Aww, poor little victim pretending she can’t set aside $350 to make her own life better. |
Oh look! The “incredibly happy” poster is back! |
Side bar about the domestic robotic support mansplained: A $350 roomba just barely makes anyone's life better. It takes about 25% of the time that you'd spend vacuuming to prepare a space for the roomba, rescue it when it's stuck, empty its canister, clean the spot where you tried to neatly empty canister but spilled. Then the Roomba takes 4-5 times longer to vacuum than you would have. Then you set up in another spot. |
We returned ours. It was loud, took forever, and did a terrible job. I guess if you are never home and don't care if huge spots get missed, its for you? |
Holy sh!t. Not even the robots can meet your standards. No wonder your husbands will NEVER measure up. There is simply no pleasing some of you. |
Lol, it is an expensive piece of garbage that does not even do the job for which it is explicitly designed and requires more time maintaining it than you would spend doing the job it's supposed to do "automatically" yourself. But yes, do tell me how freaking roombas are the solution to gender inequality in the home |
This is kind of like when housewives were told that laundry machines would liberate them from housework, and then we just raised the standards for cleanliness so that now you are supposed to wash clothes after every wear and if people smell like natural sweat or body odor, it's a failure. Culturally, we work extremely hard to keep women occupied with BS like washing and folding, or rescuing the roomba from under the stairs. |
Based on that abstract, you are saying that you are indeed happy because you are experiencing the "unpleasant emotions" (their words) you want to experience, namely smugness and anger at people different from you... congrats? |
I can literally hire a teenager that will do a better job at these tasks than my husband. It really isn’t that there is no pleasing me. It’s that he doesn’t care. It’s so bizarre because he claims to care and says that he wants to me be happy and less stressed. |
PP ask yourself why you have so much anger towards the pp? You know what they say about defensive people? We are hitting too close to the truth. Again why should it only be up to the wife to come up with $350 to "make HER life better?" A clean house helps everyone! |
dp I agree pp. The tone right from the start has been very negative. But, I think it is because it hits too on the nose. For me, I lowered my standards and my dh has picked up the slack in a lot of areas. |
Exactly. Like the solution of “just use a dishwasher” when everyone *knows* the results won’t be as good. It ignores the larger issue. |
Most people especially with small kids aren’t OK with big chunks of dirt constantly on the floor. |
Yes, dad privilege is claiming “it’s ok for the baby to crawl around on filthy floors! stop being a nag.” |
DP. Maybe most people are idiots who are making work for themselves they don't have to. Floor dirt is, at worst, harmless and probably beneficial for a small kid to be around. It's certainly not a "standard" to keep up if its making you and other people around you miserable. |
