Must be nice to be a man and feel absolutely zero guilt or concern while you sit on your arse in front of the tv as your wife frantically runs herself into the ground with the never ending grind of holiday cooking/cleaning/gifting/wrapping/decorating/tidying/arranging/crafts/familial politics
it always bewilders and offends me that at family gatherings all of the women are up cleaning, cooking, clearing the table after dinner, bringing snacks out, etc., and all of the men are just relaxing and sitting around. I’m also up cleaning, clearing peoples’ plates, etc., because I’m expected to do that as a female, while my male cousins get to sit around and chill. Even the male relatives that I like just sit around and chat and don’t seem to notice that my sister and I are constantly being called into the kitchen and they’re not.
so anyway yeah if you’re a male you should seriously try to pay attention to who’s doing all the work and who’s allowed to sit and chill (probably you) and maybe like, get up and insist on helping…
the most offensive is when they sit around and WATCH YOU run about cleaning and make comments? like my dad will be like “oh make sure you get that too” but not even in a malicious way and I’m like….did it ever occur to you….you could be helping too….because it’s not my fucking job…..
Another reason why I despise family gatherings.
Like we had some of the dudes help but yeah I do remember some celebrations going like this.
So are we just gonna bitch about it online or ask the men to help? Cause you're literally doing nothing right now.
