I’ve been training most of my life, my father trained judo, my uncle is a blackbelt in bjj. It’s really a part of my life. Not a mainstream sports guy. I just enjoy grappling. The wife has purse disdain for it. She doesn’t understand the culture she thinks I go there to get beat up and isn’t really supportive (I just won a local tournament btw lol) I’m looking for advice or tips from anyone else who experienced this. It comes to a point I drive to training with such guilt that I know when I come home I’m just gonna hear about it. I even consider quitting at times. I really don’t know what to do or how to approach. I try to explain to her how much I love the sport/art but she pretty much scoffs me off and says the generic shit, “yeah you wanna go roll with men and do g@y shit etc lol” anyway. Thanks for reading. I only train 1 day a week at this point because we have a new born. (9 months old) she requested I take time off and I did. Now I’m easing back and the eye rolling doesn’t stop lol.

I live in a small town in Mercer county and lately the amount of aggressive electric scooters and motor bikes have been wild. Sometimes it looks like a scene out of a high speed chase movie in Thailand or Bollywood. These things are super silent and go pretty fast though. Backing out of the driveway is pretty much a gamble at this point due to my blind spots. Walking the baby with the stroller I’ve been yelled at by them to “WATCH OUT” as they brush against my shoulder and zoom by me. No helmets either. Does anybody else deal with this or noticed this observation?

I’m all for kiddos having fun but come on. This is the fourth infraction lol. First time it was a hard baseball to which I return and kindly spoke to the parents and notified them about the Park down the street. Now I have collected over 3 various (pretty expensive) soccer balls. I’ve read here people suggest to stab the ball and throw them back but I don’t want to start a war. My main concern is my cat and dog are always in the yard and I’m afraid one day it will either connect with them or my bay window. It also makes the dog nuts when he kicks the ball very hard against my fence, which wakes my newborn and pisses the wife off…what to do? They have yet to ask for the balls back. The collection just keeps piling up. Not to mention this kid rides his electric scooter very aggressively on the sidewalk almost taking me down with the stroller before. I can’t believe I’m at this stage of my life HAHA

My tip of the day for essential carry. No need to digress
