What are you a widow to?!

After much discussion (moaning) to other females, I have come to the conclusion that with our husbands, we are all widows to something!

Its been bugging me lately as DH has been very busy getting his car ready for the Daybreaker rally that was on last weekend. He said he was going to take a break for a few weeks but guess what he was up to on Sunday, and every day since?! So I get to spend another night at home by myself. He says he would happily stay home and watch Hannah if I wanted to go out and do something, but what would I do? I was playing badminton, but too fat now.

Ah well, guess it gives me something to moan about. So everyone, make me feel better and tell what you are a widow to

In winter its Soccer (2 practise nights a week and game on saturday)
In summer its Cricket (2 practise nights per week, all day saturday -and normally all saturday night too and since Dh is on the committy hes out at meetings all the time)
Also it WAS his job as he is in IT and worked late hours. Hes started a new job and no overtime yet although he has been there just over a week and already done one night till 9pm so who said no overtime???

So yup I am a widow too

Lol used to be golf, now its cycling

For me, it's the opposite. I'm the one that ditches Tobin for my parenting forums

And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one guilty of it

Soccer at any time, day or night, not mentioning his own practice once a week and a game every Saturday!

and working. Owning his own business has its perks, but the hours he does are not one of them!

At the moment...Tauranga.... He has been down there for ages...

um, in our house it is me that disappears for training, leaving dh in charge of dinner, kidlets and often the start of bathtime, and a couple of hours at the weekend. all this while he is working hard finishing the house to get it on the market. he is wonderful!
but i have had my years of being a rugby widow (2 x practises, and all day saturday from lunchtime) this is a little bit of payback for me. (ooh, i have to be fair and say that he never left me with TWO kidlets though!)

AHA! he is going to be playing touch rugby this summer, so that will be thursday evenings... which he deserves as he doesnt have any downtime at all.

OH SHOOT! i am trying to feel agrieved and hard done by but it just isnt working!

stock-car/rally widow here too Aimmee. Next time there's a darn rally or motorsport event you should come over.. guarantee you Mike won't be here too.

Hey Janine I saw Mike on Saturday at stage 7 (just out from kimbolton) taking photos! My theory for the actual race day is to go and be part of it else you feel really left out and sit at home grumpy. Hannah also loves going to watch any car events so I am doomed Daniel is already talking about taking Han to speedway once the season starts

Makes me feel better knowing its not just me left at home all the time.
