Anyone willing and capable of doing it themselves wasn't asking for help because they needed the help, they wanted the help, so the ask is less about the help and far more about the helping, if that makes sense.
I'm a millennial woman with male gen X and boomer direct reports at work. This is their strategy for literally everything. "But youuuuu do it so much beeeeeeeter....!!!!! (Whaaa, whaaa, work is haaaaaard...)"
My strategy is scheduling mandatory training meetings early Saturday morning for anything that can't be done because "Don't know how.. 🥺".

When a man says he will do something, he will. There is no reason to remind him every year.

Then I'm following behind her like a child trying to grab the stuff to do the thing.

Because failure at this point means you're in the doghouse until forgiven.

Imagine an adult wanting something done and just going to do it themselves 🙄

I know right? Like how dare a wife ask her life partner for help with something in their shared home?

Sounds like you and your wife have serious communication issues. Not everyone is like that.

What a neat way to tell people that you don’t respect women.

Imagine an adult having to do everything because their spouse is incapable of contributing.

It's never about the thing that needs to get done.
unknown@piefed.social · 7 pts · 347d
It was, till it was put off and ignored so many times that it became about that instead.

Totally. Have you ever been in a partnership though?
baggins@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 347d
Oh are you saying this meme is actually about someone being shitty to their partner? That isn't very funny.

I support her adulting 100%, unless she was expecting someone else to do it for her.
