At least when you kill bad guys and dragons, they stay dead. The trouble with folding dishes and washing clothes is that it keeps needing to be done.

    One of these days I'm going to finally win at cooking so that I don't need to do it ever again, which will also cover dishes. Then it's time to really grind laundry until I do the same there. Don't give up!

    Sisyphus, that bastard with his tasks!

    And you cant defeat that boss, no no, that boss is well beyond epic tier and you have to game the system to defeat him.

    Which.. women pick up. Because it happens more than enough.

    That worked fine until kids, now it's like trying to manage a barn

    Que sera! My house is a disaster, and we pick it up once a week only to have it disasterize itself again in a couple days anyway. And we harp on the kids, but in the same way my folks harped on me, so obviously it's just in my genes and so fuck it.

    My house is also spotless if we have people by, but during the week, things just pile up, and we just keep our heads above water.

    I do all the laundry, clean the kitchen and empty/fill the dishwasher. I've got a bit of a routine and it works. She cooks and does the bathrooms. Division of labour is the key. Took us a few years and many arguments to settle into our lanes and now it's fine.

    Today, my partner, who took a week off work to play video games, asked me if I was going to do the grocery shopping.

    If you said no, do you think they would have done the groceries?

    Have they done the same amount of chores at home during their vacation, than they would do when they are working? I dont think one person being on the vacation should mean they need to do every chore at home.

    If they have done less than normally then i fully understand the frustration, but if they have done their part, or more than that i think its selfish to think that they should be doing everything.

    How often will you ever fight a dragon? Once, maybe?

    Fuck folding sheets because someone else wants it done, 3 times a week for the next 40 years.

    Not even close to being the same.

    3 times a week... you're showing your relationship issues a bit there by not knowing how basic human chores work.

    It does come across a bit "how much could a banana cost" to anyone who's actually doing washing in a relationship.

    Considering how much we sweat in our sleep and whatever else people do on their sheets. 3 times per week isn't really that extreme. Not that I change my sheets that often, but I really probably should.

    Sweating that much in your sleep is not as common as you think.

    I've met few people who do sweat so much if they are heavy drinkers at night though. I have an ex that started drinking heavy when his best friend died and you could see the sweat stains in the morning. Never used to be like that before he started drinking. Thankfully he was raised to do his own laundry like any capable adult should. Didn't save the mattress though.

    Even medically with dust allergies they perscribe to change once a week. Weirdly they print it out too to hand it to you like it's a guide.

    There aren't many dragons around here. We're too quiet to attract the attention of bad guys. However, I both do laundry and load the dishwasher. I'm also the cook. Been doing this since well before I retired. One of my sociology students actually told me it was "gay."

    Folding laundry is basically like fighting a dragon. These damn fitted sheets, man.

    But I gotta do what I gotta do. These dragons aren't gonna fight themselves.

    Do adults really not know how to find fitted sheets? You fold it basically like a regular sheet, but tuck the corners inside each other.

    Whenever I tuck the corners into each other I end up with a lumpy irregular polygon which can’t be folded neatly like flat sheets

    If you pull up the fitted part, you can establish parallel sides so you can form it into a rectangle that can be folded neatly

    “Pull up” like three dimensionally? I do the best I can to square the blob up but always end up with too much fabric on the fitted corner to get a clean neat fold.

    I’m the designated one who “knows how to fold fitted sheets” in our household btw 🤣

  • source

    Yes, three dimensionally. Pull it up, and make a fold from the sewn point of the fitted corner parallel to one folded edge, and then the other edge likewise parallel to the remaining side. Now that you have a nice rectangle, lay the bunched portion down as flat as you can, and continue folding. Ta-dah.

    I've learned how; can't speak for everyone though. But they're the ones that take the longest time due to the intricacy.

    I'm also very meticulous about folding laundry, so everything fits nice and tidy in the linen closet.

    I watched a video once and it was like 17 steps to do it so I couldn't actually follow it. I did get the put the corners inside each other part though, and if you do that it gets you at least somewhat folded enough to stack with the rest of them.

    You can block them so you don't have to see it.

    If what they're doing is egregious, against community or instance rules, stalking, harassing, etc you can report them which notifies the mods of the community the post or comment is in, the admins of the instance of the community the post or comment is in, and the admins of the user's instance.

    Edit: Found the context- https://lemmy.world/comment/23272922

    If you feel that he implied you were a pedophile, and he disagrees, then fucking report it to mods/admins and let them sort it. I'm not seeing anything but bog standard responses to some of your posts that you respond to with your little copy pasted message. I could understand if they kept making references to it, but I don't see where it's been brought up where you didn't.

    Just report and block and move on with your life.

    You're also a very frequent poster on /memes, so you're gone live with me interacting with the posts and that's that.

    You don't just "act not seriously", you are actively being a prick. You called me sexist for calling out your sexist meme, and your said with no basis that you think I don't want to see women in memes.

    Then you were a dick to everyone talking to you.

    You aren't just "being silly" like you claimed.

    Let's get the full story from both sides. You're no saint.

    We just split responsibilities by our ability and our schedule, and communicate to get it done. Somedays I have more stamina and headspace to do certain things and vice versa... sometimes we give up until tomorrow if it isn't urgent. It'll get done one way or another, and then we can goof off a bit together.

    I enjoy the cleaning. It gives me purpose and makes me feel useful.
