Keeping The Wife Happy, Busy And Productive

Featured Replies

We live in Australia and the wife keeps herself busy selling things on eBay.

On top of this I started her in the local weekend market and she absolutely loves it!

Both eBay and the markets keep her busy and productive and she makes her own money.

How does your wife keep herself busy?

"In Thailand my wife was forever buying and selling things on Sanook.

When we lived in Dubai she found a similar site called sook (or something like that) and she did the same thing.

But when we moved back to Australia last year she found EBay and she has since become completely obsessed with it.

She spends about 80% of her waking day online or packing and sending products she has sold.

Now don't get me wrong, I am happy she has found a business that keeps her busy but I feel she is going too far with it. It has completely taken over her life!

She has found a market for a particular product and it has gone through the roof. She has opened an EBay shop and she is making a lot of money. It's a booming success!

The problem is it is taking far too much of her time and I can see that a lot of this time is taken up just surfing the site looking for that "bargain" that Thais just can't seem to resist. It really has become an obsession.

I don't mind if it was only about her business but honestly, the junk she buys I would't even pick up off the street. But she loves it!

I am waiting for the novilty to ware off but her obsession just seems to be getting worst.

In 2 mths we will be moving back to Thailand and she is allready making plans to run her business from home.

I have heard about people being addicted to EBay and now I am married to one sad.gif

Am I over reacting or is this EBay thing a real problem?"

Seems you learned to live with it after all Bob :)

The way I see it mate is that your wife could be at work for 8hrs a day doing something she don't like.

Maybe it will all change when you move back to LOS.

If she's making money I would leave her to it.

I mean, what would you do if you had to deal with her for that amount of time every day!!!!! :)

mine keeps busy eating and eating and eating

Only three meals a day? Obviously she's not from Thailand then. :)

hey zzaa09, I would like your avatar to meet mine sometimes .... is that cool with you???

zzaa09's avatar is engaging. tiptip, your avatar is just plain ANNOYING!

Back on topic, my wife is up at 3 am gathering mushrooms, then MiL comes in from the land mid-morning with fresh veggies and fish. The afternoon is spent cooking something pretty tasty with SiL and then she heads out around 5pm with a couple of huge baskets of said "today's special" in lots of plastic bags and usually sells the lot around the moobahn in less than an hour. The money is a 3-way split between the 'girls'.

In between times, she gives me hugs and kisses and makes sure I am not teaching our wee boy any bad words.

Let the mods know. Some seem to have a problem with it.

Mine works full time. This would be an interesting poll. Reckon the majority are home-makers, if my mates are anything to go by.

My Girl is worth to much to get a meager paycheck. She puts in a full day with me taking care of the plants & fruit trees - not to mention hand washing all the clothes & making dinner & lunch. :)

Mine makes 'inflammatory and nonsensical posts'

Mine works full time too.(Thai full time,of course)

She has a good salary,for Thai standards,totally spent 5 days after the paycheck.

But it gives her the right to a maid,and an excuse for not even knowing how to boil the reis.

Welcome to Thailand. :)
