[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tired. DH is very helpful but I’m tired of hosting. I’m tired of helping clean the house and shopping, prepping and cooking, cleaning. I want to be hosted! In-laws never offer and wait for you to offer to host. I oblige because I don’t want to not celebrate with them. We just did Thanksgiving. We’ve done every holiday since 2019. I’m done. [b]How to drop the rope[/b], or get DH on board. Because let’s be honest, DH is helpful, but majority of hosting falls on the women. [/quote] Don't mean to hijack your thread with this question, but... what does the bolded mean? I've seen this expression used a number of times on DCUM (usually in reference to either feeding like a doormat, creating boundaries or cutting off a toxic relationship/family member). Is there something in particular that this phrase is referenced from? [/quote] It comes from the game tug-of-war. You can end the battle immediately by dropping the rope. [/quote]
