My problem is I hunt, fish, and crab... So lately I've been going crabbing every weekend, but thankfully its usually only a morning thing so by the time she gets up I'm almost done, and she never complains when we have fresh steamed crabs all the time!!

My wife is great about it though very underdstanding, but the key is making time for the family. She pretty much plans on me being in the woods from mid sept till thanksgiving, then I scale back on my deer hunting and start waterfowl, which lets me be home in the evenings... I make a huge effort to do things w/ her during the week and on sundays.

This year is going to be extra tough though, she's doing her student teaching and is pregnant (due in jan)... So I'm gonna be walkin on eggshells
