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.

Ive asked my hubby why his airplanes dont pay for themselves, as well as his boat, his golf clubs, his computer games etc etc
He has stopped asking me about my longarm LOL

Didn't you know those are necessities? The rods I mean. LOL

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.

I don't know. Let me know when you find out.

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

I have a long-arm and I don't intend to quilt for other people. I wanted it just for me. I figure it is no different that his woodworking tools that are in the garage.

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.

You're preaching to the choir sister....although my hunny spoils me rotten...lol
