You should be doing that all year long. These are not ferral kind. You have a responsability to parent them.
Actually, the rush of the holiday is the time when they should participate slighty less if they are not old enough to do some task independently. Because you must move quick and there is less time for teaching.My brother is the best chef in the family. You will always miss out on good food if you don’t screen all your kids for chef talent. Gender roles often lead to people not doing things they might be good at.
Considering gender roles, commercial kitchens are primarily and historically male dominated. The idea of the woman always being the cook is extremely antiquated.
They’re survival skills that everyone should know.
White culture is living in a concentrated period of open fascism, and having conversations with your friends about teaching men to do the dishes
Yep. One of the reasons women do all the housework, is because men where literally not taught how to. It may sound weird that someone can fix a car, paint a fence, but struggles with house chores.
It’s due to literally never learning to.
No one taught me how to fix a car or paint a fence, yet I can do both. So can countless others with no such training across literally the entire spectrum of human capability.
People who claim they don’t do housework because they ‘were never taught how’ are just feigning incompetence. I bet the vacuum becomes much less mystifying if I tie a $1000 prize to its successful operation, for example.
Sure but some people don’t claim incompetence they are (no jugment here) incompetent. If you tell someone do the laundry but he had no idea it means:
- sort the cloth
- select the cycle nor how to select a cycle
- add the detergent + any extraproduct
- run the cycle
- do that for each type on cloth you have sorted.
He might put white with colors, delicate with cotton. Add detergent but nothing to prevent color leaking. And select a cycle that too hot, damaging some cloth. He did it. He did his best. But his best is worst that when you are careless because he doesn’t know what he is doing. If you would have realized he was not taught to do the laundry, you would have give more explanation or a few smaller tasks.
Can someone recommend books on this topic? Ty
I assume the families that need to hear this won’t listen.
Every male in my family can cook and clean house.
And they cook better than their girlfriends/wives.
So yea, maybe hold your sexism.
Have you considered your family might be the exception and not the rule
… People don’t do this?
Plenty of people do this. But it’s great engagement bait to pretend otherwise
My wife has a bone cyst and her wrist is effectively unusable. Our teenage son volunteered to help me since we’re one cook down in the kitchen this year.
Good son
He is.
Good parents for raising good son
We’re trying.
Ah fuck, I replied to myself
We all make mistakes. It learning from them that is important. :)
Nobody likes a lazy MF.
Everyone better stay out of my kitchen. I’m all for teaching kids to cook. But I don’t want amateurs on the field during the Super Sowl of cooking days.
I like Super Sowl. I’m pretty sure it was a typo but please leave it as is. It’s got Sowl.
Setting the table would be an easy task that can be taught throughout the year, and that skill can then be employed during your super sowl.
They can set the table before I wake up. But when it’s time to cook I need them out.
Or, teach them to cook. Did that for years and now they have their own families and can cook their own meals.
Reread my earlier comment. I’m all for teaching them to cook. The rest of the year.
The heck is a thanksgiving?
Ritualized Turkey Murder
Note: Turkey is optional. Mostly because nobody ever does it well. It is always dry and tasteless.
We’re doing home made pizzas.
It is fun, and it requires little skill so everyone involved in the cooking process. Even the kids get involved to help.
Best part: Nobody spends all day slaving away in the kitchen not enjoying the holiday.
Vegans have Thanksgiving.
As a vegan, I hate Thanksgiving. Hate any holiday that requires sitting and eating for more than half an hour, to be honest.
Couldn’t there be a holiday where family gathers around the generational foosball table or the antique Wii? Eating is boring.
I mean you can set your own traditions.
Lord knows I did.
That’s part of growing up. You realize you have to be the change you want to see.
That is more a symbol of you then being a vegetarian. But thanks for letting us know you’re vegetarian. Tell me, do you use Apple or arch?
As a proud vegan, I think I can speak confidently for all vegans when I say Hanna Montana Linux, but I dual boot Temple OS.
Finally, the recognition I deserve.
It’s what Canada and the USA call their harvest festival. What does your country call it?
Maybe “Herbstfest”? But more of a local thing. “Jahrmarkt” is even more local. Both are some kind of village-wide market events, the first more fall-themed (and grapes because “Weinland” switzerland) with changing locations each year.
Looks like american thanksgiving is how christmas is for us?
We have three eating holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, and they’re all about the same. There’s loads of Germans and Dutch up here so people keep a lot of the European traditions, and I’d say you’re probably right that Thanksgiving is more like your Christmas.
We dont have one
Are you from another planet? Or a small tribe somewhere in the Pacific?
Every nation on the planet that plants food celebrates harvest.
Wow what a shame. That’s super uncommon, only a handful of countries in the world don’t have a recognized harvest festival.
In our house Mom was the chef and us boys were the su-chefs. If you want to live under this roof you’d better help with the cooking, serving, cleaning and everything else in the household. That’s the best way to learn how to do it all yourself.
I was already rolling meatballs and frying schnitzels when I was in early high school.
Edit: I have been informed that I use Linux too much and that it is sous chef, not su-chef or sudo-chef. Although my mom is the root user.
*sous chef. Sous is French for under. So the person directly under the chef is the sous chef.

Are you sure she wasn’t the sudo chef?
