Funny talk w the wife

My wife doesn't care about what goes on out in the garage, but always tells me that she is going to be lost if anything happens to me! She'll sell everything for pennies on the dollar because she doesn't really know what it is! She wants to help, and I would gladly allow her to, but she is too afraid to jump in and do things! She did spend a couple weeks with me scraping all of the undercoating off the bottom of her car, and spent her own money to rebuild the motor! I told her I would pay her if she blasts and paints items for me, or lists parts and packs and ships them! Hasn't happened yet!! Same for my son, he wants extra money, I give him emblems and trim, set up a profile here for him, doesn't do it, so I don't give him money!!!
