[Age of Reason]

On second thought more than one adult woman in the house with the power of speech could be worse for the man.

My father's mother lived with us when I grew up.

which eventually resulted in two kitchens.

And everyday when my father came home, my mother and grandmother raced to be the first to meet him at the door to complain about the other.

The complaining went on through dinner and until my grandmother finally went early to bed.

I think my father kind of enjoyed it, though.

Still more fun than living alone.

LOL - I can imagine - you're right about living alone - I think our young people would fare much better with more extended family involvement - unless they drive each other CRAZY - there was more of that involvement before the invention of airplane travel and I think it made for a more solid family structure. But I still don't like the idea of polygamy. I'm not even going to mention it to my husband - Lord knows how he'll react - may even join ACLU! :)
