Fed Up Wife, Tired Of Her Lazy Husband Not Helping Out, Seeks Revenge
Especially with kids, there are a lot of things that have to get done. Once they’re old enough, kids can and should help out too, but still, a large part of the daily tasks fall to the parents.
Let’s be real. A large part of the daily tasks fall to the wife. This is not always the case. We’re sure there are marriages where the husband does the dishes and folds the laundry more often than his wife. We’re sure there are marriages where the husband is the one who makes the bed and writes a grocery list. We’re sure this exists.
We also know from personal experience that the opposite exists too. Ladies, have you ever been busily cleaning the house on a Saturday while your husband sits on the couch watching whatever game is on?
You have your to-do list of chores that need to get done and your husband seems oblivious to the whole thing. When asking him for help, you might even get some response about how he’ll do it later or how you do it so much better and he’d hate to mess it up, like, he doesn’t want to learn the new way you’re folding clothes after watching Netflix’s “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo.”
Once again, we’re sure there are major exceptions out there, but funny mom blogger Karen Alpert can certainly relate. She runs the blog Baby Sideburns which has well over 300,000 followers on Facebook.
Alpert was so fed up with her lazy husband that she decided to get revenge in a completely hilarious (yet slightly mean) way. In a Facebook post, she wrote,
OMG my hubby has been lying on the couch all morning while I’m doing soooo much stuff so I finally got super annoyed and sent him to the grocery store… with a special shopping list. And yes, I turned my ringer off.
The picture of the list she gave her husband included made up items like “unsour cream” “seedless strawberries” and “diet diet coke.” She was even very specific adding comments like “you might have to ask because it’s new.”
Her post has been shared more than 58,000 times and has more than 19,000 comments. Many of the people who commented find the post hilarious and are tagging their husband for a laugh.
One comment reads, “Y’all my man hates going to the store. So i showed him this and he literally had no idea what was wrong with it. His roommate had to tell him.”
In a follow-up post, Alpert wrote,
Awww crap, I went grocery shopping this morning and look who I found. Guess he’s still looking for diet diet coke.
She posted a picture of her husband lying on the floor in the soda aisle of a grocery store, her special grocery list on his chest.
As one comment reads, “I Love this! The fact that he will just lay on the floor and let you take a pic of him is totally true love!”
Does your man enjoy grocery shopping? Would he know that most of the items on this list were fake (according to comments, organic pop-tarts actually exist but are really hard to find)?
