My husband wonders why I don't like watching football with him

[renie408]

Could it be that listening to him scream at the TV for three solid hours is not as much fun as he might think?

1. You wanna hear REAL screaming . . .

.
.
.

Try turning the TV off.

(NO don't do that!)

Maybe educate yourself on the teams he watches, stats and all, and participate with him?

Then you can scream together!

Surprise the crap out of him.

Worth a try,

no?

4. Yes, scream with him for the football....but in order to compromise

Have him make the pies, potatoes and yams for Thanksgiving...sounds reasonable?

6. Learn to play in his sandbox first . . .

.
.
.

then lure him into yours . . .

7. I have been learning the game...

The screaming is just not me. I try to keep the fact that his screaming is disturbing to myself. That's about as far as I am going with this thing.

2. You should be screaming with him.

Or maybe do something else if you're not having fun with the game.

3. In my house...

I'm the one who does the screaming...

We had to pause an earlier game during a visit from my stepdaughter, her husband, and their 3 year old daughter.

So innocent ears wouldn't hear Nanny's potty-mouth
