Sounds like the title of a "blank book," a book with only blank pages in it. Books like "The Wit and Wisdom of Spiro Agnew" or "Reasons to Vote for Democrats."

You have to be of a "certain age" to get the Spiro Agnew reference.

Despite looking as healthy as an Olympic athlete last night, my baby boy woke up snotty and congested this morning. According to the wife I should have given him allergy meds last night because it's "that time of year". She completely ignored that fact that I fed, bathed, did homework, and put both of our boys to sleep before she got home. Rant is over.

Sounds like ya’ll married a bunch of bitches that need to be put in their places

This isn’t a Disney story and they aren’t princesses.

The kids being good looking and smart.

You married guys bitch more than teachers

I think that what might be going on here is that a lot of guys interpret a “complaint”, or even a simple statement of a fact as “blame”.

For example, someone here mentioned that his wife blamed him for not giving the kid preemptive allergy medicine. Often guys (myself included) respond with something defensive, like “How the heck am I supposed to know that?” Or “I’m not a fortune teller!”

What this does (in her head) is invalidates what she’s trying to say. You’re feeling defensive. She’s feeling like you’re not hearing her. Argument begins.

A better reposonse in that situation would be something like, “I never would have thought to do that.” That both validates what she’s trying to say and diffuses the situation.
