I have a mini bar setup in the back of the guest bedroom vanity at my parents house for the twice a year I go visit. They are very judgmental about drinking, its easier to just "turn in" early for bed and have a little nightcap.

I pray they never find it. Christmas time would be torture.


I like your style, mister!

I’ve been known to walk my son to the fridge and point out the food for him to eat.

“Here’s the gumbo, here’s the rice, here’s the potato salad.”

The boy is blind and lazy I swear.

My wealth. I'm frugal as shite, invested well and worth, well, enough that it's none of their business. They have always been like, "you can tell me, I won't tell anyone" and next thing you know, all the aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and acquaintances know my business, and the inevitable requests for loans are sure to come. My wife is the same way. We are big, big believers in saving and being frugal for a rainy day and not spend frivolous. As far as everyone is concerned, we are your average everyday middle class couple, and I like it that way.

I don’t think you’re alone in that. A lot of people are like that I know my wife and I are.

my wife doesn't have any idea how much we're worth, not that I try to hide it, she's just not interested in the details

You know, it’s funny, we’re not funny, I’ve always had short bouts with depression once or twice a year, nothing serious and nothing I don’t come out of quickly, but it’s something, but I just don’t share even with my wife


I learned not soon enough that you need to comiserste with close guy friends or a mentor or a damn priest if you need to about certain things. After a couple times of opening up about the depression, only to be sidelined in favor of everyone else's problems, I realized me being here to empathize and help others doesn't necessarily default as a reciprocal agreement.

We males have a lot of utility and talents. Finding shite isn't one of them.

I ask my 8 year old daughter to help me find things now. Figured 20 years of it for my wife was a long enough sentence.

In the years of the non-stop teenage video game zombies, dad (me) had his own stash of batteries so that important things would still be powered...like the remote

Well, they do now!





And hey, next time you borrow her, you can't just spray WD-40 up in there and call it good.

Ain’t no way in hell I’m telling my side of the family that I’m at 7 digits in my retirement accounts.

When I was a kid my dad used to hide klondike bars and other frozen treats in the back of the deep freezer. But then we found them when I was about 8-9 years old and he was never able to hide them again after that.
