Husbands need time off
Sometimes I go home and flip off my thinking head and play my PS2. It's probably the only time that I can truly enjoy quiet time. Funny but with all the things that happen to me in the day, time to myself is limited.
After a demanding day at the workplace, I sometimes come home to demanding parents (I live with my parents), demanding wife and children. Though they all need my attention, who would then attend to me? At times I wish somebody would listen to me. Just to listen to what is on my mind. To allow me to vent some of the frustrations and stress that I have accumulated during my working hours.
Instead I get more added stress. It is no wonder that most guys under stress turn to other forms of release. Alcohol, gambling and other women. When their immediate support system fails to support their needs they would seek out other support systems. This is where all the problems pop in.
As for me my secondary support system is my PS2. Playing video games is something that I have been doing for a long, long time. No point giving up on it. At least it keeps me from doing the other vices that I mentioned above.
So this week would be a tough one for me as wifey is away attending a training course. Added stress to me but at least I get to spend time with my kids. I've had to block off all other activities for this week except those that I've planned in advance.
Have to put my gaming aside for the time being though...
