<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Dr.Dudd</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Would you believe that for years she told her father that I hated her??

Simply because I treated her like any other citizen.
Yes he told the whole wedding reception this.
And that was the first time I was hearing this.
I can't forget the look on her face, before she tried to hide.

Yes that was our wedding.

That was some interesting start...

He said he thought he understood her. . Until she told him she was going out with the 'boy' that hated her.
He said she thought she was crazy.
then when she told him we are getting married (only after short while)
He said he thought that <span style="font-weight: bold">he was going crazy and hearing things.
She probably still think I hate her,after all these years. </div></div>

Wow- congratulations on your 26 years! So most men were falling over your wife, but you treated her like a 'regular' person? Was/is she really beautiful? How did you make her aware that you *dont* hate her and how long was the courtship?

Yes they pay me with their own money
Nice family.
</div></div>

The family all use you as a 2nd opinion and when they do, they pay you for a regular office visit? So its not like you get asked health questions at the family dinner and you have to give advice for free?

So if the person with the duty did not perform the function falls on responsibility.

and Who see it do it.
There is no reason to argue because that is understood.
For instance, I was the one that fed the babies an night when they were small.
as a result my kids tend to come to me first, before they go to their mom. She was hurt about it for a while. that was until I explained the mechanics

It works for me.
I would have to ask her if it does for her too.

Yes i never speak for her unless she can't. </div></div>

Great team work! Wouldnt you say that your (very healthy) attitude about responsibility in the home, is *not* traditional thinking for Jamaican men? (I cant think well enough to get away from the double negative )

How were/are you viewed by others (men in particular) for this position?

<span style="font-style: italic">
I was into music and she had her father buy a guitar.
i don't think she ever play it other than when she ask me to teach her.
we still have a number of keyboards and pianos, and she still is not able to play more than a part of some church songs.
She spend as much time with my sister as me during what was supposed to be the courtship period.
She use to say &quot; As I said hello, you would say Goodbye&quot; the problem is that I did not even know she had special interest. since i had the same reaction to most young women. Her nickname for me was &quot;hi and bye&quot;</span>

<span style="font-style: italic">you crazy, i learn thi long ago. Free advice is as valuable as what it cost the person getting it. And they pay it equal regard to the value. And i believe it. No health questions outside of my office. i have an office at home too for convenience.
One can't be too busy to make some money. </span>

IN my family men do whatever is to be done in the home just as the women do. We are from a business family. So at the factory, store oif office, just about anybody will do what is needed to make the customers happy.
we even try to make the workers happy too.
which is rare in Jamaica. I had problems with the business sector because i treated my workers different from their set rules. Yes there is a set rule in Jamaica. .
Both parent would help out although we had paid help at home.
it is as simple as it is still their responsibility, although the duty is the workers. that is a rule I grew up living by.

Doc, you sound like you were shy. But clearly your future wife was smitten by you. Congrats on 26 years of marriage
