MadeMeSmile users very unhappy about homecooked meals.

https://old.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/comments/1e4c2ee/my_wife_went_out_of_town_for_three_days_she_left/

Context:

OP shares a picture of their freezer with prepped meals made by their wife before her trip.

Redditors understandably unhappy with this.

There is no more context.

>You're one of those guys?

>I'm so glad I'm not married anymore

>Soooo.... you gonna tell us whether you're massively incompetent or if your wife just loves you a lot?

>Maybe she's telling you you're a man child

What is with all the bitterness?!

Reddit.

>Grown men struggle with basic life skills such as cooking well and properly cleaning the house. The list goes on. We burden women with so many responsibilities. Women are often expected to take on a disproportionate amount of work. Men should return the favour and share the responsibilities.

>As a man it makes me feel second hand embarrassment. Can you not take care of yourself? For three days? Lol

>IMO it is more sad than funny. I would never let my wife to serve me like this literally.

>You're such a hero.

Not at all, just not a childish butthole...

I don't believe you.

>Jesus Christ you fricks are all so sad.

>His wife did something nice for him.

>That's literally the whole story. Wtf is up with all the "oh poor baby can't cook" and "oh you better worship the ground she walks on" type shit? Tf is wrong with y'all?

>If EVERYTHING you do for your partner is kept on a scoreboard I can't imagine your relationship is going well.

I'm so glad I'm not married anymore.

lmao extreme wine mom cope, maybe your husband wouldn't have left you if you made a home cooked meal once in a while

We burden women with so many responsibilities. Women are often expected to take on a disproportionate amount of work. Men should return the favour and share the responsibilities.

>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you can't have a loving wife who does nice things for you without expecting anything in return, every facet of your relationship has to be completely transactional! :soyjaktantrum:

leaving aside that this whole attitude towards relationships is r-slurred and that it's literally impossible to ensure completely even division of all household tasks without being completely neurotic, there's no indication that the husband can't or won't cook lol. For all they know, he could be the one who cooks every other day and she just felt like returning the favor for once. If anything, the fact that he thought about it as notable enough to post on the internet shows that he was surprised/this is not just a regular occurrence.

If there's one thing that commie-tards get right is the capitalistic thinking towards relationships. You can't just enjoy one another and do things for each other without keeping a running tally? Why wouldn't I just hire a maid if making sure we're "even" is so important?

Exactly. What's even more ridiculous to me though is the idea that chores always somehow scale in difficulty with the addition of another person to the household. If you're a childless single person, you have the sole burden of cooking for yourself and cleaning up your own living space. If you get married and are still childless, is it really gonna make that much of a difference if you cook for your spouse as well? It's literally a matter of throwing two scoops of pasta into a pot instead of just one lol. As far as cleaning goes, I guess it kinda depends on how messy you are, but you're pretty much cleaning up the same amount of space at the same frequency. Laundry barely even counts as a chore if you sort out whites in advance and hang up most clothes instead of meticulously folding them.

Household chores aren't hard to begin with and doing them on behalf of somebody else doesn't make them that much harder. I don't get why redditors pretend that they're some kind of backbreaking labor.

Feminists don't want to talk about how a good peepeeing is equivalent in relationship value to doing every household chore

My 5 kids beg to differ. I do laundry basically perpetually and have more than a dish machine load every meal.

The individual tasks aren't harder, but getting everything done is.

I gotta concede that kids make everything a lot harder but I'm specifically talking about childless couples (adding one more person to the household, not six lol)

Redditors see a relationship as completely transactional. Everything one person does for the other needs to be reciprocated in kind or it's an abusive relationship.

I grew up in a family that had a really transactional gift giving tradition. So for example if my mom brought my aunt a crock pot for a house warming gift, my aunt would buy some pans or some shit of equal or greater value next time she showed up at our place. And then the cycle would continue with both of them blowing money on shit that neither really needed just for the sake of keeping up their pride lol (meanwhile the guys would just bring each other beer when their wives made them take a gift :marseyboomer:). If somebody broke the cycle at some point, it'd get held over her head and a pointless argument about which one bought more stuff for the other would ensue :marseynoyou:

I dunno why somebody would actively try to cultivate that dynamic with his/her spouse (with chores in place of gifts obviously) because it seemed genuinely exhausting

Yeah my best friend's family is like that too. Like he was always buying gift's for his second cousin's kid or some other far off relative and I thought it was insane because my family never cared much about gifts lol.
