Now hey all. Not all wife’s are like that. Hubby and I have been married 31 years and I do not act that way. Why should the wife have to do all the work? We have our fun times. My hubby stays home not doing much, retired, me trying to get work, on-line studies and I go outside and walk. Our children are unemployed adults. No grandkids except for two dogs who act like children and a independent cat.
Once the kids have left the nest, the maternal instinct to improve and correct becomes focused on guess who ?I’ve known many women " of a certain age" treat their spouses like they were 10 year olds. And hubby starts to act that way.
My thoughts throughout this arc has been, someone has to be the adult and do the work. Another thought – people are different and enjoy different things. Opal enjoyes sewing and crafts. That’s fun for her, not for a little boy.

I feel the same, too busy being the mature adult to have any fun. If I do have time to just have fun, would I be any fun?

Opal is a sad, miserable, old lady pushing everyone away by bossing them like a tyrant.
