With two days in the weekend, and several kids and a wife who need attention, spending a day on the golf course just wasn't his priority - thank God.
He picked up other hobbies, tennis, and running, which took up smaller chunks of time. :)
For all the bitching about women on this board, in my community, so many women are golf widows that the weekend is "me-time" for them. Mom and the kids, anyway.
If kids are that much trouble, put them up for adoption. You can sleep all you want when they are gone.
Obviously, golf is a hot button for you. Golf was really not the issue.
For the sake of brevity, I left out part of the conversation. This was not to be a temporary situation. He was to give up ALL weekend activities for the foreseable future. No other hobbies, regardless of the time required. No running, no tennis, nothing. The wife was going to use the time to go to the mall and visit with friends. The weekends were to be her time away from the baby.
He would work all week and mind the baby on the weekends. She would mind the baby all week and have the weekends off, so to speak. I really thought there might just possibly be a more equitable allocation of time. Some time for her, some time for him.
