Just need to vent to those that might care. Finally after four years of me kiting i got the wife to have a try and have some lessons. Seems i screwed up and while i was watching her for safty etc didn't manage to take a photo.

Tonight while personally frustrated that i haven't managed a kite in 7 days and the holiday of my dreams has been a big waste of money now the wife tells me i'm a prick for not tajing any pictures of her "evaenthough she didn't want to do it" so not only have i wasted my cash on a fancy place and airfares for her to join now i've wasted good money on lessons she didn't want. I'm amazed because after four years of kiting now the only time she's come to take photos she snapped some other dude because she hasn't even taken the time to look at what kite i have.

Am i justified in my disappointent?

why would you want her to kite?

I tought my wife to kite as otherwise we didn't spend much time together at all.

It's painful teaching anyone..... but once they have mastered it it is fantastic.

Wife no, daughter yes.

My girlfriend kites now - but they turn into rancid rabies ridden wolves when they are learning though - but it has to be done, otherwise theyll never get what you do.

... rabid wolves alright, girls spend money on cloths or shoes or ect ect, just because, so when the kite bug bites, they want to buy kites and boards because it has a really nice shade of green in it! But do you hear me complain, well yes, because now we spend money on kiting gear, oh wait, thats a good thing, forget what I just said!

+1!! I go kiting to get away from it all, including the wife...Damn what have we become!

bunch of whingers

if the worst thing in your life is your wife whinging about a photo while your on holiday i think your doing alright

some of the best couples i've seen are kiting couples, they can share kites and there's never a guilt trip for being out

ahhhh bugger. Not too many over here in NSW. oh well....

Look if my wife wanted to kite (by the way i did attempt to show her 6 years ago before kids), then yes I would have no problems due to all the above reasoning. But she just doesn't want to learn and in-fact it has been a blessing, because it is my time away.

But she understands the need and all out holidays are based around it as it gets the kids in the great outdoors.

DOW - depends on wind, is used in all verbal arrangements with her friends and family.

But my kids are water babies and will learn soon enough.
