Tough Talk,
My wife and I have been married almost six years. We haven’t spent a night apart since our wedding day. She is going home to deal with some family and business issues. She will be bringing back her father who is (I hate to say it) a pompous and arrogant dingbat. He once visited for what was supposed to be two days which turned out to be two months. I love her but just can’t stand the guy. What do you think I should do TT? (Kensington, Alabama)
K’ton,
I understand this situation perfectly. When he shows up, you tell him due to some solar event or other nonsense that it’s safest that he sleep in the backyard using a tarp, bucket and a wad of rags and paper towels. If he complains, you tell him it’s for his own good and if he doesn’t like it, offer to pay for a cab to the nearest bus station, homeless shelter or police station – and then blow him off with the money. Also, figure out what smell or noise really bothers him and crank it up. You won’t be sorry.
