Man my wife just complains constantly about all the rocket stuff, and time spent playing with these toys. Even though my 10 year old is doing it with me, she knows i am having far too much fun. We had a great launch friday after noon doing about 8 flights around 1,200 ft at peek. I offered for her to come, but unless we were coloring hair, or doing nails she isn't intrested. Any tips? i know some of you "grown" men have spouses here! :y:
I was "thanking" my wife (*tra L2*) the other day for being a "cool" chick. And told her i am so happy she isn't high maintinence... we joked about the 1 timer wives... you see them at a launch 1 time, and never again....(which is better than the nevertimers...)
I do rocketry with my 3 children.... the 1 yearold I have a feeling will be the one who really takes on... the 7 yearold, just thinks its common place part of life.
There are 2 things that made my wives active participation possible. She actualy enjoys to see me play.... we make that important just as a basis for successful marriage.. It means, may have to get excited over a new Nail gel coat curing machine too.... or, note that i love the new hair color, and the "accent" she got...
The second thing, is we play together... i remind her constantly that i like the "family" hobby, but isnt family to me if she doesnt participate, AND, that she and i need to "play" too... so we will build rockets together.
this last year, with my son really wanting to get hands on with something "POWERFULL" its clear it wont be a "family" hobby any longer.. so.. she and i are going to take a vacation this year and make it some couple time without kids...
Give her a rocket... say its something you want to do with her. (JUST HER).
