden unless you were a DR). Money is measurable. How many times something happened is measurable. That is many of my post contain quanity referances.
