Husband has a very absorbing hobby, he is obsessed with (gets plenty of time to do his hobby). Yesterday, I had to forcefully insist that he participated in a 'family day' (youngest DC had asked if we could do something together as a family). Husband had been very noncommital about participating.
He didn't argue, we went and did our family thing had a good time, everyone enjoyed it. We got back home after a few hours out and all drifted off to our own thing; because one of the DC and myself wanted to go online, he disconnected the modem (which he bought) and refused to let us go online as it was apparently a 'family day' and in his words, he 'wasn't going to have us surfing when it was a 'family day'.'
Is he being unreasonable or not? He reinstated the modem late last night and I haven't seen him today as he's on nights so had left when I got home from work.
I feel aggrieved on several counts:
I rarely pressure him to spend time doing family stuff, so felt he could have put his hobby to one side for an afternoon.
I pay the internet connection bill, so feel miffed about this too!
And finally, what kind of example does this set to impressionable teens? If they did the 'it's mine so you are not using it' thing, I'd be telling them where they were going wrong!
Still feeling cross 24hrs later and will have to tackle this tomorrow.
