The Euro ball is flying freely on the German field but still has the power to take away the worries of many families.
Letter to my carefree husband!
9am Sunday morning. I am writing this to you while your snoring is ringing in my ears. I know you were up until 4am last night because of the exhausting Euro football match that you loved more than me.
Dear, your summer is always more stressful than any other season of the year because we have to work overtime to prepare the finances for the new school year of our child, and we also have to reduce our rest time to take turns with our child during the summer. Summer is the season when we are both most tired. But this summer, when the Euro 2024 tournament came, after only nine days of you hugging the TV and phone to drift with the ball all night, my mother and I experienced the "sleep paralysis" scene that weighed heavily on our minds, a very tiring mark for our whole family.
My colleagues' husbands, one had his car stolen, another had his house "visited" because he was fast asleep after a football match, another had a heated argument with his wife, all because of football day and night. I know you love watching football, but what will happen to you and us when the Euro ends in mid-July?
I don't want to see you rushing and languidly going to work every day with dark circles under your eyes. I don't want to spend the night alone with you only knowing about your football. I don't want to be annoyed by your stupid screams on TV late at night. You think I'm talkative and harsh, but I don't want your health and our family's feelings to go down with the ball when this tiring football season ends. I hope you understand my feelings.
To my stressed wife!
2am, before the Belgium - Romania match.
Maybe this is the time of day when I am most alert and that is why I can read your mind. I know that summer is a stressful season, not only for us. Remember, on our wedding day, we vowed to be together for a hundred years, and the Euro only comes once every four years. You are always right about everything and I am only interested in you and football.
I don't drink coffee, smoke, or drink alcohol just because I want to save money and spend more time with you and your mother. I also don't gamble or do any other useless hobbies outside. I like watching football, but now you have to pay for the signal, I don't watch it either, I save everything for our family. But Euro is different, it happens every four years, and the stations invite you to watch it for free, right?
However, you are still right. The past nine days when I was enjoying the Euros were also the time when I felt very tired when going to work, when trying to look after the children, or when helping me with something, I think I even got grumpy with you. All because I was exhausted because all I knew was football all day.
He promised that as soon as the group stage was over, he would adjust his schedule. Watching football would cause a rift in family relationships, damage health, and if worse, cause debt because of football like many others, it would be an unpredictable danger, breaking all ties.
I will watch football responsibly.
The match has begun, and he thanks his wife for the thoughts he has unintentionally ignored these past few days. Just this one more match. He promises to change!
