Today, my boyfriend was serving dinner, and decided to circle the table with my son's plate while making UFO noises. My son grabbed at the plate and spilled it, making a huge mess. They both decided that I should clean it up. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was quietly admiring my boyfriend from outside the kitchen as he made us dinner, only to witness him drop a load of spaghetti on the floor, swear, then scoop it all up and place it back on the plate. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. Within seconds of getting my drink, I spilled it all over the table and my scarf. When the waiter was helping clean up the spill, he knocked over my boyfriend's drink. All over my pants. FML
Today, my boyfriend set up a very romantic dinner. Afterwards, he offered to wash the dishes while I went upstairs and relaxed. His way of washing the dishes was to scrape all the food off, then wipe the juices off the dishes with a paper towel before putting them back in the cupboards. FML
Today, my boyfriend made a mess eating spaghetti. Yes, he is older than 5. FML
Today, my kids made a mess in the kitchen while trying to make breakfast in bed for me. The mess was bigger than the breakfast. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend to stop criticizing my son for his table manners. He said, "It's man things, you wouldn't understand." He acted surprised when I blew my top and told him to leave. FML
Today, I explained to my man child of a boyfriend that we don't reuse dirty dishes. We have to wash them. He doesn't think it's gross and yelled at me, throwing the pan in the sink. Oh, he also refuses to wash dishes. FML
Today, my boyfriend yelled at me from the other room for washing the dishes "too loudly". FML
Today, I woke up early and made my boyfriend french toast. When he woke up, he yelled at me because it was his dish day and I was creating more dishes for him to do. He made me do the dishes. FML
Today, my idiot son tried to load the dishwasher while the dishes inside were clean. FML

Wait. How did you lose? Children don't have the vote! Filibuster your idiot boyfriend until he cleans up the mess.

Time to shut down that toxic masculinity before the BF irreparably infects your son with it. Talk with him or dump him if he won't reconsider his stupidity. Teach your son that what they both did was wrong, and that everyone's responsible for their own messes.

i'm assuming that your son is real young based off the fact that your bf is making ufo noises? i'd make the bf clean that up. your son was hungry and kept his plate from him. if your son is a little older, the noises would seem pretty condescending either way. bf should clean it up if not both for making the mess in the first place

Tell your son it's rude to expect mommy to clean up when she didn't make the mess, then shove your boyfriend's face in it, make him eat it up, and once it's clean kick his misogynistic ass out.
