I've got one of these

[kallilla]

I guarantee he will phone to say he's having a nightmare shopping. He'll only be at the local village store getting a couple of things, but has to phone to check on what he's supposed to get, and he brings home one small baguette fit 4 people, 2 lots of everything even though the lust said one! And he wonders why I get fed up !

Shopping doesn’t come so easy to some people?
I beg to differ. I think it does.

How did he cope before he lived with you? Unless of course he moved straight from his Mummy's house so had never had to worry about things like buying food...

I genuinely don't know why women put up with it. Why do some men get out things like shopping and cooking and women just let them get away with it because 'men are useless'. It's not attractive.

I don’t know any men like this thankfully. None of my friends or relatives would put up with this.
They may need to provide a list but to fail at following a list is ridiculous.

@Phimma

Thank you for your comments.

I do wonder at the bitchiness on here - so many unhappy women obviously.

so many unhappy women obviously.

And yet you're the one so delirious with joy you felt the need to start this thread...

I'd rather be single than a partner to some of the 'men' I read about on here.

Hard taskmasters..... unhappy women....nah we just have standards.

I think most of the unhappy women are with useless partners, sadly.

Oh come on OP. Are you new to MN? You posted in AIBU about having an idiot for an Husband, what were you expecting, flowers, biscuits and being told how cute and amusing his total ineptitude is?

I don't really get your attitude op. You've posted saying you've got one of these (a useless man child). Then seem to be complaining about people being bitchy and unhappy with useless men.

I know you were being lighthearted but there is a serious point that you are enabling and condoning a grown man acting like a 4 year old.

Does he have a job? Does he have to ring you before making any work related decisions? What about a hobby?

Of course he can manage some shopping but why would he if you are there to act like his mother?

I've just started a very similar post! What is it with menfolk today?!

Yes I had one of these. Got rid recently and it's done wonders for my life!

What is it with menfolk today?!
Some of them haven't had to grow up, they've always had mummy doing everything. Then they find a partner and assume they will mummy them too.
Fuck that.

Ive warmed my daughters about these 'men'. Fucking pathetic.
I agree with PP's - only have a relationship with a fully functioning adult
Having children is hard enough even with a good DH. It would be a nightmare with a feeble partner

They’re not feeble, they are fully functioning and it’s not pathetic.

It’s actually calculated, self-serving and lazy. IMHO.

My dp is nothing like this. I chose a man who is quite capable of looking after himself. He can cook, clean and go shopping. Surely everyone should pick a partner who is an independent adult.
