LOL I offered to help my son fix his rocking, leaking toilet (new closet bolts and wax ring kind of thing) so late in pregnancy his wife wouldn't end up annoyed by it. Stable toilets become very important when you can't see your feet, can't balance and feel like utter dog shit and are peeing 62 times a night.
He stated he was putting his money into the ADU (additional dwelling unit), then he'd pay the plumber to do it some nebulous time later. I made some non-snarky comment, smiled and walked away. So apparently he doesn't know I grew up doing this shit and am currently doing it all again. I'm taking that as a solid win and when his wife snarks him I can smile, hug her and say, "Ahhh honey I offered. I'm so sorry." hug hug WIN.
