I have officially become a single mother for the duration of the fall sports season. My husband abandons me and his children for the love of a pigskin ball and a team men he has never met.
I HATE FOOTBALL.
I'd like to pretend I'm one of those sweet wives that that brings her hubby snacks and asks about the stats of the game- or one who gets into the game with him and wears the colors of his favorite team, but really I'm just huffing around the house, cursing him under my breath for his useless state and being angry at him for monopolizing the T.V. I can think of nothing redeemable about this sport. It's not like we know any of these people & we're not making any money off of these games so why is it soo important to watch each and every dad-blamed game? I mean, if Dan was at least betting on these games and making me some money- I wouldn't complain so much!
It doesn't matter if it's a team he loves or not, if there is a ball on the screen, He WILL be watching it. Dan undergoes some serious physical and personality changes while Football is on. He is suddenly unable to hear anything except the commentators on T.V.- even if the children are screaming or I'm asking him to take out the trash (for the 15th time), he is unable to get himself off the couch for a drink, push the down button for the volume on the remote control or eat anything at the kitchen table. He suddenly is able to weave a tapestry of naughty words at any bad call or fumble (I call this ESPN Touretts), able to remain in the same spot on the couch for hours at a time and get CRAZY irritated if any of us try to change the channel. And then- to top it off, he has to listen to the re-cap of each game and have other men explain to him what he has just watched. It drives me crazy!!
