This goes out to you guys who are lucky enough to be married with young children.
I haven't been to an R/C track, but I know what I'd find -- dirt, a box to stand in, and a bunch of men. This "sport" (racing anyway) seems like a unwelcome place for the wife and kids -- unless the kids are old enough to race.
If your kids are anything like mine, trying to control all of them all at once is surely a road to insanity. Therefore, if you leave your family at home, your wife is going to get mad and demand you reciprocate by letting her go out while you watch the kids.
Thus far, I've been taking my family to the playground. The kids play all they want while I run my R/C in the ball-field. This is fun, but the track is calling me, begging me to come and play.
How do you balance your hobbies with your family? Do you and your wife have an arrangement where you each take turns watching the kids while the other goes out alone? That doesn't seem like it would foster a healthy relationship between you and your wife.
Unless someone builds a playground next to an R/C track, I have a dilemma on my hands.
(PS NitroNewbie, if you have the space at your track, a playground would get folks like me to come, but I don't know how many people that would be.)
