Pregnant wife (ref) when woud you stop?
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. Way too many things can happen that our out of her control that could cause an injury to her unborn child. Not to mention our state contracts state we should be in 100% physical condition or we shouldn't work. Thoughts?

They question is when would you make your wife stop in the same situation.

Female? Wisconsin? I'll look for her on TV.

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.

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.

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.

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?"

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

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