Both my kids liked this show: In the Night Garden... (TV Series 2007–2009) - IMDb
Well, they loved it. It has scored a 6.5 on IMDB. I kinda wonder what this rating means.
Are there 2 year Olds on IMDB? Or are adults watching it and going “terrible show!”
All good, dude. I was just giving you a heads up of how things sound, in case you didn’t actually want it to come across that way. No judgements.
I feel this may be relevant.
A couple weeks ago I made a Twitter. Never had one before, but I had a brilliant idea.
“Shit my wife says.”
I made it after a particularly cutting yet hilarious comment, and threw it up there. Now, whenever my life says something sassy or dumb, but funny, I throw it on the Twitter.
This works for ONE reason. My wife absolutely loves it. She says something and we will both laugh ourselves to fits, and then she will proof read the posts before I say anything. She will ask a question and I will pull up my phone saying “hold on, just getting the Twitter ready for what comes next.” Make no mistake, i am 100% making fun of her. But she is in on it, and plays along. I don’t paint her as dumb or mean, just as my sassy partner that I’m living with. I think there are totally things you can tease your spouse about that are just flat out funny, but if what your mocking was actually a point of contention in the relationship, may be best to leave it alone.
PS. I have a whopping 3 followers on Twitter. Her, her mom, and her sister. Somehow makes it better
For the record, my wife is not dumb, she is a very bright in fact. I hope anyone reading what I post would look at it from the foibles in all of us in all relationships (partners, parents, friends, kids, work colleagues, training partners and strangers, etc).
Did not mean to insinuate anything about your relationship with your wife, In truth I am only marginally active on here and have not seen you say much. Just some advice about how I personally balance the teasing vs loving part of marriage
That’s pretty much how I read it. I’ve had some exchanges with my wife that would turn people’s hair white, and would describe a lot of the emotional content very much as you have.
Anyways, I end up reading it with humor and laughter.
For what it’s worth, I’ve always seen it as fairly tongue in cheek and not to be taken too seriously.
I’ve also observed that most people I meet in real life find it far easier to say negative things about their other half than positive. Many people come into work or wherever with a “you’ll never guess what so and so did” story. It’s pretty rare to hear a " my other half is so amazing" story because who wants to hear that?
I read most of it as tongue-in-cheek, too, and find most of it funny. That’s why I started off by relating to what you said. My purpose wasn’t to suggest that you’re posting too much of it, but to suggest, as @flappinit said, that you do a quick self-check, except MY suggested focus would be on the relationship. Does SHE feel respected by you. We don’t matter, and you’re not being odious.
I know it’s complicated. My husband likes to do “the ol’ ball ‘n’ chain” routine, too, which drives me crazy. Or he’ll say something sweet, but use a sarcastic tone. I frequently have to check in over it. Coincidentally, just last night I thanked him for saying something mushy without the sarcastic tone. He even managed “you’re welcome” without ruining it with his non-verbals, lol.
I decided to do something along these lines today.
She asked if I was dying.
Then I asked if she felt respected in our relationship, she asked if I was “smacked up or something” lol
It took me 18 years. I’m a slow learner.
Well, based on your pic, it looks like it worked for you. Can’t argue with results
How do kids detect closing doors so well?
I could bring Slayer into my bedroom, have them play reign in blood and the kids wouldn’t blink an eye.
I then go and lightly close the bathroom door and its a call to arms.
*Fuckin’ Slayer
Why do people buy Dell/HP/Lenovo/etc then whack an Apple sticker over the logo? I don’t get why you wouldn’t just buy an Apple…
At least in China- price
I don’t get why anyone would care enough to do that … seems pathetic to me
It’s the sticker bit that I don’t get rather than buying a cheaper computer.
Well, humans have done much stranger things- we’re a weird species
curious what species you’re comparing us to…what’s a “normal” species?
Putting the fancier sticker on less expensive stuff is a hipster commentary on consumerism and conspicuous consumption.
People like to show off with fancy gear. To show that they’re silly and you’re cool you ironically try to “dress up” your not fancy gear. But in an obvious way.
