Englishman struggling to adapt to Swedish home life

Even if the thread is fake - there are morons out there expressing these views for real. Hence it is relevant to treat the thread as if it was real.

Just the fact that you use the word "babysit" regarding your own child makes med wonder if you've got all the horses in the stable so to speak.
That is something that we joke about here, at least me and my friends. That when a mother is at home it's maternity leave, but when the father is home (for a longer period of time or just for an evening) other people refer to it as "babysitting". Shared responsability? Shared interest? A common idea of how you want your family life to work?? Have you had any discussions like that?

Ts har redan erkänt att det är en trolltråd

It seems to me that You regard your responsibility as a father as goodwill. You do have to take care of the kids just as much as Your wife does when You are not working and change the diapers without complaining, do dishes, mow the lawn, give her chocolate and not even think about being unfaithful to her. Sure I lend magazines at libraries but If my husband did not buy me flowers now and then I would get a bit sad. Many men think like You and think live is just computers, games, porn, paying bills after work and joining for dinner and expect sex sometimes while a woman do the shopping, childcare, cleaning, dishes, cooking and on the top of it all is supposed to be a charming lady with a willing sexy body. I suggest You send her to the gym after You get home from work five times a week, talk to her personal trainer or other adecvat nuitrition expert IN THE GYM about her foodhabits get her a stylist and hairdresser and skin and nailexpert and be prepared to pay huge sums for getting her into a sexy shape including  spending much money on food, basically go for the more expensive fresh unprepaired foods. Don´t forget to visit the jeweller at times like weddingdaymemorials, christmas birthdays etc. But get Yourself a habit of playing golf on  Saturdays, that way You meet great friends.

If this thread is even true: I feel so sad for You, and even more so for your wife and child. Sad for you that you actually think that all it takes to be a good husband and father is a big dick, money and some fotball? Unbelievably sad for you that you yourself did not have a father who bothered to be a rolemodel for his son... Sad for your wife that the two of you did not discuss theese importand issues before having children, and that she now is stuck with you (no, YOU are the lucky one that she hasnt left yet!), just a little boy who cant be bothered to grow up and assume responsibility....sad for your wee boy who wont have a proper man to look up to :(

I noticed you mentioned that your wife works with you also, and that the child is actually in daycare; so this thread is bullshitting all together, cause this is not about YOU working all day whilst she is at home "doing nothing", its about you wanting to live in a hotel AND get sex as a reward! So you think its fare that she also works and when she comes home she should be mummy to both your son >AND YOU?! And this while you sit on the couch, not because you work harder or "bring home the bacon" (does she not get payed at work???), but BECAUSE YOU ARE A MAN? I dont know if I should laugh or cry...

GROW THE F---- UP

Yeap, u are for sure in the wrong place if u expect any swedish women to be happy that u are "babysitting" your own child and changing a nappy once in a blue moon. U need to move back to 1923, where u belong.

Actually, you absolute twat, you weren't that funny when you were trolling and you actually sound even more stupid after confessing.

Get this: you don't own women. You don't get to tell them when to smile, or how much. You don't get to tell anyone to chit chat. Women are not there for your entertainment and we smile when we fucking please - and you clearly aren't that pleasing, otherwise you'd see more smiles.

Not to mention your kettle-pot thing, there. I lived in Scotland for three years and have now been in England for five years. In Scotland people will strike up a conversation with you and make new friends after school age. The English don't. They are a lot more rude, though.

The idea/stereotype of the English is "polite, stiff upper lipped and obsessed with queueing" - that's what the English tell themselves.

If you actually have to live with the fuckers (and that goes for all age groups and social groups), you'll find that they are bloody rude, moan like it pays money and cut in lines every opportunity they get. Never got that with the Scottish. Never got that with the Welsh. Just the English and, to some degree, the Irish.

And then there's the incompetence. My colleague from Nigeria described it very well when he once said (mind you, he left Nigeria because he was sick of the corruption):

You know, PeeGee - in Nigeria, we sometimes have to bribe people to just do their job. You cannot do that in England. Because the English, they do not know HOW to do their jobs.

The most common phrase I hear in this country is "Sorry about that." which is what some poor call center employee has to tell you when their company/department/council has fucked, royally, up - yet again. Can they fix it? No. They can tell you they are sorry about it but actually fixing anything, fucked up by themselves, is above EVERYONE'S pay grade.

You were a boring troll, which is why I didn't bother. But you are even more creepy and unappealing post-reveal.

I'm wondering if you have tail? Or very big ears. That might be the reason why your wife doesn't like you anymore.

this was a hillarious thread i gotta say^^

im married to a WELSH man and he tbh didnt know what impunity meant xD  (im the better one at grammar then him aswell so judging someone does not always work that way :p)
i know a guy born and raised in essex, when he writes no one would understand what he accually say.

like many times swedish arent even able to put together a whole sentence without making atleast 6 faults.

only becuse its your own language doesnt mean you got perfect grammar.

i wonder why people complain so much really.. not good enough flow on your writing? or is it the way they been tought that fails to flow?

well welcome to sweden and i hope you enjoy your stay^^ i know my husband loves the snow :) me on otherhand prefer the sunny wales :p
 

Det här kommer nog att bli en sådan där evighetstråd där upprörda svenskar skriver arga/upprörda inlägg där många fördomar kommer att ventileras.

*bokmärker den*

hallo

l hope that Everything worked out for you two. my Point is this you have to know that you are a part of a family now, that is your wife and not your servant that takes care of household and so on. i understand that when you have worked the whole day it is tireding but Think about her too, you have to sit down with your wife and talk through on what you both need to do to come back to the Days you used to love each other. i have been married now for 10 years and have Three wonderful boys together, it is a full time jobb to stay in love the other half is not your maid but your better half.  come on times are changeing . good luck
