Thank you nephew. Subject 10 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: Yams and cookies are always available. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm 11 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: writing you in hopes that my nieces and my sister 12 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: in law hear this letter on the air. My brother 13 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: is forty and his wife is thirty six. They have 14 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: a seventeen year old daughter and a fifteen year old daughter. 15 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: They started having children in college and then got married 16 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: seven years ago. My sister in law is sweet spie, 17 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: but she's an airhead. She loves to complain about how 18 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: my brother took her youth by getting her pregnant. She 19 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: loves to say he's the reason she missed hanging out 20 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: and clubbing when he was in her When she was 21 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: in her twenties. She blames him for the way she 22 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: acts now. She and my nieces dressed inappropriately, and it's 23 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: okay for the girls to do it, but it looks 24 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: crazy for their mother to dress like them with her 25 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: butt breasts and cookie squeeze into tight athletic wear. They 26 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: order matching clothes online and do each other's hair and 27 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: make up when they go out. My sister in law 28 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: is their best friend, and she goes to rap concerts 29 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: and parties with them. My brother recently called me to 30 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: complain yet again about how they dress. He said he 31 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: doesn't like how his wife has her yams and cookie 32 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: on display to the public, but he can't seem to 33 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: get through to her. He feels like she is a 34 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: bad influence for his daughters because she makes them do 35 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: squats to get firm yams, which is nice thighs and 36 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: a tight behind. Why is she teaching that to a 37 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: fifteen year old? In my opinion, she's living through her teenagers, 38 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: who both look a lot like her. I've talked to 39 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: my nieces about how they dress, and they said everyone 40 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: is doing it. Like I said, it is almost okay 41 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: for teenagers to do it, but not my sister in law. 42 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: How can he get her to cover up her yams 43 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: and cookie? What advice can you give? You? Know, I'll 44 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: give you this. You're right in a sense, you know. 45 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: I mean, she's only thirty six, she's still fairly young. 46 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: But she's not her daughter's friend. She's their mother and 47 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: they you know, they want a mom now. They have 48 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: plenty of kids their own age, I'm sure, and your 49 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: brother in law, her husband is not the blame for 50 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: the way she acts. This is all on her. She 51 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: can't blame it on anyone. And what I can say 52 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: to you is we got to get this out of 53 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: the way. Okay, you're very protective of your brother, but 54 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 1: truth be told, you don't like your sister in law. 55 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: You really don't care for her. You called her a 56 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: sweet airhead. Okay, that's what you called her. But I 57 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: got to ask you, why are you all up in 58 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: their business? I mean, I know you said your brother 59 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: called you, but I think he was just venting. Sis, 60 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: He was just venting. This is not for you to 61 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: get all involved in. I know you think you're trying 62 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: to help, but they're going to end up, you know, 63 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: the brother and the sister if they stay together, and 64 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: it looks like they probably are gonna stay together. They're 65 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: gonna resent you for this. They're gonna resent you because 66 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: they are still married. And I can believe that as 67 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: a man, he doesn't appreciate his wife going out showing 68 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: her stuff. I mean what husband would really, But he 69 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: has to figure out a way to tell her, not you. 70 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: So you need to tell your brother that he needs 71 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: to call her and talk with her about this. I mean, 72 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: I know he's tried before, but he's got to try harder. 73 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: He's got to try. I mean, you're the sister, You're 74 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: here for your brother and all of that. But you know, 75 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: thirty six is still very young and I'm sure she 76 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: can hang out with women her own age. She's beautiful 77 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: the way she is. You got to tell her all 78 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: that she should stop trying to be something that she's not. 79 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: She's not a teenager. If you really think she's sweetest pie, 80 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: why don't you try to get to know her better, 81 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: and why don't you try to, you know, be her friend, 82 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,119 Speaker 1: take her out to lunch and stuff like that, so 83 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: maybe she'll see that there is some value and her 84 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: being herself and not blaming her husband and trying to 85 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: hang out with her fifteen year old kids and seventeen 86 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: year old kids. Tommy, you know this is this is 87 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: kind of sensitive because a guy can't just go off 88 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: on his wife about what she's wearing. So it's it's 89 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: it's kind of hard. I don't even know, as you know, 90 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: as you know, I've been married forever, and it's a 91 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: different way you gotta approach this in order to have 92 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: you because you gotta still respect your wife. And if 93 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: it's if it's if you're looking for her to do 94 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: something different, then you just you know, there's a way 95 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 1: to talk to your wife and tell her what looks 96 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: good because you want to. I'm me personally, my wife 97 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: dress dressed beautiful to me, she dressed classy, and I 98 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: like it. You know, I'm not going through my wife 99 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: yams and cooking they all out you're But as the 100 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: lady who wrote us to letter, I personally think, why 101 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: don't you because this really don't hand nothing to do 102 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: with you, But why don't you just set an example 103 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: for all three of them, for the nieces as well 104 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: as your sister in law, because you evidently know what 105 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: what class he is, You evidently know how you should 106 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: how they should be uh presenting themselves and they're not 107 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: doing it the right way. But I don't know if 108 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to change that. And I'm worried 109 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: about the brother more than I am about you, because 110 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: this really ain't your business.

The 146 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: brother is forty and The brother has a problem with 147 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: his wife, who's thirty six, and the way she dresses. 148 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: She tries to dress like her young daughters, and her 149 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: teenage daughters at that who are fifteen and seventeen. They 150 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: do each other's hair and makeup. The thirty six year 151 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: old is squeezing into clothes that are inappropriate for a mother. 152 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: And she's thirty six, she's still young, but she dresses 153 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: how her teenagers dress, and the husband wants her to 154 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: dress more age appropriate, and you know, not to have 155 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: all her stuff hanging out when she goes out. He 156 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: doesn't like that for his wife.

He's venting to his sister about how his 160 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: wife dresses.
