I got 10, count them, 10 messages in my inbox about the thread my FI (already using your lingo) started about me being lazy. And it wasn't like they were joking. One said, "I just feel like you should know what you are marrying." Wow! I know some women can be petty and catty, but really?
So in response to the why am I so effing lazy thread, here is my answer.
Miss Tattoo is right. My mom did not assign chores to us and she was cleaning my room and making my bed well through high school. Now, I'm not here to blame my mother for my behavior, but she did kind of beat it into our heads that women did the cleaning, cooking, washing, ect and men made the money and did the hard labor jobs.
I'm trying. I really am, but it's tough after almost 21 years of never having to do anything but mow the lawn (Miss Tattoo can't mow the lawn in her heels!) and take out the garbage.
I know she's frustrated with me and the lack of cleaning, BUT in my defense she is kind of anal about things. She has said it too. I'm going to get better on picking up my things and she is going to get better with not letting things build up.
I don't think I need anyone running to me basically telling on her and trying to stir stuff up.
So that was interesting to see all the "OMG! Look what she's writing about you!" messages. 10 of them. Wow.
Sorry that you got caught up in the dramarama that's been going on around here lately! It's not usually like this, I swear!
You aren't the only guy who doesn't do chores, my husband doesn't do anything inside the house unless I really remind him But I just ask him to help with this or that and he will.
you have GOT to be kidding me. completely inappropriate!! i swear, we aren't all catty...
O_o
Please consider that sort of thing non-representative of the hive, generally!
@Mr. Tattoo: WTF?! That's awful, and I'm truly embarrassed on behalf of the Bee that anyone had the gall to try to stir up ish like that! I don't know what else to say, except that I think 99% of us would never do that, and I guess the 1% who thought it appropriate to message you should crawl back into the woodwork!
wow, awful! what a shame, shame, shame.
yay for you for trying, though! i have full faith that miss tattoo can whip you into a mini housewife in no time! you'll be doing dishes, folding her laundy, and cooking her brownies! yay for you! :)
Also, there are a whole bunch of us who really enjoy Miss Tattoo's contributions to the Bee, and if she is "what you are marrying," then you are a lucky guy! ;)
I know 99% of you are awesome, but I was just laughing so hard at work here with my buddy about how fast some of the users on here pointed out that thread. She was venting. All of us do it. Doesn't make it wrong. Her feelings are not invalid and it's not a deal breaker that she has feelings.
I hope this thread doesn't cause more drama. Who has those pictures of the drama llama I spotted on another thread?
Holy crap, I can't believe someone (let alone 10 people) would send you stuff like that! I know that some Bees have beef with Miss Tattoo but she's just telling it like it is. To think they would message you to "let you know who you're marrying" is ridiculous!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I WISH I had the balls to say what your soon to be Mrs says. I almost always agree with her!
...and I didn't comment on your intro post since I was slaving away working for the man but welcome to the hive!!
And what rock were you living under when your mom allegedly beat this into your head? Because Leave it to Beaver, The Brady Bunch and any other show that portrayed women as only capapble of doing housework are not on tv anymore. Unless your house only gets the reruns station.
I ask this because, had you lived a life in the real world and saw what your friends dads did, you'd know that a man can do a woman's work just as a woman can do a man's work.
You want Miss Tattoo to mow the lawn while you're doing "girl" chores? Then buy her a pair of sneakers and teach her how to do it. I learned how and I wear stilettos on a regular basis but can wear a pair of sneakers when necessary.
These archaic images that men still carry just tick me off! You want a woman to work and maintain a house? How about pitching in, dude.
Welcome to WB Mr Tattoo! Like the others, I hope you'll understand that 99% of us around here aren't so much into the drama ;) You and Miss Tattoo are a great addition to the hive! We don't get men's input around here often, so it's going to be fantastic for us to hear your POV!
I love the Drama Llama. It makes me laugh every.single.time.
The rock I lived under was called Novinger MO. Population 450. No cable TV. No long distance on the phones. No paved roads. All of my friends dads? Worked. All of my friends moms? Baked cookies after school. It's a really little fucked (wait...can I say fuck? I did it again) up town. Again, I don't blame my mother for how she brought us up. Miss Tattoo has her reasons why she won't mow the lawn, and I don't mind it. I don't think I said I minded it. Am I missing something? O_O
Wow - sounds like you grew up in Mayberry! You were sheltered!!! Holy crap.
This city gal would've killed herself a long time ago if she had to live that way! lol!
@jayce: totally agree :) love ya miss tattoo. Even though sometimes we like to fight haha
@Mr. Tattoo: LOL Look at you holding your own! I'm so proud :)
And yes, before anyone jumps on me, I know the Mr and soon to be Mrs outside of WB world! lol
oh wow. Sorry hon! I have enemies around these parts!!!
I can't do a thing but laugh. Ridiculous!! I am glad you called BS on that Mr Tattoo...and publicly at that. Dude is on WB ONE day and folks are already trying to throw salt in the game...sheesh!
Sorry you had to deal with that. The only two people that truly know your relationship are you and Miss Tattoo. I know that in a sense putting info about yourself on the web opens your self up to criticism, but it also gives you a chance to vent and gain perspective on the situation. Just because Miss Tattoo made some posts venting about laziness or whatever doesn't give other people the right to essentially hunt you down and tell you you're a lazy bad person (or to tell you about the person you're going to be marrying...as if you don't already know). If Miss Tattoo posts it's because she wants some support/advice/sympathy...I'm pretty sure she doesn't want us all to "tattle" on her or accuse her SO of being lazy...I know I wouldn't want that at least. Some people can be such drama llamas.
@bells: ROFL! I had a mouthful of water and almost choked! Name and shame huh?
Wow, that's extremely catty. And a little ridiculous... Did they really think you're so clueless that: a.) you don't already know Miss Tattoo and understand the situation described in her vent, and b.) you can't just go look at the threads she's started? Geez. Sorry you had to deal with that. I think Miss Tattoo is hilarious and I'm sure you know you're a lucky man to be with her.
@mg1363: I think what Mr. Tattoo meant was that the women messaging him were actually being critical of Miss Tattoo, not of his housekeeping skills. He quoted one as saying: "I just feel like you should know what you are marrying."
I think that's way worse, because those women clearly didn't have innocent intentions of helping Miss Tattoo by telling Mr. Tattoo to lend a hand (not that it would have been their business to say anything to him anyway), they were actually trying to warn him away from marrying her. Which is ridiculous and so hilarious, because who the hell does stuff like that?! It's so Days of Our Lives!
@bells: Haha, I was also thinking it!
Way to back her up Mr Tattoo!! And as one kid raised under a rock ... wow ....in a MAJOR CITY ... to another ... welcome to the hive !
@Mr. Tattoo: I hope you shared those "Bee"otches with the Mrs because I would LOVE to see that craziness ensue!
Miss. Tatoo is awesome. I'm sure you're awesome by default too, Mr. Tattoo, by virtue of being deemed marriage worthy by your beloved. I find some posters here really seek to personify a variety of negative female sterotypes: overly emotional, indecisive, inability to accept criticism, super sensitive, ect. Hope you don't think we're all like that.
Despite what I've said above, however, I DO have to say this: CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR DAMN SELF!! You're not a child, MissTatto is not your mommy. Free ride is over, dude. Gravy train has stopped. Unless you're willing to bring home all the bacon while MissTatoo lives a life of leisure, I suggest you man up and start pulling your weight. Can't blame mommy forever.
Thats....just...awkward....and really weird! At least now you two have something else to laugh about lol
I want to know who tattled on Ms. Tattoo... but I suppose that would just be stirring up more drama...
Really unnecessary!
@Aubergold: Triflin Hoes.
Love it :D
I also wanna know who snitched. If you don't wanna post it, just PM me! I'm proud to personify the negative female sterotype of "gossip monger"!
@Aubergold: Lmao!
Some people are disgustingly ridiculous. They're brave enough to message you, but not brave enough to post who they are on this board...any takers?
Glad to know we haven't scared you off yet, Mr. Tattoo
