Another example of the idea that men have no will power and it’s the woman’s responsibility to take care of him as if he were a 5-year old. Why is it the wife’s responsibility to watch his diet? Isn’t he an adult — one who was capable of earning a living and handling machinery and tools? This isn’t the 1800s, when women cooked all day because everyone ate at home. This is the 21st century, a time of fast foods, coffee shops, a grocery-story-in-every-gas-station, many, many restaurants, and online shopping. It doesn’t really matter if the wife does cook good, healthy meals, hubby can get his sugar-junk-food-fix any time: when he gasses up the car, meets friends for coffee, or when he goes online — overnight delivery is such a convenience.
My maternal grandmother was a short, very slim woman. She died first of all my grandparents. My paternal grandmother died next to last of same – and she was an eater and a heavy woman.
What scares me is that I suddenly realized that I am now older than my dad, 3 of my grandparents ( maternal grandfather lived into his 90s), all 3 of my parents siblings, and one cousin who was much younger than me – ever got to be! With the exception of my maternal grandfather and my mom – the past generation died long before my age! A bit scary – especially since I tend to take after dad’s side. Mom is still alive at 95.

My Dad, God bless him, lived to 97. He really enjoyed chocolate covered raisins. Mom gave him a pass because that kept him regular!

And very likely she keeps up the life insurance payments.

From the depiction, she’s a day late and a dollar short (fortunately). Being a good cook doesn’t help the situation either.

She just cares about your health big boy so she doesn’t have to play nurse to your diabetic lifestyle later.
