Yep. One of the reasons women do all the housework, is because men where literally not taught how to. It may sound weird that someone can fix a car, paint a fence, but struggles with house chores.

It's due to literally never learning to.

The heck is a thanksgiving?

I always wanted to help my mom with the cooking when we were growing up, but she was such a control freak that she would hardly even allow anyone else into the kitchen. I’m sure plenty of other mothers are like that, too.

Do people not normally involve their kids in this sort of thing equally?

In our house Mom was the chef and us boys were the su-chefs. If you want to live under this roof you'd better help with the cooking, serving, cleaning and everything else in the household. That's the best way to learn how to do it all yourself.

I was already rolling meatballs and frying schnitzels when I was in early high school.

Edit: I have been informed that I use Linux too much and that it is sous chef, not su-chef or sudo-chef. Although my mom is the root user.

If you cook, you don't clean. If you clean, you don't cook. Tell them to take their pick.

Carving up the turkey is a manly job, just keep those knives sharp

My brother is the best chef in the family. You will always miss out on good food if you don't screen all your kids for chef talent. Gender roles often lead to people not doing things they might be good at.

Your kids help?

I dunno... Did women kill the Indians to take this land?

Also consider beating your children with a pair of jumper cables, not out of anger, or the need to discipline them, but for the sheer joy of hitting a living human being with jumper canles.

Edit: my parents beat me with jumper cables all the time and it embiggened my cromulence. It's good for you. Like milk. Or calt. Or shumming.

I assume the families that need to hear this won’t listen.

No way. Those idiots suck at everything

If it were up to me we would be having take and bake pizza, if other people want something else other people can cook it.

White culture is living in a concentrated period of open fascism, and having conversations with your friends about teaching men to do the dishes

Owh hellll no, I'm not helping with cleaning up 😜

As an introvert who struggles with social stuff at festivities, fuck that.

really proud of famously sought after and eligible playboys such as reddit and lemmy users coming together to really identify as societies peak. You guys clean at Christmas and challenge gender roles. Fucking peak. So weird that so many of you are struggling in the dating scene while those slob adult men seem to constantly be getting married. What gives?
