catch him an anole and have him start there

because mine doesn't ####### listen.

We have three dogs, 6 chickens, and a cat. Yet she keeps letting the kids get random other animals. Fishes, Daughter of got guinea pigs for Christmas one year. A year later we are begging other people to take these animals because it's such a pain cleaning their cage.

After that I told wife of NO. MORE. ANIMALS. She got pissed off when I said no but she said ok.

A few month later son of got a gecko. She went behind my back and bought it because he wanted it. Problem with son of is he is about as ADHD as you can get. No we haven't started medication because it isn't effecting his school work yet. But he is definitely not mature enough for his own animal. Especially an animal that requires certain temperatures and other additional considerations more so than say a fish.

And last night was the perfect example. Without checking the water temp (which was scalding) he put his gecko in the water to help it peel. Well now it's legs are done. It's moving, it's alive, and able to crawl like a snake but I don't think it's going to survive much longer. An unfortunate learning lesson towards being a man where you take your time and double check to make sure you are doing right by the people (or animals) that are entrusted to your care

So once again, in a much more stern tone I told wife of NO. #######. NEW. ANIMALS. Because apparently the tone I used last time didn't work.

And that's when the fight started because how dare I 1. tell her no and 2. use that tone with her.

You worry about your wife too much. DGAF and worry more about Facebook Coach. She will drag you down to her level if you don't, and that's a place you probably don't want to be.

I'll give you an example. My wife knows better, but she tried nonetheless yesterday. See, her aunt died. She wasn't close to this aunt, was from her father's side of the family, who I was told are redneck, trash, axe murderers. Come to find out her father's family is leaps ahead of her mother's family. Her mom denigrated her inlaws constantly while wife was growing up because she was an insecure neck from BFE, and they were refined, landed southern gentry from the lowcountry. She outkicked her coverage. Same with my wife. Same with wife's grandmother. Apple/Tree.

ANYWAY.....her father's sister dies. Wife comes in, I'm ####ing on the toilet. She then goes off on a RANT about how the obit had her dad living in Irmo and not West Columbia. Then they left out the parents in the obit. And she was ALL WORKED UP about this and how improper it was and serves them right, and they're idiots, and whatever else.

I immediately acted appalled. I almost fell off the toilet. I couldn't believe the audacity to write up and obit with the wrong town for her dad, and no mention of parents. HOW DARE THEY!!!! (I yelled) Wife knew....immediately, she had made a mistake. I told her you've spent years talking trash about your father's family. "WHO GIVES A ####." I was clearly faking giving a rats ### about the obit. I was sad she passed, and sent my condolences, and that's that. But noooo....wife had to freaking critique the obit. I'm like whatever. And wife then says she's just so happy to see them screw up the obit, fitting for them. I swear at that moment my wife was uglier than #### Butkus. I then politely told her I'm glad she came to me and didn't talk like this around our children, they may end up being yet another generation of insecure, petulant redneck #####es. Told her she's acting 10x uglier than the obit she's complaining about.

She then walked out ticked, then called her sister, who plays up to her BS.

I'm sorry, but you will see the light someday.

Constitutional infringement

The US Constitution is suspended in cases where it's an issue between marrieds.

Just put a babby in her, she just wants something else to take care of.

Me too. I was livid last night. I told her he wasn't responsible enough

My wife is Type A like me

This. A hard NO is generally not a productive place to start.***

But at the same time it's a level of respect. If she gives me a hard no,
