Hi,
I have been snooping round here for a while but this is my first post. Am looking for some advice. We are married a year, I have a Daughter from previous relationship (7 years old) and together we have a three month old baby.
Hubby has a hobby with a group in the area. He attends meetings at least 1 - 2 nights a week, from 8pm-10.30pm. Sometimes this can be more than 2 nights e.g this weekend is a full weekend of it, and as the year goes on he will need to spend quite a few Sunday's at this hobby too.
So now there is a (completely different) committee that my MIL is involved in, and he also wants to join it. This would mean at least one more night a week, and some weeks more. I have put my foot down, asked, pleaded and fought about it and told him it is just not on. IMO he has enough on his plate with first hobby and his family, without taking on more, and being away several nights a week.
(Some background info: There is no love lost between myself and my MIL. She ruined my wedding day, and has to involve herself in every decision hubby makes [this is more his fault I guess than hers]. I spend my days feeling that I am in second place to her.). So to summarise (what has turned into a long and boring piece ) - do you think I am wrong to try and prevent him from doing this, or am I just being nasty because it is involving his mother?
Apologies for this turning into a rant, and I hope I will contribute something better to this site when I get used to it!
