Case in point.

Washing.

Hubby finally convinced me that he was more than capable of doing this.

I wrote down the complex instructions on how to use MY BRAND NEW machine...a total of 3 steps on a checklist which I placed on top of the laundry wall.

Under that, I added PLEASE NOTE :

Wash whites with whites

Dark colours go in separately

Bathroom towels go in separately

Toddler clothes go in separately

All good. So off he goes to do the washing...whilst I run upstairs to do some study.

After half an hour of not feeling right about the situation...I come downstairs to make everyone a cuppa ie to see if he was coping.

Here's your cuppa darling....what's in the machine atm?

Stop stressing. Everything's under control. I've got the whites going.

What whites?

Your undies, my sports socks, the kitchen tea towels.....

My response?

The spam filter on here won't allow me to say.i

For the same reason that women can't handle roughing it.

And by roughing it, I don't mean sleeping in a 4 room tent on a designated campsite for a long weekend.

lol now you're being sexist. Generalisation and stereotypes are harmful guys. I grew up surrounded by women who were every bit as tough as any man, you're looking at a very small pool of women I think.

*sigh*

It's usually more informative if I let you join the dots rather than spoon feed you. Too subtle I guess.

So...men don't get stuck into housework because we don't feel it as necessary. We can be quite comfortable sleeping in a swag in some shithole, whereas women are less tolerant of mess so feel it more necessary to maintain a higher standard of cleanliness in the home.

Oh. I see.

So basically...we're highly civilised human beings whereas you're still animals who are evolving.

Gotcha.

Thank you for spoon feeding me. Now..may I have my spoon back please? You won't be needing it anyway. Just use your fingers..yes?

Love camping..even with just a swag and no tent. Nothing better than the morning coffee brewed on the fire.

Hate housework.

Next.

Women can be incredibly tough. Maybe we are not a strong as men physically, but we are tough.

Childbirth ... for example.
