Many will say that since she pays the bills (or whoever does) and you don't, she can do whatever she wants. Legally, she can. That doesn't necessarily mean she's not being an ass about it and is justified in being an ass about it.

However, what I don't get is why these things annoy you. She buys new things consistently and makes intelligent choices, but you seem to be upset about it. I could see if she made extreme decisions, but all of the things you mentioned sound pretty inconsequential to me. I'd kill to have a new stove in our house; ours is about as old as I am. I wouldn't expect my mother to consult the family and ask for our permission to get a new stove, as it doesn't concern me so long as it produces enough heat to fry and bake food.

Can you explain why you're getting upset over such little things? New fridge not as spacious as the last?
