If you really think that maybe he's jealous that he works and you "don't", then maybe you could get a "job", you wouldn't have the time to sew/quilt while he's at work, but the money would be YOURS for your quilting. As for your daughter sewing/quilting, does she have a job or is she in college? I would give her the same advice, maybe what he's jealous or resentful of, is the expense. See if you can interest him in some kind of hobby, wood working, painting, whatever, because as far as I'm concerned watching TV is a total waste of time.
