Is this for real? Is this satire? No way a responsible and sane man acts this way. I was brought up to provide for my family. Same as my Dad, the farm worker. Not ask my wife/ girlfriend to pick up more shifts at work. She should’ve done better. She chose a woman, not a man ..
Wife informs her unemployed husband that she won’t be able to pay the rent for the month. His response? “Can you just do like, overtime or something on the weekends?” Dude doesn’t offer to get a job. He doesn’t offer to help. He tells her to work harder. How do I just know

Keep up the good work, Tony. You’re a great example of a scholar-athlete. Scholar first in the classroom before being an athlete on the football field. One small favor. As a History teacher, aim to get an A- in your third period class. Wishing you the best .. #HighSchool
