@cardamoncoffee Weeeell ... I told them that loose fitting condoms are available online. They did not listen. They reacted as if was intruding on their deep privacy.
This is what happened next ... on the day my first brother's third child was born ... The obstetrician gave him a big box of condoms in the maternity ward. I think he was slightly taken aback by the situation he and his wife had created, as ... shortly afterwards ... he went and accomplished a vasectomy.
As for my second brother ... they have not had a fourth in the last 11 years or so, ... so I think that he has since discovered the loose fitting condoms section on Amazon.
My heart has never stopped being squeezed ever since.
As for my Dad, several decades ago, I told him directly. You are making a "fool of yourself with that woman". He just stared at me blankly.
On another occasion under trully horrendous circumstances that I will not go into here. I was very upset. He mentioned some people who had married other women. So why does my Mum not want him to marry another woman. I had not even mentioned My Mum. It was me and him, at the other woman's house.
To which the the company driver had driven me, without my knowledge of where the driver was driving me too. I had gone to get some money from him on the way back to my university. But I had no idea that's where he was. I had never been there before.
When he saw that I was not at all impressed with the calibre of said people. He said that even Abraham, Joshua, Jacob, Solomon, etc
(these characters are from the Old Testament for those who may not be aware) had many wives. So why could he not marry another woman?! I was gobsmacked and flabbergasted, I did not even know what to say. I could not believe that these words were coming out of my Dad's mouth. I still liked my Dad back then.
In due course two extra children arrived. Sooner rather than later, my dad said he felt like running out of the country ...
My heart has never stopped being squeezed ever since ...
