Me too. That's one of my biggest peeves. My parents used to "let" me do things when I was a child.
I got in HUGE trouble once (I was 17) when I told my stepfather that I shouldn't have to ask permission to spend the money I earned myself. I was forced to apologize!
My DH is very nice about my hobbies, and he has his own. Sometimes he laughs at the number of vintage machines that are crowded into my tiny sewing room, but he bought the most recent featherweight for me as an early birthday present!
We are now a one-income family since I have been unable to work at a paying job, but DH reminds me that his $$ is "ours." Sometimes I feel guilty about spending for my hobby, since I am no longer working, but DH doesn't complain. He's a keeper.
