Stay-at-home mom wins $1000 jewelry store gift card and buys meaningful gold ring, sparks tension with husband after not selling it to fund truck repairs or family expenses: 'It’s not like we’re hurting for money'

This stay-at-home mom is being made to feel like a freeloader by her own husband! Just because they live in a single-income household, it doesn't mean everything she does for the children and around the house isn't valuable, and ultimately saves a lot of money! So it's not fair for her husband to throw 'it' in her face every time they disagree. This mother won a gift card of $1000 for a jewelry stop, so, like anyone would, she takes her gift card and purchases a beautiful gold ring that she plans to hand down to her children one day. Wholesome and not bank-breaking, right? 

Well, her husband, who spends thousands of dollars each year on golfing and boys' trips, seems to have a problem with this. He claims that she should have spent the money on "family expenses," aka, Callaway Clubs, or fixing their new truck. A truck that costs 6 figures and entailed no eye-blinking, yet this golden ring will be what destroys them financially…? We can completely acknowledge that he provides for his family, but he didn't even buy her the ring…and if he has such a big problem with how she spends her money? Why doesn't he insist on her getting a job? Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that he could actually enjoy being in financial control?
