Confession

I just bought myself a Kindle. I rationalized it to my husband by saying I'm going to be up late BFing so it would be nice to have something I can read and hold with one hand.

I don't know why I feel guilty about it... I used to buy whatever I wanted for myself all the time!

I rationalize my buys to DH by reminding him I'm carrying his baby. It works 99% of the time. Haha.

DH bought me one for Christmas because he was tired of seeing all the stacks of books all over the place! It was doing him a favor by getting me one!

I always feel the need to rationalize a purchase to my DH anymore....maybe its because we only have his income. Not really though because even when I worked over the holidays I had to rationalize a purchase with him. I dont get it I never felt guilty about buying anything before we had a baby.

And its not like he ever discusses a purchase with me before he buys it! I think its mommy guilt or something....I have to rationalize buying a nursing bra and a robe and slippers for the hospital too!

I think it comes with being a mom. Ever since we had DS I procrastinate about purchases and I also feel guilty after purcaseing something for myself. SO always says "you need blank, your not wasting money" but it's hard to buy somthing if I need it or not.

Don't feel bad! DH got me one in November for my birthday! 'm sure your H would want you to keep yourself entertained.

Don't feel guilty... it's totally worth the money! I promise! I LOVE my Kindle!

I have been trying so hard not to buy one! I'm the kind of reader who prefers the feel of an actual book in her hands. But, I am pretty much officially out of places to put books now Crying

. And, I just started a new series, so I think I may have to cave and just get one eventually. MH (who is not a reader at all) has been wanting to get one for some time now. I think it might be worth it if it gets him to read more. But, I just have this sneaking suspicion that it will be one of those things that is super cool and totally fun at first, but will eventually wear out its' amusement and be forgotten. But, I also know how he is with his toys.

I wouldn't feel guilty either. Hope you enjoy it!

me too! It was the other way around for us though. It was DH who thought I had too many books lying around the house and no place to put them though so he thought the Kindle was the way to go!

I'm curious as to what series you're reading! Care to share?

Thanks for making me feel better ladies. I guess the guilt is just comes with the territory!

We bought two new bookcases for the guest room and I already filled them... and I use paperbackswap so it's not like I just keep them all!
