This is a good thread. I feel like it would be better if ppl came to me with their problems and then have me give the .sleepycatgif answer to resolve the issue. It's been a walk in the park so far.

Call it Gator and me

1. Listen and then respond. Some ppl are just too damn prideful when it comes to a decision and/or little spat.
2. Make more $ than her. They respect you more and it's hard for them to say no to something you want. (Just being silly here. She's pretty great about giving me everything I want. She knows I don't ask for a lot)
3. Put your foot down from time to time. Sometimes you've gotta say no. 3 year olds friend of a friends bday party, a new shiny car, etc. Lets use sense in these matters. At the same time, she's helped me a lot with my faults. Listen to her, she knows some things too.
4. Get off your ass and do something around the house. I've taken for granted how many things she does for us. When she leaves town, i'm kinda like "eff!". Laundry, dishes, house stuff, etc. I've been spoiled. Trying to get better.
5. Compliment them and say thank you as much as you can.

These are generally in the bathroom, not bedroom.

maybe i have a really open floor plan, ever heard of that one stan?

What's great right now is I made sure she got her own princess room and the other guest bedroom is pretty much my room with a tv and the woks in case I can't sleep during the week (this happens from time to time and I don't want to keep her up by watching tv in bed. I'm like that child on big daddy rolling around on newspapers when I can't sleep). We have plenty of space at the new house which is great. We'll just have to adjust as our family grows down the road. She made sure the downstairs was pretty much a sports zone for me for the big games too. :cheers:
-
You have 3 bedrooms?
1. Master bedroom that you share
2. Princess bedroom for a grown ass woman
3. TV bedroom for Wacky
-

1. Master bedroom that you share
2. Princess bedroom for a grown ass woman :lol:----- Baby room
3. TV bedroom for Wacky---- Guest bedroom
Pretty much, but what these rooms will really look like in the end is this. ^

man, once the first lil wacky comes, i wonder who is gonna give up their "fun" room
-
She can have mine. I've got the downstairs. :D

A lot of people waste money on spaces they use very little (unfortunately this includes me). Pools, outdoor living areas, basements with bars, pool tables, and theatres all sound like must haves but rarely if ever get used. Invest in badass kitchen hearth areas, and master suites, that’s where it’s really at. My next house will be much smaller with a fraction of the taxes, insurance, and utilities. The space will be the most efficiently badass use anyone has ever seen.

Boring. My next house is going to be a mansion with a theater room, pool/hot tub combo with cabana, game room, man cave etc.

I use all of that crap in my house at least 3 times per week. I don't have a pool, so that one doesn't count.
-
yeah who wants a badass outdoor living/bar area, when you can just dump some gravel there for a fraction of the cost?
-
I will admit that my PS4 doesn't get enough work in my man cave, but I like my wife too much, so I hang out with her upstairs when there's not a game on. When she's out though and there's nothing on.... Fortnite! :love:

Wacky, what would you do if you moved half way across the country for a job and your wife constantly talks about wanting to move back to Texas?
Asking for a friend and I’ll take your answer offline.

Great question bud! I'd say we talked this through before moving and you were all in (maybe acted all in, but not my fault) and say we agreed to this. Ask her to give her all for another year and if it doesn't work out, we'll regroup. Lived in 5 states growing up, but plea to her to give it a shot first.
-
I will let my friend know. Thanks, Wacky!
Go Cats!

Texas is like Louisiana 2.0 it floods a lot and you have Tornados and Hurricanes to worry about.

What is a "Princess Room"?

Basically, it's a place for your wife to do her hair and makeup and have tea parties with her stuffed animals.

Nailed it.

Minus the bed and more dressers and closets.
-
Eh. Just get a double vanity and two WIC for the master bath.
-
We've got two bathrooms extended to our master bedroom. So we kinds already have that, but she's got more room and a bigger mirror in her room. it's all good. We really don't need that room for anything right now anyways.
-
what you're saying is, she gets the master bathroom and you get the tiny hallway bathroom that's right by your bedroom.
-
No she uses the tiny one and then goes into our spare bedroom to get ready after she's done showering. I get teh bigger side of the bathroom with the shower and stuff. I get ready in like 5 minutes everyday anyways.
-
do you actually refer to it as the Princess room?
"Honey, have you seen my keys?"
"Yeah they're in the princess room"
-
Haha. Not really. She's mad I called it the princess room on here. :Keke:
BTW, I'm getting kicked out of my own house on Friday night. :curse: She's got a girls weekend with her college friends in town. 8 of them drinking and playing with my puppies on Friday night. They'll be in Lawrence on Saturday. I guess i'll go hang with my folks or something. :curse:
-
are you allowed to sleep there Friday? Why don't you just go hang in the guest room
-
I mean, 9 females in a single house, i'll let them have the beds. Probably gonna setup a spy cam to see what really goes down at these things. Mrs. Wacky did try to get me a flight to go see my friend in LA so I could have fun too, but my bud is actually in town this week. I'm just trying to make it more convenient for them. Also, I could use a day off from Gator. He's rough ridin' my hands up.
-
so you can't even sleep there?
-
Cuck'd straight outta the house.
Damn

I mean I could, but why would I? She'll owe me after doing this favor anyways. Also, whenever my buds are in town, they always stay with us, so why wouldn't I, you know?

:thumbs: I'll be fine. Might belly up and play some poker at Hollywood.

WC how are things going overall?
-
Pretty great, bud! She's got extreme baby fever and i'm not gonna lie, it's weird. Not to get all :fatty: but I've tried so hard my whole life not to get someone pregnant, that trying to do so feels weird. I'm not ready yet, so i'm kinda staying away these days, but that's not nice of me either.
-
have you discussed names?
-
Breck is a big one. Because we got married there. She wanted to name gator sol because we met there. She's got a whole list of them.
-
Breck is going to land you straight in the white people name thread
-
:lol:
Speaking of, who names their freaking kid Heath? People who hate their kids?
-
WC in your time as a married man, what's been the most difficult adjustment?
-
Feeling like I have to go to every freaking family function on earth. I know I married into a big family, but it can be over whelming at times. She's a planner and I like to be spontaneous. Those two types of ppl can butt heads a lot. I hate having to feel on 24/7/365. For some reason I tried to play naive and thought it would calm down over time. It definitely has not.

almost every guy loses the family calendar to his wife and that is why you need to get a beer league softball, kickball, season tickets to the cats/royals/chiefs or whatever so something else is on the calendar and you have the built in excuse to miss out on a few things

He plays a lot and he goes for the hands. Obviously I say no and slap his snouzer, but sometimes he still gets in there.

make sure your homeowners ins knows about that thing because it is going to snap and maul a neighbor kid
-
why on earth would you want a pet like that
-
puppies bite, it's normal. wackycat, slapping his muzzle probably isn't the best way - the dog can interpret that as a type of play, especially a big dog with a high pain threshhold that likes rough play. if he's very play motivated, just withdraw from playing. if he's more normal, i've had good luck with catching the muzzle and holding it trapped for long enough that he realizes he doesn't like that.
most pups pretty much grow out of it on their own, but you do want to give consistent negative feedback to help it do so - especially since your dog looks like it might have some pitbull or something like that in it.
-
Thanks SYS! :thumbs:
-
Puppy teeth are sharp af too
-
Yeah, they really are. He's gotten better the last few days. We got him a rope to play tug of war with so he can waste some of his energy doing that.
-

They were going to kill the poor thing. We'll get him on track. We'll probably take him to a school one of these weekends.

I know, right? :love: I also love his ears so much. They flop around like crazy. :ROFL:
We've bought him a bunch of raw hides and bones. That seems to keep him pretty busy.

You should buy him a bag of pizzle sticks for him to chew on, rather than chewing on you.

Yeah, you definitely want to nip that crap in the bud. Sys gives sound advice and techniques. I'm with Sys too on the slapping the muzzle thing but I have had good luck with a good solid finger flick right on the end of the nose.

Good stuff, guys. Mrs Wacky holds the nuzzle and it definitely helped for her. He cuddles with her, but just wants to play with me. Like all the time.

Holiday weekends are land mines. Wacky how was the family balance past few days?
-
It was pretty great. Mrs wacky was in Lawrence all day on Saturday so I hung with my folks, guncles, and my cuz for an early Easter. Then her hungover ass got back in town around noon yesterday and only made me go to her families Easter for an hour. Neither of us were in great shape, so I only had to spend an hour of faking it yesterday. :surprised: :emawkid:
Every mexican spot was closed down yesterday so mrs wacky and i ended up at on the border yesterday for lunch, because neither of us felt like Easter food yesterday. Totally chained it up.
How was your weekend cf3?
-
It was nice. Eggs were hidden and found
-
I love going to her families Easters because everyone gets an egg with $20 in it. :love:
-
You have to hunt for it?

In the past we had to and I was the nooby so they'd put mine in a tree or on top of the roof or something to haze me but now they know how big of a deal I am and they just hand it to me now. That's what I thought Grandpa!
