This man works a full time job and spends all day saturday with the kids Sunday is his only day of peace? Should he be able to have friends over and watch football for 12 hours?
Every Sunday no exceptions.

This guy works and spends time with his children and all he wants is 12 hours of enjoyment a week to stay home and watch football .If a man cant watch football in his own home than there is something very wrong.He is not asking to hang out in a bar ,he is HOME. Any wife that complaints about this deserves a divorce.WAKE UP.Leave this man lone.

Sorry Dude, life doesn't work this way. I would pick and choose the games you really want to watch. I'm sure they are willing to let you watch one game each week without interruption. If you want a day with the boys, pick a Sunday just not every Sunday. 12 hours of football every Sunday is a obsessive. If someone would spend that amount in a bar each week, you would call him a drunk. Just remember football doesn't keep you warm at night or gives you hugs and kiss or unconditional love. Your family need you too. Imagine your wife and kids taking you to another Shriek or chick flick every Saturday without interruption and no exceptions. Your kids will grow up and leave home all to fast. Don't blink. God bless.

Children need care and supervision ... 24 hours a day
7 days a week.
Parenting is a Two-person responsibility. (Remember it
took TWO people to produce EACH child!) The beauty of
a 2-parent home .... Is that the TWO parents get to share
the responsibilities.
It is understandable that Mom and Dad WOULD each want
some UNINTERRUPTED time for themselves. However,
depending on the age of the children ... I don't know how
REALISTIC it is to expect 12 straight hours uninterrupted
EVERY Sunday NO EXCEPTIONS.
Raising children, by definition .... Is FULL of exceptions and
interruptions! You have THREE .... So obviously you know
that!
Mom and Dad need to "agree" and (even compromise) on how and when EACH one will get some uninterrupted time. However, again, because of the nature of "children" I don't think that you can include a "NO EXCEPTIONS" rule. Again ... You have to be realistic!
When you have children ... YOUR convenience, and YOUR
"comfort level" becomes secondary to the needs and concerns of the child. YES each parent may want some
personal time .... but that is NOT an "entitlement!"
The parent that works a full-time job; or changes diapers
ALL day .... Or cooks and does ALL the laundry ...OR
spends ALL day Saturday with the kids .... NONE of that
ENTITLES you to UNINTERRUPED FREE time .... Because
ALL of that is WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO!

A game only lasts about 3 hours. I know because I once had season ttickets to an NFL team. Three hours is reasonable. Even if there is a doubleheader, it would only be six hours. He should have time before 1:00 and after 7:00. He must want to see all the pre and post game stuff. I personally only want to see the games.

Depends--Does his wife get every Saturday off from Morning till night with absolutely no interruptions..(man does all cooking etc)
Does the man on Sunday, after everyone is gone clean the kitchen, the bathroom, do the dishes?
A more realistic answer would be one Sunday a month at each guys house, that person being responsible for cleaning up the mess..
The days of feudal lords and kings are over in America, everyone pulls their own weight....

Parenting is a full time job. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. A man has no right to expect that he should get Sundays entirely to himself, just because he wants to watch football with his buddies.
If he enjoys watching football, perhaps he could spend time with his family watching football. He can watch the game, and teach his kids about it. I doubt they'll remain interested for 12 hours though.

Our family spend our Sunday's watching football, but not for a straight 12 hours, we watch in between, eat, hang out with friends, do stuff with our child. Football isn't that important that we have to be glued to the TV for that long, besides we have DVR so in case we have more important things we need to take care of we can still watch the game with no interruptions.

All day...maybe not.
You have to plan it out. You know games are going after about 12:30is EST..so take the family out for breakfast or brunch, take the wifey to Starbuck at like 7 am and be alone..you have to have good saturday night nookie and then again sunday morning...pave the path to freedom..
If you do all that and the beyotch complains....sorry, you're wife doesn't understand the needs of a man.
If you're the wife, your husband needs that time, it's one freaking day a week...give the guy a break and instead of complaining, get a favorite team and join in the fun!!
OR, better yet, go out with your girlfriends and do something.

First of all All day sunday is a misnomer and for 12 hours? Football on the east coast starts at 1 in the afternoon. You mean to tell me he is watching football till 1 in the morning? Hmm. There is no such thing as uninterrupted anything. Especially with kids. Kids get hurt, have to go places have to be picked up. With marriage and kids comes responsibility. So the answer is no
