Speaker 2 (00:18):
Muggle up, hold on type, We got it before you
Here it is Strawberry Letter.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Thank you nephew. Subject she brings nothing to the table.
Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm sixty eight years old and I'm
still raising a forty three.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Year old daughter.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
My wife and I let her move in with us
when she got pregnant six years ago, and we won't
let her move out until she feels like she can
handle herself and her child by herself. She has always
been bad with money and she doesn't like to work.
She's had at least ten jobs in the last ten years,
and it is never her fault when she's let go.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
It's always someone else's fault.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
She's had a few affairs with her coworkers, and each
one of them was either marry or had a living girlfriend.
I sat my daughter down years ago before she turned forty,
and I told her that she was aging out of
the quote kept woman age range. See, she didn't know that.
My wife and I knew what she had been doing
for years. She wasn't selling herself, but she was getting
(01:19):
money in return for being arm candy or good in bed.
I hate to say it, but she had a reputation
when she was younger for only dating men with nice
cars and lots of cash.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I get it because that's how I met her mother.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
My wife didn't bring anything to the table, but she
was beautiful and she had one of the best bodies
I had ever seen. I almost went broke when I
met her. Now that my daughter is older, I want
her to realize that it's close to impossible that she
will find a man her age that will spoil her.
I might be wrong, but it seems like men nowadays
want a woman that is bringing something to the table,
(01:54):
so to speak. My wife and I have been married
for almost forty five years. Some advice on how to
convince our daughter to stop waiting for a rich king
to take care of her. Should we let her go
figure it out on her own? Well, you said it
in this very last sentence. Let her go figure it
out on her own. She's old enough to be doing
(02:16):
just that. You guys got to stop enabling her.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
You have to.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Your daughter has absolutely no incentive, no reason to stop
doing what she's doing. Why because she knows that mom
and dad will always come to her rescue and bail
her out. Because that's what you guys have been doing.
It's true. I mean, you've been proving that her whole life.
Your forty three year old grown daughter has no idea
what it takes to actually have to work and say
(02:43):
to pay for the things she wants, because you guys
haven't allowed her to do that. I'm glad you set
her down a few years ago and had a talk
with her, but she still didn't listen. She's still doing
the same things. And how crazy is it that you
her father can say that she got her men and
their money because she was good in bed. I think
that's too much information to know.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
About your child.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Tell her you know you'll help her, help her find
some help with her kid, with your grandchild. But her
free ride is over and she's got to get a
job and keep it so she can take care of
herself and her daughter.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Steve, this letter has a lot of statements in it
that if you type the statements, if you type this
letter to us or emailed it to us, you know
you had to have read some of this. The subject
is she brings nothing to the table. Okay, that right
there alone. Let's just start with the subject. Okay, and
(03:44):
now here we go. You're sixty eight years old and
you're raising a forty three year old daughter.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Let's pump the brakes right there.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
You're still raising a forty three year old person, boy, girl,
anybody you're still raising a forty three year old at
forty three.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
You should be fully grown at this point. Oh, you'll
still have a few lessons to learn, but with a child,
you are fully grown. Once you have a child, you
got to grow up right quick because it's on you period.
So we just did. We got two statements. Then you
(04:31):
let her move in with y'all when she got pregnant
six years ago, and then you say you won't let
her move out until we feel like she can handle.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Herself and her child by herself.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Wait a minute, she forty three, How she can't handle
herself by herself? You know, look, and she ain't got
to because you all are enabling her. But now here's
another crazy ass statement. See, bruh, when you type this
(05:07):
letter to me, the statements that you were making, and
they come often and quick. In this letter, you said,
she's always been bad with money. I know a lot
of people still bad with money in they sixties. And
she doesn't like to work. Wait, hold way, amen, holtal oh,
(05:31):
hold thof. I got you don't like to work. I
understand that. I think everybody gets a little tired over
that sometimes.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Even us. Even if you have a job that you enjoy,
you still get tired of going to it sometimes, don't you.
I got that. But the arching statement you're making is
she don't like to work.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Well, let me ask you what she do like? Do
she like groceries? Does she like how do she like transportation?
Does she like clothing? Do she like restaurants? How about
(06:14):
McDonald's fish sandwiches. I'm just trying to find something she
like because in order to acquire any of.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Those things, YO ask us to get a job or
else you don't get none of those dogs. So bruh,
I deal with the rest of it when I come back.
We only at the top of the letter. This is
a horrible lesson.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, hang on, Steve, hang on part two of your
responses coming up at twenty three minutes to have to
be our today's Strawberry letter. Subject she brings nothing to
the table. We'll get back into it right after this.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
You're listening.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Morning Show, All right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's
strawberry letter.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
The subject she brings to the table.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Okay, now quickly, we gonna get through this, because I
gotta get to the nuts and bolts of this letter.
This man is writing a letter with nothing but confusing
statements and statements where he already has the answer to
she brings nothing to the table. He's referring to his daughter.
He's sixty eight years old. He's raising a forty three
year old daughter. You should be done with that by now.
(07:23):
My wife and I let her moved in when she
got pregnant six years ago, and we won't let her
move out until she till we feel like she can
handle herself and her child by herself. Okay, that's crazy
that you can't handle yourself at forty three, and now
you done had this baby and you can't handle that either.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
What do she handle? Okay?
Speaker 4 (07:43):
She's always been bad with money, and she don't like
to work. Okay, that's crazy too, because most of the
stuff that you like requires that you work.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Groceries, housing, cars.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Restaurants, chicken, dressing up, shopping, this little stuff like that.
I like chicken, so probably need to have a job
so I can buy something, you know what I'm saying,
Just stuff like that. She's had at least ten jobs
in the last ten years, and she'd never worked out
with anybody because all her coworkers she blame it on them,
and she's either all and she's had men in her life,
(08:19):
but they've always been her coworkers and they was either
married or had a.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Living in girlfriend.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
So this man sits his daughter down before she turned
forty and told her she was aging out of the
kept woman age range. See, she didn't know that. My
wife and I knew that she had been doing this
for years and she wasn't selling herself, but she was
getting money in return for being arm candy or good
(08:48):
in bead.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Sir.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
I know what you're trying not to say because it's
your child, so I ain't I got you, but we
know what's happening now that she was she's been you know,
using her goods and wares to get through life. You've
warned her that she's aging out, and then you said,
(09:16):
you hate to say it, but she had a reputation.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
When she was younger.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Okay, dog, Look man, you're writing a lot of obvious
stuff in this letter. We don't have to go into that.
You know what the deal is. And she was only
dating men with nice cars and lots of cash. Now
here's the kicker for the whole letter. I get it,
because that's how I met her mother. This is the
(09:42):
whole kicker in this letter. My wife didn't bring anything
to the table. The title of your letter is she
brings nothing to the table. You say that's how you
met her mother, because her mama didn't bring nothing to
the table. But she was beautiful and had one of
the best bodies I've ever seen, almost when broke when
I met her. And now that my daughter is older,
(10:04):
I want her to realize that it's close to impossible
that she would find a man her age that would
spoil them. You know what to matter in this whole letter?
Right here, what example has her mother been? See this
is the part you didn't write in the letter. Sixty
eight year old dude, your daughter watched her mama. Your
(10:31):
daughter then read between the line. Your daughter know that's
how you got your wife. She know that because your
wife didn't bring nothing to the table. So I'm assuming
your daughter's a lot like your wife. I'm assuming she's
beautiful and she got a banging body. I mean, that's
how you get to sleep with people who nice cars
(10:52):
and stuff like that. That's all you need. And I
think she's just duplicated what she's seen her mother do
for years. That your wife is sleeping around. That's not
what I'm saying, but she did. She's very aware kids
are not stupid. She probably looking at her mama, go
my mama, don't do nothing now. She probably looking at that.
(11:14):
And I'm just saying seemed to me like and I
think she's just duplicated your wife's behavior. So this is
really y'all's fault. Y'all raised her to be this way.
Your mama has probably her wife, your wife, her mother
has probably encouraged her to use her looks and beauty
(11:34):
and body to get what.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
She wanted life. Well, okay, Steve Harvey, I think that'snet softy, But.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
It seems nowadays that me and won't a woman that
brings something to the table, so to speak. My wife
and I have been married for almost forty five years,
so we need some advice on how to convince our
daughter to stop waiting for a rich king to come
take her. Should we let her go figure it out
on her own? She should have figured it out by now.
If ain't no rich king came and took you by now,
(12:04):
what you waiting on? You're not going to be anything
until you take care of yourself. The best way to
attract a high value man is to be a high
value woman.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
That's the best way to get it done. It's the
only way.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
And see me and are the only ones who would
take a woman from nothing and give her everything.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
You will never find a rich woman hardly ever.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Go get a nothing man and try to turn him
into something that never works, And you can ask any
of them that's tried.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
You can date your background dancer if you want to.
But he was the dancer for the reason background. He
wouldn't even read.
