Default Doing your own thing, when you have a family

Is it wrong for a (younger) guy to go out and Jam in a band 2 nights a week for 3-4 hours after his kids are gone to sleep (Moms at home.. lol not leaving then there by herself)

I go out 2 nights (usually Mon and Thurs) and Jam with a couple guys (A drummer, and a singer who I met for the sole purpose of jamming with) and have a beer (I am always driving so its not like I go out and get drunk)

I go out after 8pm (after our Daughter goes to bed) and am usually home by 11 or 12 at the latest.

I dont really do anything else, I mean we go out together, sometimes but I dont play hockey or snowboard anymore. I work, come home, eat, play with my daughter and then we go to bed.

Now today she just blows up on me saying "You're hanging out with friends and drinking, one night a week is enough for that"

So I bring up my Sister and her Fiancee (who have a kid the same age) and they both play Soccer a couple nights a week (not together) and my sister does a Tap class once a week on top of that, and he goes to the Gym every night. I said if I played beer league hockey it would be going out and drinking for longer.

She then says things like "I like how you justify your drinking and playing guitar by comparing it to something like soccer or hockey" and "At least Soccer is wellness"

Is there something I am missing? IS she being unreasonable? Am I?

Is 6-8 hours a week to myself too much?
