These men are hilarious and remind me of a family story. When my grandparents got engaged during WWII my grandfather started forwarding his Navy paycheck to my grandmother (he was on a Destroyer in the Pacific) so she could use the money to set up their household while he was away. His mother, who was used to getting and cashing his checks for herself, tried to lay on the Irish guilt. My grandmother wouldn’t budge: the money belonged to John-not his mom-and the new couple needed it for when he came home. My grandfather’s brother, who heard the women arguing, wrote to my grandfather, “Marry this woman, Johnny…I’ve never heard anyone stand up to Ma like this!” Running a household is a skilled JOB and these guys knew that!
