You should not have to convince them, it is what I do.
With a young family - sports / activities always took priority.
Those days are gone. I take many multi day trips all over WA. Fish the salt when I can. I aked, by her, if I be fishing this weekend - answer, yes!
I married a gem and she never has held me back from my passion. Perhaps she likes her alone time, or doesn't like me that much. No matter, I be fishing...
We will have our 40th anniversary next month and I have always been amazed she said yes so many years ago, thank goodness.
Sorry to get carried away and, perhaps, off subject.
