Am I the only Fuddy Duddy?

[Janderso]

My wife says, I wish we could do something for New Year's Eve.
I say, I thought Sarah and Jake are having a big party.
They are but I don't feel comfortable going by myself.
I say, never stopped you before.

See, to me, New Years eve is a day to stay home and go to bed at a normal hour.
To my 69 year old wife it's a very special day that needs a party!!

So, she has a dilemma, not me

Hey, for Christmas I pulled the trailer out of storage to go stay at Laguna Seca and Monterey. Had a great dinner at sunset, ya da ya da.
I thought I was being a good sport. A week later she wants more........?????

I thought Sarah and Jake are having a big party.

My idea of a party, these days, is shooting the poop with a couple of guys around a game of snooker. Can't say my wife thinks the same. They seem to have a defective gene.

They always want more….

In the interest of keeping the peace, a small gesture on your part could be important to her, and may be appreciated.
If she doesn’t ask for much-why not put yourself out for one evening?
You may even have a good time.

Just another day now. It used to be another excuse to go drinking.

That is a tough one Jeff. My SO has her girlfriend’s that she has get togethers with and my concession is I go elsewhere for those. Neither of us likes crowds and especially parties as we don’t particularly like being around drunk people and a room full of drunk strangers is absolutely the worst. So I guess that makes me a Fuddy Duddy if that is the definition.

I am with you Jeff. I am partied out. After having to work New Years Eve partys for 30 years I want to stay home now that I am retired.

I'm with you. It's a night for the amateurs. If you need to celebrate that you made it another year than go for it. I don't. I'm with you, it's just another day. I have almost been killed by the drunk drivers on New Years, so I'm more a stay at home, and avoid the idiots..

I have to work all night...

If only people would skip the midnight fireworks, I'd sleep a lot better. Yep, I'm a fuddy-duddy. And even if she didn't have a broken leg to nurse, my wife is happy to be home with me.
