I agree to a certain extent. Yes, I had to curtail a lot of extracurricular activities back once the boys came but as I see it, temporarily. Secondly, I get the high risk stuff and not dying as an advantage of staying away from these activities but in some ways there has to be a balance. If I were that freakishly paranoid, I shouldn't drive at all. I snowboard, but I don't do crazy tricks in the parks. I surf but I do longboard and just cruise, no tricks. When I was saving for a motorcycle, I made the rule that I wouldn't ride at night and I would only do early morning weekend rides. Everything is a calculated risk. I want to teach my boys to live life and never give up on the things they enjoy so why would I do that to my significant other or myself?
Like D said, his wife doesn't like him without his motorcycles. Why? I would like to bet it is because she knows how happy it makes him. If it was that important to you, your significant other would understand. If not, then I would have to wonder if I was with the right person. If anything, I see my boys already wanting to do some of the stuff I do and I can't wait to spend a lot of time doing things together!
