I love my wife and all, but Jesus Hercules Christ...

[old goat]

I do the cooking, dishes, and whatever else needs to be done. My wife does the stuff that doesn't need to be done.

It’s funny how the turntables have…turned.

In college guys were complete slobs. We just duct taped garbage bags over our sink when nobody did dishes to prevent the fungus spores from shedding.

I’d love going to a girl’s house. Toilet paper instead of stolen napkins from Burger King, cups and glasses instead of mushy 3 day old fast food cups, you could almost shower without wearing footwear.

What happened? My wife is a dam slob.

I was NEVER that disgusting 🤮

My sophomore year I lived in a shit hole party house. Keg in the center of the living room carpet, interior doors were beer pong tables, etc.

It was bad.

Ever turn an entire closet into a dumpster? Build stadium seating in the living room? Run tubing and funnel from your window up to your loft bed so you could piss in the middle of the night? Keep a goat in the basement? Remove a downspout gutter and replace it with a permanently attached two story bong that caught rain water for the bubbler? Had the upstairs shower rot out and fall into your kitchen?

Would be fun to have a college house thread.

Ha.

I did turn our front steps handrail into a 10ft steamroller with pvc pipe.

Very similar. Bottle rocket wars in the hallway became too pedestrian and we graduated to indoor roman candle wars. I am not sure how we avoided a fiery death.

Piss funnel makes sense.

You lost me at the goat in the basement. wtf??

[old goat]

We played hockey on the tile floor of our dorm hall. With a puck. Fucked up the walls pretty good. Guy rode down the stairs in a big garbage can on wheels. That only happened once.

Well, there was a goat that lived in the basement. Not ideal for a goat so we donated him to a local farmer type at some point.

Many people don’t know just how large the San Jose open air flea market is, and that on any given weekend, a college student could, hypothetically of course, wake up and drink 8 beers, deep fry a pickle in the Fry Pappy, head to the market and buy any class of ungulate and bring it home. For some people with little foresight, this is a good idea.

He did enjoy some outdoor time and the backyard had plenty of avocados and limes. That guy would piss hot fire.

I almost got that way living the life as a lifty when I was 19/20. My roommate one day had an intervention and basically told me the way I was heading was unacceptable and to get my shit together and be cleaner.

So I went down to the daycare and asked the girls working if I could borrow some cleaning supplies because they should have lots, right? They hooked me up! Vacuum, some of that sprinkly carpet stuff that makes the place smell nice, box of j-cloths, spray bottles with WHMIS labels on them. Did a full cleanse of that place while my buddy was out hitting on waitresses or whatever. Never been a slob since. Thanks Jay, I owe you one.

Neither of us particularly mind cleaning or chores, so we both do what’s in front of us and honestly don’t spend a lot of time keeping score. It tends to divide up along fairly traditional lines when there’s a lot to do, like if there is mowing or snow removal or something “handy” that needs doing. And she’s firmly in charge of laundry though I’ll pitch in and fold a basket or two when that’s what we’re doing. Works well when you aren’t using it to gather ammunition.

We don’t really assign the kids much in the way of chores, outside of keeping up their own personal spaces. It’s a near useless exercise when they’re here half the time, and I can’t say I really learned anything meaningful by doing chores myself when I was a kid. Instead we try to model what keeping up a home looks like and what taking care of your family and loved ones looks like. Maybe they’ll be useless creatures when they move out on their own, but I suspect they’ll figure it out just fine and have some standards to hit.

This is kind of how we do it. We're both considerate people and cleaning and chores just get naturally divided and/or shared.

And same about not assigning the kids a bunch of chores other than cleaning their rooms once in a while and not leaving messes around the house for us to clean up. They both have part-time jobs and homework and sports to keep them plenty busy. Assigning chores around the house just causes innecessary resentment IMO.

As in, pick your battles. But then again from the outside your girls seem to have it together.

In a way, yeah. It's easier to just do the chores yourself than create an unpleasant culture of nagging in the house, and for what. When I was growing up I thought chores sucked. Now I don't actually mind doing that stuff around my own house. Plus I can make sure it gets done right. [emoji2]

[plugboots]

Woah. I learned very very early on to have a clean bathroom and a clean bed and be able to make at least one thing for dinner because I liked sex.

Yep. Sometimes anyway.

I bet that fucker was delicious.

[old goat]

I was in the kids have enough to do without household chores. My wife was in the kids need to do chores camp. That's how each of us was raised. For the most part my philosophy won out. It doesn't seemed to have harmed the kids. IME how kids relate to their parents is not necessarily how they relate to the rest of the world.

[Art Shirk]

I bet that fucker was delicious.

I mean it’s not like we didnt think about that.

But he didn’t only eat avocados and limes. He ate everything that touched the ground on that backyard. Lung darts, Natty cans, whatever he could munch. Probably not a top contender for a Luau

… I assume you’d use this brand of bbq sauce?

[Art Shirk]

If I had ice’s home address, a few bottles of that would already be on the way. Too good.

This all the way. I was into women much more than anything else in life. The good ones don’t like slobs.

You have been in me
And understandably
I have been in 'n' outta you (in 'n' outta you, in 'n' outta you)
And everywhere, you want me to (in 'n' outta yoooou)
Yes you know it's true;

And while (I was inside)
I might have been (undignified)
And that is maybe (why you cried)
I don't know, Maybe so
But what's the difference now?

I have been in you baby
You have been in me
Aw' little girl there ain't no time
To wash your stinky hand
Go head 'n' roll over
I'm goin' in you again
In you again
In you again
In you again...

[oftpiste]

I see you’re in your manic phase
