DH said to me yesterday that he is thinking of quitting shooting and hanging up his gun. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm not sure if DH is really serious about giving up.
We are neither of us massively into the sporting life. It was fine when we didn't have kids, and we have had some great weekends. But then when the DC were little it was always that thing of waiting for Daddy to come in, or standing at the peg being cold or trying to keep the DC entertained. Now our DC are older, they have their own sports to do at the weekends, and we need family time/taxiing them around time.
Plus, there's the unspoken but utterly permeating sexism of field sports in general.
But, but, but... DH's family have been big field sports folk for generations and we have lots of friends who socialise like this in a big way. We have two DSs who may want to do this and I sort of feel if we drop out now we will lose that cultural attachment.
AIBU to thing field sports and family life just aren't that compatible?
