Usually, I am the voice of reason, but, honestly, it isn't too bad. Dh is pretty good, too, he just sometimes wants all these electronic gadgets.

I am. If we did things my dh's way, we'd make all sorts of frivolous purchases. Cool purchases, but frivolous!

Most of the time, I'm the voice of reason but every once in awhile, dh has to speak up and rein me in!
