PDA

View Full Version : What should I do?

My nephew is a 31 y/o who just had a baby. He is what we call a "stay at home dad". Apparently, this is OK and "a thing" especially for lazy ::cough:: sorry, "progressive" millennials now-a-days. His wife is some director for a bunch of hospitals in LA and makes a whopping 300k+ a year, she is apparently OK with this arrangement(and I suspect domesticated my nephew into his current role).Now, I'm not OK with this and ever since his dad died I took on the mantle as some kind of paternal sherpa for Mark. So, I feel like I have some skin in this relationship.

Long story short, whenever I drive down to Venice to their little glass and marble office building they call a home I get this uneasy vibe from my nephew's relationship with his wife. I'm seeing a husband and wife role being completely turned upside down. I sit down in their living room and Mark's serving me drinks and food; she's sitting across from me chatting me up. It was surreal. I see my nephew hunched over on his knees serving mini sausages and she's got this cobra strike eye lock on me like the cunt is sizing me up. I mean I can read her mind, "it's been fun fucking your nephew, wonder how it'll feel when my cocks in you old man."

Anyhow, I really don't know what to say to him. My gut says this kind of relationship can't last; it's unnatural. I wouldn't care too much but they have this boy and it's going to destroy me if he doesn't grow up proper. What can I do? What can I say? Any suggestions?

Legitimate advice here:

1. Stop asking for advice from complete strangers on a video game forum.
2. Start asking for advice from either accredited counselors, or people who actually have some context to this (or any) situation you're needing advice. If you have family friends that are closer to the actual situation, and have opinions, it's better to have that uncomfortable conversation than to try and pick the brains of complete strangers who are just going to rip you to shreds for your narrow-minded perception of what is probably a working household.

Mind your own business.

Let's assume for a moment (and this is a big stretch), that you tell him what you think. If you're wrong you're a douche, if you're right, you're still a douche. You have no business telling two people how to run their marriage. Keep your pie hole shut unless you just don't ever want to see your nephew again.

This is definitely a clash of generational ideals. What you grew up with and the dynamics of a family structure are not what they are now.

That you don't like it doesn't mean it's wrong. And that you think being a stay at home dad is being lazy is laughable. Let's assume he is doing all the same roles of a stay at home mom, that is a tiring day that doesn't end. You don't punch a clock with that job. Single parents have to play these roles all the time and I doubt a single dad or mom is anything but lazy.

The same goes for two income houses. While in your genereTion was probably not a thing, this is now common place or depending on locations a necessity. Worry less about their family structure and worry more about why you think this is wrong.

its much easier to be judged negatively by strangers than to bring his antiquated ideals to his peers or family and be judged negatively. Harder to shake that judgement than to be judged by the myself or if tacos judged him.

What should you do? Be supportive. All of the things you feel about him, he is wrestling with. And trust me. Its hard for him, too.


I stayed at home for the first two years of my son's life. It was tough. And let me clear something up right the hell now: I'm not some "lazy millennial". I'm 33 years old. I'm a medically retired U.S. Navy veteran. I have an excellent resume, three degrees, over 10 years of outstanding technical work experience in both electronics and software. I currently have a good job (not 300k a year good, but "raise a family comfortably" good).

But I stayed at home for the first two years with my son before going back to work roughly a year ago. We're expecting another kid. My wife is active duty. I'll be leaving work to stay at home with the next kid for at least the first year again.

When I was at home I struggled with exactly the feelings you're talking about. Every. Single. Day. I would go out to the grocery store with my son and get looks from the people at work. I had a lot of judgement thrown my way. Being in the military we're already enveloped in a censervative culture, so its the same things you're talking about. "The relationship won't last because its unnatural," or "I would never be able to do that. What kind of a man doesn't provide for his family?" Or whatever else you can imagine. That was my inner monologue. That was what I thought people were saying and thinking about me. The first year was really tough on me. I had to change my definition of masculinity. It didn't matter how much I could squat or bench because my wife "wore the pants."

And its damn lonely. I can't just go spend the day with the "stay at home wives," because what sort of man spends all day hanging out with another man's wife? Regardless of my intentions there, the perception would always be that I'm up to no good. So I stayed out of that.

So what should you do? Probably what I did. Learn that its okay for a man to be kind. Its okay for a man to tell his kids that he loves them. My dad got a bit misty eyed when he first saw me with my kid, because he grew up in a world where men just weren't affectionate. He saw the way I acted around my kid, and the regret of his rigidness covered his eyes. My dad is a very good man. But the only two emotions I learned from him were happiness and anger. And hugs were always awkward growing up. But in watching me, he was set free from a lifetime of what things "should" be.

What I learned about my marriage was even more important. My wife has the utmost respect for me for raising my son. It brought us together once we got over how things "should" be. At first it was hard. The plan was always that she would stay home and I would stay active duty. Life doesn't go the way we plan. We still struggle with what our roles should be sometimes, but what relationship doesn't? And one more thing I learned once I got comfortable with what I was doing. I got a lot of positive feedback from the women I came in contact with regularly. They would all tell me how much they wished their husbands would interact with their kids the way I do. They tell me how lucky my son is. And remember, military culture, so very conservative folks here. And my son is damn lucky. He has two parents that he knows think the world of him. He is bristling with confidence.

But your nephew knows what you're thinking. And it drives him nuts. So talk to him about it. Ask him how HE is doing with it. Because he's learning a new definition of manliness. And its a tough balancing act between the strong father figure, but still needing to be the gentle parent of a toddler/infant. And its a f***ing brutal experience to go through. Once I came to grips with it though, life was good. Life is good. And now I can't wait to leave my job and stay home with the next one, because playing with a baby is the s**t.

And no, his wife isn't some crazy pants wearing girl power feminist. They just made a practical financial decision to determine who would stay home. And it breaks my wife's heart because she feels like a failure in that regard. She struggles with the fact that she "should" be staying at home. But she has a damn good career in front of her. It is far more likely that the look that your nephew's wife is giving you is fear out of what you're thinking of her because she understand's that you don't view their arrangement as "natural."

So if it makes you uncomfortable, talk about it. Because it sure as shit makes them uncomfortable too.

Hm, didn't expect the responses that I did. The main reason I posted this here was that you guys probably tend toward the younger side; and age and time is practically the same as distance, I might as well be living in Antartica. One plus from their relationship is the enormous financial security they have, and which I'm envious of (because I didn't have this during his age). Honestly, in my time we could reasonably expect a house and two cars on a single salary coming from someone with a H.S. degree, this doesn't apply to our current society. So, yeah, maybe I'm out of touch.

I agree with Jumbo, talk to him about it. Just leave out the part about her making eyes at you. Plenty of women out there will make eyes and things but won't actually cross any real lines. If things get to the point where she does, shut her down and then talk to him about it.

I think Jumbo's post is great, but I don't think it'll work for the poster. He's obviously not sensitive enough to the issue, thus the second part of my reply. As for profanity, sometimes the only appropriate response is an expletive -- which is the case here.

Well the OP didn't just charge in like some rhino, so, I think he is a bit more sensitive than you think.

There were many other ways you could have expressed yourself, especially through a medium like text where you have more then a moment to consider how you respond. For instance you could have told him, "I don't think you are sensitive enough to handle the situation and you should just leave it alone."

And all is likely right with the world you just get too fixated on certain facets of my character and gloss over the rest.

The way I see it, we're all friends here. We've all been hopelessly addicted to a MUD for decades. We have a sense of camaraderie that few others get in life.

example: meet stranger at bar in Detroit... "oh, you like the Red Wings?! Me Too!" Never speak again. Meet random person at bar, "Wait.. you're kidding me... you play Gemstone? You're a liar... you're not a liar?! THAT'S AWESOME! Lets get out of here (each going to our own respective houses) and knock out some bounties)" Lifelong friend is made.

As such, someone made point about swearing not being necessary in an adult conversation. Though looking back I think he may have been referring to the "tell that f*** c***..." comments, its still a point.

My friend, who may not have a problem with swearing objectively, has requested that we keep the conversation mature since its a real issue and not just standard videogame message board trolling. I can respect that request.

Still going to swear on other threads. Still going to swear at home. But I can respect the request. Yes, swearing does have its uses. (see here (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-do-we-swear/)) (and here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoalgesic_effect_of_swearing) But I don't see how that is necessary in this context.

Beyond just the massive volume of your blather you consistently ask people to walk you through basic concepts that are readable on the wiki while simultaniously demanding end game details even though you won't get there (on your own) for a couple years most likely. You dive into the political bullshit with gusto and ask the community to comment on your life as though anybody gives a shit about you.

Okay. I see we're now at the inevitable limit of all non-merchant/non-game mechanic posts on the forums which seem to follow this scale:

8220

I bet that felt speciously clever. but your stock graph doesn't account for the original post being a steaming pile at inception. Not to mention that most all answers have been STFU, GTFO, and GFYS from the start.

I'd say the usefulness of the answers have gone up. They hit a high point at "Mind your own fucking business".

Would a bell curve have been better?

And it did feel speciously clever. :)

No, you're like a dog that pisses in the house. We're still rubbing your nose in it so you don't do it again.

My nephew is a 31 y/o who just had a baby. He is what we call a "stay at home dad". Apparently, this is OK and "a thing" especially for lazy ::cough:: sorry, "progressive" millennials now-a-days. His wife is some director for a bunch of hospitals in LA and makes a whopping 300k+ a year, she is apparently OK with this arrangement(and I suspect domesticated my nephew into his current role).Now, I'm not OK with this and ever since his dad died I took on the mantle as some kind of paternal sherpa for Mark. So, I feel like I have some skin in this relationship.

Long story short, whenever I drive down to Venice to their little glass and marble office building they call a home I get this uneasy vibe from my nephew's relationship with his wife. I'm seeing a husband and wife role being completely turned upside down. I sit down in their living room and Mark's serving me drinks and food; she's sitting across from me chatting me up. It was surreal. I see my nephew hunched over on his knees serving mini sausages and she's got this cobra strike eye lock on me like the cunt is sizing me up. I mean I can read her mind, "it's been fun fucking your nephew, wonder how it'll feel when my cocks in you old man."

Anyhow, I really don't know what to say to him. My gut says this kind of relationship can't last; it's unnatural. I wouldn't care too much but they have this boy and it's going to destroy me if he doesn't grow up proper. What can I do? What can I say? Any suggestions?

Introduce your nephew to porn.
