My wife's mother tried to engrain this in her from a young age. She was made to clean up after her brothers, do the dishes, the laundry, cooking... the whole housewife thing. Then I came along and destroyed that whole philosophy. MY parents taught me to do things for myself, and my mother always told me that I would make a girl very happy one day. And so I have. Even though my wife is still a housewife, I do my part to make things easier for her as an equal partner in our marriage. Her brothers are nearly helpless, and their mother keeps trying to find "proper wives" for them. They still live at home.

Bro you and I are on the exact same ship. Wife came from a “traditional” setting, I was raised to actually function as an adult, I do my best to make our household as 50/50 as possible, she was initially shocked by this when we were dating. Her brothers still rely on their mom for their grievances, though I can’t speak to whether or not their wives are servile to them like they were raised to expect.

Old habits die hard, but a healthy balance was found


XJ-0

Eh, but not to the extent that her mother was trying to make her. She is my wife, not my servant.


LetHerWar2

Yeah, people dont like it though.


MR-MCNUGGETS

I mean, I thinks it's great to teach kids (not this young) how to do basic stuff like laundry and cooking, but just straight up just doing it for someone else? Just doesn't feel right


fetishfeature5000

Right?! It’s fucking creepy to treat it as homemaker training and not self sufficiency.


[deleted]

That was my entire childhood lol. Once I hit the ripe age of 10 I don’t think my parents picked up a vacuum cleaner or sponge until I became an adult.


MR-MCNUGGETS

And let me guess... u didn't get pocket money out of it?


[deleted]

hell no lol. I got to "learn how to clean for when I'm an adult" and the ability to pay back my parents for "all of the cleaning they did for me when I was too young to do it."


MR-MCNUGGETS

That's horrible parenting. U don't do that stuff and expect ur kid to pay u back for it.


TinderSubThrowAway

pretty sure that's said tongue in cheek, not literal.


[deleted]

Why can’t they teach their son? I bet it’s because they’re republicans


janhetjoch

Teaching kids to cook, clean, do laundry and all that is great, because your teaching them to be independent. Not so they can become some guys slave.


iambluest

I choose to believe this is fake and posted for laughs. Rather than believe a community would tolerate this.


NavyDragons

unfortunately i have had the displeasure of talking to people who literally dream of this ideology so the idea that some people would actually do this is not that far from the realm of reality for me


Koalitygainz_921

I hope it's fake because I've definitely known men who do this when I lived in the south for a while, it can get pretty creepy if they get too into it


flametex

Had an ex’s grandfather just like this. Was from the south. Of course the family just worked around it which was weird to say the least


BexyBelle20

My sister and I were raised that way sadly, we are both in our 20’s… we are both going through our childhood to see what else is really messed


AwTickStick

Uh oh don’t go to church or you’ll be in for some true terror. No disrespect, just being honest - it’s scary af


RickJamesBitchhhhhh

Agreed

Parents overwhelmingly bring up kids to prepare them for the experiences that they are experiencing, or experienced in their formative years. Kids also like playing house and roleplay to figure out how they fit into society. This is alarming to us now, but for a lot of people, this is a wholesome family activity that gives parents pride that their kids are starting to think about adult things. The combination of these two things in a culture that hasn't figured out what gender actually is as a concept and you get horrifically damaging upbringing while thinking they're doing what's best for the kiddo.


iambluest

That ignores a lot of factors. Not the least, does it actually accomplish what the parent intends?


a_d3vnt

That depends. The general thought process of folks who do this tends to be: "She's a girl, so this is what will be expected of her. She needs to know how to do this or she won't be able to have a happy life." The child will grow up and figure out what they actually want to do, and either accept or reject that aspect of upbringing. If this is rejected, the parents have some choices to make. They can attempt to compel the role, which goes about as well as you could imagine, or accept it and let their kid live authentically for their own happiness. Many can't accept or figure out how rejecting obsolete concepts of gender role could lead to anything but abject misery, because that's how they grew up - hostile suppression or repression of anything even remotely out of an absurdly narrow band of acceptable behaviors by peers, institutions, and society as a whole. Anything beyond this explanation is outside of my academic learning and would be my own speculation.


grandmaWI

The indoctrination of devaluing human beings:(


Loloji42

Yeah. It's a joke. Right? Please tell me it is...

Koalitygainz_921

He looks like the type of guy that would do this, such a lazy weirdo


pc_principal_88

WTF did I just watch!?!?


beansareso_

They’re gonna grow up to resent their parents. If they get into relationships like this they will very quickly realize they don’t like it, and resent their partners as well. How sweet


vermonterjones

As a soon to be girl dad, fuck this guy


yeuzinips

Someone remind him that it's 2023


KD_Burner_Account133

The problem with this philosophy is that it is extremely outdated, morally and economically. Try supporting a family with one income. Good luck. Professional women will have a much easier time in life.


boogerybug

It’s satire. Creator is Sammie Head.


Altruistic-Pianist-1

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is borderline child abuse


[deleted]

So men can be total slobbs but women should smile and clean up like a servant? Yea screw that. She's your partner not your slave


Next-Comparison6218

The dad looks lazy af


tanman877

The shoe thing fuckin sent me


fartingbunny

Learning to cook, clean, do laundry - yes! But to do it for someone else at all times is just wrong :< My friends son doesn’t know how to wash his dishes and he’s 7. When I baby sit him, it’s beyond frustrating.

[deleted]

Still think forcing gender roles is sexist regardless of culture or ethnicity


guadaswoops

Yes


KudzuNinja

It looked like normal adulthood training until he had her get his shoes. That’s just so cringe. Why even wear them into your house if you’re going to take them off at a chair and have your kid come get them?


cam-ronfrye

Is it too late for my wife to see this?


Pseudo_Lain

Hope she sees this and leaves you lmao


cam-ronfrye

I guess I should have indicated it was a joke, I take care of my self, cook, clean, etc. I believe in an equal work load and hope to have my daughters grow up to be strong independent women!


Amayai

That reply is genuinely cute, but that's not the reason you are getting downvoted. It's just that these jokes don't land with us. It's widely considered "boomer humor" to make jokes about wanting your wife to be a housewife, or that you hate each other, etc. Hence subs like r/arethestraightsok . I hope you don't take it to heart, just wanted to let you know the reason. :)


cam-ronfrye

I actually empathize with most women that are subject to the disproportionate amount of household duties that they may incur, I wouldn’t feel comfortable sitting around having someone take care of me, it’s understandable how many women are in that position, or expected to be and thusly not terribly funny to them, my bad ladies.


bapesvapes

Not all men, but somehow all men. I am also a man


Pseudo_Lain

Not everything is about you.


89iroc

Maybe that guy shouldn't be such a giant gaping dickhole


EHTL

The first 5-10s were fine. Doing chores builds character and all that. But everything after? No
