Girlfriend Gives Up Teaching Boyfriend How To Do Chores After Multiple Tries

As human beings, whether male or female, it's our responsibility to learn how to do chores because one day, our parents won't be there to do it for us. Plus, we won't remain children forever, so we need to learn how to be proper members of society and take care of ourselves and our surroundings.

This is pretty common logic, right? It's something that doesn't even need to be said or a rule that needs to be written.

Unfortunately, some people are too spoiled by their parents and have never experienced doing chores in their childhood. While that is sad in and of itself, it's even sadder that some of them don't even have the initiative to learn.

There are some who take it upon themselves to get educated on the ways of the household, and that, in itself, is already admirable. Sadly, some people only end at the wanting stage and don't progress to the action stage.

In this AmITheAsshole story, Redditor notmymainobvii's boyfriend took the initiative to learn how to do household chores when he moved in with her, so she tried to teach him. After multiple attempts, however, she has grown tired of it.

A lot of Redditors have agreed that OP is definitely not the jerk in this situation. Her boyfriend could definitely do better if he wanted to.

Here are the top comments.

Google made life easier in a lot of ways, but it also did this sadly

It doesn't even seem like he has been in the oven yet. He's just dough at this point.

Living on his own is a great idea since it would force him to not just learn but actually do the chores himself.

What's coming out of his mouth and his real intentions might be very different.

So what if you get weirdly shaped chunks instead of cubes? At least it's still cut if he at least tried.

Oh, it's not just sexual attraction that we'll be losing for a guy like that.

We'd love to see the look on his face when she says this to him.

He's 23. Of course, he'd be capable of learning and doing because he's a grown adult.

Diamond_Mind4321

It's like he just started out willing, all so he can get the ultimate excuse of just not being good at it.

unluckysupernova

People doing chores are everywhere - at home, on TV, in the streets. It's impossible not to figure it out.

CarolynEarle

If he acts any more stupidly, he might just lose her, and he kind of deserves it.

Helping each other doesn't mean raising a child that you did not want.

ladyteruki

Best response to his lines: You just need more practice.

Ruskiwasthebest1975

He should have reflected on himself before he even thought of moving in with her.

Cat_got_ya_tongue

Does he not know about the existence of the internet and all its step-by-step wonders?

Once you get used to doing it for them, they already assume they've won.

They're life skills that are important to learn for everybody, not just the female species.

Ejclincoln

They failed at preparing their son for the real world.

Jemma_2

If he really was intent on learning, he would have already learned a thing or two.

ArmNo8807

It's part of a parent's responsibility to make sure that their children can fend for themselves.

Sadly, there is no lie in this.

megarammarz

Sadly, from OP's story, it's obvious that her boyfriend just really doesn't want to do the chores. If someone is truly intent on doing something, they would keep trying until they've learned how to do it.

Plus, it's chores. You can't just say you're no good at it because even if it's not done well, at least something is done, right?

Hopefully, he gets his act together and starts working soon for the sake of their relationship.
