Dear, Bossy Homemaker
There used to be a time when we assisted you around the house, but those days are gone. Why? Permit us to demonstrate: Doing the Dishes.
- US [Doing Dishes]: This is a man’s world…..This is a man’s world, but it wouldn’t be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl.
- YOU: You are doing it wrong! Don’t use that towel use this one!
- US: Sorry. *Last time we try to help out.*
Or: Cooking.
- US [Cooking Something Yummy and Messy]: Hang the DJx3. Hang the DJx3. Hang the DJ. Hang the DJ.
- YOU: You are doing it wrong! Don’t use that pan! Use this one. Oh, and turn the heat down. You forgot to add…..
- US [Thinking To Self]: Last time we do this.
- YOU: Move!
- US: Sure.
So, angry mothers/stay-at-home moms/homemakers, or whatever you are calling yourselves these days, that’s why you end up doing everything.
I made dinner while visiting my parents this weekend, though no one was home when I began cooking.
It was quite pleasant to be able to work on my own, without worrying about someone telling me I was doing it wrong.
I never cook with someone else, esp the Significant Other™, in the kitchen. Its binary XOR here. Best recipe for disaster to have two people involved in kitchen duties.
Once took out the trash.
Apparently, didn’t wash out the trash can ritually after every time of removing the bag liner. Also didn’t follow the freshly washed can with a light dusting of baking soda on the inside.
“all aboard……. the night train!”
last time we do this.
@vmarks: that’s why you got to read the memos. What? No memo?
Odd.
