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.

Just teaching your kid to pick up after him- or herself is good.

Best to wait an hour as you sweat at night even if you don't think so and leaving it uncovered will help to dry and air it out. So I wait until after my shower and stuff before making the bed.

When I take all of my bedding off to wash them, I spray a mattress spray that kills all germs (including Covid). Then when I make my bed, I neatly fold down the comforter to the bottom of my bed. Then that way all germs stay away 😃👍

I was rarely told to make my bed in the morning, along with my siblings, but it's each family's preference on cleanliness and how tidy you want things, it also depends on your partner/roommate if you ever have one, so if you both have different opinions, compromise

Just deal with it 😎

I’m kinda nervous asking this, but is “Dona” an autocorrect failure? If so, what was the word she meant? Thanks!

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.
