I'm seeking creative ideas on how to persuade my spouse that I simply must go to a travel meet in December. He didn't quite make vomit noises when I mentioned it, but looked a bit (not unduly) irritated/bewildered/annoyed by my desire to compete in meets. (He hasn't raced much lately.) The timing was likewise unappealing. Any thoughts?
I was contemplating calling my mother and begging for a visit.
If he is genuinely irritated by the idea of your travel meet, then you should not press the issue. Put yourself in his shoes before you ask again would be my advice. Aside from that, consider a compromise of sorts. You go to the meet and he gets something that he has been wanting to do..or buy him a new M5.
He has a cool car. He is also going to the Head of the Charles in Boston in October sans family.
Rocky: Can't just blast off and "do it" with the 3 kids, however tempting that seems at times.
Hmmm.....
