The International Plowing Match is being held in our little town this year. It’s a HUGE event, with approximately 85K visitors expected to visit over the course of five days.

Yesterday was warmer, but overcast, and drizzly as we were closing the tent.

I have four more days of standing 10+ hours in the outdoors. The temps are a little cool for the next few days, so I’ll definitely be bringing a jacket.

The tent, after Mike came and helped me close up. How they thought I could do it on my own is beyond me.

Is that TikTok fact or real fact? Asking for a friend.
Both. TikTok actually has a lot of good information. It's the same as any other app or website... there's real info and false info that you have to decipher between. The algorithm that gives me videos gives me real info. I swipe past the dumb stuff, and I think it figures out I won't watch those videos.

Thank you for the perspective. I can see it differently now, and feel much better about it...


I did enjoy my vacation, and I shouldn't have painted my hubs in such a bad light. He does plenty, including most.of the house work.since he retired. And he was the primary carer.for both our moms back in 2021 (not.literally the carer, but he did visit them.every day)

That said, he could still absolutely make a salad unbidden.
Yes, making a salad does seem a reasonable ask. I'm glad your husband is willing to do housework. My husband SAYS he's willing, but the reality is that he never does. The agreement we made was that I would be a stay-at-home mom if possible. It turned out not to be possible because we just couldn't make ends meet on his salary alone....they tanked the economy here when they switched from gilders to Euros. Everything doubled in price, but salaries remained constant. So I ended up having to work, though only part time, but I think he still sees me as a stay-at-home mom. So he's thinking that I'm the one at home, so I'm responsible for the household chores...and that would make more sense IF I was actually a SAHM. But I think he kind of forgets that I'm working a job outside the home, too. For years, I worked in the evenings. So he would work all day and I was a SAHM during the day, and when he'd come home, we'd eat dinner, he'd take me to work and the kids went to bed when I went to work. NOW, we both work during the day and we're home in the evening, and the kids are pretty much grown, but he still sees me as the homemaker. It never occured to him that while I was at work in the evenings, he could do chores just like I did while I was at home and HE was at work. When he's not at work, he considers that his time off. He never thought about the fact that if I'm a SAHM, AND a working mom, I essentially have no time off at all. I'm ALWAYS working. It's not that he's a terrible husband or anything, just kind of oblivious.

Speak up.
Sometimes men are unintentionally oblivious.

If you don’t say anything, he might just think that’s how you like things. (There are many women who prefer to do everything - not me of course, but some women.)
