10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Thank you, nephew. Subject. If it's in the house, it's mine.

11
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: Dear Stephen Shirley. My husband and I have been married

12
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: for eleven years and we have a son. My husband

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: is eight years older than I am, and he has

14
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: old school values and ideas. He is great with our

15
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: finances and I'm not. I spend a lot of money

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: on our child's extra curricular activities and his annual school fundraisers.

17
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: I hate that I have to ask our friends to

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: support our child, and I have to do this single

19
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: handily because my husband won't ever help me. So I

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: use cash that he keeps in the house, or I

21
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: use our credit card. My husband never questioned me. But

22
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: last week I sent our child to school with six

23
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars cash to donate to the fundraiser

24
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: because I don't have time to beg My child came

25
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: home and bragged to his daddy that he raised the

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: most money, and my husband looked at me and didn't.

27
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: I didn't make eye contacts before he could speak. I

28
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: told him we would talk about it later. Before bed,

29
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: he asked me how our child raised the most money.

30
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: I told him I got the money out of his

31
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: safe under the bed. He tried to lecture me about

32
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: stealing money, and I had to remind him that what's

33
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: his is mine and vice versa. If it's in the house,

34
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: it is mine. I also went off on him about

35
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: not supporting our child and leaving after school activities and

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: fundraisers up to me. He told me that's a mother's job.

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: I told him that's exactly why I take whatever I need.

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: My husband hid the safe after that night. Why see

39
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: act like I'm stealing from him? I know I could

40
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: have told him before I took that money, But what

41
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: is the big deal? Well, there is a big deal.

42
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: People do get tired of endless school fundraisers, so I

43
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: get you not wanting to ask people to contribute all

44
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: the time. How selfish is your husband though it's his

45
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: son too. He should support, He should contribute, He should

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: do whatever he has to do for his child. I mean,

47
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: your husband should be teaching him how to earn money

48
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: for school fundraisers and things like that. You shouldn't just

49
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: have to make it so easy for him and just

50
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: take the money or whatever. It's not just a mother's job, though.

51
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: Where did he get that from your husband? What does

52
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: that even mean? I mean, where else can his son

53
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: learn how to be a man but from his dad.

54
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: This is about more than just money in the safe though.

55
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: I think it's about your husband and his I think

56
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: you call them old school values and ideas. You don't

57
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: have to stay in your place as a way, this

58
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: is not just a woman's job. But because you do

59
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: what you do for your son, which does require spending money,

60
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: That's why I guess that's why he doesn't help you

61
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: raise the son. He thinks you have it all under

62
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: control and he doesn't want to be a part of that.

63
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 1: He shouldn't be accusing you, though, of stealing money. It's

64
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: for your son, his son. He doesn't see you as

65
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: a partner. He doesn't see you as an equal, and

66
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: to me, that is a bigger issue in your household,

67
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: in your marriage. That's what you guys need to focus on. Steve.

68
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: I don't agree with the whole assessment, and I'll tell

69
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: you why because I think in this letter what's happening

70
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 3: is I think they're not teaching the son the.

71
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: Right values here.

72
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: If you gonna give him all the money so he

73
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 3: can be the top recruiter or earner at the class

74
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: and he get to come home and brag about he

75
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: gave the most money and everybody, but ain't nobody to

76
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 3: earn nothing? I think we I think we sending the

77
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 3: wrong message to the that's for starters. Now let me

78
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: get into this letter. Y'all been married for eleven years.

79
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 3: He eight years old and you he old schooled. I

80
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: spend a lot of money on my child's extracurriculum activity

81
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: and as annual school fundraisers.

82
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: I understand that.

83
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: I hate that I have to ask our friends to

84
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 3: support our child, and I have to do this single

85
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 3: handing because my husband won't ever help me.

86
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: See them schools.

87
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 3: They got these little pimp systems out here going on

88
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 3: and I think it's unfair to dump this heavy load

89
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 3: on the parents. First of all, schools nowadays have such

90
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: a burden of homework that's due on the children that

91
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: now the parents gotta be participating in the homework. Now

92
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: they come up with these unrealistic fundraisers because these schools

93
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: want to appear like they're providing your child with all

94
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: these wonderful experiences. But then now a lot of these

95
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 3: schools required that the parents gotta pay for all this

96
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 3: extra stuff. Well it's great that y'all coming up with

97
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 3: these ideas, but now you dumping that on the p

98
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 3: and it's already costly enough by the time these parents

99
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 3: pay for school supplies, the parents pay for books, education trips,

100
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: to the school field trips. Now we got to raise

101
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: all this funds these annual school fundraisers. Hold up, hold up,

102
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: what else do the parents got to do? Now it's

103
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: costing them all this money to educate their child, And

104
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 3: I think that's unfair. And now you all have this

105
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 3: pressure that you all put on these students because now

106
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: you all are posting how much each student gills. So

107
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: now this boy, you tie the beg and your friends

108
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 3: and stuff, Like I'm not hey, you want your child

109
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 3: to be you know, super super super kid and all

110
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 3: this here, Hey your baby. Now I've had the experience

111
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 3: cause you know, look, you know people have their little

112
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: girl being Girl Scouts and they come.

113
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: Hey, mister Steve, mister Harvey, Uncle Steve, all this here.

114
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 3: I'm buy a box of cookies from your baby, or

115
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: the whole box, not a box, give me a cart.

116
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 2: Now, get your baby out my face. Okay, I'm bought.

117
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty four boxes or the peanut butter cookies, the

118
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 3: Girl Scout cookies.

119
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 2: Good, they're not that damn good.

120
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: Now come on those then, minutes.

121
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 3: Get your baby, get your fund raising. You know, maybe

122
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 3: your baby ain't gonna make this trip. How about that

123
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: your baby ain't going to the White House. Obama ain't

124
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: in there.

125
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 2: No how so, maybe your.

126
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: Baby ain't going to the White House this year. I

127
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: never went to the White House. I turn out just fine.

128
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 3: I'll be back with more.

129
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: All right, yes you will. We'll have part two of

130
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: these response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour.

131
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: Today's Strawberry letter subject. If it's in the house, it's mine.

132
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening

133
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's

134
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: strawberry letter. The subject is if it's in house, it's mine.

135
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: Well, if it's in the house is yours. Let's get

136
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: into it. The fundraisers at the school. I feel a

137
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: bit unrealistic and unfair to dump that because now you've

138
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: put an extra burden on the parents. I think that's

139
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: too much. And then all parents are under the pressure.

140
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 3: They child not looking good up at the school, but

141
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 3: they post how much each stop child gills. So now

142
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: your child and came home as a top earner. Now

143
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 3: your child was doing an annual fundraising, came home. You

144
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 3: didn't feel like beg and your friends for the money,

145
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: So you done gave this boy six hundred and fifty

146
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 3: dollars cash to donate to the fundraising because I don't

147
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: have time to beg. Then your child came home and

148
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 3: bragg to his daddy that he raised the most money. Well,

149
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: he didn't raise anything. And that's the misconception of the

150
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 3: word part. I think that you all are hurting the child.

151
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 3: You didn't let him go dough to doll You didn't

152
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: let him go you know, sell nothing. You just gave

153
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: the money Okay, he didn't fill out nothing. He didn't

154
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: have to call his relatives or nothing like this. Now

155
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: this boy show up because you didn't feel like begging

156
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: with six pin fifty, your husband looked kind of crazy.

157
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 3: So before Betty asked you how your child raising most money,

158
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: I told him I got the money out the safe

159
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 3: under the bed. Then he tried to lecture me about

160
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 3: stealing money. I had to remind him that what's mine

161
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 3: as mine is versus versa, and if it's in the

162
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: house's mind, and yeah, I agree with what's yours is

163
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 3: yours and what's hers is hers, but then at one

164
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: point it's got to be both of y'all's. So now,

165
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: if you're taking money out the house, that's both our

166
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 3: money you're taking out the house, you do at least

167
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: notify me. Hey, I'm gonna reach up under this safe

168
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna give six fifty for this boy. Now,

169
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: he went on about supporting our child and leaving after

170
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: school activities and front raises up to me. And here

171
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 3: I told him that they leave all this stuff up

172
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 3: to me. He said, that's a mother's job. Well, it's

173
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 3: not a mother's job, it's a parent's position. You can't

174
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 3: dump that on the woman. Dog, that's ignorant. It's your

175
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 3: child too. How that's a woman's job. How's a woman's

176
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 3: job to raise money? Well, then it's your job to

177
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 3: raise money too, then, ain't he somebody got to get

178
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 3: the money. Wait, somebody got to make payments. So that

179
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 3: was unfair of him to say that to you. I

180
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 3: told him that's exactly why I take whatever I need.

181
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 3: My husband hid the safe after that night. And why

182
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 3: does he act like I'm stealing from him? I know

183
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: I could have told him before I took that much money,

184
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 3: But what's the big deal? Well, that's exactly right. You

185
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: should have told him before you took that much money.

186
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: That's almost one thousand dollars. Now you sent your boy

187
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 3: to the school, he come home bragg and I raised

188
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: more money. Then he ain't raised nothing. So now you're

189
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: weaken in the boy in and the position I think

190
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: that you're taking in this is wrong for your child,

191
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: because now you baby and the boy. I think the

192
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 3: pressure they put on y'all is a bunch of bull

193
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: I do that too, but I don't think it's about him.

194
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 3: I don't think it's about him not participating. I think

195
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 3: the husband should participate in this, But I don't think

196
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 3: you all have to participate to the point where you're

197
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: the number one contributed. I think that has to be

198
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 3: a compromise made on your husband's pot. And then I

199
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: think if you had some help from your husband, you

200
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 3: wouldn't feel tired and fatigued about it and all like this.

201
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 3: But your husband has to get involved. He can't blame

202
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 3: it on you. If it's your job, then if you're

203
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: gonna make it her job, then she gonna do it

204
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 3: the way she want to do, and that's reach up

205
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 3: under the safe and get the money.

206
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: Now you hear it? The safe.

207
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 3: I don't know when the house you can hide a

208
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 3: damn safe, but I bet I.

209
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: Can find it.

210
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 3: I'll be all be in that garage. Oh here it work,

211
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 3: Here it work. I ain't gonna hid say it's either

212
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 3: in the garage or the basement. Where are we going

213
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: with this? You know, because I'm gonna hear if you

214
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: if you saw that hole in the wall in that plywood,

215
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna hear that, the sheet rock, I hear that.

216
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 3: And then you got the taping mud and taping bed

217
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: and all that. I will see that. He said now,

218
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: So I just think it's it's a lot going on

249
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 3: hard for rich people to ask for money. It is

250
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 3: it is, boy, because Lord have mercy, they be looking.

257
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,640
