In another post that has since been removed from the ministry’s social media pages, women were advised not to “nag” their partners who do household chores wrong.

“If you see your partner doing something wrong, avoid nagging – use ‘humorous’ words like saying: ‘This is how you hang clothes my dear’ (imitate Doraemon’s voice and follow up with giggles!),” suggested the ministry.

Doraemon is a popular Japanese cartoon character that speaks in a high-pitched, nasally voice.

Other posters also told women not to use a sarcastic tone with husbands when asking them to help around the house, and to count to 20 when feeling hurt to be “more rational and calm”.

    Men should also be advised not to respond with "if you think you can do it better, do it yourself."

 

   Learned that one the hard way.

In response to "Where is dinner?" or "Why is this ____ such a mess?", Mrs. T-B. responds, "The maid has left.  Do it yourself."

Mrs. T-B. often puts on eyelash makeup (whatever it's called) before going brisk-walking in the neighborhood.

Be glad she’s not Filipina, no makeup, but 5 phone calls to friends, 5 prepatory selfies, a snack then 4 outfit selection just to garden

I just showed this thread to Alex, who had sent me a similar article from CNN, saying, "You should post this on VJ." I said: beat ya!

 

And when he read your comment, he said, huh. That is absolutely correct.

And what? Only men get to be cranky and naggy and let themselves be a little wild and unkempt at the moment?

Should this not be in the Beauty Thread?

It's not just about appearance, it's also about attitude.

I felt terrible the other  day (headache) and Alex made ME dinner! I didn't even have to ask. It was a frozen pizza but he baked it properly and it was edible. Very proud and I would like to mark this moment in history.
