[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound like a peach. Just be lucky you found someone who puts up with your bad attitude. Wife's crafting is the least of your worries. You need a new personality. [/quote]

No, OP sounds normal and it's the wife that has a problem. I am sure she is not working if this is how she's spending all her time. [/quote]

I do wonder what is it with women and crafting though? And sorry to say but 99% of the stuff is junk. When men do crafts, they make items with utility like tables, woodwork...women just glue pieces of paper together and clutter the house. I’m a woman and I’m so embarrassed to be associated with such an insipid activity.[/quote]

Sexist much? And much of the “men’s woodwork” is absolutely ugly and poorly made.

Personally I do woodworking, papercrafts (origami/ scherenschnitte), sewing (curtains/ pillows/ masks), garden and cook.  Oh and I also have advanced degrees, a full-time job, and kids with special needs.  I was fortunate that my parents thought developing interests was important.  And my DH also has his hobbies- restoring old cars and bikes. Our kids benefit because they get to be creative- they are more gifted in drawing and painting. Plus they see their parents trying new things.

My DH and I took a woodworking project class together and it was a really fun date night.  He was surprised how much he liked having a finished product at the end of class.

You don’t have a Michael’s problem- you have a budget and/or marriage problem.
