"I just read this to my hubby.. He wondered why you all would have to hide it??"
I'm with your husband. I don't get it either.
Disclaimer: I do not now have a husband, dear or otherwise. Once upon a time I did have one who thought because he worked outside the home and I stayed home to raise kids the money was all his. Can't imagine why we divorced.... And I still would never hide any purchase from him.
