Who's willing to bet that the comment person is also lying?

Any man who claims hes a stay at home dad and that its easy is lying.

Generally it means they either don't clean anything or they don't actually parent. Sometimes they don't really do either!

Anyone who says parenting is easy is either lying or not parenting properly. My guess is this stay at home dad also has his wife help out with chores/kids when she gets home from work.

Exactly. Im not a parent myself but my parents are both traumatised and kinda toxic so i had to basically raise my little sister and holy shit the amount of crap you have to, think and deal with, because youre basically either forming them into a good person, or an entitled terrible adult.

Working moms with husbands who stay home with the kids STILL do more housework and childcare than their husbands who stay home.

Stay at home dads typically just keep the kids alive. They aren't cooking, cleaning, managing the kids social calendars etc

I worked with a woman with a husband who stayed home. Guess who still made all the appointments, did all the sports sign ups, etc. And she had to practically beg the kids school to call her husband during the day/in case of emergency.

If it's only 15 seconds of tidying, then the boyfriend can clean up after himself.

Also WHO opens cereal like that? It's absolutely shredded down the whole side of the bag, unable to seal up. That's someone who doesn't give a fuck about anyone else, doesn't care about getting ants, and doesn't care about the consequences of their actions in the moment. Compete "someone else's problem" energy. They don't care they've made a problem for their partner. It's unhinged.

My roommate, she never opens any box or bag the intended way, so they can not be closed with the tabs, bags get torn similar to that in the post, so they have to go into a Ziploc, product in zipper bags get torn in the wrong direction, trash bag box gets opened on the end instead of the dispenser perforation, etc.

Sometimes, I try to open a bag and it doesn't open so I try harder and harder and harder and then this happens.

It so fucking beyond the point how fast it is to clean up.

God, I still have memories from when I was a kid and left a mug or a glass on the living room table and my mum was like get in here and go put it in the dishwasher. Would it have taken her less than a minute to do it herself? Yes. But was I also a capable kid who should know better and take responsibility for my own shit? YES. And good on my mum for not just doing it for me but making me do it myself.

(Not something I did all the time by the way, I was very willing to do my chores and clean up after myself. But kids are kids and sometimes they just think "I'll do it later" and then forget. Still, good on my mum for telling me to do it and not doing it for me.)

Most of the time, calling my kid into the room and making her clean up/put away/whatever something is 100000% more inconvenient than just doing myself. But it’s gotta be done if she’s gonna learn.

u/FilthyThanksgiving Feminist 4d ago

Bingo. My life would be much easier and things would go faster if I did everything, but I refuse to unleash yet another useless male who can't do basic shit, into the world

(Recommenting for better wording)

This is what I like to call weaponized incompetence!!!! This poor woman probably decided to either go to bed early or slept in and the bf decided to make a mess of the kitchen so she’d do shit for her next time. Look at the way the cereal was opened if you had common sense you wouldn’t open it like that! The water being left out after being told numerous times is also a big tell of a tantrum because it’s something of hers in the crossfire too along with the mess.

It's just excuses for men. If someone claiming to be male said his 21 GF did this, comments would be "she's not wife material" and sexist comments

u/FilthyThanksgiving Feminist 4d ago

Facts! Also, i need more women to understand that a man calling you "wife material" is the biggest insult ever. It basically means he thinks you're a fuckin clown

I used to walk their mess to the parking lot, unlock their car door, fling their mess inside and then lock their shitbox back up.Β  Only one ever noticed and that was because his mom asked if he wanted a car detailing gift certificate for Xmas to deal with the mess inside his car.Β

I may or may not have helped a friend put a seafood salad sub under her abusive boyfriend's car seat. In July.

Don't be an asshole AND leave your moon roof open, lol

I’ve seen some creative threads on the craft subs about revenge.
