re: This Poor Baw - Just wants a hot meal after pulling a 13 hour shift

Most of these videos are fake AF but if that guy is acting he is pretty good because I can hear legit frustration and disappointment in his voice.

Why was this being filmed? I always think these are fake.

I'm sure this happens all the time, but that video is staged. Just the camera angle and she makes no mentioning of put the phone down.

About year 3 into our marriage, my wife pulled this stunt on me once…..ONCE.

I had to work a 14 hour shift, and when I came home that night, there was no food at all. I asked her, where’s the food at, I’ve been at work on my feet 14 hours. She had the nerve to ask me if I can go back out and pick up something to eat….

I was hot. Livid. Furious. Enraged, etc etc.

What I did was call HER MOM, and told her about her daughter. (Note: Her mom grew up in a house with a stay at home mom, and her dad was in construction). So, she knew 100% where I was coming from, and apologized that my wife wasn’t doing what she was supposed to be doing.


5 minutes later, MIL called my wife and chewed her arse out. Lol

Neither less to say, this “incident” never happened again.

but it seems like a coping measure to say, "well if I'm unhappy and hate my wife, at least no other man in the world is happy with their wives because they're all as unhappy as me"

Yep. You see how many responses here mention their “shifts”. I don’t pick a side on the gender battles of who is right and wrong.

There's a strong ethos among many women that traditionally female tasks like cooking are a form of slavery. That type of misplaced anger isn't easy to fix.

Firstly because the cooking and cleaning performed by slaves was much easier than the hard labor of field work etc. And the male forms of labor are still widely performed but rarely praised.

That is, housewives do safer and less grueling work than men in sanitation, construction, etc but generally receive sympathy. Whereas blue collar men often are considered unsympathetic and undesirable.

The other weird thing about the slave narrative is that the women complaining (about the idea of doing domestic tasks for their husbands or children) often received and treasured that care from their mothers.

And the mothers often (if not typically) treated the children with higher care and respect than their husbands. Making the women complaining about enslavement the slave masters of their mothers.

Mine has a meal for us every night, works tirelessly to provide extra income, take care of the kids, drive people everywhere, etc, and also empathizes with my mental ups and downs trying to navigate work, the world and mid life crisis etc etc.

grew up in a household with five kids, we had a sit down breakfast before my mom got all of the kids off to school and went to to work, when my dad got home from work we had a sit down dinner, everybody at the table, no tv on and phone calls went unanswered, on weekends it was three sit down meals a day if everyone was around, never heard her complain, she seemed to enjoy taking care of her family

That's great and all, but I think it's practically impossible in this day and age between work schedules, after-school activities, etc.

tale wagging the dog? maybe it's because families don't have family time and set boundaries and parameters that we are so fricked up as a society?
