Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from two to five PM Eastern time on serious XM triumph 11. Mike, welcome to the program.

0:13.0

I got to know how are you? Good. What can I help you with?

0:18.0

Yeah, so me and my wife had an argument over the weekend and I just want to hear your thoughts about it. Tell me what the argument was about.

0:31.0

So she's a sole caregiver for her grandpa. He's in his mid 80s. He can't really do much anymore.

0:40.0

And he doesn't really have any other family that's around here. So she's pretty much taken care of everything.

0:47.0

So on Saturday, my wife asked me Friday night just need to go over to his house and do some yard work before the trailer park starts giving him fines for weeds and random garbage around the house or whatever.

1:04.0

I told her, yeah, that's fine. Let's go and get it done. Well, she did not wake up until like 10 30 on Saturday morning, which I was kind of irritated.

1:15.0

I would have liked to get over there and get it done before it got hot.

1:20.0

So once you woke up, I told her, well, let's get going and she's like, well, you know, why do we have to do everything on your time?

1:29.0

I said, not my time. Well, in all fairness in all fairness, two things.

1:38.0

You're married. You're supposed to love each other. Okay. Two things. Right. One. Yes or no. Had you agreed on a time to go over there? Yes or no? No.

1:56.0

Okay. That's it for you arguing. Number two, would have been really nice. If you had left or a note, I'm over there cleaning up so we can spend the rest of the day together.

2:12.0

Yeah. How would your day have gone then? You might have even have gotten lucky.

2:21.0

Yeah. Yeah. Possibly. Yeah. And even if you didn't to me, that's how a nice husband behaves.

2:32.0

So with her not waking up until this morning. Yeah. Okay. You want to be a sucky husband. Go ahead. I don't care.

2:43.0

It's not going to keep me up at night because you don't have any minor kids in the house. But I'm telling you a decent husband would either have made an agreement about

2:50.0

the time which you did not or would have gone over there realizing she's tired, she's sleeping. I'm going to go. I can take care of it faster by myself. Come home and take her to a movie and lunch.

3:02.0

That's what a good husband would have done. You on the other hand want a bitch about her getting up late. Yeah. That doesn't turn her into a good or a wife.

3:12.0

My number 1-800-375-28-72. I mean, do you people not want to go out of your way to do something that would make the entire universe go better?

3:27.0

Somebody sleeping, I assume, it's because they're really tired with their old deed. They're probably tired.

3:34.0

So you go over and you take care of something. Then you come back and say, I love you. I took care of it. Let's go have a good time together.

3:45.0

No. Let's focus on the fact that she said, I don't want to do it on you. I scheduled.
