One cannot seem to get away from the television these days even when making a concerted effort to do so. I had the unfortunate experience of being subjected to the Today Show while waiting at the allergist yesterday. It was like watching a car wreck and I couldn’t tear my eyes away. For the 3 minutes I was sitting there I saw the following:
In case you were not able to make it through the video in it’s entirety, this is the disclaimer at the end:
These rules are meant as a guideline, each individual Mommy might have her own set of rules. Pregnant Moms will need additional attention and support or may need additional back rubs, late night snack runs and foot massages. Please check with you local Mommy for her own set of rules . . .
Obviously, you all don’t need me to go through this and tell you what is wrong with it. It’s just a testament to how pervasive all of this is in our society. Of course, when the video finished, all of the women gushed at this video. However, I ask you, what else is Mommy supposed to do with her time (rhetorical)? If you do all of this, in the manner of this man, any attraction that your wife does have for you will be killed in short order. That is not to say that a husband, who chooses to, should not help around the house. Only, it should be framed as his choice. Not based on some sort of “Rules”. Athol had a very good post yesterday that went into this dynamic in good detail.
*As with everything, it has to be catered to your own situation.
I loved the link love. I found the video unbearable to watch though lol. Oh dear lord.
I made it 40 seconds into the video. I really tried to watch it all. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

At least his wife is hot, he got that part right.
He may want to check the paternity of his 2nd and 3rd children.
That’s 29 seconds I will never get back.
Sounded like a retread of “Another One Bites The Dust,” which may be a predictor of how the marriage will go for anyone who follows these rules. And this guy’s rapping makes Vanilla Ice sound good.
The mildly amusing line dissing 50SOG was immediately sabotaged by the next line about the minivan. No amount of bling, stylin’ hubcaps, or the baddest stereo system on earth can make a minivan non-embarrassing.*
*The sole exception is if you and your crew are hanging out of it popping caps at a rival gang on the interstate while being chased by police at 140 MPH. Then you get a little street cred, and your girlfriend(s) will visit you often in prison.
So according to the video I have to do that just so she won’t be angry.
I’d rather her do the work around the house and be angry. As my old boss once told me…”You have to make a woman’s blood boil once in a while.”
I couldn’t make it through the whole video. There were 15 seconds left. Facepalmed about 30 times. (What is this world coming to?!?)
Welcome, Athol. What a pleasure!
Nightskyradio,
I almost choked when he showed his biceps and claimed, “You’re still a man”.
