bonus hax sports chat q: her husband is a Redskins fan who expects them to still be great and is ruining watching games for the rest of them

SKINS AND MARITAL HARMONY

My husband and I are locals, life-long fans, coming of age in the Redskins glory days. We have been together since the 2003 season, and my husband is ruining watching Redskins games for me. He still expects them to be great, and gets mad - yelling, throwing a remote and stomping off mad - when they screw up. His solution is to just stop watching the games, but then I'm stuck watching alone, which just sucks the fun out of it for me - I know some people enjoy watching it alone, but not me. My daughter, now 3, will watch with me, but not for long. She loses interest when we go along time without singing Hail to the Redskins. I guess I'm just stuck, right? The only other option would be to go to some bar to watch with like-minded fans, but people frown so much on bringing toddlers to bars. Not to mention the expense. What's a long-suffering wife and fan to do?

clearly, it's the 3 year old's fault. Get rid of that thing -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 28, 10:23 2

if he won't watch, then he can stay home with the toddler, and you go to the bar. over and done. - TFox Nov 28, 10:15 1
- right? the fact that 'taking the child to a bar' is what she came up with as an option is insanity. -- nm - Andie Nov 28, 10:28

  - Here's an option: Why don't people acting stupid stop acting stupid? And leave the 3-year old out of it. - Diva Nov 28, 10:20

  - are you getting on the Tebow Express? -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 10:17 1

- Heh. But another couple might work, particularly if they're sane people who can root for a team without acting like children. -- nm - mara Nov 28, 10:16
