sitting issues

[Pleater]

Scots tend to recline rather than sit upright in chairs or on settees - just thinking back over the men I have known well enough to be at home with, the further North they were born the less likely they were to sit in what could be thought of as the usual manner.

I kinda finally figured it out, mostly, and then my wife refuses to go out of the house with me in a kilt. I'm standing there hungry and she's in her pajamas refusing to get dressed until I change. F'in A man. Maybe after a day at the ren fest with me in it she'll change her mind, but geeze.

So change. When she comes out of the bedroom in pants, refuse to go anywhere with her while she's dressed like that.

That doesn't work with her. She can go all day without eating, two days if she eats popcorn. (Which there is a lot of in the cabinet.)

Her reason was that she said she doesn't care if it's me and her or just me or me and the kids, but not all four of us as a family. Of course, I'm kinda thinking she might change her mind after we go to the ren fest and she spends a day with me in it.

Well I hope you were kind enough to bring her a doggie bag when you came home from supper.

Well, ya know the old joke that can be adapted to fit the situation:

"My wife said that she'd leave me if I bought another kilt."

"Gee, that's too bad..."

"Yup...I'm gonna miss her..."

Yeah, I am thinking of getting a Black Watch kilt next time we go to the Ren fest, (not as cheap as Stillwater, but since I can try it on there...) that way I have one that looks more 'traditional' kilt like, which may help her out a bit.

While my wife seems indifferent about the kilts, I have a couple that are friends of ours and the wife just can't stand it when I show up in a kilt...the husband is skeptical and has stated that he thinks that if a kilt is tartan and red, it looks more like a "real" kilt and less like a skirt. For some folks it has to be tartan or they just can't wrap their minds around it. While I don't have a contemporary kilt and prefer tartan, I still figger that the Utilikilt-type things look fine on most guys and actually should appeal to a whole lot more younger fellas than the tartan. Yo' mileage may vary, as they say...

Ironically, she listed all the times she wouldn't mind me wearing a kilt, just not as a family, on our family day. She thinks we have enough problems as it is being Pagan, let alone the additional issues the kids would end up with having me in a kilt. Of course, She doesn't realize that the oldest may end up kilted by next spring, because I didn't tell her that yet...

It's the other way around with my wife. She gets mad if for some reason, I decide not to wear a kilt (she even has her friends complain about it.)

Back to the topic. I only wear a tank so I cannot comment on the other kilt products. I found after a bit of practice sitting down and sweeping the pleats, it became second nature. If for some reason I didn't get it right the first time, I just stand up slightly (just enough to clear the chair) and reposition the pleats.

Was she like that when you met, IE were you wearing Kilts back then as well?
