Every Week Until Thanksgiving 2021...

...I am Posting This Blog Post on Twitter & Facebook.

Because in the 2021st year of our Lord Jesus Christ we are still having the "Fix That Man's Plate/He Got Hands" discussion. Because in the 2021st year of our Lord Jesus Christ couples are not having the "Make My Plate" discussion. Because in the 2021st year of our Lord Jesus Christ people are getting on social media to embarrass the person who didn't make their plate or wanted them to make their plate. Like this Twitter handle right here. (I got this screengrab from another public account because the man deleted it and went private. He got the attention he thought he wanted. And it became too much. That's My Guess.)

AND I AM TIRED OF IT!!!

Every 4-6 months and especially around the holiday times, this issue comes up.

I know I have said it on this platform (HERE it is) that I grew up in a home where my grandmother fixed my late grandfather's plate except during family events and when she was too ill to do so. During family events, plates are made for first-time visitors, children under the age of 10 & the elderly. All others make their plates. If someone makes a plate for their significant other, they make it in peace. There is No Fuss. No grandmothers, aunts, sisters, cousins, or friends tell any lady that they need to make any adult, regardless of gender a plate. The "Who makes a plate for a husband or boyfriend" has never been a discussion in my family.

But that is my family. All families are different. The Rules are Not Universal. I think it is wise for all couples (dating, committed, or married) to have a conversation about plate preparation (at home, with family, with friends, with business associates, etc). Shouldn't expect actions for something that is not talked about. And I beg of y'all to talk about these things because the public conversation is tiresome. 

It's a Conversation is About Respect.

So respect your relationship & the public and learn. Because it is disrespectful to my brain cells to see some variation of the plate conversation pop up all the daggum time. Oh and if anybody who wants to make me a plate, remember hot food & cold food belong on separate dishes. And unless it is lasagna or a sandwich, no bread, please. 

Thank You!!!

And As Always Talking to You in Adult Terms!
