Lori Alexander 41: The Uninformed Wife

My 42 year old sister-in-law throws tantrums all the time. For things as simple as her parents not watching a television show she told them to watch or going to a restaurant she said they should eat at. Or someone (usually me) bringing food she did not give prior approval for to a family holiday dinner. 

But I think she is the exception, not the rule. 

That sounds quite interesting. And difficult. I hope you don’t have to spend a lot of time with her.

And I said in the post "what I have seen". I did not say "in an analytical survey with a random sample size encompassing all forms of social media conducted over a three month period by professional researchers". So I don't know that you need to pick such a bone with me. 

I also noted that the impression that eating Tide Pods is not a thing is based on two school districts in my immediate area. 
 

I don't understand your reaction either. The baby boomer reference in your initial comment was unnecessary, when actually you were talking about some of your relatives. It was a sweeping comment about baby boomers of which I am one, and the tone was somewhat disparaging.

I don't care for generalizations about any age group, race, religion, none of it. People are individuals and should be judged accordingly in my opinion.

That's all. Not picking anything, not wanting to argue or go back and forth. We all have posts from time to time that somebody disagrees with and that is perfectly fine.

Im not seeing that. However, I looked at her blog post and read the comments, came here to comment, and saw your post. I went back to the post to see what you said, and now the comments to the blogpost itself are gone. 

Oh Lori... if you are monitoring here why don’t you reveal yourself? 

I'm still seeing three posts for March 24th. I took screenshots and put them under the spoilers. Notice that there's no photo.

*edit* my spoilers are funky, sorry about that. All three pics are there.

As a Millennial, I dislike when they group us together so hatefully. 

As a baby boomer I hate it when any group is overgeneralized about and stereotyped.  Especially hatefully.

From this discussion, I guess my nephews and niece are among the older Millennials.  I've never thought about them as such, and certainly they don't fit the stereotype described above of still being overly dependent on their parents.

Yeah, the original comment made me blink too.   This baby boomer had never heard of anyone eating Tide Pods let alone posted about it on social media.  We now know that the survey was only generalizable to @louisa05 's relatives who fall into the baby boomer cohort. :)

For those who have toxic relatives who throw tantrums.  I have one too.  We started putting down strict boundaries with my SIL about 15 years ago.  I wish we had done it much sooner.  Yes, she may be a troubled person with a known mental health dx and "control issues."  However, she doesn't get to throw temper tantrums, be appallingly rude, punch me, and kick the dog.  

We put her on notice and cut her off completely for over 2 years after that one.  She apologized in the end.  These days she is usually very well-behaved although we still walk on eggshells.  If she loses her temper we leave - or she storms out of our house - and she  doesn't speak to us for 3 months or so.  That is fine by me.  We still see her a couple of times a year and would step in to help her if necessary, but life is a lot more peaceful.

Not to speak ill of the dead, but....I saw my MIL throw what I considered a tantrum once.  It was...interesting.

We were visiting the extended family many years go.  We had 4 little kids in tow, everyone was gathered at MIL and FIL's house and we were trying to make plans of things to do while we were in town (from several hundred miles away).  The details are a little fuzzy, but basically when a suggestion came up to do X on Y day, she quickly interjected "no, there's an auction that day!".  Either my husband or my BIL said something like "you can miss one auction for your grandkids."

She proceeded to throw a literal hissy fit.  She explained in desperation that THIS auction was going to have LOTS of quilts and she had. to. go!  She literally stuck her lip out and stomped her feet.  When my FIL gave in and said we'd work around the auction, she did a little happy dance. 

(I loved her and I am forever grateful to her for birthing my soulmate, but...she was a shopping addict and a hoarder.  she chose filling her house with crap over a relationship with my children.  I can't think about it much or I still get angry).

This was a 65yo woman.  Whining and throwing a fit.  It was so bizarre to me I was just speechless (with horror).

Well, we know Lori used to throw tantrums over important issues like cheese-in-a-can. And sometimes (often) when I read her posts I get a mental image of her stomping her feet and yelling, "Because I said so!!!"

I just don't understand why she insists on thinking that all women are exactly like she is.

Well, she does say that you can ask him respectfully to help during tv commercials...

I wonder if this hypothetical husband is tired and depressed at the burden patriarchy puts on men. It’s not a partnership where people support and can lean on each other, but a situation where he has to make all the decisions and if he gets anything wrong it’s all on his shoulders. And his self-righteous Lori-clone wife will never let him live it down.

It seems to be a common theme; at least, I’ve heard it more than once. Fathers in “Leave It To Beaver” families come home from work and veg in front of the TV or computer. The wife has been home all day with the kids and is desperate for relief and adult conversation. The man is her “head” (basically her be-all and end-all), and all he wants is a break and not to talk to anybody because he’s been plunged in social interaction all day long... (at least, if he’s an introvert). Neither one thinks the other has worked as hard as they did that day, hard enough to deserve a break as much as *they* do. Instead of pulling together, the system is set up to pull them apart. It’s hell.

At least if both husband and wife do outside work, that excuse is taken away. Though I still know women who come home from work and still have to do all the stuff at home. (I know a guy,married to an NPD wife, who came home from work and took care of the house and kids, but he was in the minority, I think. Anecdotally, it seems much more common with women.)

Dont misunderstand me; I suffered in a patriarchal system for decades and know too up-and-close its destructiveness of women and girls. Only recently have I begun to understand how it’s not just promoted by control freaks; it also twists decent men into jerks.

Maybe she just thinks all women *have* to be exactly like she is. If they’re not, they need to shape up.

@refugee thank you for your perspective. I do default to my belief that the patriarchy and strict gender role requirements are damaging to girls and women and have not considered that men are negatively impacted. I never stopped to consider that it leads to a very narrow definition of manhood and what that must feel like. It does set the stage for a miserable marriage. 

Her post this afternoon is nauseating.

The main difference between my generation and those born in the 80's and 90's is the free frolicking until the streetlamps came on, nobody's parents were trying to feed any kids but their own unless specifically set up, no computers, phones were attached to the wall, one TV , other parents would discipline us kids and just the semi- feral way we grew up.  Stuff like that. In that regard, I have more in common with my parents than my kids.  I hate my kids don't have those freedoms.  It was fun and shaped us in a different way, not saying better or worse, just different.   I really don't mind being lumped in with millennials but, we really did grow up differently.

How could anyone who proclaims that children are a treasure from the Lord not be worried about school shootings? You got me, but Lori found a way. She always couches issues in terms of Lori vs. the world. There's never any compromise or thinking through with logic. If a "liberal" might be for it then by default it must be against Lori/God. How many people would Jesus shoot?

I threw a grown-up temper tantrum once. My mother was being insanely demanding and I was in and out of her room over and over (there were steps down into her room) and my still healing foot and ankle were screaming. My granddaughters were goofing around and I should have been getting them ready for bed and the kitchen still needed to be cleaned up. The whole time this is going on, my husband was sitting on the couch watching TV. I saw RED and ended up throwing a plate like a frisbee across the kitchen. It shattered into a thousand pieces. That got hubby off the couch and in my face...well, until I got back in his. From that day on he helped me.

I can answer that. No, they certainly would not have. Because those signs would be utterly asinine and reprehensible and completely off point. Ugh. She’s horrible.

Well, Lori; would YOU welcome any of those sign holders with open arms? 

No.  No, you would not. Your snide (and very public) remarks about them prove that. 

Just keep walkin' Lori. The beach is calling and Ken has some lusting to do.

Agreed.  I'm not going to lie though, go for it Lori.  Throw in a BLM one too while at it.  I'm watching and still recovering from flu, still bored.  Those temper tantrums you've mentioned will be there waiting for you out in public Lori!  Get up in that march girl.  Beermeet needs entertainment.

"Dear women, there is nothing more precious than a bouncing baby, beautifully formed, created to depend upon you. They are blessings; whatever your age, whatever your circumstance. And loving them, teaching them, and raising them for the glory of God is incomparable. Our eyes are blinded: we say we are poor or irresponsible when we endeavor to receive all of God's blessings, but rich when their value is undermined for material pursuits."

Bullshit.

@Lgirlrocks Unfortunately, Lori is an unabashed devotee of the Pearls. There's a chapter by chapter analysis of the book on her old blog. There are also descriptions of her preferred discipline tool and her extended "training sessions." She's awful.

It wasn't until reading her that I could actually wrap my head around the whole corporal punishment aspect of fundiedom, or the Pearls, or the Duggars re: the Pearls. I don't want to give her credit for anything but she has sadly expanded my worldview on that subject. :(

Lori and her ilk have made me detest the words "biblical" and "biblically". I'm a Christ follower, but no worshipper of the bible, which strikes me as idolatry. The bible is useful for some things, I do quote it from time to time (I especially love the commandments of Jesus to love), and I enjoy the psalms, but it is not infallible as claimed. I'm troubled that so many churches make it an explicit article of faith that the bible must be deemed perfect, and if you don't believe this, you are some type of heathen.  The trinity consists of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, not Father, Son, and Holy Bible. I'm sure many of my brethren think I'm going to hell because of my opinion, but I don't believe in that either.

The image from the temper tantruming wife reminds me of two images she used in 2017 about angry husbands and angry wives. (from two separate posts) 

What I noticed was the stark difference between the two. The angry husband post had a white and pure looking image while the angry wife was very bold and in-your-face. Even when husbands are angry, it seems like they can do no wrong in her eyes. Women are to bear the impact. However, if a wife is angry she always focuses on how that affects her husband. Women are always viewed as irrational when angry whereas husbands always get a pass.

@KatBonD what a contrast in imagery! Speaks volumes for sure. 

@fluffy part of me wishes she would. But I would want to see a video. She doesn’t have the brain cells or critical thinking capability to successfully engage not does she have the willingness to let go of any preconceived notions. It would be a treat to see that go down!

What a week to miss Lori due to work crazy!

I missed learning that because I work, I'm condemning my children to a miserable life of self-mutilation and sexual perversion. (For the record, I really don't care what my children choose to do once they are grown enough to make those choices as long as they are happy and whomever they are with treats them well.)

I missed learning about black pride from a stuck-up white bitch. I teach in a very diverse classroom (we are 50-50ish) and I would never presume to tell my students how they should feel, even the ones who look like me, but especially the ones who face issues that I never have and never will have to face.

And my favorite, not to rebuke the devil. Me thinks the jealousy is eating Lori alive - no one is reading her books the way Priscilla's are being read and Lori is DEFINITELY not staring in a movie any time soon... Wonder why that is?? :my_huh:

I think she's trying to tell us she's never engaged in erotic sexual techniques, she never will, and the all healthy breakfasts she's made for Ken need to suffice for five minutes and some lube.

      I love baseball but I'm dreading the new season because the White Sox ownership is THE FUCKING WORST. I watched Dominican League Baseball (Lidom!) over the winter and fell in love with their joy, spirit, and exuberance. The broadcasts were in Spanish and my Spanish is pretty weak but I loved catching phrases and repeating them. Bombe! I'm sad about MLB and Commissioner Idiota's busywork rules. But I love baseball, always and forever.
      I guess I don't have a point. Just bitching. Te amo mucho, Lidom!

      Feeling ragey this morning. I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon in the hope of getting help for an ongoing injury. I went to a (different!!) doctor late last year who completely blew me off. He wouldn't do diagnostic testin, he refused to send me to a specialist, and he just told me to "take it easy" and "take ibuprofen." I'm hopeful for today's appointment but I'm also feeling a SEVERE amount of rage at that doctor from last year!
