People who praise their husbands on Facebook for cooking or cleaning a kitchen. Isn't this a little bit emasculating? Or is there a different word i'm looking for? Belittling?
I know someone who posts this stuff on FB about their husband all the time. It's 2015... the era of Susie Homemaker that was established by Good Housekeeping, Donna Reed Show, etc. in the 1950s is long gone.
Everybody has a role now. Men cook and clean. Women take kids to sports practice. I feel bad for this particular husband, always praised for the most basic stuff because it defies old stereotypes of what men's and women's roles are in a home. Hell, I cleaned the kitchen twice yesterday, cooked dinner, made food for my daughter. If my wife would have thanked me on social media for that I would have demanded she took it down.
- yup. it's totally condescendingGnash
- It's a passive aggressive way of saying she wants him to do more chores.i_monk
- how many posts does she put up about this? is it all the time? how would she feel if he posted "wife blew me tonight. 7/10"sarahfailin
- It's pretty frequent. With hashtags like #spoilsme and "ivetrainedhimwell" it makes me so grossed out.mg33

- It's nothing to do with hubby's cleaning, it's just attention whoring, which must be a first for Facebook.MrT

- cleaning the kitchen twice = wipe a surface of mess you made.
made food for daughter = heated up something out of fridge your wife made
:)fadein11 - Say something directly to her on Facebook. Otherwise you are complicit in the bullshit.cannonball1978
- ...or just unfollow that person (if you still want to stay friends). Like putting people on mute. It's wonderful.Peter
