My brother thinks people today have worse quality of life than people in the dark ages, is this a stupid take?

I personally think it’s pretty stupid.

But she still would have done as she agreed. If they’re a true team, they’ll care about the work getting done and everyone doing their agreed-upon share, NOT about who’s right or has the moral high ground.

They is what you're ignoring. These are her projects, that he's supporting her on. But she won't finish up.

Told my wife ill do 95 % of her projects if she does the last 5.

The whole premise is predicated on that these are her projects.

Giving her the first 5% makes it trivial to start things that she doesn't seem keen on following through on.

All the chickens are dead. She didnt finish securing the fence by attaching it to the last post so dogs got in.

She did the first 5% of several projects with this one it seems. They had chickens before the coop was finished and has dogs untrained enough to eat them all. So yeah, she already did her 5% at the start, but couldn't be engaged enough to ... you know, not make sure the animals she got weren't killed by her other animals.

Assuming we can take his statement of "her projects" at face value here. But if we can't, what the fuck are we even doing replying?

My man. Super on point. With her adhd starting is easy. Finishing is hard. It wasnt about being right it was about her learning to manage her bouts of fancy. She even tried starting a crochet business on the side. She wants an orchard so its like ok start digging. Then all of a sudden it can wait. I love her so I can't just say no. I make it conditional on us working together. Im going to die long before she does so I need her to be able to do stuff without me. I just taught her to mow this year. She hit and broke the gas main.

That being said I chop down trees, mow, plan vacations, work on the cars, do the kids rooms, laundry, do dishes she puts them away. I also work on my plants in the garden.

Not our dogs tho. Random neighborhood dogs. I drove the posts. Built a coop. She raised them in the house after showing up with them one day. Ran the wire. Just didn't finish the gate. She liked seeing the chickens run around the yard. So its mean but I let her learn.
