So for the last 2 days, I have had to watch the World Cup matches on my laptop and if things do not change, I will be forced to bring out the new TV I bought to send home to Ghana—simply because the Mrs won’t let me have the TV all by myself.
It all started well without complaints but watching 3 matches a day means, she cannot watch any of her TV programmes. I succeeded for some days, paying her 2 pounds to miss her TV programmes (which she can watch later via TV Catch-Up or record them) so I can watch the World Cup but she has gotten wiser—and wants more than 2 pounds (which I cannot afford) or we share the TV time equally…
I have put up all the threats, ranging from I will go to my friend’s house each evening to watch the soccer matches—to— I will go on unplanned holidays for a month so I can enjoy all the matches in peace and she doesn’t seem to be moved.
All she wants is a fair share of the TV. Even though I have just ordered a new cable from Amazon, intending to open the new TV bought for Ghana and connect it somewhere near my working desk to enjoy the world Cup in peace, I still don’t understand why the women can’t leave the men to enjoy just a month of TV when they always have the TV.
