I'm going to tell my son it's ok to play football even though my wife is protesting that happening.
Why do you want to do it while your wife is protesting?
I've always wanted my son to play football, so now is the time to do so.
Even if your partner is busy, it is good to discuss things with them about your children and make decisions together. Otherwise you will be fighting about it later.
Nah, I'm going to tell her soon.
You really should sit down and have this discussion with her. It's only right to make choices like this as a family. If you don't agree you need to at least come to a middle ground.
