She Refused To Teach Her Boyfriend Chores

A 20-year-old woman is questioning whether she’s wrong for refusing to teach her boyfriend how to do household chores. Her boyfriend, who’s 23, asked to learn how to do things like cook and clean because his mother did everything for him. However, after two weeks of helping him learn, the woman found herself still doing most of the chores.

She confronted him and told him to do his own laundry, cook every other day, and do the dishes on the days he doesn’t cook. He got upset and said relationships are about helping each other. She’s not sure if she’s being too harsh or if he’s being too reliant on her.

‍ ‍ She refused to teach her boyfriend chores

A woman has refused to continue teaching her boyfriend how to do household chores after he continuously failed to learn. The boyfriend, who grew up with his mom doing all the chores, moved in with his girlfriend and asked her to help him learn. After weeks of trying to teach him how to cook, clean, and do laundry, she became tired of doing most things by herself.

She decided to give him an ultimatum, and now he has to do his own laundry and cook every other day. She feels like he’s not putting in enough effort, while he thinks she’s not being supportive enough.

What do you think about the situation ? Is she being too harsh on him, or is he not trying hard enough to learn? Share your thoughts and experiences with teaching others how to do household chores.
