Title: Is this weaponised incompetence or am I being unfair?

Asked DH to make pizzas with our toddler – something LO has been asking for for five days. Also (selfishly!) meant to be a bit of a break for me as they’ve both been off school/nursery all week and I’ve been on duty 24/7.

I’d already made the dough, so it literally just needed rolling out. Gave very simple instructions: pick up pepperoni and mozzarella.

He gets back, immediately comments on the mess 🙄 and then announces he forgot the mozzarella. Takes eldest back out to get it.

They come back, I finally sit down thinking great, 5 mins peace. Nope.

I’ve now been called in FOUR times:
– “Do I take the baking paper off the dough?”
– “Which tray do I use?”
– “Is the oven hot enough?”
– etc etc

At this point our toddler is basically supervising him.

Genuine question – is this weaponised incompetence or am I expecting too much? Because I’m struggling to believe an adult can’t manage basic pizza assembly without this level of input…

Does he not know about google?

I was not criticising you no more than you were criticising OP.

The OP invited opinions. I did not. Your opinion of my post is of no relevance.

Actually, you did invite opinions by posting on this thread just like others here.

You claim I was criticising you. Questioning if you read the OP’s comments is not a criticism. You were posting that it was a drip feed when OP was answering questions from pps, claimed she was setting him up to fail, amongst other things and I disagreed.

You know very well it’s weaponised incompetence when you made the dough ‘to make it easy for him’. Jeez 🤦🏻‍♀️ it makes me despair that young mothers are still having to do this shit. Men must laugh their socks off at how gullible women are.

You should’ve just said ‘you’re doing this with Maeve, not me!’ And not got involved. If you’re always going to be there hovering and mopping up after him, he’ll let you.
