There's a risk / reward tradeoff in everything we do. Different people evaluate the two sides differently.

For YOU, the risks aren't worth the rewards. For HER, they seem to be. It's her (or their) decision. When you (or your wife / girlfriend / ...) get pregnant, you can make a different decision.

Actually, no, that wasn't the question. You asked,

"My friend’s wife will be pregnant in her 8th month when our state playoffs start; he is also a referee and works with her. When, if at all would you make her stop working games?"

My wife would never officiate. It would get her hair messy.

That's an old trick. I did it with ironing. Do a horrible job. Never have to do it again. Husbands of the world, unite.

Also, I used to tell my kids that they could only help me with snowshovelling if they were good. Tom Sawyer revisited.

Hmmmmm - hormones, pregnant wife, 8th month, me TELLING her anything ......

Nope - not gonna happen!! I value my own life. :D

I've rethought this. Since the little lady will be done reffing after she has a baby, I'd let her enjoy her little hobby as long as possible before the baby is born.

Hmmm, wouldn't there be a greater chance of getting whacked from an official that's eight months pregnant? :eek:

I tried telling my wife not to mow the lawn when she was pregnant. Let's just say that didn't go over very well. And then her doc got in on the act and told me it was good exercise for her. I've mowed the lawn twice in the past 5 years and was told how terrible of a job I do. :D
Do you shovel snow badly, too?

just another ref Wed Jan 12, 2011 04:12pm
Y'all are leaving out the most important part.

Can she still wear a belt?

I don't shovel. I use a snowblower. And yes, she comes home from work and says it's not good enough and goes out and cleans up after me. :)

I will have to try that with dishwashing....
btw in case there is a lurker from western MA, you should explain what a snow blower is.

Then we wouldn't be entertained by reports of "shoveling."

Yeah, that would be a huge loss.
