[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think people are being a bit obtuse focusing on the individual tasks and arguing over whether or not they are important.

No, it's common sense.

When people assign importance to tasks, they can focus on more important tasks and de-prioritize things that are unnecessary. If your spouse and/or family is not contributing, that's even more reason to de-prioritize the unnecessary.

How can someone who doesn’t read any of their non-work emails or texts prioritize them? [/quote]

Who needs to be told the outfits and cookies aren't that important. Does your husband really need to tell you that?[/quote]

Husband says nothing since he reads no emails.

Ignorance is bliss.[/quote]

This isn't his first rodeo. In the past he said forget the green shirt, red dress and cookies and she told him that was the wrong answer. So he lets her do it her way and when she gets angry he refrains himself from telling her "I told you so". She's mad that she painted herself into this corner by insisting that this is all very important and simply must be done. He has given up.[/quote]

I would be shocked if he knew about the sweater and decided it didn’t need to be done.   [b]That’s just not how things work in most families.[/b]  [/quote]

What does this mean? [/quote]

The idea that there is a parent who reads through the emails and the Remind app and Troop track and all of it, knows what needs to be done, and then just doesn’t do it because their spouse will yell at them for not doing it right is kind of ridiculous.

I’m not saying that there isn’t some beleaguered dude out there doing this, but it’s not how most families work.

First to process the email processes it. Sometimes one person, sometimes the other.

Thus if you’re sitting in your @$$ after work whilst the other parent is cooking or driving or helping a kid with home, process tabs take care of the family emails instead of watching tv or fondling your of phone videos.

Pretty simple. All hands on deck from 6-9pm when kids are involved. [/quote]
