| Avery:
In general, my wife is HIGHLY supportive of my tool habbit, and OK with my computer and arcade game habbit. What drew a low WAV (thank you whoever coined that) was when I came home with an emptied out Defender cab. While it was only 5 miles out of my way to pick it up and $10, the idea that I now had two empty video game cabs soaking up perfectly good house volume did not sit well with her. |

I think it's just a matter of respect to confer with a spouse on any major expense or project. |

My wife would really like it if I didn't cut and drill inside the house. USUALLY I get it all cleaned back up before she gets home, and she thanks me for vacuuming. ;D |

I have the cabinet downstairs away from the main living/entertaining/eating areas. So if I play it I kind of disappear for a few minutes/hours. My missus refers to it as "the other woman". :) But then again, she also says that of my work, dog, computer, or any other woodwork projects, or anything that takes my attention away from her for more than 30 seconds. I've told her instead of nagging me about it, she should possibly get her own hobbies (and not ones that involve me sitting next to her bored while she watches E.R.). But I don't think the suggestions are getting through. But other than the odd pouting session, she is "silently supportive". When mates come over to play or tinker, she just lets us be for a few hours. For that much, I am verbally thankful to her. I don't spend excessive amounts on the hobby, and definitely spend 100 times as much time with our daughter than I do anything inanimate, so I think she sees the bright side of the situation. :) |
