[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if you do 80% of 70% of the things?[/quote]

What if you think the whole pie is 6 tasks and you do 80% of 50% of those and believe you’re killing it.

But the pie is actually 30 things but yours too self centered and ignorant to care, despite being told the 30 tasks and asked to pull your weight.

Then what? [/quote]

What if you insist on giving 100% to every task when 80% would do and you convince your husband into doing the same and now you’re both spending hours extra every week executing every chore to a perfect and complete standard?  What could you do with that extra time?  What is the opportunity cost?[/quote]
Lol

Like that’s what chaotic ManBabies are doing. Optimizing the household.

Lol isn’t an answer.  It’s a real question, and it’s not about optimizing the household.  It’s about optimizing your life.[/quote]

And guess what the best way to optimize your own solo life is: Do whatever the F you want and not a damn about anyone or anything else.

OPs spouse gets an A+ for optimizing HIS life.

Must be nice[/quote]

It’s a simple question for which you still have not provided an answer.  Can you honestly say that there is absolutely no better use of your time than matching kids’ socks for an hour?  You couldn’t use that time to take them to the playground instead, for instance?

Are you really so boring that you literally cannot thing of a single thing that would be more beneficial to your/your family’s well-being than 100% perfectly completed housework?

(And to address a previous concern, yes you should absolutely be applying this thought process at work as well.  The inability to recognize when a task needs to be completed to a bare minimum standard versus executed perfectly does not make you a better worker.  It makes you inefficient.)[/quote]

The beauty of your stinky BS is that it’s all subjective.

So to a selfish narcissist, it’s beneath him to sort and fold laundry, or put his dirty dishes away, or notice the trash can is overflowing and take it out, or talk with his upset daughter.  He’s so busy and important like you said, that he needs some decompression time on Netflix. That way he’ll be ready for tomorrow, when he again will work, eat, make messes, and need his decompression time. That’s the best most optimal plan for him, and exactly what he does. Day in and day out.
