DH said last year he wanted ti learn guitar. Got him one for our anniversary and he's done well self-teaching, practices maybe half an hour or so a day.
A couple of weeks ago I spotted our local colleges doing 10 x 2 hour lessons once a week for £50. Couldn't really afford it but I pointed it out to him and we re-arranged the budget so he could enrol. All well and good..
The lessons start next week and he's gone practising crazy. Last night he spent about 3 hours twanging away in the middle room (I'd not seen him all day as I'd been in work, he was off with DS as business is cripplingly bad for him at the minute).
Today he's phoned up to tell me there's an open evening at the college so he's going along at 6pm (I get in about 5:15), then going to his last driving lesson of the day 7-8 and will be home about 8:30 and will do another 'hour or so practice' after we've eaten.
I'm knackered not sleeping worrying about money so will be ready for bed about 10 so I'll have hardly seen him all day.
I know he's excited about the lessons (and is a bit worried everyone will be better than him even though he's going in the one-class-up from 'complete beginner' but am I being unreasonable to hope that he'd want to spend some time together in the evening after DS has gone to bed?
I've mentioned it and he says he'll practice in the same room if I want, but that's not time together really. It's me listening to him strumming and not talking cos he's concentrating.
Half an hour - 1 hour a night I could cope with - but 3?
Rant over - please feel free to tell me I am being a cow
