This is a very appreciated attribute.

Would that extend to “no mum, I don’t want to be in your videos”?

The thing that make me uncomfortable is the underlying idea that all men don't understand any of these things unless taught. I am a man and none of these things have been specifically taught. Most men know how to be a good man, without constantly being talked down upon.

Eva It is normal, I teach Biology, I teach the boys at my school that everyone has underarm hair after puberty butI still shave mine. It's itchy if I don't.

we’re trying this with my brother. he gets so violent and abusive when upset

Best thing I learnt was write a list together so you both know what you want and need and whether or not you have it because you will check for the stuff you mentioned first.

Yeah... I know more than a few individuals who need this. As in, no, being helpful or considerate *only* within your own narrow scope of "I feel like it now" (but otherwise being insensitive, dismissive or selfish) does not mean you're being mindful and she's being difficult.

Installing soft close seats and expecting everyone in the house male or female to close the lid before they flush so a plume of feces doesn't sprinkle the whole bathroom

More useful... teaching them that abusive incompetence is not acceptable (ie: they might be the one who puts all the stuff away, but when it comes time that their partner wants/needs something... well, gee, they "don't know where it is", guess they just CAN'T help, oh well.)

Oh no! This is nightmare territory for me. Imagine being forced to watch 'men's' sports and boom just when you think it's over - MORE SPORT! (Joke :) - don't care if it's men or woman sport, I don't want to watch either haha please don't make me)

Lol can someone teach my wife this

Or just maybe that if you agree to set off at x time, be ready at x time. It is just as disrespectful to not bother about other people's efforts to be ready at the specified time.

I get the idea behind this but it's been proven that bed bugs thrive in sheets that are covered by doona's etc...leaving the blankets folded at the end of bed for example is better because the open air is deadly to bed bugs.

Why should she motivate him? If a grown person chooses being a couch potato its their right. Good to have good habits from childhood, but cant see why a partner should be responsible for exercise.

I think 200$ serums need justification!

This one DOES need justification. There are plenty of good brands out there that don't cost you an arm and a leg and they do the job as good or better. If they are $200, you are probably just paying for the name and the fancy bottle.

Just get your serums from "the ordinary", no-one needs a 200$ serum for good skin. Wanting something like that to feel luxurious is a thing, and if you can afford that luxury... you do you. But it's not necessary. And when you share an economy both partners are justified to question expensive purchases if finances are tight.

I get the meaning but a $200 skin cream had better come in a 5 gallon bucket!

There is little proof of this, the best anti-aging thing is eating healthy and internal things. Your skin is an organ!!! One thing to help your skin the best is sunscreen and keeping hydrated.

Eeek I was on cloud 9 until I saw this one!

No need for $200 serums or any make-up maybe teach your daughters not to fall victim to the make-up industry and love herself the way she is. As a man trying to make out with a woman wearing make-up is just gross.

Ok but, if your skin needs skincare that expensive, that's not on your partner for being judgemental. You are spending WAY too much money

who is paying for $200 cosmetics! wow. that's a lot of money that is hard to earn.

isn't that expansive?

Total bullskit ! How about $200 Scotch? , golf shoes? , sun glasses ? , for your husband ???

Wouldn’t the daughter’s parents teach that?

What is "retail theraphy "? Like a shopping spree for mental health? I agree with the cleaning, organizing, period awerness etc, but this confused me.
