Tough Talk: October 17, 2024

Tough Talk,

I work really hard in a social services center and we sometimes have very bad days dealing with people who are also upset.  I tell my wife this when I come home, asking her to cut me a little slack, but she really starts ripping into me about trivial and mundane nonsense. It’s like she waits all day until I get home.  TT should I ask her to give me a little space and consideration when I get home? (Keniworth, New York)

Kenny,

It is asking too much. Who do you think you are? As a good little puppy dog, you have no right to expect anything else.  Now go tuck your tail between your legs and do what you’re told.  What else can you expect for being such a gutless toad, Squidley?
