My DH plays cricket as a hobby and everything is at the beck and call of the game now the season started. Aibu to think that it's rubbish he spends one full day of the weekend playing plus training one to two evenings during the week??! We've got a 5 year old and I'd like there to be more family time

Surrendering to cricket gave me The Best friends I have ever known! We all play now. Get that kid signed up for All Stars and find your training night Gin and Tonic mums! If I said more it would be outing, but it’s a great tribe to be part of.

YANBU. It’s every single Saturday, all day and most of the evening- from April to September. It’s such a pain (to put it mildly)

There's usually a great social element to cricket. Could you and the little 'un cheer on daddy when he's playing? Give it a chance?
