Cars are a common hobby of the couple.

I'm always happy to comment on your blog and your messages.I envy that you and your wife can share the car hobby."I often receive such comments, so I thought I would give it some thought of my own and wrote the following article the other day.

→Reference article: What is the biggest reason why husbands are opposed to their wives buying Porsches?

And after I wrote this article, I received a message from one of them, in which he wrote

If the household were a company, your wife would be a partner. Is the investment in a car beneficial to the company? is the essence of it. Fortunately for my family, they think it is beneficial for me to work hard and enjoy traveling with them in a car that I like. I think I have to work hard to earn that money."

Oh no!!! Holy shit, that's exactly what I'm talking about!

Is there any benefit to my wife?

It is true that a husband may have bought a Porsche, but if he leaves his family behind and leaves his wife to take care of the children, and goes out for a drive by himself every weekend..., then from his wife's point of view, this is a very bad situation.What's the point of having fun if you're the only one having fun?"I feel like I'm not a good person. And Porsche is an expensive hobby.

This can't be a common hobby, in fact, it might even make me dislike Porsche (laughs).

So, like the message I received, the purchase of the Porsche has

(1) More opportunities for family trips to hot springs
(2) More opportunities to go on family outings
(iii) My husband is working harder and harder and earning more and more money.
4) "Oh, you drive a Porsche! That's amazing!" I feel a little better when my mom's friends say that (laughs).
(5) Increased opportunities for couples to leave their children at home and go for a drive alone.

And... well, the benefits can be many things depending on the form of the couple, but whatever the form.... whether or not my wife would see the benefit."is a very big point.

Is there room for Porsche in your life?

In addition, while writing the article, I thought, "This is important. It is.Whether the wife has the time = mental capacity". No matter how nice a Porsche is.If there is no room for Porsche in my wife's life, I can't share it as a hobby.I think.

In fact, I became interested in Porsche and it became a common hobby for us as a couple, largely due to the fact that I had to save my job after the birth of our second daughter.

I started my own business at the age of 27, and until the end of the year before last, when I gave birth to my second daughter, I was working feverishly. It was normal for me to work on my computer until midnight after my children went to bed, and I always brought my computer with me when I went on hot spring trips, and I would even work in my room at the inn.

Also, every time I took a large vacation, I would get sick and always had a fever, so my husband wouldI've never traveled in good health.(explosion).

Even at that time, we had a Boxster in our house, and I was sure it was a nice car, but there was no room for a Porsche in my life at all, with housework, childcare, and work on top of that.

Decision to save work

However, around the fall of 2016, when I was pregnant with my second daughter and her belly was much more prominent. In response to my eldest daughter's babying becoming quite severe.Greatly reflect on how you have been dealing with your own children.I'm going to have to...

I also tried to transfer my oldest daughter to a licensed preschool starting the following April.He was turned down by all the daycare centers he wanted, saying that there were no vacancies.

We went to visit an international school and saw that our eldest daughter, who was shy, seemed to be enjoying herself as if she were a different person. After seeing this, the couple decided to go to an international school.

My oldest daughter is in an international school. I will pick her up at 14:00. My second daughter will be born, and I will save my work for a while.

I decided to do so.

Up until then, I was the kind of person for whom work was everything, so doing so was kind ofI honestly feel like I'm not myself anymore, and I'm impatient and anxious...So this was a big decision for me.

I saw a new world.

Then in January 2017, she gave birth to her second daughter.

Raising two children was harder than I had imagined, but, at last, I had the time to bring something new into my life. I began to take a little more interest in what my husband calls "Porsche, Porsche," and in April of that year, weFor the first time, I left my daughters at Okayama International Circuit to watch the Porsche Carrera Cup.

Then I thought, "I didn't know there was such a world out there! There must be so much more to the world that I don't know! I was thrilled in many ways.

Then I started this blog in June, went to see the WEC at Fuji Speedway in October, and decided to operate this blog in earnest in April this year, and here we are.

Even now, I don't have a great deal of time to spare. I have to get up in the morning, make my lunch, do the laundry, and hang the laundry to dry.(It helps a lot that my husband takes my oldest daughter to school every day)I spent the morning writing a blog and working while being interrupted by my second daughter, picked up my oldest daughter at 2:00 p.m., then went to the park to let the kids play, did some shopping, and came home at 3:30 p.m. I was so tired that I had to leave the house at 5:30 p.m.

After another round of work, it would be time to cook dinner in no time, but lately I haven't had the energy to cook anymore.(sorry lol)I often buy prepared foods.

Then I bathe the children, change their clothes, change my own clothes and dry my hair, my husband comes home a little later, we eat dinner, put the children to bed, and then I fall asleep myself. I would wake up every two hours or so to(I don't feel sleep deprived because it's already a habit)Another morning comes the next day.

I also went to the dentist, went to the hospital last week because my second daughter had a fever, had a kindergarten event, and had a parent-teacher conference in July...

So, even now.I want to practice driving a Boxster MT."The feeling is there, but there is no room for it.(My husband would say that I don't really want to be able to drive a manual! (My husband would say, "You don't really want to be able to drive a manual!)...I feel like I'm able to make time to write blogs and go for drives because I feel like I want to.

Thanks to my husband.

So if I were working full-time, getting up at 6:00 a.m. every morning, taking the kids to daycare, going to work, coming home at 7:00 p.m., finishing up all the work, etc., I would have no energy left to go for a Porsche ride on the weekend, and I would never be able to do it.

And to think that my husband has been married all this time.

If you want to be a housewife, that's fine; if you want to work, do it. Don't worry about your life, do whatever you want."

and I think it has allowed me to save work and create more time and room for the Porsche to enter my life.

Which means...I'm so grateful to my husband for creating this environment.I hope that we can continue to enjoy Porsche and cars together as a couple. Through the Porsche, we have more conversations as a couple, more opportunities to go out together, and we feel that our lives are becoming richer every day.(Hey, something ended up off from what I was writing at the beginning of the article (-_-))
