My wife uses the term 'play' when she wants to diminish whatever I'm doing, when its something not important to her. I always reply with:
1. I'm not a child
2. I'm not involved in a sporting event
So, therefore, it's not 'playing' at all.
It's sort of a sore subject with me.
I'm not pretentious with this or any other hobby, but she uses child references to anything she doesn't like as a way to downgrade abd demean whatever it is.
