OK, so my long arm has to pay for itself-why doesn't his boat?

Dexx, I love it that we have a man on here who is in the same boat as the majority of women.
My husband supports my quilting habit to a certain degree, but he still likes it that I make a little money LAing for others.
I honestly don't know why women feel that they have to justify their needs and wants, but we do. I think that it is an inbred trait that we need to get over. The older I get the more I am over it!! Hubby has so many tools that he never uses and that's fine...just don't gripe when I buy what I want.

You can have your toys without having to make money from them. Just buy them. When he wants to know how you will pay for them, just give him what my kids call 'the look of death'. That'll scare him away.

Give a man a boat and he'll sit in the sun and drink beer all day. Give a woman a LA and she'll earn money. Something's wrong somewhere. Give a woman a LA AND a beer and you solved the problem of how to FMQ! LOL

My DH spends a MINIMUM of 500.00 a month on his hobbies. I don't even ask for his opinion about purchases for my hobby and I certainly won't be turning my hobby into a cash cow.
I wouldn't confront him out of the blue and blindside him with your feelings. However, the next time he brings it up, say exactly what you told us. Tell him to think about what you've said while he is cooking dinner because you have to keep practicing your quilting.
