Helping at a male dominated activity tonight, although one which my young daughter enjoys, as well as my son. Have helped before, so know the ropes. However, the male helper feels obliged to tell me what to do all night, despite the fact that I already know. (male and female helpers to cover changing rooms) Implications that I should make the drinks while he should do the physical work.
At a time decided by him, he then decreed that I should make the drinks while he continued to watch said activity, which I did as I was pleased to have an escape.
Got everything ready and then came back to help with the "mans" work, before returning to the kitchen where I obviously belong. He didn't even help with the washing up, which meant I left a full 10 minutes after him when my kid needs to get home too.
Well obviously none of this is a terribly big deal except does his wife put up with this? Is this what his children think is normal? What should I have done to sort this person out? Quick put-downs not being my strong point.
