    Great answer - my hunter hubby once bought a new gun for himself & said it was my Mother's Day gift - I thanked him & said, "Then if its mine, I can sell it, right?"

    Cute comeback! I guess you could call that "tit for tat", right?

    At the risk of being boring, my DH so thoroughly supports my hobby of vintage machine and fabric collecting and quilting that I have no need for a comeback. He has helped me purchase about 15 of the 20 machines that I own.

    I support his hobby of woodworking. I think I benefit more than he does. He often will build me a cabinet, a bookcase for my fabrics, a replacement treadle cabinet for a vintage machine whose cabinet fell apart, etc., whatever I need to help me out. His most recent creation to me was a lucite extension table for my Singer 301A. :-D

    He needs a big hug and a sincere thank you instead of any comebacks.

    But, if the situation were different there are legitimate retorts to throw, aren't there? :lol:

    my husband finally asked (about a month after I purchased a replacement machine for the 25 yr old one that gave out) how much a new machine cost nowdays. My reply "One years membership at the golf course." No further comment!

    My answer is always "It's cheaper than the boat"

    Hubby pressures me to buy sewing gadgets. He's a mechanic and has way too many tools he thinks he needs, so he thinks I need too many too!
