My elderly mother lives with me and I take care of her. I do a lot of online shopping. Now my mother is a little hard of hearing, but wouldn't't you know she always hears the doorbell! She'll say "did you get a package", I'll say no! I find I sneak things into my room when she's not looking! Fess up do you hide your purchases from your family?

Re: Do You Hide Your Purchases

I can't think of one reason for me to hide any of my purchases.  I earned it.

Only if it's a gift for one of them.

Re: Do You Hide Your Purchases

As Jaxx's mom posted, if it's for one of my family..

..or I'm putting together a room and I haven't gotten everything together.  When i did the guest bathroom, I ordered switchplate covers, I "hid them" until I had received all the other things I bought .

I never felt I had to.  My DH trusts me and knows what a great shopper I am.  Besides I never purchase big items, we do it together almost always.  I don't run up bills for sure.

Re: Do You Hide Your Purchases

No.  Many of my purchases these days are things I order from Amazon and are just ordinary purchases that I might make at the market or drugstore if I had more time to shop.

 

When the holidays roll around, I do have many more special gifts coming my way...but again...these are things I'd have to go out and buy, anyway.

@Jordan2 Why do you want to hide your purchases? Do you use your own money to buy products? If so, why would your Mother care what you buy?

 

I really don't understand.
