Do you have any unpopular opinions???VOL....2

[Comparison Ford]

I take out the trash because my wife does most of the cleaning, but it absolutely kills me when she just lets the garbage overflow and stink up the kitchen if I'm away for a bit.

She's a former personal trainer and she's still in great shape, so it's not like it's too heavy for her to handle. There's no damn reason she can't take care of it in my absence, same way I do all the cleaning/laundry while she's away.

Imagine needing a reason/excuse to take out the trash at your own house

NT is not a real place .

 

[StillNice$hoes247]

I’m with DC on this one .

Public Enemy There is no untold story that exists.

frankmatthews So like I asked the others, if your daughter was taking out of the trash in a house with a full grown man you wouldn't speak up on that?


Empty the trash before you leave. She ain't making that much trash while you are away. Dump it when you get back.

Speak up and say what exactly? That she should make him do it? Manufacture some sort of implied disrespect or lack of love based on this? I'm not inserting myself in an adult relationship over god dam taking out the trash lol. Like I said, I don't see the big deal about a woman taking out trash in the way you seem to so I wouldn't even think to speak up about it or view it as something that needs to be addressed. I'm just trying to understand this perspective cause maybe I'm missing something, is there a logic to this?

On another note, my kid, male or female would be taking out the trash long before they were old enough to run their own household. The whole chores and allowance thing. We not gonna skip over taking out the trash just cause she's a girl. I just dont see the issue i guess.

There's absolutely no logic to it, which is why I figured there had to be some personal story behind it. Like some lady was taking out his trash before he woke up in the morning and then she tried to be the big spoon or something

Like I just don't get the fervor with this one thing. I'm so curious since DCAllAfrican confirmed there's no personal/relationship story behind it, what the insistence is, since there's no logic (confirmed by the Napoleon Dynamite/Cambage example) and no story. Job isnt at "Big Garbage", it's teaching, so I know you arent like trying to capitalize off research that shows when men take out the trash they use more trash bags and so you don't want to undercut the bag market if a sizeable amount of women started being heretics and taking the garbage out.

So what is it? Cmon, tell us, this is too fascinating

Why are you absolutely 1000% "I'll die on this hill" dead set on making sure a man must take out the trash in a heterosexual relationship?

I'm convinced people have pets because you're "supposed to"

Don't get the appeal of having your house smell like an animal and having its fur all over the place

MAN!!!!
I think chicks "love" pets because it makes them seem nurturing, and guys "love" pets because it appeals to chicks.

It's all an image game.
GOTTA be, because like you said: there's no way, man.

 

[Comparison Ford]

Nah dogs are cool as he’ll.

Nobody will ever be as loyal to you as your dog will. All they know is love.

Warm Take

Parents feeding their OWN children candy is counterproductive. The world is already going to throw Da Sugar in their direction so there's no point in aiding in that battle.

School, friends, grandparents (especially) will spoil them and throw the junk in their direction.

Plus children will simply eat whatever is IN the house so if you don't keep that stuff in the house 75% of the struggle is already taken care of.

And to the, "Ehhh why won't you let a kid be a kid" first responders; they will be fine and get over it.

Thoughts B Sox solewoman ?

We have a serious no candy rule. We didn’t let our kids have anything not naturally sweet until maybe 2. We also don’t let them eat anything with dyes. As a result my kids love fruit and make sure they bring home any candy or something they don’t normally eat and ask before eating it. They do eat cookies and other sweet junk but mostly organic Annie’s brand or bobos or zbars.

We aren’t super serious about it, but we also don’t go out of our way to buy candy for them. If they get it from birthday parties or grandparents or whatever, we let them have some.

So I guess I agree with you.

I've said this about SHOES on here for years and people have always pushed back.

Eh don’t completely agree with the OG tweet.

Women do care about your clothes but only to a certain degree. Same thing with being in shape.

Once you go to either extreme in each category you’re losing the plot.

They make dogs that don’t shed and the house smelling like dog is a person problem not a dog problem. The house would probably smell without the dog.

 

[Comparison Ford]

I was gonna say, if your house smells like dog it’s because you’re a dirty-*** person and need to clean more.

Never had that problem.

I'm in dozens of homes every week.
I've been in homes that were damn near immaculate* but I can tell that they have a dog without them telling me.
'Dog' is a smell.
I smell it.

*I'm not talking about 'tidy', where I can tell that they just put away their bills and put the dishes in the dishwasher right before I came over. I'm talking about like the home itself looks like a ****ing museum... but I smell 'dog.'

We often do this thing where someone says something we don't agree with so we make it a disrespectful thing about them.
"House smells like dog? Nah, it must be that you're dirty."
That's certainly possible with some of the people & homes we're talking about, but certainly not all... because separate from the cleanliness of the owner, dogs smell.
If someone doesn't recognize that, maybe it's because they've been raised around dogs their whole life.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Agreed. darthska

Yea it's also possible people that live with dogs are so used to the underlying dog smell that they think it doesn't exist.

 

[WASHED KING]

Pet smell is completely dependent on the home owner.

Also non shedding dogs >>>>

Trash takes on both sides, honestly

Yeah I’m still gonna think you suck at cleaning or you don’t bathe your dog enough if your house constantly smells like dog.

Many ways to solve that issue.

 

[aepps20]

I find it sad how people talk about how much they want kids then talk about how miserable their lives are after they have them. Nasty work IMO.

 

[spizike231]

No sleep. No moneys. Can’t do anything with kids. Sickness vessels. So many complaints.

Then they try to save it with “but i love my kids idk what id do without them, they make me so happy” lmao

 

[frankmatthews]

Whats worse, kids or dogs?

At least the kids will eventually start cleaning up after themselves.

I actually really love dogs and animals in general. I completely get the appeal of having a pet. But I will never have a dog living in my house for exactly the reasons mentioned in here. They're unclean and smelly. I could never really be comfortable or at ease in a dog home.

Just like smokers don't think their house smells like cigarettes but a non smoker can tell right away

You can tell right away. That and the cars smell like dogs which isn’t good
