E and I barely saw him all week. I think he only saw E for a diaper change Monday morning, and not again until Wednesday! </p> <p>Anyway, Friday was his birthday, and they let him leave early, so he'd actually be home and we could have dinner and cake and all that. Then he informs me that HIS BROTHER had set up a draft for them that night. Oh I was furious. BIL was like "Well, we thought he'd just auto-draft...". Phhff. DH is obsessed with fantasy teams. OBSESSED. He'd never, ever auto-draft, even on his birthday, so he could actually spend some time with his wife and child who he'd barely seen all week. </p> <p>I think he's doing 5 leagues this year. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fantasy-football-widows-unite#post-1066154 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 21:00:54 +0000 Mrs Spoon 1066154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is in 5 leagues this year! </p> <p>@SSLM I am with you! I started doing FF a couple years ago and now it's something else for us to do together. DH loves me asking him drafting advice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fantasy-football-widows-unite#post-1066073 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:28:38 +0000 travelgirl1 1066073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg. The draft is the biggest sporting event in our house other than the Olympics, lol. Like @sslm: i decided to get my own team last year as a coping mechanism and hilariously, I did pretty well :happy: But yeah, I don't love Sunday nights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fantasy-football-widows-unite#post-1066072 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:27:38 +0000 mediagirl 1066072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love fantasy football! My husband and I are in my work league together. Neither of us think your life should change just because it's a new sports season, though. This whole "sports widow" thing blows my mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fantasy-football-widows-unite#post-1066068 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:27:10 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1066068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in this club, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fantasy-football-widows-unite#post-1066066 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:25:34 +0000 pmerr 1066066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does 3 leagues. I do one with him. I started last year when they needed someone. I also joined another with an old friend on facebook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fantasy-football-widows-unite#post-1066009 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:03:44 +0000 heffalump 1066009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so thankful DH decided not to do it this year. Since having LO he just isn't that into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fantasy-football-widows-unite#post-1065994 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:00:02 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1065994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, I'm helping my DH with the draft tonight. 30 minutes and counting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fantasy-football-widows-unite#post-1065963 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 19:51:09 +0000 heartonastring 1065963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: nice! One of the concerns tonight was that they might be short one person and I was totally going to join if that happened...they found someone though :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fantasy-football-widows-unite#post-1065937 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 19:42:25 +0000 sslm 1065937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I decided if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!!! I'm playing in a league with my husband this year!!! Hahaha. I will laugh so hard if I beat him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fantasy-football-widows-unite#post-1065927 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 19:39:55 +0000 Boheme 1065927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh lord. My husband forgot to take his phone off auto-draft mode for like 3 minutes and he was flipping out. He takes FFL extremely seriously. Freakin nerd husbands!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fantasy-football-widows-unite#post-1065902 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 19:31:11 +0000 MamaMoose 1065902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha my hubs used to play in the nfl so his friends and family are CONSTANTLY trying to get him to join their leagues. Thank God he continues to refuse! His response is always "I lived it, I don't need the fantasy" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fantasy-football-widows-unite#post-1065895 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 19:27:59 +0000 Silva 1065895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. I had to do the first two rounds of drafting for my husband last week because he had to work. I love watching football, but don't get fantasy at all.<br /> If he wins, however, I will be requesting a dinner out with the prize money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fantasy-football-widows-unite#post-1065887 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 19:25:27 +0000 heartonastring 1065887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH's fantasy football draft is tonight and he's all stressed because he's his league's commissioner this year (seriously, is that even a real thing?!).</p> <p>He's also announced that I'm not allowed to use my phone, iPad or Netflix until his draft is done in case I cause him to be bumped off the Internet. Um, what?! That is not something that's ever happened before. Oh, and we can't turn on DD's monitor until after the draft because it really does interfere with our wifi connection.</p> <p>And so begins my football widow-dom...from now until February.. Ugh!</p> <p>Anyone care to commiserate (but only until 9 pm EDT at which time I apparently MUST log off!)? </p>
