When the men put their foot down...

Date sort Score sort
Mine thinks he has a breaking point, until I say we don't need anymore guns/electronics/truck upgrades. Golly, then the breaking point magically disapears.
 
Mine says NO to peacocks. I called from the feed store, with three kids crying because we didn't buy the lone male peacock. "NO PEACOCKS!!!" He really says no to any animals that eat and don't return the favor.

We have steers, jersey heifers, blackbelly sheep, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and ducks. He wasn't thrilled with the ducks, especially once we found they were all boys, but at least we plan to eat them one day. We just brought home 4 bantam chicks, and while we know we can't eat them and the eggs may not be much to speak of, he knows the kids have desperately wanted lap chickens.
 
I am at a point in my life now that when persons hassle me, I become an immovable object...it just does not work out very well for them...and I am horrible when I go shopping...like the woman had a kid pitching a temper tantrum in the floor at Wal-Mart totally blocking the isle and the like...I just looked at her and told her, "You should have left that thing at home." And then there was the time in the check out line when the woman behind me kept bumping me with her cart, like that was going to make things go faster...about the fourth time I turned around and told her rather loudly, "If you hit me one more time I am going to put that cart in a spot that will require major surgery to remove it and months of painful rehab." She went to another line...I have no patience for rude and stupid...I am just ornery...
I had a father, a brother, am a veteran, had two husbands, raised six kids and now I am old and grey with zero tolerance for wilful stupidity...both husbands were not very liberated in their thinking with regard to the role of women in the world...training them was hard...even the shock collars did not work after a while...






just kidding...about the collars
 
I think I used up my one allotted "yes" from hubby when we got the chickens. I haven't heard "yes" since... Oh well. They were worth it.
 
It's the opposite at my house. I have to guess at how many critters my wife is willing to look after while I'm at work.
 
The only time he really breaks is if he is working on a "project" and keeps running into issues.

FOr an example when we redid the bathroom. Pulled out the tile and previouse builder screwed up the frame that required work...and there was a slow leak behind the cast iron tub that he had to demolish to get out....the leak caused the wood to rot and he had to replace part of the floor.

The bonding agent that is to dry in 2 hours took 8 hours and the tub he put in required a $80 part he was not excepting....the new toilet requried a different piece of pvc pipe (?) and required replumbing and it went on and on and on and on and on and the next thing I knew I heard this blood shrilling shriek and the sound of a hamper crashing into the yes you got it freshly dry walled wall.
 
My husband will not eat a possum. He said that's where he draws the line.
