My dad always buys things online (things that are useless). He never asks me or my mom if we need such things, like a hanger or a knife, etc, but he just buys them. We've told him that we don't need such things. I really want to stop him from buying such things but my feelings are ambivalent. One on hand, those things are not needed. On the other, as he's getting older and I think it's not appropriate to stop him from doing what he wants. Besides, the things he buys are not expensive. I want to repsect him and let him do what he wants.
I wrote two sentences about that but I don't know if the red sentence is coherent and natural. Please help me with a better version.
My dad likes buying many fancy-looking gadgets that are ultimately useless. But as he's getting older, the thought of me preventing him from doing that breaks my heart.
