Love, Cleaning, Housework and Ironic: Drill sergeant

Drill sergeant

Today, my wife said I shouldn't wash or iron the clothes, or do the dusting and vacuuming, because, I "don't do it correctly." Also my wife: "You don't do anything to help around here." FML

Messy situation

By Need help - 16/11/2023 15:00 - United States

Today, my wife called me at work to yell at me because the house is a mess. She hasn't helped me clean in over two years, and when I ask for help, there's always a new excuse, headache, tired from work, stress, etc. FML

Today, my boyfriend did the washing as an attempt to help me. Not only are all my clothes now pink, he refuses to do the dishes, vacuuming, bathroom, ironing etc., as he has done "plenty." FML

Never enough

Today, after weeks of my girlfriend complaining that I don't help with the chores, I secretly took a day off work to deal with some that were piling up. When she got home, all she could do was complain about how I hadn't done more. FML

Today, my husband asked what I’d done all day. I took it as a criticism and was about to chew his head off about not appreciating all I do, when I took a look at myself still in pyjamas, the filthy house, dirty plates, and unwashed laundry and realised I’ve done fuck all for weeks. I’m a bad wife. FML

I'll get right on it, chief

Today, my mother-in-law called me selfish, lazy and a bad mother for giving my kids chores, like picking up toys and shoes. When we got married, my husband didn’t even know how to load a dishwasher or run a load of laundry. According to her, a "real mother" waits on her family hand and foot. Yeah, OK. FML

Affection breakdown

By Anonymous - 19/12/2020 13:02 - United Kingdom - Boston

Today, my wife can't be bothered to do anything that isn't work, talk about her work, and sit on the sofa. Then she complains that I don't show any affection, when she can be bothered to even talk to me. FML

Today, my wife blamed me for the washing machine breaking. When I told her it wasn’t me because I haven’t used it this week, she immediately changed direction and started blaming me for not doing enough around the house, which is utter bullshit. I know I do my share, I think she just wanted to fight. FML

Today, I got home and my wife asked me why I hadn’t taken the bin out or cleaned the living room. I asked her why she hadn’t done it since she got fired 6 months ago for laziness and since then has sat on her ass watching daytime TV instead of job searching. She threw a mug at my face. FML

Another fine mess

By Anonymous - 31/10/2021 23:00

Today, I recently quit doing housework in protest at my husband's laziness around the house, forcing him to start pulling his weight. The house has never been so clean. Apparently, most of the mess was caused by me moving things to clean around them and making the mess worse. FML

Today, I spent all day doing chores around the house, including mowing and raking the lawn, paying bills, going to the store, meal prepping, and cleaning the fridge. When I sat down to enjoy some well-earned games, my girlfriend sighed and asked if I ever planned to contribute anything to our relationship. FML

Have her teach you how SHE likes it done. That is time together and shows you are trying to help. Don't, however, get mad and accusatory in tone when ..... asking... for her to show you how to do it right.

That leaves the cooking, and if you have them, spending more time with your kids. Chop chop.

There's also washing the dishes, changing lightbulbs, installing/removing the AC, and fixing stuff around the house. Not to mention gardening and taking care of the family pets.

So do it ******* well then. The weaponized incompetence is aggravating and leads us to feel we can't rely on you. And when you've shown, time and time again, that you will **** up even the most basic task, then we start to see you as a another chore we have to manage. And once you become THAT, then we're done. We'll ride it out for a few more years and then divorce your ass. Yet, you'll blame women, like always, while you've sat on your ass and created messes and work for her. Learn how to be a functional adult, you ass.

OP, if your significant other isn't being reasonable, have her try doing the tasks she normally has you handle for a week and correct her mistakes in the way you wish she would handle you. leading by example is much better than suffering through an unreasonable partner. also, person above me, quit dating men if you can't find a better way to educate your partner than just passing blame.
