Isn't the registry supposed to be fun?

My FI and I started doing our registry together, but we have to do it online since he's in England. I use skype and they have a screen sharing program that allows him to see everything I'm doing on my screen, so that's how we pick things out together. But he's so....dumb. If I want a cute monkey shaped potato peeler, he says "I'm just going to be so mad if someone spends $15 on a stupid potato peeler instead of something else we need" and if I say something he wants to add is too expensive (such as the $130 electric toothbrush he wanted to put on there) he gets mad and says "I don't want something crap." Grrrrr. And the WORST part was this:
me: "Ooooh, lets register for a Crock Pot!"
him: "Why? We don't need one."
me: "We're not going to live with my parents forever honey..."
him: "And I also don't want an apartment full of junk we're not going to use for years."
(ten minutes later)
him:"Oh, I know. Let's register for that thing your dad makes his pot roasts in."
me:"Oh, you mean a CROCK POT?!?!"
Like, why is he telling me he doesn't want to register for something when he doesn't even know what it is? Grrr. On top of all of that, the program we're using made my computer really slow and the website was going really slow, so I ended up with the biggest headache imaginable and a cranky FI. So now we've decided that I'm doing the registry by myself <_<.

    Ahahahah!  Sorry that is at the crock pot bit :)

    Sorry it is ending up so stressful.  Maybe it will be better now that you're doing it yourself.  TBH you probably have a better idea about what you guys need anyways, men don't really think about that stuff for the most part :)

    I had to laugh at the crockpot dilemma. (Sorry)

    I have been advised to put some expensive things on the registry, because, who knows. Some folks will surprise you and give them.

    Oh, and I have one of those electric toothbrushes (my dentist recommendeds them to everyone) and they really are worth the money.
