Harem woes

Surely you have heard of a harem. If you are a guy, you have fantasized about having a harem full of lovely wives at your beck and call. However, I learned something about harems. The few times a harem existed, in all cases, the man's mother ran the harem like her house. So, your mother would be there telling which wives to do what and when. You know, that just kind of kills it for me. I think the money is in defying someone else's harem.

This means the women can be bitches to me and nice to my mother and get their way. Screw that. It makes my skin crawl thinking about it. This is a situation where a little knowledge has ruined a great idea.
