I once heard that the word GOLF is an acronym meaning Gentlemen Only; Ladies Forbidden. It turns out, that’s not actually true (source: Snopes), but around here, the word still takes on a negative meaning.
My husband golfs just about every Saturday. We used to fight about it a lot. My argument was that the kids are still pretty young and I am home with them all day throughout the week. I figure that I should get some help with the kids at least 2 out of the 7 days in the week. In my opinion, if my husband isn’t working, than he should be spending time with his family.
Apparently, my husband does not agree. His argument is that since he works 5 days a week, he should get one day a week to do whatever he wants. He also argues that it is only for a few hours. I’ve proven that not to be true on every occasion. He is gone for 6-8 hours every Saturday.
It has actually come to the point that every time I hear the word golf, I just want to scream and tear my hear out.
We don’t argue about golf anymore. The only reason why is because I gave up fighting a loosing battle each week. I imagine he gave up on the fight as well, because he doesn’t mention that he is going golfing anymore. I’ve come to expect that when I wake up on Saturday, he will be gone.
