My husband has a hobby which he is very passionate about. It is all consuming. From magazines, TV, how he spends his weekends, conversation. Everything.
He's always been like this and I've been fine and actually found it quite endearing.
He also sees his Dad and brothers regularly who share this passion.
We have 2 sons who are 10 and 8 and they have also been sucked in.
On the one hand it's lovely that they have something in common and spend so much time together but on the other, I feel pushed out.
I don't want to spend my weekends doing this but if I don't, I never see them!
I also feel like my interests, and the opportunity for me to pass those onto my children is also being pushed out.
One of my BIL is encouraging son1 to take it more seriously, which we can't because we can't afford it and I don't want to devote the time.
Quite frankly I'd rather he got his homework done then went out on his bike.
How do I get things back on an even keel without everyone calling me a spoilsport.
However endearing.
