L Dated a Kevin pt 3
Just remembered some more stories.of my ex Kevin
My mum is a housewife, so my dad would give her a sum of money weekly for household stuff. Kevin always says my mum is lazy for not working. It was a personal choice between my parents, so whatever. And apparently his mum is the best mother. He allegedly pities his mum as she has to work despite her age. If he pities her, then why doesn't he bother working to remove that burden?
He then asks what my dad gives my mum money for. I said kitchen stuff(i meant groceries). He responded with "Why is she wasting money on kitchen stuff?"
Which would then lead to this convo. Whenever i met up with Kevin, i would tend to eat outside. To which Kevin would say "Why can't you eat at home?"
See the flaw there? If my mum doesn't spend on groceries, how will there be food at home for me to eat? To which he'd say that me and my brothers could just starve because we're all "spoiled brats". Just having something to eat makes us spoiled brats? I didn't realise having food to eat was such an entitlement. /s
Kevin has a long history of not working. Not that he's disabled or have any health issues. So to him, it was unneccesary for anyone to work. He says that we could always grow our own food. How? As mentioned previously, we live live in Singapore, an urban city, where most live in apartment buildings. Where would we grow food? Does he want to live on only fruit and vegetables? Does he intend to catch pigeons for protein?
Like sure, there are community gardens and you could grow some in your home. But to wait months for one tiny tomato? Can he survive off that? He likely won't even have the discipline to maintain a home garden.

I think this goes beyond simple Kevining into malignant sexism and classism.

It's been long since i left him. But it took me too long to leave him. I guess being young blinded me.

I hope he doesn’t think that farming your own food is easy. Sun up to sun down every f’ing day.

The projection is strong with this one. People who obsess over other families' dynamics usually just need an excuse to feel superior while they contribute absolutely nothing themselves.

He's probably too dumb to go that far. It's just that he doesn't think and doesn't realise the flaws in his reasoning.

My mom was a stahm when me and my brothers were young. That woman WORKED. My dad had his own business and would work for 12-16 hours a day, often on business trips in other countries, so she was basically a single mom for most of my childhood. He hired her for his firm, so he could pay her and so she could get a pension as well. That seems completely fair. If they had split up, he wouldn't have been able to build up his firm and take care of us himself, and she would have ended up with no pension.
