kiteboy dave said..I has a wife, and 2 kids under 4yo, and a full time job, and a side job, and some clients I do work for here and there as well.
I haven't been out on my foil board in a month. I put it to the the wife last weekend and it ended up in a 10 minute rant about 'when was the last time
I got any time off" and eventually there was some shouting backwards and forwards and in the end I just wrote that weekend off, and next probably too.
Phases come and go.
Yourve got to ask yourself what is important in life. For me it is family, passions.....................................................then work.
If kitesurfing is important to you then work it into your weekly plan.
Now. How to deal with the missis. Book your kitesurfing in for rest of your life. Have one stand up discussion (argument). "This is what I need to do to be happy in life. Once or twice a week I will go kitesurfing! at least one session during the weekend. EVERY weekend!" Give her equal opportunity to do her passions.
Rather than having similar arguments every weekend. Its one big one. Then its booked in and you can go for it kiting the rest of your life.
It will go down like a cup of cold sick for a while. But push through taking your 3-4 hours of me time regardless of the ranting and she will come around eventually.....
Even with a very young family you still can get out. Hell you need to get out to blow out the cobwebs! Just make sure the missis has cobweb blowing time as well.
