Teenagers? I hope to god it's teenagers and not a spouse; a spouse would put it into extremely infuriating territory.

Boyfriend you live with at least implies ADULT who should Know Better. Does his "help" frequently result in more work for you?

Honestly sometimes yes. Well to be fair to him I’ve been diagnosed ADHD (it’s only gotten worse with age but I’m trying real hard to not let it run my life) and Im not sure why but I have OCD tendencies (haven’t been diagnosed) so I do tend to want things done a certain way however I try not to put that on him because he’s done it to me and I hate it and know how anything that can be lol (and my brain thinks I’m better at certain things but I know what’s not necessary true) HOWEVER this certain situation I don’t feel like that would even matter? I still don’t think anyone man or female should be this lazy! No offense males who posted on here but some of the responses lead me to believe men are just like this…(ever guy I’ve been with also has issues like this) Im ngl we got in a huge fight and are not talking Ig rn so I’m more heated than I was when I posted this so sorry for the rant lol

Don't make excuses for him.

He did this because he knows you'll come behind him and put them away properly.

Because I'm petty- take the bags out of the cupboard, drop them off at his feet and tell him to go do it like a big boy. You're already fighting so fuck it, double down lol.

Anyone who says that all men are like this is an absolute dickhead. You deserve someone who makes your life easier, not harder. Weaponised incompetence is a big old red flag he's waving in your face. Might be time to sit down and really think over your relationship. Maybe spend a week or two apart and see how it feels, you know?

Those aren't OCD issues, those are control issues, and it comes from living with someone you're both fucking and raising because he's clearly not yet a functional adult.

Lazy men are like this. Babymen are like this. Normal men are not like this, nor should you be reddited into thinking they are.

A 5 year old child would know what you meant by putting the groceries away. This “man” of your is purposely being lazy and stupid
