A husband question
Do you think any of your husband's hobbies are stupid?
Do you demand he not do something because you think it's stupid?
I ask because an old friend from college went off about fantasy football today and how if your husband or boyfriend plays fantasy football, you need a new husband or boyfriend. She's single....
MH plays fantasy football. I'm not a huge fan of it, but if it makes him happy who cares?
Re: A husband question
Well, I don't understand playing computer games for hours on end...and a lot of times I think it's a waste of time...not sure if it's "stupid" though. The only time I've "demanded" that he not play them is when I'm trying to have a serious conversation with him...the kind of conversation that can't wait the ~10 mins or so till he's done with that match. He's never gotten upset over it though.
I do absolutely hate it though when he's playing to waste time till I'm done getting ready to go somewhere and totally forgets that he's not completely ready to leave too. We end up being late to so many things because of this.
ETA: The other night he was playing and told me he really wanted to finish the game (about 6 mins) before we went to bed even though it was pretty late already (11.30 or so). I went into the kitchen to get water and saw the cat playing with a huge scoprion...he still left his game to come rescue me...I have to admit, I was surprised he even heard me scream.

DH plays fantasy football too and I really don't care. There have been a couple of times he was like OH CRAP, THE DRAFT!!!! and dropped what he was doing to "take care of it". I really don't care either way.
He also plays golf, which will bug me once in awhile because I'll want to go out when he get's back and he is usually really tired. OR he's so tired, I'm stuck watching David by myself while trying to make dinner.
Greg is a Fantasy Football nut. (He's also big into a Nascar type thing like that too.) I personally think it's kind of silly, but hey.. works for him. He doesn't exactly enjoy shopping, so I'm sure that's a stupid hobby to him (when it's somewhat kind of one of mine.)
The only time I'd demand he stop is if it interfered with our family life,... like was causing problems. I don't foresee that happening, but it did get pretty extreme when he was in like 3-4 different FF leagues at one point. I gave him minor helll for that because he'd have it on and get REALLY irritated by a play - like it'd prevent him from having fun because he had the QB on one league (so it was good in that league) but he had the opposing defence on a different league (so it was also bad.)
my hubs plays video games, yeah it is annoying sometimes, like when I want to go to dinner and we have to wait for a "save point" but he's not crazy addicted, he plays maybe an hour a night if that and family time always comes first. I think it's healthy for he and i have our own outlets as far as hobbies, so long as it's balanced and doesn't take over.
