Manbabyism

Written on

I am the doctor that detects bullshit and I am here to diagnose you.

If you say you want round rotis (like your mom makes) rolled out with your wife’s post graduate degree

If you want a spick and span home even though the thought of putting a wet towel out to dry makes you lazy

If you want someone who puts up with your temper tantrums over misplaced keys

If you want to be served even as you retreat into the man cave every other day

If you think you are entitled to your wife’s attention and devotion 24/7

If you want your wife to be at your beck and call and fulfill every single need of yours

If you don’t give a shit about your wife’s needs

If you think your wife is your maid who you can get frisky with

If you think your wife isn’t entitled to her time and space and dreams and hopes and ambitions

You are a classic case of Manbabyism. If you do every single point above, I am sorry to say you are in the terminal stage of Manbabyism. The only treatment is if your wife and mom leave you and you get your head out of your rear orifice to finally see that the world doesn’t revolve around you.

Fortunately , there’s prevention against this disease. Don’t raise your sons to be entitled little shits. Simple. Don’t teach them they are entitled to love/sex/services from others just by virtue of being born male. This is tough considering how our society trains girls to become women much before they need to be and tells boys that they will always be boys. But we definitely don’t need more man babies, so if you have a son, please do everyone a favor and raise them into upright men instead of man babies who we all just want to smack upside the head.
