strange_andy Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Got an issue here on Sunday that I'm wondering if I'm overreacting on, so please give me some opinions. On Sunday, one of my wife's coworkers son is having a birthday party at 2:00 PM. I knew about it, but had no idea that I was supposed to attend, it's a kids party for piss sake! Anyway, I'm going to the friggin thing, but I told my wife since I'm going I'll be recording the game to watch later that evening. So, I told her that if anyone was watching the Bears game (also at Noon) or any game after, I wouldn't enter the house in fear that I might overhear the Jets score. Am I being nutty? Any solutions/suggestions besides telling my wife to haul ass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll only be an hour late. The Big Green Douche had the same situation the week of the Ravens game. He told me he wasnt coming over to watch. i told him he was a wuss, LOL. Then, on Sunday he calls me to come over and watch the game. i didnt ask him how he got out of it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 The Jets are on at 1pm EST. You don't leave the house. There is no dilemna. Seriously man. Send me your wife's email address. I will send her a note stating you have to watch the game. Signed, Dr. Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsTaborJet Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I have no advice for you, but have to say I can't believe you are going to your wife's coworker's son's party. Damn, you are a good husband! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Do something on Saturday that makes her very happy. While she's happy, ask her if you can borrow your balls for a while. During that brief window when you have balls, tell her, "I'm not going to some dumbass party for a kid I don't care about. I'm watching the ****ing game!" She'll be so mad, she won't speak to you the rest of the day. That's just a nice bonus. You'll be able to watch a late game, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green DNA Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Grow some 'nads man for gods sake. The wife needs to understand that nothing is more important than football on a Sunday. After the initial fuss she'll get over it and understand. Do it or you will end up in the "How do I know your gay" thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Andy, go to the party late. The game will be over around 3 and you can be at the party shortly after that. That is the best way to go. This is just another reason why I will never, under any circumstances, get married. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed, Dr. Max this made me laugh because it reminded me of a night I was working at a bar and decided to hang out and party with the bartender Neil. He wrote ME a note to my wife explaining my tardiness and drunkedness which went over none too well here at the homestead to say the least-ahh the good old days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew about it, but had no idea that I was supposed to attend, it's a kids party for piss sake! Wife's coworkers son is a bit far removed wouldn't you say? This could set a dangerous precedent. I mean how many of your wife's coworkers have kids? Nip this.....NOW or you'll be wearing paper hats every weekend. Wife has got to understand, there are 3 hours each week during football season that cannot be messed with. Missing the Jets play is just wrong. No fair minded woman would ask that of you unless it was something real serious. Enjoy the game. cheers, d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strange_andy Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 UPDATE: I stayed home to watch the game. Although, I would probably be less miserable if I had gone to the party, due to the way the Jets played. Thanks for all your wonderful advice. In my opinion, it's more about compromise than getting one's way everytime. In this household we share the pants. Sorry to disappoint all the really cool, hardcore manly men out there who feel their wives/girlfriends are powerless and inferior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool StrangeAndy, you had quite the dilemma there glad to see you got through unharmed. It's definitely about compromise, but I have to admit that it's quite the request of your wife to have you attend her coworkers son's party. Unless you guys are close and hang outside of work, then I think that's a bit much. I have to also say, I presume and sure do hope that most guys don't think their wives/girlfriends are inferior. It's the internet, they act all hardcore but us wives know otherwise. Now don't let this **** happen again. No Sunday commitments between September through February. Think Smart man!
