Sorry--this just really bothers me and gets me on my soapbox! Don't mean to offend anyone.
I agree - while I have brought in fabric and not told him about it and he makes fun of me because I will have him taking packages to mail and hes picking more up at the door!!! He doesnt really ask how much - I had a sale about a year ago and made enough to pay off my embroidery machine before I got charged interest on it so he was very happy. He buys what he wants for his tools and lawn mowers etc. I keep the books (he shows no interest in that at all - tried it once in case something would happen to me but he said he would figure it out then lol)
If I do sneak things in its mostly because I am a bit embarrassed that I am hoarding again lol not that he cares much.
