By Jose Dominguez, November 2, 2019 — My son-in-law is a kind of macho man and last February when I was visiting him and my daughter, Bealdy at their home in Houston, Texas, I had a chance to [prove] it.
I was praising my son’s home dealing, because he cooks, cleans the house and does everything necessary because his wife Sasha is a hard-working woman. Then Alex told me, “Suego (father-in-law), Pondro does things that he is not supposed to do.” I was mad about having heard that, that I said, “Just wait a minute, every couple has a very particular arrangement that arrangement never applies to other couples because it is so intimate.” For example,” I said, “My wife Maria and I used to have a very very unique marital arrangement. I guess many people thought that we were strange people because she was so strong and appreciative and I was so easy going, but we were happy and our arrangement never applied to other couples in the same way. Pondro and Sasha have their personal way to live and they are happy and perhaps some people believe he is doing housekeeping so other state proper of the wife but they don’t mind, they are happy and the some with you and Bealdy perhaps some people believe you are a strong couple because they away you live, but I suppose one happy and your arrangement doesn’t apply to any other couple,” and I stopped my comment.
Alex was annoyed about my speech and told me, “Suego, I was not criticizing Poncho, I was just realizing his hard work in a positive way.” And I close the little discussion saying [if] you want to praise a person please use the proper words.
