    “Get out of the dog house card” isn’t going to work the way either of them think. Pulling that card when you’re in the doghouse is not going to make her fine with whatever upset her. There’s a good chance she’ll say she’s “fine” because she doesn’t want to renege on her chart, but whatever conflict isn’t going to resolve itself because he gave her that card.

    Trading sex for chores is gross. I don’t want a BJ or lap-dance from a partner that is only doing it because the sticker chart says she has to.

    It’s also insane that things like washing dishes or packing lunches or changing diapers aren’t part of the baseline expectations for a dad. You don’t get an award for doing the bare minimum!

    Both of these people are demonstrating the emotional intelligence of a block of cheese.

        I was in a relationship with a controlling partner who made something very similar to this back in ~2016. I can’t remember exactly what was on it, but there was definitely a sexual favor reward for some amount of chores (it was like I had to give her X hour-long full body massages or smth) 💀

      This is the one that gets me the most. Like, I do the majority of a lot of these things in addition to taking my kid to daycare, doing almost all of the cooking, etc. I do it because I want to help my family, not because I’m saving up for a toothy blowjob.

      I think you are right if every assumption about this couple we make is the worst one to make.

      This might be a cornball gamification of a loving couple’s sex life. She might be a sexual assault survivor who requires a few days to get in the sexy mood and reminders that she is taken of by her partner helps her. They could just be glomping for the camera. This could even not be theirs or something they made for rage bait.

      Your engagement of public intrusion and moralizing into these people’s lives might ironically be hurting these people more than the chart has.

      I’d totally get her to suck my dick 10 times per day and never nag again. This seems like a good deal.

      I can pee and throw up 10 times per day, no issues.

          Very young kids puke sometimes. It happens. We also don’t know how long it took him to get all those stickers. Could’ve been over the course of a few months or longer.

            It’s 3x as often as he does the dishes at any rate; he must not be a big drinker.

            EDIT: It’s 2x as often as he puts the toilet seat down as well…must not have to go pee pee very often.

            EDIT2: For people with the “toilet seat down” problem, just get a toilet seat that slow closes on its own…they’re like 20 bucks and then you can just tap the top of the top part of the seat and it does the rest of the work.

        I assume it’s fake, but there’s not much to talk about in that case, so I look for the people who think it’s real and then engage with them since their opinions are based how they feel about this very fucked up situation if it were real.

      Sure, the spouse that has to create a reward system so that the other person does their chores is the one in the wrong, not the spouse that apparently needs parenting. Also, marriage is a favor to the former, not something both want and benefit from (/sarcasm).

        You say she “has to create” this and that he “apparently needs parenting”. Did you have some additional context that informs that opinion?

      I would say the creepiest part is that this man needs a childish chart like this just to take care of his children. She’s not his mom and honestly they should talk separation instead of having to come up with incentive charts just to get him to be a father.

      The man literally needs the motivational tool of a 5 year old to learn to put down the toilet seat or otherwise contribute around the house.

      I bet you dollars to donuts he considers “nagging” to be asking him anything that he’d have to leave the couch for.

            You assume he “needs” a sticker chart when just as easily the wife could be trying to get him to do all of it instead of his share. That’s your bias showing.

            Plus this inhumane and soul destroying regardless.

                  1. We’ve established that the task of maintaining on a household typically falls on women in our society.
                  2. We have an example here of a sticker chart being used to encourage a man to take care of his child.
                  3. You’re saying I’m biased for thinking that the man needs this chart.

                  Nah, bruh, I’m just looking at the data and drawing conclusions.

                  Sure, there are exceptions, but when we lack any other indicators of exceptions, it’s safe to assume societal roles carry over. Making any other assumption is ironically letting YOUR personal biases show.

                  If I tell you 7/10 balls in a box are red, 3/10 are blue, and ask you to guess the color of a ball I’m grabbing from the box, what’re you going to guess? Red.

                  I’m pretty sure this sticker chart is fake anyways, but it’s the reaction of folks to this that’s surprising.

          Relationships are a two way street, and dynamics like this are pretty common. It’s sometimes called over/under functioning or codependency in substance abuse. It could be the over functioner just tore the other person down, or the under functioner was susceptible already or drew it out of the over functioner. I agree it’s really difficult to know based on limited data, and all we can say is this is strange and comes across as infantilizing but if it works for them then whatever tbh. Not my relationship to care about

          Does the word “nagging” really suggest she’s bad when there’s needs to be a transactional economy where he only contributes to the care of his child after trading in his good boy points for a tendies a blowjob?

      I don’t know, from my limited view into the kink community if this was a sub/dom setup he wouldn’t need the incentive, the subs I know of in the lifestyle not just the bedroom are legitimately dedicated to their dom counterpart and would do their damndest to keep on top of their duties, not have to be coerced into doing them by a tacky chart

            But no 2 people on earth sharing a life together are living their sexual roles 24/7.

            Things like this are probably used to build up anticipation for their next session.

            If real, I also doubt this is classic Dom/sub play but rather a schoolboy variant.

    It’s fake, Its a crooked depiction of a toxic relationship which is fucked up, I know, but why would a guy need to be reminded to clean up, or care for their children?

    Step 1: drink water

    Step 2: piss

    Step 3: put seat down

    Step 4: repeat 5 more times

    Step 5: wait till I’m nagged

    Step 6: remind her of the toilet seat

    Step 7: continue ignoring child’s needs

    Step 8: ignore feelings of depression and ruminate about how fucked my life is
