Well this thread escalated out of control pretty quickly https://t.co/gzeG4CFwn3

Normal-ish frustrated person: "I'm doing the home-chore equivalent of striking so people appreciate what I do around here" Some fucko in the replies: "Haha yeah speaking of striking I beat my kids when they don't do what I tell them" Every goddamn time.

I can at least empathize with the OP. When people take you for granted, that chafes, and it's not like it'll hurt them to have to do dishes themselves. The reply is... Literally just an abusive parent throwing a tantrum and bragging about it.

And everyone tried to dunk on
@nberlat over those threads in which he said the parents often behave as dictators. -
Still think the reason he got so much stick for that is because people had to reflect on their own behaviour and that of their parents for a moment and they recoiled.

yea like, OP is maybe being a biiit petty, but its an understandable feeling and an understandable if probably not ideal response. meanwhile reply weirdo is just like, i solved my problem through abuse, and amazingly my threatened child now falls in line

i absolutely don't blame OP for effectively going on strike. I extremely doubt it was her first attempt to address the problem, you know? But yeah, that reply isn't a work stoppage, it's child abuse.

It's not the strike that makes me uncomfortable so much as broadcasting it to the Internet Maybe other people feel differently about it but to me complaining to 10k followers about someone is a nuclear option that comes just before/at the same time as ending the relationship

Yeah the OP isn't great, on its own terms. As a messy person if you want something cleaned, and you want me to do it, ask. I'll do it. There's got to be a dozen healthier ways to distribute a chore than passive aggressively not doing it and hoping someone notices your protest.
