Q – Do I switch on the dishwasher? It’s killing me. Knowing the dishwasher is full but just sitting there is KILLING ME. pic.twitter.com/2fXovlwpIR

I see that judgey fucking Twitter has woken up so let me say this once and be clear – We do not ‘live like this’. This is a lesson in wanting to be heard and respected and not having to repeat yourself when things slip. We’re navigating the day-today in extraordinary times and

for me, the past two days have been funnier than anything else. I think we’re all entitled to run our own experiments, be amused, push a situation to its limit if we so choose. No one needs to be lectured by those that have failed to see the silly joy in what’s happening here.

And every other loo! The toilet paper stacking is extremely Costco. There’s A LOT. Everywhere. SO MUCH LOO ROLL. pic.twitter.com/OIXSC0d5c6

We keep our homes tidy because love. We cook food and set tables and fill the air with scents of roses and fresh laundry because love. Love is patient but love is also fucking tired because she works 14 hour days.

I know we are ALL tired but I am most tired. Me. I AM ALL THE TIRED.

Dinner is happening. I have used two pans and one knife. The last knife. I’ve got 3 more pans and then it’s baking sheets 🙁

Me: Did you not want to switch the dishwasher on earlier?

You’re gonna have good days, bad days, and a lot of fuck it days, but people don’t like being taken for granted, especially by the ones they love the most. Period.

THAT IS NOT WORSE THAN ‘LIVE LAUGH LOVE’ but yeah, it’s close. I fucking hate myself. 🤮

And just a few of the many, many things people were saying about it.
I remember my dad, sat is his chair, pointing to the rain and saying to my mum, “look it’s raining and your washing is on the line”. She went out and fetched her things in and left his clothes on the line!

Good work. I did this at uni but my flatmates were so stubborn they just ate off textbooks & out of other things like glasses. Eventually I had to do it as the sink was full of maggots. Ah Uni, the best days of your life. 😳

I have 3 boys and my husband in the house with me. Some years ago when they were teenagers I told them I was doing a test on them but wasn’t going to tell them what it was. 10 toilet roll innards in the bathroom later it clicked what that test was.

Makes me think of a twitter post a long time ago commenting on a headline “Top 5 reasons your husband should clean the house” the person’s response was
“He lives there too.
He lives there too.
He lives there too.
He lives there too.
He fucking lives there too. “— Garret Pyth (@GarretPyth) March 18, 2021
Oh my days, this would be funny if it wasn’t so blood boiling. Why do women end up doing 90% of the general organisation and logistical work involved with running a household?

So true. My husband will say “just tell me what to do”. Why do I have to be the household project manager?

I go on these protests occasionally. I usually run out of glassware before it ends. Only trouble is, I live alone, which kind of defeats the purpose.
