My FI has a certificate in culinary arts and is currently working on a food science degree so he LOVES to cook. And because of his experience and love, he wants to register for the good cooking ware (lasts longer, cooks better).
Insert problem: My mother!
My mom is not a big believer is spending money for the best (if the second best works and is cheaper, get it!). Although we haven't started registering when we go to a mall we walk through Macy's, William & Sonoma, Sur la Table, etc and just look and get ideas. Basically, I'm terrified that my mom is going to guilt trip me for us registering for the high quality kitchenware (even though we're going to have lower price points for bathroom and bedroom things so the price range is large).
Question: is it ok to register for the good quality kitchenware and how can I get my mom to either not guilt trip me or how to block her out?
