A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Where I'm from it's because their mother handles all that, and they leave messes because no one told them to clean it themselves because it's women's work.
MOOOOM! BAAATHROOOM!
Precisely. I watched an 8 year old walk out of a bathroom and demand their ass be wiped for them. I've also seen husbands angrily walk up to their wives and say the kid/pet puked/pissed/pooped on the floor without ever considering cleaning it themselves.
When i still lived with my ex, whoever saw the cat puke first simply cleaned it up. I can't even get into the mind of men who think cleaning is below them.
If our animals had an accident inside, and my wife is home, she takes care of it simply because I'll throw up myself.
However, if she's not here, I'll handle it (and mine lol) myself.
I vacuum, clean the windows, floors and shower. She dusts and takes care of the toilets. We share tasks in this house!
Good for you :-) Although i read that couples feel more equal and are less stressed if who does what type of work isn't fixed, and you switch it up once in a while, so that noone can feel like they are being exploited.
