I had a minor hockey dad try to explain my own hockey drill to me and how it could be better. He even pulled up a video on YouTube on his phone to ‘teach me.’ I said ‘Jay, why don’t you put on the skates and come out and show us?’ Him: ‘I can’t skate.’ Ya. Take 17 seats Jay.

When I pointed out to my then husband that the tower he was constructing for the play set for our daughter was upside down he said “you go in the house and do what you know how to do”. Three hrs later he was taking it apart. Two years later we were divorced.

My husband said to me, the woman who worked as a short order cook for 3 years, “Hey do you know the water is boiling on the stove?”, as if I’d not put it there on purpose, or that he thought I couldn’t identify the mystery of this bubbling liquid. I told him to leave the kitchen.
