And Whatever you do......Don't Smile. Women can detect even the slightest glimpse of happiness in a man.
If she's dealing with the kid and is to tired to do anything else and you're cruising around the house whistling "I'm Walkin' on Sunshine" you're done...
"If you're arguing with an idiot, make sure he isn't doing the same thing."
and Eben ...you can also use the REASON (not an excuse) that you have to get out by the water to gain perspective to think about your family's future...(ie; its where you do your best thinking) away from the distractions of home....
You will get out more than you thought. My son will drag us out of bed saying" You play with me! You read my big truck book!" It is awesome hearing him talk but man I need some sleep sometimes.
It is tough to balance the needs of the family and finding the time to fish. Sometimes I try to crash for a couple hours when I get home but other times I have stuff to do and cannot.
I agree with Tattoo, sometimes its rough. Now that I have 2 , its even rougher. I usually fish from 2-7am, get home around 8. I try to nap in the afternoon when the kids nap. If not Im usually a zombie.
great wisdom Dad
