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

Mushroom pajamas! :D

This one is dumb. So when he wants to pee he's taught that he has to 1) lift the seat; 2) pee; 3) close the seat, meanwhile a girl will 1) pee and that's it? Not to mention, as many others have pointed out, it's more sanitary if everyone pees while sitting and then closes the lid before flushing, regardless of gender.

How people aren't closing the lid on the toilet is beyond me. Just why

I wish you were my MIL! Why is so blasted hard to understand that it is incredibly rude AND arrogant to make other people touch the toilet seat on which urine was splashed! (My son sits.to pee!....so if I did nothing else right...I taught him to be considerate of the next.person to use the toilet.)

Or so she doesn’t have to clean up pee all over the seat

The toilet seat and the lid should go down. See? We both have to put something down. And it's for a hygienic purpose.

The further I go with these posts, the more it feels like the son will grow up resenting men and being gay. You are all free to hate me based on voicing my opinion, as seems to be the result of opinions differing from the mainstream. (for the sake of clarity I will add, this comment is not about toilet seats). Each post sounds very much like "Hey everybody LOOK AT ME. I am teaching my son that living with men is a nightmare, aren't you impressed with ME, ME, ME??". this theme is repeated with every post. This is what I see, but to each their own, as it should be. Thank you for reading.

Everyone should put the seat down before flushing, every single time before hitting the lever/button. That initial pressure flings it the most! and that excuse, "there was no 💩 in there when I flushed", „well there was at one time and unless I just bleached the toilet, it's still in there!!„

Contrary to popular belief most men also sit and don't need to raise the seat.

Are you teaching your daughter to put the toilet seat up when she’s finished using the toilet ?

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!

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