dman2900 Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Ok, anyone have any sugestions on how to keep the wife from opeining everyting you buy? Out of the stuff I bought this week my wife wants to open a bunch of it and I keep telling her NO. She keeps saying "Wouldn't it be a shame if you came home and found the box ripped open!" How do I keep the wife from playing with my stuff!!!!!!!! Quote
Veegs Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Easy, buy multiples of everything! Then you can sell the extras to pay for the wife's builds Quote
MartinP Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Easy, buy multiples of everything! Then you can sell the extras to pay for the wife's builds That is what I would do. You could also put the rest of the sets somewhere in a locked room or something like that to prevent any sets from being opened. Quote
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 yup Veegs is right you'll have to buy one for her for every set you want to invest in. just part of the game and keeping them happy. if you don't you may see another BPer posting about what a deal they got off some lady Quote

Alpinemaps Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 How do I keep the wife from playing with my stuff!!!!!!!! I rather like it when my wife plays with my stuff. Quote
Alpinemaps Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 In all seriousness, I have this problem with my daughter, too. My investment strategy is to buy enough that when I sell, it covers the stuff we want to play with. Quote
TheDarkness Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I can't answer this with a straight face. It did make it rather difficult to keep the response at a PG level Quote

@rtisan Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Captain Jack would like to propose that you go out and get yourself a second wife. That way you can store your investments in such a manor that your first wife will not be able to distinguish that you have in fact gotten yourself a second wife with which you are now able to store your prized possessions. Then whilst she is left to wonder why in fact it is that there are no longer invests lying about with which she can express her most sincerest form of "opening-assemblying", they, the investments, will be safe with the second wife with whom you had previously endeavoured to obtain.

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Easy...keep your investment sets at your girlfriend's house. Your wife will never find them there. And if she does, something tells me you wont have to worry about her nagging you about that anymore! Quote
TheOrcKing Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Ok, anyone have any sugestions on how to keep the wife from opeining everyting you buy? Out of the stuff I bought this week my wife wants to open a bunch of it and I keep telling her NO. She keeps saying "Wouldn't it be a shame if you came home and found the box ripped open!" How do I keep the wife from playing with my stuff!!!!!!!! This must be the first time a guy actually complained about his wife wanting to play with his stuff. Be grateful she is into Lego and doesn't call it 'childish' and 'immature'. Well anyway, the only way I can figure is either you purchase more than one of any set, find a way to lock your investments in a room of storage, or threaten to spank her like a redheaded stepchild for every investment she tears open. ....Wait, that last part might just make things worse. Nevermind. :whistle: Quote

How do I keep the wife from playing with my stuff!!!!!!!! hmm, never had that problem. usually my wife rolls her eyes and says "do we really need more legos?" but then again she has no desire to build with legos.

Alcarin Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Thank God I dont have a wife.... and gf has 0 words at the matter lol Quote
Doofy McGee Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Start building a dungeon out of Legos, and threaten to keep your wife in it if she can't respect your Lego investing boundaries. Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Have affairs with a couple of mistresses and.... Bingo, two more attics to store your stash! Quote
