Be @FuyuhikoDate@feddit.org.

Finds a comic strip that i don’t like.

This must be before my time, I must make my opinion known to all.

Proceeds to publicly talk down on the comic for being ”old and out of touch”.

Realizes Arc Raiders released in 2025.

Shit.

Alternatively, is too young to be married.

[–] FuyuhikoDate@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hmm... Would being married change the narrative? And if yes, is it mandatory that its a hetero marriage or could it be a same sex marriage? ;)

My mom is in a non hetero marriage very much like this. But if you were married, you would know that mutual respect is key to making it last and be worth it.

Not really. As a millennial this is a problem I have (and am not proud of). Hell, it's a problem for a person from any generation with Executive Disfunction. The only Boomerish behavior I see in this thread is from you, for assuming that this is a single-generational issue.

[–] FuyuhikoDate@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago

Hmm... Nah I dont see a "single generation" issue there and now I kinda assume to understand what your problem is, so thanks for explaining.

I dont get it why you assume think "saying something is boomer" equals "single generation issue". I mean yeah even milleanials and gen z are suffering from patriachic issues. And its not like that they try to hide it...

But interestingly enough that you defend a comic which tries to point a multilayer problem down to a single issue. Executive Dysfunction is a hell of a problem and I am deeply sorry to hear that.

But those comics boil the problem more down to a "haha guy is always on the computer instead of doing dishes..."

I'm the one who did the dishes, cleaning, groceries, kids, after I cleaned she would make a mess then yell at me for being a slob and not keeping the house clean, also I worked full-time. When the dishwasher broke she blamed me because I'm the only one who loaded/unloaded it. when I fixed it with proof it wasn't my fault, it was still my fault.

abusive relationships really mess with your senses of reality.

Dude are you me? Similar situation, my ex was/is a raging narcissist who would absolutely trash the house. Kitchen was a disaster because she was an aspiring cake decorator who never bothered to clean up after herself and would fill entire 8 foot folding tables with her crap for weeks on end. Never lifted a finger with the rest of the house, actively trashed everything and her strategy was to wait for me to reach a breaking point where I had to rage clean for my own sanity, then she'd do it all over again. She was and is a shit parent and a deadbeat. There's sooo much more and it all ended poorly... For her, at least. I'm out of that situation now, but it took me a long time to admit I was in an abusive relationship.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

However little resources are for women escaping abusive relationship, there are even less for men. there should be more resources. When I called the police when I was being hit, all they told me is that if I were to touch her they would take me away. but me getting mauled is OK for them.

[–] Stegget@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My saving grace was that the last time she hit me, it was on camera. Video evidence goes a long way toward forcing the hand of the police.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

my daughter saw her kicking me while I was in the floor, it was recorded (audio only), police said it wasn't enough evidence, despite my daughter's testimony.

[–] Stegget@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

That's fucked up

That's painful to read. Hope you are able to untangle yourself from that mess.

My trick is to do the chores first, then with any leftover time I can do whatever I want guilt free.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

leftover time

Get a load of the optimist over here

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

I know, when are chores ever done? If I didn’t allot free time for myself I’d never have any.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

They have all of the time of the age of Aquarius leftover.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I got a similar trick. I just never get tired, bored, or distracted. You should try that!

[–] TrumpetX@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

Andy is short for Andrea, right? IMPOSTER EVERYONE!

Being a stay at home dad was fucking awesome!

[–] underscores@lemmy.zip 20 points 2 days ago (6 children)

I think one of the issues couples have with cleaning is that everyone has different schedules and approaches

I never clean during weekdays, sorry but work fucks me up and when I come home I want all relaxation

When the weekend starts after my Saturday morning I'll go on a quick cleaning binge, and then Sunday night I do another clean binge and repeat

[–] telllos@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I think, there are some things that can't "wait", dishes, always after meal. I never want to arrive in my kitchen and it's full of dirty dishes.

We both work from home. We have neither excuses nor anyone to blame.

We're just the third panel twice in a standoff with the dishes.

[–] DigitalAudio@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

We just have the rule that whoever cooks doesn't wash. I hate cooking because I hate getting my hands sticky, my wife hates washing the dishes because she always forgets the corners and we end up rewashing anyway.

It's perfect harmony. Whenever she doesn't want to cook, I cook, and she then procrastinates washing as long as she wants because it is her responsibility and we both know it.

We basically never fight, but cooking and washing has never been a point of tension in this household lol.

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Get out of our house.

[–] siskourso@odin.lanofthedead.xyz 18 points 2 days ago (4 children)

But you still have to somewhat wash them before they go in the dishwasher.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 13 points 2 days ago (11 children)
[–] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The easy fix TL;DW (though you should, Alex is great) is to, right before starting the dishwasher, run the hot water until the tap is as hot as it gets. Drastically improved outcomes.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 12 points 2 days ago

I took away from his video it's to put detergent in both spots because there's two rinses. The running to get hot is just cherry on top to help more

My wife goes into complete reading trance when she gets her hands on a new novel. Nothing will get done until that book is finished. Any response will be delayed until the next chapter.

Ack no, not in my house. I cook, husband does the dishes usually. I clean the dishwasher filter, maintain the machine and tell him not to clean the dishes before they go in. He doesn't usually wash my cast iron because he was messing it up (which is not easy to do but he managed it) but all the regular dishes and most of the pots & pans are his world because he wants me to cook.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Uh, I do the dishes and the gaming and the laundry and vacuum and...

But she's hot and makes more money, so its all good.
