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

[Puppadore]

My wife is very understanding. Although she doesn't want me spending so much money on hobbies (i've got a bunch), she seems to be excited when I get them. Today I got my first PCP, and it seemed like she was more disappointed than I was when there was a dent on the gun. I'm very thankful that she gets excited at things that she doesn't know about, just because I get excited.

 

[L.Leon]

The wife knows… she just plays along for my sake.

 

[The Codger]

I don't hide them from her. When her packages are arriving she says " You Look Jealous".

I walk away thinking "just wait until tomorrow".

First.... Don't get married...........Me...
2nd......sent all gun related items to a friends house... preferred not married.... Me.....
But be creative with your excuses why you going over to said friend's house for the 3rd time in a week....

I don't, we decided that our various hobbies are what brings a sense of joy into our lives. So we let each other experience their own forms of hobbies. Life is way too short, worrying about nickels & dimes for a tomorrow, that you may never see friend.

UPS Hold At Location for the win! I pick them up and bring them into the house later. Perfect!

Wife has definitely been trying to save the marriage.
She gave me a bedroom for my gun room, had to get rid of a cherry bedroom set by Bob Timberlake. And I got to fill it. Definitely a keeper. And can cook like no other.
Some mornings I wake up grouchy……
Other morning I let her sleep in. Crow

I have been hearing that a lot lately ! many different subjects .

 

[beerthief]

wife and i have been married 52 years now . Retired and do what ever we want.

 

[cjtamu]

Don’t have to. Half the airgun packages are for her! Only ones I hide are when I’m surprising her with a present. If I can get her over her fear of PCP I’ll be hiding a Daystate Huntsman till Xmas.

If I have to hide things from my wife, I have bigger issues to resolve.
Thankfully, neither of us is unreasonable.

Although 100+ guns in less than 10 years might be pushing it.

 

[r1lover]

Actually, my wife understands they are an investment with more or less reasonable expectations on return, she just worries what she'll do with them if I kick the bucket!

 

[Yarddog]

Easy answer...I divorced her.

 

[Mike_V]

Oh, you mean today's early delivery . . .

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.
