[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a female cyclist, and I've always been struck by the gender disparity at cycling events.  Men don't have a problem having a hobby of their own,  and their spouses seem to enable them to attend all day events. It sounds like the issue here is that there's no reciprocity, you don't have your own time to pursue an activity outside watching your kids. That's something you need to negotiate.

I'm guessing you are reaping the benefits of having a very fit,  athletic sexual partner, at least? [/quote]

DH didn't start his marathon running until after I was pregnant. He also signed up for a marathon smack dab in the middle of the busiest time of year at work for both of us. Between working long hours, and taking care of an infant - I don't have time to spend on a similar commitment.  [b]DH has suggested I pursue my own activity, but my days are already hectic enough. Someone has to take care of the baby while he is out running[/b]. [/quote]

So what is his suggestion for taking care of the baby while you follow his suggestion to pursue your own activity? Oh wait, he didn't think that one through...[/quote]
