That is very considerate of you Mike. I’m sure your wife appreciates that.

I know what you mean. I do, however, tell my wife that, when she arrives home each day, she should relax and worry about nothing. She deserves that after a long day at work.

Have a great Wednesday (and Thursday, too).

Cubans and Puerto Ricans are alike in that we watched our moms do it all (my mom worked), and everything was organized, neat and disciplined. And yeah, on top of all that was the notion that we had to be *good* wives.

Given all that, we have no choice but to have high, unrealistic expectations! You’re definitely not alone there!
