Getting rather annoyed

[cyberknight]

With rest of the family who dont give two hoots about the one thing i do for enjoyment .
I dont watch tv , its their programs ,dont smoke , drink etc etc .

This afternoon we are out at a fair , i told swmbo iwould like to get out for an hour this morning so she gets up late so thats out the window."She doent get a lie in all week but gets a full nights sleep every day where i have to cope on 5-6 hours , less proper sleep when im on nights .
Pretty much the same every weekend its a battle to get time for a ride "You ride to work all week"

Truely fecked off with the lot of them


Rant over !!

Leave, or go for a ride, I dunno.

I feel your pain, I have a cyclist hating family:

"THEY" never use the cycle lanes
"THEY" are always in the way
"THEY" are always rude

Yada yada yada.........................

I`ve had many a tantrum over a Sunday dinner

Don`t get some people

When you get up early why can't you just go?
Maybe you have kids, I dunno?

I would have thought if she gets up late, that's an ideal time to go for a ride? Can't you get up early and be back by the time she's getting up? Win/ win?

But I know what you mean, my wife's not too bad, but had a slight explosion when I suggested that I might go out this morning, after most of yesterday being sacrificed to my ride. "I'll go to Oxford on my own shall I" meaning, "You do that ride, and your life will be made miserable!".

Families. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

We all suffer at some point with families.

Half correct.
I live on my own, and the more I get to know people, the more I realise I have made the right decision!
Do what I like, when I like. Eat what I like, when I like. I did try the alternative and it was a disaster - mind you she was a nippy little madam so probably not the best example.
I come from quite a big family and we all got on well, most of the time, so I don't know what happened to me .

Fake your own death, start again with a new identity.

Go on the pi55 for a few weeks, she will appreciate you more when you say cycling or drunk orrible =%_=..
It might work..or its time for the conversation? We stay togeather for all the wrong reasons i think.

Mate of mine in same boat. Bought an Evo Six in January and has done 30 mile on it. She uses the 'you ride to work everyday ' excuse on him. My Mrs is the best tho. Totally gets it but my kids are grown up now. It does get better.

I get up at 5am on Sunday's for a ride ... Back by 6:30 in time for the kiddy to get up ..... 5am is lovely ... I saw 2 cars today

It's always a bit of a mare sorting out personal time when you have kids. Can you drag one of them with you? You could stick the 4 year old in a bike seat and head out someplace with the promise of cake. This way you can get an ally for future cycling escapades.

Although, it doesn't work if you need the headspace that cycling alone gives you.
