He grew up in Erie so he knows snow and lake effect. We got clobbered this weekend (as we’ve had numerous times in the past). It kills me that he tried to do it all by himself until he couldn’t then asked the girls to help. He only asked them for help once he had to come inside and I told them to do it.
What is it with men who refuse to ask for help? Granted, I couldn’t help (been there done that for years and I’m done, lol but couldn’t now even if I wanted to). But we have four young, able bodied kids who could and did help. He didn’t have to be out there doing the toughest work. They came in sore yesterday and today. It’s hard shoveling snow with high winds and today with 2’ on the ground. Teens and twenty somethings sore but a 50 yr old man with high blood pressure thinks he can do it all by himself. Ugh.
But four able bodied kids let a 50 y.o. guy shovel for four hours because he didn't ask? And then let him shovel again the next day?
