Since this was only a few years ago, being as you are in your early twenties, did they think about putting up a bat house? Those things are really cool.
Do you put hotdogs in your ramen? Not judging. It is quite common. The chicken looks pretty good actually. I would have covered it in Frank's Red Hot
Buffalo Sauce. (not sponsored)
I am in awe of people who can do that themselves.
I think when you are a mom you put up with a lot more stuff.
What is the difference between cooking and "chef"ing? Sorry, I'm American.
murder was the only option available at the time. There were hundred in the attic. I wish we had taken video of them leaving one night. It was hilarious, but almost killed me mum at the same time
I haven't yet, but the kiddos would fucking love that. Thank you!
There is a vinaigrette on the salad that is almost imperceptible. It worked to rub the chicken in that, but you're right the Frank's© would've been a great choiceThe chicken looks pretty good actually. I would have covered it in Frank's Red Hot
Haha - that's not a British v American thing. It's probably a @Wand3rlust thingWhat is the difference between cooking and "chef"ing? Sorry, I'm American.
That sounds wonderful. I've never been "Wand3rChef'd" before. I would be happy to clean up afterwards.
Right? If that's the menu, I'll do the dishes however the hell you want
Huh. All this time that's what I thought men were for.
What? I thought you only had one child, default.
Why can't you just read our minds???
I, too, would be willing to be Chef'd by @Wand3rlust. Because that sounds delicious!
But of course!
Yard work, putting things together, any maintenance item, honestly doing anything productive.
With our special needs son, I am the one who usually calms him down. I also handle the errands when it comes to his appointments.
I just try to be respectful.
I can do the basics for plumbing, basic home/auto repair. I'm scared to death to do anything electrical.
I'd work on getting it out while telling her and him to relax.
I love to cook. Always have. I was in the restaurant industry since I was 14 before officially stopping a few years ago.
She has things she does. I have mine. Rarely do the boundaries cross.
There's a list. (Been a while since I used that line.
Hell yeah. Just gimme a towel to dry the dishes with
We're still awaiting the results of the paternity test
They're too complex! And they change on a whim!
I wasn't aware that Crossfit had a plumbing division
Can I embroider that on a tea towel?
Most of my "womanly" skills are pretty practical; gardening, sewing, home canning, etc. don't make me feel feminine so much as put upon. If I don't do it, who will.Anyway, the point of this one is male/female traditional roles and how triggered we are to even point them out.
What traditional ‘around the house’ activity makes you “feel like a man” or “feel like a woman”?
Pegging? Just kidding
.I enjoy chivalry. Going to events or nights out, are some of the few times I get to feel feminine & cared for.
I can build you a home from excavation to shingles. However, my car is run by Gandolph for all I know.
Bats are adorable sky puppies, I'd probably calmy try to catch it so I could take a picture & name it before I released it, whilst my city-boy spouse cried in the corner.
Yes, I'm an excellent cook. I grew up being volun-told in a family catering business. I can cook for 5 or 500, nothing inbetween.
We divide labor pretty evenly, each doing what we're best suited for
Goood Lord, just talk about how you're actually feeling. The world will not come to an end if you talk something through.
*pinch*
I have no problem with the idea of the face place! I think you should be in charge of making up old sayings.
I don’t like to feel trapped by expectations of me. I like to cook. I like to keep things tidy and clean. I do not like to clean up after others all day or be responsible for getting others to so for themselves. I like to make my home pretty and cozy.Anyway, the point of this one is male/female traditional roles and how triggered we are to even point them out.

I like to just give projects a shot. I paint. I powerwash the siding of the house and driveway. I changed the headlights on my car. I know a lot about certain models of cars because of my dad. I don’t want to wait around for someone else to do something if I can do it myself. I’m not sure if that is manly or stubborn.
I appreciate it when I know that someone is going out of his way to show me that he cares. That is how I view chivalrous treatment. I do not like it when it crosses in to being talked down to or not taken seriously.
I really don’t mess with electricity or water. I know my limits. I can really cause a lot of damage if I try to fiddle with those projects. I’d rather hire a professional- male or female- to do the job right.
Open the doors and windows and enjoy a cup of coffee while I read a book.
I love to cook. Sometimes after a long day, I’d rather not, and I’m happy to let someone else cook. But for the most part. I enjoy it and do most of the cooking and he does the dishes.
What’s with leaving cabinet doors and drawers open? That drives me insane.
Are you sure you want us doing that?
I guess cooking... that's pretty gender neutral these days, but growing up my mother was the one who cooked, so I guess I get it from that
I rarely wear makeup or get dressed up. I'm pretty independent & do things for myself.
I prefer non-traditional roles. Chivalry in a relationship makes me feel like I'm not being seen for me, but I'm just fitting into a mold for someone. I've been there, it's not fun.
I'm all right... I've been learning more in the last few years since my parents have gotten too old to do things for themselves. I've installed a sink & a light fixture!
Not so calmly catch it, I think
I can follow a recipe. I'm not good at just throwing things together. It's a necessity for me, but I liked doing those meal kits the two times I tried them.
I don't live with a partner, but I'm all for splitting things evenly.
I'm not sure I understand the question... I mean, I can't understand what it's like to live in the world as a man, I guess.

Laundry definitely feels traditionally feminine to me, the same way grocery shopping and cooking or baking does. There’s something really satisfying about knowing I’m the one who made sure the clothes are clean, the fridge is full of their favourite things, and there’s a meal waiting that says I was thinking about them.
Ladylike women bite their tongues and I’m not very good at that
I’ve always treated people with respect and care, and that just deepens when I’m in a relationship. I love being the one who brings comfort - serving a meal, making sure his keys and wallet are where they should be, rubbing his back or feet after a long day. It feels good.
I’ve done some basic auto and home repair. I’m not an expert, but I can follow a YouTube tutorial like a champ.
I know this one, I know this one!!
Absolutely, I can cook and usually I enjoy it unless I’m feeling burned out.
We definitely divide up responsibilities in the house. I have no interest in changing the water tank filters and he has no interest in decorating for Christmas
it makes things simple. What I don’t understand about men or women is how some people can see someone clearly struggling and feel nothing. Like… really? You’re that emotionally unavailable on purpose? That’s not mysterious, that’s just boring
I have a Y chromosome. I feel like a man when I tackle an automotive issue and crush it. I also feel like a man when I build something. It's been my experience that these skills are fading from commonality so I'm doing my best to make sure all of my kids know some basics of everything. I also feel like a man, and a proud father, when my kids take what I've taught them and they apply it.Sexparation of Powers
There’s an old saying, “A woman’s place is on my face”. Okay, that’s not an old saying, I may have made that up, but I like it.
Anyway, the point of this one is male/female traditional roles and how triggered we are to even point them out.

I can cook fairly decently, but I come from a family that's been in food service for decades and have done some nationally significant catering events. Oddly, catering and professional cooking has been a male-dominated vocation, despite most people thinking women cook more than men.
I don't particularly care about roles, I'm much more concerned with teamwork and thriving together. Regarding chivalry, I believe and have taught my kids to treat everyone with dignity and respect. Hold a door for a woman, but also hold it for a man that is coming in after you unless he indicates he'll take the door. More frequently than I'd like, I tell my boys that they shouldn't be walking through a door their little sister is holding open. She's trying to be kind and respectful, which is amazing, but they should take the responsibility of holding the door from her. It's not sexist, it's not promoting inequality, it's showing that you have respect for all people, and especially women.
I get uncomfortable bragging, but it'll suffice to say I know IBC, NEC, NFPA, etc. I am subscribed to more high performance building science YouTube channels than any other genre.
First off, I will NEVER call a Marine for help (Fly, Fight, Win!).
Like to? It's been a while since it hasn't had stress overload upon the act. But yes, I can cook.
My (soon-to-be ex) wife has been a stay-at-home mom for 90%+ of the two decades we've been together. So there are a lot of tasks that should have been hers to manage given the nature of the relationship. Did I end up stepping in on every domestic responsibility? Yup. Did my own laundry for over a decade because I couldn't count on her to have my uniforms clean. I've always had to be the one to deep clean when I can't take it any longer.
Men - why do you have to be sick assholes.
Scaredy-cat!
