Those of you whose DHs have time consuming hobbies, how do you manage thongs so that a fair amount of time is spent on it without compromising family time?

DH likes to restore classic cars. Ideally he'd like to spend all his time on it, which clearly isn't fair on me or our 2 kids.

I thought we'd agreed to one day at the weekend and 2 or 3 nights a week as long as I get to go to my exercise class twice a week.

Anyway, last weekend we spent all weekend at a car show. This weekend dd and I were I'll with a d and v bug, so I was a bit grumpy that dh was going to do car stuff. He went out to get steel in the morning came back with lunch and then went to his workshop for the rest of the afternoon, coming back at 8pm.

The next day I was worse, running to loo every 5 mins. DH wanted to go to his workshop again. I said no and we had a row because he him bringing us lunch apparently negated the while day for him on the Saturday, and we were sitting around doing nothing apparently so he would be better spending time on his cars. Afaiwc we were spending time as a family and he was looking after kids while I was I'll.

Wibu? How shoul I have managed this better?
