This is so true and you can't go cheap on shampoo/conditions with their delicate skin and their precious hair.
In general, my husband and I have taken up the military motto of "Don't ask; don't tell". It has saved our marriage! If hubby ever threw out the "it's me or the dog", I would be more than happy to go out and buy him a very nice set of luggage.
