To hate women who make a big martyry song and dance about the housework

[Fragmentedbrain]

Just read an article in the daily mail on this theme

One quoted woman says she'd rather live on a commune of women than with a man because there would be more sharing of "the domestic load"

Personally I would rather die than live with Neat Women in some dedicated to cleaning hellscape

If you want things to be tidy, tidy

Otherwise dont and shaddup about it

(I know this is possible because neither my husband nor I gaf about tidying and we have fun instead)

You don’t sound very bright.

"Hate" is a bit extreme. The fact is that some (many?) women are still picking up the domestic load and their partners doing feck all.

It’s perfectly possible to enjoy a clean and tidy house AND also have fun. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.

Hate is a very strong word

This is the stupidest thing I’ve read on Mumsnet.

YABU. Not everyone wants to live like slobs or clean up after slobs.

So you live in a dirty grubby house? You do you.

Oh dear. Blinkers off OP.

But when it's the DH who makes 90% of the mess and refuses to clean it up or tidy it (or even see it) and you end up doing it all - what are you meant to do? Live in squalour, nag and yell to try to make him do something he's not going to?

I now live alone and I do housework when I want to, because any mess is made by me and therefore I don't resent clearing it up.

Well you certainly do hate women.

Why?

YABU - it’s not even about living in a neat freak house.
It’s usually about certain that HAVE to be done but one person can’t/won’t think ahead to get it done e.g. washing
and drying school uniform - this can’t wait until Monday morning because both parents are so cool, super chilled and having fun that they haven’t done it.

No need at all to not keep your house clean and tidy . U will still have plenty of time for fun

Waooow you're so special and unique and not like other women OP!

Is it time for Misogynistic Monday already?

Name checks out

Username checks out

The problem is that humans need to do a certain minimum to keep ourselves healthy and alive. And doing those bare basics requires time unless you have someone else doing it all for you - cooking and the cleaning that goes with it, washing and putting away clothes, etc. There is even more of that if you have children.

if you don’t do those basics, then you are not the “cool, fun loving” person you think you are - you are probably living somewhere really grubby, eating ready meals.

This tells me everything I need to know about you.

Especially if everyone does their share of the work. Which is kind of the point!

Fucking hell.

You’re so special 🙄

Do you think your fragmented brain may be playing a role in the formation of those misogynistic, dumb-as-a-rock views, @Fragmentedbrain?

Yes, I got the "I'm not like the other girls" and a hint of "cool wife" vibe from the OP.

Oh, a Cool Girl. I bet your whole identity revolves around Not Being Like The Other Girls.

Yawn.

You ‘hate’ people who like being tidy?!?

that is seriously weird.
