Women

[Matt J]

Apparently, she would have preferred that I just sat and did nothing

My ex was the same with added '..sit and do nothing AND watch Eastenders'.

As a consequence I really appreciate my second wife and spoil her rotten.

facials once a month that cost £70.
hair appointments cost £120.
(all for my benefit...)

I spend what I like on my hobby but as I paint so slowly it's rarely more than £20-£30 a month.

[Fenton]

No problems here either

I sit and paint

She sits and crochets or does pottery designs

We listen to audiobooks

We are happy

[DanJ]

Paining figures?

Most certainly, if the little buggers don't put up a decent fight then it's off the painting table and onto the paining table

Is the paining table where the so called 'conversions' happen?

I recently had to put a second level clothes rail in the Mrs Wardrobe, it's already bowing with the wieght, so she doesn't bother me much. When we are skint I buy at the same rate I paint, so that keeps the value of orders down although I do pay a few quid more for postage. I also find being payed for painting commissions keeps her smiling, she's a good egg, so mustn't grumble too much!

Mine is a crafter, mostly cross stitch, crotchet and knitting, so trips to hobbycraft are a dangerous dangerous time for this family. Same with bookstores and anywhere selling boardgames.

Everything has been great since I attended that "How to hypnotise" course.

When I hear my female friends complain about what THEIR husbands do, I just wish they would have a chat with my wife.

[Hertsblue]

My wife is a modeller (and somewhat better than me) who specialises in dolls houses. Now, if only I could get her to paint figures....

[Matt J]

My wife is an artists and thinks 'if only I can get him to paint pictures'

[Bodvoc]

My wife once painted up a whole batch of 15mm figures for me but complained it gave her a headache. Now, there is a reason I don't the wife having a headache...!

[FierceKitty]

Now, there is a reason I don't the wife having a headache...!

WTF?

[Last Hussar]

WTF?

She steals his paracetamol, so there is none left for hangovers.

[FierceKitty]

That's like translating Karen into Arapho. I'm still bewildered.

[Westmarcher]

Reminds me of a sketch featuring the late Rikki Fulton (Scottish actor/comedian). Wife is in bed and he brings her an aspirin and a glass of water.
She says, "What's that for?"
"For your headache." Rikki replied.
"But I don't have a headache."
Rubbing his hands, he jumps into bed - "Ya beauty!!!!"
