Quote From: teskalea18My husband is never, never home. Granted, he is out making money but still with three kids, 14, 10 and 8 who all have activities it is difficult and frustrating for me.
He referees football and basketball for middle, junior varsity, and varsity, that includes leages and YMCA among others. This is on top of his full time job, he leaves around 7:30 am and sometimes doesn't get home until well after 10pm. That is five days a week and then he is gone all day Saturday. During this I am shuttling boys to either football, baseball or basketball practice and dealing with my daughter's cheerleading schedule which includes weekends.
When he does happen to be home he is watching sports on television. Any sport, football, basketball, baseball, nascar, motocross, golf, you name it he watches it. Sometimes he has three other tvs in our bedroom along with our big screen watching different games at the same time. On a night he might actually have off he is dragging us to a football game or something else.
He drives me insane with all of this. I am a stay at home mom and we need the money but you would think that after all that work with sports, we would not have to watch every single sporting event that is televised.
I am the sports widow of the century!
Im the brother inlaw of a man that was never home to watch his 2 kids grow up because he was always working he had a stay at home wife and thats how they wanted there kids to grow up 1 girl 1 boy . Well now he regrets its and is have a hard time with his life he depressed and hes working 6 days a weeks some times 7 just so he can cover up the pain . WHY ! A year ago in oct he lost his son at 34young years just as they were getting along better to a IED IN IRAQ they were having a better father son life matt was gitting ready to come home get married start a familiy spend more time have fun hunting w/dad just doing the things dad and sons do now theres heart ack because he blames himself for not doing those things when they were kids ! There has been a bright side the daughter who was never going to have kids has had little boy who she has named after her brother and he is grandads boy and all the rest of the familiys .My point is spend every day as it is your last your not going to be able to make it up down the road no mater how hard you try.!!!!
