So my wife has a variety of medical issues and she basically tries to do what she can and I basically do stuff in order of what is most immediately needed to get done that she can't get to. With obviously work (or currently looking for work) being priority given the whole paycheck and health insurance thing. She prioritizes things I do not do well so her top thing is cooking if she can because if its up to me its likely going to be like a frozen pizza.

So is this the woman version of weaponized incompetence? Clearly she knows she's doing it wrong, could she somehow find a hammer but not a screwdriver?

Not so sure. My wife is great but my sister can't change a tire. It really comes down to how one was raised. there are folks that have never picked up a screwdriver.

Specifically the woman in the comic

you got me. The comic is a sorta diary and reading it from the start its very obvious that she knows how to do common household things.

I'm on Hooon's side. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

I think the ether will incapacitate her just fine, thanks.

Just tell her you’re going to do it, no need to keep reminding you every 6 months.
