How Do You Guys Keep Your Wife From Seeing All The Packages Arriving

I tell her the truth, she then kicks Marley and I out for a few days so we can go camping and hunting. Lol
Yeah, deceptive practices are not good for any relationship :unsure: .
The only other thing I've handled in this manner is painting or using anything with a chemical smell. It doesn't bother me at all, but she can smell the smallest indiscretion and worry about it's ill affects for days.
 
Do you mean to tell me that your don't shoot?

You need to find a wife who allows you to buy all your airgun/toys. If she doesn't she ain't the one. My wife didn't care when I bought my $1300 compressor, $500 tank, $2000 impact, $200 worth of ammo, $500 scope, and thousands into my other hobbies like rc cars, helicopter, etc. She even help me pay for most of them.
 
Wow, I somehow had missed this thread.
Just finished reading all seven pages of it.
Spectacular! 😆


You guys made me laugh so many times
(Thank you!!) — I finally had to explain to my wife why. 🤣

And then she said: "Don't you get any ideas!"
Because she knows what an airgun nut I am...! 😊

But she need not to worry. 👍🏼 We talk about major purchases. Or I sell stuff to buy other stuff.

I'd like to repost the photo from some time ago in this thread, I think it's outrageously hilarious:

Re-routing to the nearest ups or fed ex location and pick up and bring inside your house later. Works every time. Make sure all the packaging material is disposed of discreetly.

Christ on the cross, this man needs an underground murder bunker to hide his airgun toys.
 
I'm very grateful in saying that my wife is very understanding concerning my addiction because I've always been the bread winner in my home. I met her in the first grade in 1960 and she carried my clarinet in the fifth grade, we've been together for 49 years. I've learned in life that it pays to honest and it will cost you if you're not, so when they show up, as they always do, she's glad to see me happy.
I'm doing what this guy does...lol First of all you're never as clever as you think you are. Second, she's one step ahead of you pal lol.
 
Divorce fixed all those problems for me but shipping to your sons is a good idea. A little deceitful but it’s harmless and can save unnecessary grief.
Already applied!! My son's address is the one for the packages.

Now that our son's grew up and college tuitions are gone and I do not have to buy cars to my son's, I am giving her money so she can buy as I do.

For many years all money went to support the family, now is time for my wife an my self to feel a little more freedom.

It's pretty even at my house. I don't say anything about the cosmetic surgeries and the many other things she buys, and she doesn't say anything about my gun and airgun collection. We used to argue about motorcycles, but I would go and buy what I wanted anyway and she would get over it. lol.
BTW, any women that ever thought she was going to be my 2nd mother, never made it to the 2nd date anyway. lol
