For guys with wives and kids-how much do you get to fish?

[Hlleonard]

Hmm.....Retired now so I get to fish as much as I like,thats usually 2 or 3 times a week....when I was workin and married it was tough to get time ..
Wife never understood my need for the sport so it caused a lot of friction between us (I would still go once a week if nothing got in the way) now my better half works 40 hours a week and I nap...fish..or whatever else I want....wow,I would have loved to have had this life when I was 30...

I have benn married going on 10 years, we have three kids 8,5,2. My wife bitches every time I mention the word fishing. I go through the week when I want since I am self employed while she is at work. I make sure I am home to get the kids off the bus at 3:15pm. We have baseball four night a week and soccer two nights a week. I don't go too much, the one good thing about my wife is she gives me one week a year in Feb. to go to Florida fishing with friends for a week and i go one week to a Triton owners tourn. wherever it is. So thats two weeks wife and kid free to go fishing, not too bad I'd say. She hates when I watch all the fishing shows all the time.
