    I’m glad everyone finds it weird and gross, but I’m also amused at how many people don’t know this is a five year old joke from a mommy blogger at this point.

    Never actually real, just meant to make people who were currently dealing with sticker boards and feeling weird about it chuckle.

      I’m appalled that you actually expect me to do research on memes and not accept them at face value. Leave my propaganda addled mind in peace dammit.

      It honestly blows my mind how many people on Lemmy are completely incapable of interpreting sarcasm. I know Poe’s Law and all that, but this is pretty clearly a joke.

        As has been pointed out before, Lemmy is mostly people who up and left Reddit.

        There’s a variety of different archetypes that did that.

        And it explains a lot of the more head scratching experiences I’ve had here.

        We live in a post Trump presidency, post Covid mandates world. Nothing is pretty clearly a joke anymore.

          Yeah, this. I’m certain there do exist people in this world who have a chart like this. Probably they just happen to enough sense to not post the chart online, or are too obscure for theirs to become the meme.

      Good catch, that’s really weird. They must be trying to enhance the battered spouse look because that guys looks like he had his soul sucked out through his nose after enduring a 10 round prize fight

    This image is a fractal of red flags. It’s almost art.

    “I won’t donate your favourite put stained shirt”

    What the fuck? One, it’s a dick move to dispose of his stuff, and two, why are you donating garbage? Does she think the poor want to buy stained clothes? It’s like that Seinfeld muffin bottom scene.

    Just all of this is awful.

    Edit: how far does the “get out of the dog house free” card go?

    Sure, she may have infantalized him to an embarrassing degree, but at least she posted it online so the entire world can see how unhealthy their marriage is and how transactional their sex live is.

      Sure, the spouse that has to create a reward system so that the other person does their chores is the one in the wrong, not the spouse that apparently needs parenting. Also, marriage is a favor to the former, not something both want and benefit from (/sarcasm).

        You say she “has to create” this and that he “apparently needs parenting”. Did you have some additional context that informs that opinion?

        Couldn’t there be other reasons, such as she just doesn’t like doing those particular chores?

    “Get out of the dog house card” isn’t going to work the way either of them think. Pulling that card when you’re in the doghouse is not going to make her fine with whatever upset her. There’s a good chance she’ll say she’s “fine” because she doesn’t want to renege on her chart, but whatever conflict isn’t going to resolve itself because he gave her that card.

    Trading sex for chores is gross. I don’t want a BJ or lap-dance from a partner that is only doing it because the sticker chart says she has to.

    It’s also insane that things like washing dishes or packing lunches or changing diapers aren’t part of the baseline expectations for a dad. You don’t get an award for doing the bare minimum!

    Both of these people are demonstrating the emotional intelligence of a block of cheese.

      I’m kind of disturbed by the fact that they call it “being in the dog house”… Is it a common expression in English?

        Yes, I’ve never heard a real person use it but I’ve heard it on TV enough to know what it means. I think it’s a boomer expression.

        It sound good till you actually experience that and realize how degrading it is.

        Look, I’m a male and I completely get the “I’m horny all the time” aspect of males, but… if she did this, that’s a complete downer for me. Mind you, I love sex, I would have it a few times a day if I could.

      This is the one that gets me the most. Like, I do the majority of a lot of these things in addition to taking my kid to daycare, doing almost all of the cooking, etc. I do it because I want to help my family, not because I’m saving up for a toothy blowjob.

    Step 1: drink water

    Step 2: piss

    Step 3: put seat down

    Step 4: repeat 5 more times

    Step 5: wait till I’m nagged

    Step 6: remind her of the toilet seat

    Step 7: continue ignoring child’s needs

    Step 8: ignore feelings of depression and ruminate about how fucked my life is
