Random thoughts III

[cowgirl836]

Speaking of which...I mentioned my brother in law (wife's sister's husband) over the weekend...he's a piece of work on this stuff. He was trying to make my wife feel bad for not being the cook in the house one time, and he said..."double ought...you cook? that's woman's work!" I responded that "Well, that's true, but I like good food, and I figure that anything any woman can do, I can do better!" I kind of locked him up for a bit there, because his sexist mind was conflicted on agreeing with the second part without admitting that it blew up his gender roles concept as well.

Same family...wife's sister stayed home with the kids, neither she nor my wife are very 'career' driven...they like having a job, but don't draw their value from it. Their kids are now 13 and 11, so they're in school most of the day, but she's still playing chauffeur for the 17 after school activities, and she does have a very part time job. Anyway, the 13 YO started talking about money, and how it was BIL's money because he was the only one that worked, and that all she did was sit around watching TV all day. I honestly had to hold myself, because we've been around them long enough that I just have to not start the fights...it's my wife's family, and even though she won't jump in, I end up the bad guy when I do....but I'm sitting there thinking "Either of my boys talks like that to my wife, and they will get a cuff on the back of the head and they'll be eating rice and beans for a week and walking their spoiled ***** to school....where the heck do they think they can get away talking like this?" Yeah, about an hour later, BIL comes up and starts saying the same ****....guess that's where. When the kids get out of school, I'll honestly be surprised if she doesn't ditch his butt and take half of his stuff.

I think if I ever heard my teenage kids talk like that I'd go full AP on them. Your BIL sounds like an *******.

Honestly, I've come to expect him to be a **** head. The enraging thing is that she won't confront him and my wife is too timid to say anything, and I end up being the bad guy if I do.

Length of one's reach while sitting, in inches = N

Distance of toilet paper package in cabinet = N + 2.5

CG, something for you to think about in designing the bathroom in the new house.

the main vanity/cabinet space will be too far away so there will be some type of little cabinet or storage thing in that immediate vicinity. I've definitely thought about this.

From last night:

1. A holiday recipe thread would be great. We haven't had a serious food sharing thread for awhile.
2. Pants, adding resistance could be a great thing. Especially if you are getting board with just running. I recommend resistance bands. I just like them better and you can use them for more than one exercise.
3. 00, we had a discussion a long time ago about a tv show where the teen admitted to hitting/beating on his mom. Husband mentioned that if he caught our child doing that to me that he would take the child down (protect me). SIL apparently didn't get it and thought he was being extreme...... sigh.

Thankfully, I don't think it will ever be an issue.

Yeah, and the best part is that it was a knee jerk reaction to another case of the Rag's miserable excuse for journalism.

I honestly don't think context makes it any more of a smart thing to say.

I'll let it go so this thread doesn't become contaminated with the FB thread toxic gunk.

I'm not trying to be toxic, all he has to say is "next question". It conveys the same message and can't be taken out of context.

Discuss it over there, not here, was my point. People will go over there if they want to read our discussion of it.

Our cabinets are too far also; we have a little tubey thing with a lid (Walmart, KMart, Target all carry them), fits three rolls & fits right between the toilet & the wall. Then you have to remind DH to refill the tube!
