*: "My wife and her daughters"

[cally]

I missed previous discussions about this if they occurred. But * didn't say my wife and our daughters. No, the children (grown women) are hers. What does that say about him?

1. someone brought this up last night

but I forgot to ask about it and clarify what he said. Thanks for the reminder! :hi:

[Eloriel]

3. I heard him and I don't think he actually said "her" --

It sounded like a slightly mangled pronunciatin of "our." Not 100% positive one way or the other, but to me it wasn't clear enough to criticize him for it.

5. I just heard a repeat of the clip

Sure sounded like 'her' daughters. I could be wrong but I don't think so. :shrug:

2. did you notice how many times he BLINKED when

he said that he loved them?

pathological liar.

4. I'd bet money that * is one of those swaggering

HE men who wanted to have only boys. It cracks me up (in a good way) when the higher power usually blesses these galoots with girls instead. Sometimes their poor wives have to give birth to up to five baby girls before these bubbas realize that they are destine to "shooting only female" sperm. The rest of their shallow lives they mourn and sigh that they didn't have a boy. Who says God doesn't have a sense of justice and good humor? <g>

6. I feel for the girls in those families

All children are precious and individuals.

10. I am one of those daughters. It's nothing to laugh at.

It's like growing up in Tehran. You're never good enough, you're never right, you're always suspected of being a whore, a nympho, or ugly - sometimes at the same time.

It's hell for the daughters, especially when the father can't keep his f*cking mouth shut about how he deserved a son.

I'm the eldest of 8 - 6 girls and 2 boys, and the boys are step-brothers. That's how my father got his "sons" and he prefers them to all of his daughters.

I can't call it "justice" and "good humor" when 6 lives are made miserable all for the sake of one practical joke from a "loving" and "generous" deity.

I'd call that cruelty.

11. He was probably thinking

"the little bitches stole my pot."

7. I thought he said "her" daughters too

[northzax]

8. for what it's worth

I thought he said 'her' as well, but the closed captioning on ABC (I was in a bar, after all) said "our"

[Kali]

9. Only heard it on the radio

so didn't get to see the blinking but it sounded like "OUR" to me.

12. my dad used to say

that one son is worth four daughters

although I loved my brother (died in 1976) it hurt like hell for daddy to say that
