Oh yay! Another hobby!

(slams face into desk)

Dh has taken up sporting clays.

He just spend one meeeeellion dollars on a shotgun.

HOWEVER:
- he agreed straight away to take a hunters safety course with me, since he's never owned a gun before.
- this is infinitely classier as a hobby than shooting bikini models on the beach.
-the money was his allotment from his own bonus combined with photography money. I already spent my cut on shiny new clothes.

This could go well (i.e. he will be less singularly obsessed with photos) or badly (we will have even more fights about his hobbies).

Wheeee!

I was just thinking of your DH and his photo and how similar my DH is with hims bands. Yes, two of them.

Hims!!! Wtf!

Clay shooting - where did he get this one from ?

Autumn, see Bootd thread.

I also read. Ha.

I'm not a huge hobby person, which always makes me feel pathetic. Dh wasn't either WHEN WE TOOK OUR VOWS. Lol.

I'm going back to work part time in the fall for some independent time. Dh supports me when I want time for myself, I just struggle with asking for it when i want our family to all be together a lot, and I never know what to do with it.

I used to be big into yoga. I need to get back into it.

He occasionally does it for work (oil industry) and really enjoys it. Plus, there's equipment to aquire. Homeboy loves accumulating tools for various activities.

I feel ya Stellas. SO gets REALLY into things when he gets into them.

It used to be flying ($$$) but now it's the more affordable minimal running craze.

Professor and amoosed, we should start a support group.

Oh get a life, Toledo.

Yes. Sympathizing. That's exactly what you had in mind.

Being a husband and father isn't his hobby, it's his vocation, and he does both plenty.

If it makes you feel any better, my DH's hobbies include wanting to join a country club (so he can golf all the time, as if that wasn't expensive enough on its own) and wanting to complete a doctoral degree.

I'm afraid they're actually going to accept him into this doctoral program, as he has a phone call set up with an advisor in the program he wants and the guy is interested in his proposal.

Sorry about your DH.

My dad shot sporting clays and skeet when I was a kid, I remember he would go every Tuesday and we would watch The Cosby Show, and then The Simpsons when it premiered, in bed with my mom, and eat ice cream for dinner. So, fond memories :-) It is a little fun, except I'm not a huge fan of ze firearms.
Anyway. My H has definitely acquired more hobbies in the last few years, but for him it's good, because he's also a little lazy and thus doesn't get into anything too hardcore, lol. It's nice for him to have something to do, but I'd be less enthusiastic if it took away a bunch of family time.

My H seems to acquire a new hobby every year. And it always means more stuff. This year it's archery.

I remember when my h took up clay shooting. Now he's big into archery. His hobbies change with every season.
