  It's common sense that you don't unload the dishwasher immediately after wiping your ass.

What about WHILE wiping your ass?

My time is precious, and I like to multi-task.

That's one way to cut time off your poop knife usage.

Daughter: Are grandma and grandpa rich? 
Wife: We don’t talk about those things.

Me: [To daughter] It can be impolite to talk about that stuff but why don’t ask?

Wife: [glare]
Daughter: They have 2 houses. And one has an elevator. The other has a pool on the inside. I think that means you’re rich.

Me: that’s pretty solid logic sweetie. But it’s probably best you don’t worry about money. You’re well taken care of. 
Wire: [still glaring]
Daughter: But we’re not rich. 
Me: Not when I have to pay for all your activities and stuff.

Daughter: oh Dad!!!

[Daughter leaves]
Wife: You always do this. The conversation should have ended at ‘We don’t talk about things like this’.

Me: She was curious and she wasn’t wrong.

Wife: she shouldn’t use that word.

Me: what word?

Wife:!Rich. It has such a bad connotation now and with all this backlash you know.

Me: oh yeah?

Wife: Yeah it’s a bad word now. Just say wealth or they have money. Rich just isn’t safe anymore.

Me: What kind of world is it when rich … I mean people of means don’t even feel safe in their paid off BMW’s and multiple houses?

Wife; [Glares]

Me: Don’t worry babe. It’s nothing you need to worry about.

Wife: Yeah because we don’t have any money.

Me: I’m doing my part to keep my family safe.

That read like a conversation from Bluey. 

I can assure you that it wasn’t endearing and no lessons were learned.

Are these your parents or your wives?

I would assume your wives as she seems more sensitive to the topic.  But your right that “don’t ask” is a bad way to answer any kids question.

Honda Civic beater with 250K miles on it leaks a tiny bit of oil. I don't even care, but I don't like oil spots on the driveway. Easy solution- piece of cardboard on the driveway under the engine to soak up the oil. 

This morning the cardboard was gone. Wife threw it away.

 

Its my fault because I didn't "tell her" to not throw away something that I deliberately put down with flat rocks so it wouldn't blow away.

Three things can all be right at the same time.

Also a fourth thing that’s right - she should put a new cardboard piece down since she trashed the old one without asking but zero chance that will happen. But you’d be a complete dick for not doing it if the situation was reversed.

Wife…. People who don’t talk about $ are rich or grew up rich.

Seriously.  Your kids should have some semblance of a clue about their own family - you don't have to lay out your family's finances, bills, etc. with your kids, but they should understood their family is privileged.

Like, yes, your grandparents are well off/wealthy.  A good lesson in how to make a fortune for yourself, depending on how they did it.  And another lesson in "just because they're rich doesn't mean you will be rich off of them one day" 

Your wife's argument makes more sense if your kids start asking about finances of non-family members.  She just seems insecure about it.
