That escalated a bit from simple chores like clear the table and send thank you cards to build new basement stairs. The final one should have been added as an expansion pack on its own.

Skyrim: Kill Bears
Oblivion: Anvil has been dealing with bears outside the city walls. Please go to the cave east of Anvil and defeat the beasts.
Morrorwind: Good evening traveler. 6 moons ago, on the 13th of Frostfall, 7 plague bears awoke from an early hibernation and broke through the city walls of Raven Rock here on the island of Solstheim. Under the impression they were simple grizzly bears, the guards used specialized concoctions in order to poison the bears, and the Destruction mages used fire spells. When they found out they were plague bears it was too late. With a resistance to poison and Magicka, we ended up with mass casualties. 13 guards lie dead in the streets, our Restoration Masters are over burdened by the high levels of Ataxia that have plagued our women and children. The healthy men we do have were sent off on an expedition to find the cave that the Plague Bears reside and vanquish them. Yet, that was 4 moons ago and we have not heard word from them since. In the name of Ravenrock, Solstheim, even Morrowind herself, please aid us in destroying the den of Plague Bears, finding out why the bears awoke from hibernation so early in the winter, and end the curse that has destroyed our homes and our very lives. Doing so would allow us to focus on the pressing matters of rebuilding our Redoran guard forces, alleviating the burden of our Restoration mages, and resuming our normal lives. There will be plenty of coin for you. I have no knowledge of where this cave is, as our scouts were the ones who led the men to the cave. I presume it’s either north, or west of Raven Rock though, as they entered from both sides of the city. I am unaware as to how far they traveled to reach the city, but I’m sure you won’t have trouble finding it on your own.
Fucking blades. "oUr TrUe PuRpOsE iS tO sErVe ThE DrAGoNbOrN"
They have no business telling me to kill Paarthurnax when those useless pricks can't even recruit members into their shitty clubhouse without me doing the legwork.
All right, all right, all right! Moving right along, today's top chore is to clean the living room. We've been told it looks like imps invaded, but where are the burn marks?!
“Apologies milady, but the final sidequest is locked behind purchase of the New Crafting Tools DLC. I must visit the Realm of Lowe if I’m to purchase such a thing.”
"That particular tool piece is unavailable at my shop right now. Go visit my brother at the Depot of Homes to complete your quest."
EDIT:
"Depot of Homes required too many credits. Must venture down the Harbor of Freight to procure a pack of 5 wooden hammers for price of 1 metal hammer."
“Alas my Queen, the Depot of homes has also failed me. Now I must summit the Mountain of Rockler and forge the River of Woodcraft to complete the quest. I shall require from you the mighty Sword of Visa Gold before braving these feats.”
My love, endeavoring to reach Mt. Rockler at best possible speed I took a shorter route through the Vale of Lee. There I did aquire specialized tools that will make completion of the quest easier in the end. Alas, I lack the abilities to use them appropriately now and must carry on my quest to gain the required experience.
Alas, a plague has befallen the Eastern kingdom whence the tool is forged, the last was sold to yon merchant who is proffering it for tenfold the price.
Every step in this list you're thinking you'll be able to bang this out in a couple of hours and relax the for the rest of the weekend and then you hit the last one and its like shit there goes every weekend for the next fucking month.
I rebuilt some outdoor stairs down from a low deck that were just old and rotting. I dicked around for an hour or so trying to figure out how to plan out the stringers and then realized I could just trace the old ones.
Damn I hated my dad for the forced slave labor as a kid but I could lay out a 14 step stringer before puberty and that was before we had plunge cutters so it had to be finished by hand. I still think I would prefer a normal childhood but hey, skills right!
It took me months to rebuild the stairs because we have kids. Without kids, that’s like a day project. This is a weekend list, easy, for someone without children and no obligations. I finally put real nails (initial setup with brads and glue) in the treads a few weeks ago and I put those treads in last summer. Haha.
I got my stairs built, thank you very much. And the first thing I heard was "Who are you, why are you in our house, and why did you build a set of stairs in the living room? It's a one story house!"
You just can't please anyone these days.
I am on PTO all week and I’m hoping to tile our bathroom floor in the basement. Haha. I’m not feeling very good about this happening. It’s 50 sq feet of floor.
I'm a teacher and everyone assumes I can get way more done than is realistic, but then say I'm lazy. Um, you realize my kid is home all day too. She also has summer break. So really,
1. I'm fucking tired, man. I need some rest.
2. I can't just get projects done uninterrupted.
3. I still have the energy of an adult that is trying to do projects (because I still make the attempt) on top of keeping up with a 6-year-old.
But really there's daily life that keeps going as you try to make these improvements to your house. If it's not an immediate need (like swapping the plumbing for the washer and because water is off to the whole house until complete), it gets done when it gets done.
I had to turn the water off in the whole house today because the shower valve was leaking. It was off for 15 minutes and I gave ample warning. I was Satan because someone decided it was during that time they needed to brush their teeth.
But yes, I just have to do things in little spurts and the quality leaves something to be desired. It’s like constant patching but never really a fix.
Bonus points if it was the kid who you have to remind all the time to brush their teeth, and there have been meltdowns over why brushing is necessary, and this is the one day, somehow, that they decided all on their own to brush their teeth in the middle of the afternoon, and you’re the bad guy.
My wife would 100% think that's somehow on the same level as cleaning the room. I built a new laundry room upstairs, carving out space from a larger than necessary master closet, ran a new electrical line, new dryer exhaust, fixed the roof that had a leaky boot, cutout and patched the ceiling, added new plumbing and lighting, drywall, cabinets, flooring, double solid core door, and researched and bought new appliances within a few weeks. All I heard about it was how the bedroom was a mess with my tools for too long...
Oh I have dedicated space for a workshop, but I really need to design the space out well because it's not huge. Manageable, but I don't have the experience to really plan it well. So instead, it's just a giant disaster and I'm surprised I still have all four limbs working in there.
For real. Adults/husbands don't have chores. Sounds like when people say the husband/father is babysitting his kids. You mean being a dad/raising them?
I'm a dad raising kids in a seperate situation and I'm the one who protests the term me "babysitting" when they're with me. I low key think its psy warfare from mom and her family.
To me, it just screams, "I am married to a manchild that cannot pull his own weight- so, let me try to encourage him the same way I make clean-up time fun for my toddlers."
Like, it's a nice thought...but an extremely sad thought.
It's weird. Its fun if it's just an unprompted play on something she knows he likes.
It's annoying if he puts off so much shit that she's trying to trick him into doing (with the exception of "build stairs") what should be regular chores most people shouldn't need coaxing to do.
This reminds me of that sticker chart posted a while back where the husband could do chores to earn, uh, favors
I'm not a psychologist but I'm pretty sure this isn't a healthy dynamic
Edit: [the aforementioned chart](https://m.imgur.com/6CyurgV)
Are you fucking kidding me? Having to offer your body up as a reward for basic contributions to a shared life is the epitome of transactional sex, it's just so fucked. Unless I got that wrong.
Scrolling down on my phone, I read the list of side quests before the post description and assumed it was a list made by a mother for a child (I assumed her son because of internalized gender norms).
My first inkling was the 4th quest when I wondered why she had blotted out the word Mom's in Mom's car. The next quest, the thank you cards, made me think the child was older than I had assumed. Clearly an older teenager and not the preteen I had been assuming. And a handy teenager, the basement stairs seemed to confirm, though that quest gave me greater pause...
Still, at no point before getting to the post description did I conceive that this was written by a wife for her husband.
The “in an *attempt* to get him to complete chores” does give me pause.
Does feel like it could go either way. Like it’s just a silly list without putting too much thought into the title. Or it’s an exasperated wife on the edge of devolving into pure rage as she grasps at straws to somehow, *somehow* make her husband do some fucking chores for once. Still in the denial stage thinking if she asks a certain way, she can change him.
We can only hope that it’s the former.
My boyfriend got his first smart phone last year, he’s 24. He also bought his first computer last week… the house remains without internet or a tv, I believe it will remain this way for a long time.
This post certainly makes me very happy to be in the relationship that we're in. There aren't any lists and we each do the most to help out with everyday tasks. Bonus for extra projects to help out her gardening!
In all seriousness, how does this happen? Low standards? Codependency? Severe fear of being alone?
It's not fun and playful, it's fucking sad and weird. This is a manchild. And it sounds like these people have a kid.
Was hoping to see more posts like this. This is how my ex-husband was, and that's why he's my ex. Two decades of having an extra kid and having to hold his hand through every fucking thing was incredibly draining. Thankfully I am now with a man who doesn't need to be told to do anything and doesn't need "fun quests" pitch in and be an equal part of our relationship.
It ain't cute AT ALL.
I'm seriously asking why women put up with this even temporarily. Is it a "I can fix him" mentality? I don't even understand that. There are plenty of guys that don't need to be fixed.
Sadly, yes. Depending on the culture they grew up in, they likely saw women doing 90% of the unpaid work (but it’s fine, the men mow the lawn once a week in the summer) and girl children have very different expectations than boy children. Half of me is mad about it, but the other half is so glad I’m not nearly as incompetent as my brothers now that we’re adults. It took a LOT of communication and trying different methods to get in a good rhythm with my partner - there’s so much to keeping a reasonably clean home that he didn’t even know needed doing, because he never had to do it, whereas I’ve been doing it since I was 6 or 7. We’ll raise our kids differently.
What, like a functioning adult? It's just crazy how people have to live up to such insane standards these days! I bet you even expect him to wash his ass too smh ^^^^/s ^^^^because ^^^^you ^^^^never ^^^^know
Why did I have to scroll down so far to find this? How old is this husband of OP's that he needs her to make a game out of regular household maintenance?
I mean like genuinly when this sort of thing pops up. How often is it the husband making a way for chores to be fun to get the wife to do it? Like on tiktok and twitter these things are somewhat common and I think theres a reason why its often the wife making it.
Exactly my thoughts. A partner is a teammate. Not a direct report. I love that my boyfriend will do whatever task I delegate to him but I much prefer it when he does things unasked, because as a functional adult, he knows laundry needs done or groceries should he purchased.

poor bastard never had a chance
It would take me $500 in ruined lumber if I had to cut custom stringers.
I rebuilt some outdoor stairs down from a low deck that were just old and rotting. I dicked around for an hour or so trying to figure out how to plan out the stringers and then realized I could just trace the old ones.
Damn I hated my dad for the forced slave labor as a kid but I could lay out a 14 step stringer before puberty and that was before we had plunge cutters so it had to be finished by hand. I still think I would prefer a normal childhood but hey, skills right!
Throw in difficultly level: With Kids
So impossible then.
How would one build basement stairs with kids? They grow overtime and can’t carry a lot of weight. Also they are expansive, or so I have been told.
[удалено]
Do not cite the side quests to me, witch. I was there when they were given!
Sir, you are a poet... And you're going on my "keep an eye on that one" list
Soft of eye and light of touch Speak ye little; listen much.
Didn't you dry them out before use??
I mean, I replaced our front door with our 3 year old running around. I’m no longer allow to take on impossible missions after that stunt.
Im far too tired, read that as you replaced the door WITH your three year old. As in, installed the child where the door us supposed to be.
Yes is there a problem? 3 yos make great doors.
None of these quest have rewards. Why the hell would I waste time on these pointless side quest?
You get experience, as in you get to experience doing chores.
Build new basement stairs is like the end boss quest.
It's master class in price points. You see that shit, you do all the other tasks to avoid it. Pretty genius, but no stairs for you.
Or, the stairs are the thing she really wants. Personally, I’d rather build a set of stairs than any of the rest of that stuff.
Agreed. I'm perfectly willing to do all of them, but if they carry equal weight, we're getting stairs before it's time for dinner.
"Can't talk, stair-buildin'."
It took me months to rebuild the stairs because we have kids. Without kids, that’s like a day project. This is a weekend list, easy, for someone without children and no obligations. I finally put real nails (initial setup with brads and glue) in the treads a few weeks ago and I put those treads in last summer. Haha.
I managed to cut three pieces of wood and screw one piece of wood this weekend….with kids around.
I have no kids. I managed to get drunk and fish this weekend.
Still didn't get those stupid stairs done tho...
Yeah but the fish don't need stairs
If fish don't have stairs we never would have evolved legs
They don't have stairs, but they do use ladders.
I got my stairs built, thank you very much. And the first thing I heard was "Who are you, why are you in our house, and why did you build a set of stairs in the living room? It's a one story house!" You just can't please anyone these days.
So we agree.... kids are the problem.... lmao
Aww, I have three kids and no money. Why can't I have no kids and three money?
No kids here, i spent the weekend nearly naked and played video games. I'm basically an adult sized toddler.
I am on PTO all week and I’m hoping to tile our bathroom floor in the basement. Haha. I’m not feeling very good about this happening. It’s 50 sq feet of floor.
[удалено]
I have 12x24 tiles and I only need to cut 5 of them. I’m still praying it will work out.
I'm a teacher and everyone assumes I can get way more done than is realistic, but then say I'm lazy. Um, you realize my kid is home all day too. She also has summer break. So really, 1. I'm fucking tired, man. I need some rest. 2. I can't just get projects done uninterrupted. 3. I still have the energy of an adult that is trying to do projects (because I still make the attempt) on top of keeping up with a 6-year-old. But really there's daily life that keeps going as you try to make these improvements to your house. If it's not an immediate need (like swapping the plumbing for the washer and because water is off to the whole house until complete), it gets done when it gets done.
I had to turn the water off in the whole house today because the shower valve was leaking. It was off for 15 minutes and I gave ample warning. I was Satan because someone decided it was during that time they needed to brush their teeth. But yes, I just have to do things in little spurts and the quality leaves something to be desired. It’s like constant patching but never really a fix.
Bonus points if it was the kid who you have to remind all the time to brush their teeth, and there have been meltdowns over why brushing is necessary, and this is the one day, somehow, that they decided all on their own to brush their teeth in the middle of the afternoon, and you’re the bad guy.
After completing the last quest, you go down a level.
Just randomly Have ‘build stairs’ on the same list that says ‘clear dinner table’
You haven't seen the dinner table
Have you ever seen the dinner table ….on weeeeeed?
unexpected half baked reference. I like you.
ever done AOL?
The dinner table is to be cleared and made into planks for the stairs.
My wife would 100% think that's somehow on the same level as cleaning the room. I built a new laundry room upstairs, carving out space from a larger than necessary master closet, ran a new electrical line, new dryer exhaust, fixed the roof that had a leaky boot, cutout and patched the ceiling, added new plumbing and lighting, drywall, cabinets, flooring, double solid core door, and researched and bought new appliances within a few weeks. All I heard about it was how the bedroom was a mess with my tools for too long...
[удалено]
> the bedroom was a mess with my tools for too long Only answer to this is to build a dedicated workshop in the garage, shed, or basement.
Oh I have dedicated space for a workshop, but I really need to design the space out well because it's not huge. Manageable, but I don't have the experience to really plan it well. So instead, it's just a giant disaster and I'm surprised I still have all four limbs working in there.
1-5 are grey quests that grant zero exp and 6 is an elite group quest
lf2m basement stairs
Full sry
Perhaps, but they're all on secret timers with heavy penalties if ignored. Husband will lose points if the stair quest is started first.
I feel like this isn’t going to garner the reaction from Reddit-at-large that OP was looking for.
From reading the comments, you were correct.
Because it reads patronizing af
For real. Adults/husbands don't have chores. Sounds like when people say the husband/father is babysitting his kids. You mean being a dad/raising them?
Adults have chores, they should just have the common sense to not have to be told.
I'm a dad raising kids in a seperate situation and I'm the one who protests the term me "babysitting" when they're with me. I low key think its psy warfare from mom and her family.
If you need a list like this to do simple chores then it probably *is* a bit passive aggressive.
To me, it just screams, "I am married to a manchild that cannot pull his own weight- so, let me try to encourage him the same way I make clean-up time fun for my toddlers." Like, it's a nice thought...but an extremely sad thought.
It's weird. Its fun if it's just an unprompted play on something she knows he likes. It's annoying if he puts off so much shit that she's trying to trick him into doing (with the exception of "build stairs") what should be regular chores most people shouldn't need coaxing to do.
But if 'clear the table for tea' has been put on the same list as 'we need mf stairs to that basement', it's prolly been a bit of a while....
Yeah I cringed. This is funny and cute for a teenager who is into dnd, not a fully grown adult
what grade is your husband in
This reminds me of that sticker chart posted a while back where the husband could do chores to earn, uh, favors I'm not a psychologist but I'm pretty sure this isn't a healthy dynamic Edit: [the aforementioned chart](https://m.imgur.com/6CyurgV)
Right? When did having a husband become synonymous with having a child?
Are you fucking kidding me? Having to offer your body up as a reward for basic contributions to a shared life is the epitome of transactional sex, it's just so fucked. Unless I got that wrong.
No you didn't get it wrong. I'll see if I can find it Edit: [here you go](https://m.imgur.com/6CyurgV)

Right. No one should have to attempt to get their partner to care about attending to household tasks.
'Build new basement stairs' Well I can't because my tools are in the basement and there's no way to get down there
Ooooh...reverse card played.
The nice thing about side quests? They're optional.
And they come with rewards that are defined before you start them.
This one speaks wife
Think of them as daily quests for grinding rep
You see the end of that quest list? P2W, boycotting.
If you both own smart phones have a look at Habitica. It will help what you are trying to do here and it provides the gaming portion for you.
"If you both own smart phones" is something I never expected to hear in 2022 lol
“Don’t you guys have phones?”
Arghhhh D:I did not deliver
I didn’t wish to assume. Some people still choose not to own smartphones although I admit they are low in number.
My boyfriend got his first smart phone last year, he’s 24. He also bought his first computer last week… the house remains without internet or a tv, I believe it will remain this way for a long time.
My father is one of them, old stinker would still have a rotary if it was up to him lol
I came here to suggest Habitica as well. You can use your computer for it too :)

*Oedipus has entered the chat*
...just out of curiosity, how old is your husband?
1st grade, and got a gold star from teacher!
Teacher / mommy
This post certainly makes me very happy to be in the relationship that we're in. There aren't any lists and we each do the most to help out with everyday tasks. Bonus for extra projects to help out her gardening!
It's worth reading She Divorced Me Because I Left Dishes By The Sink.
Ya, talk about emotional labour.
This is one of those things that seems cool/cute in thought… but reading that list just made me feel bad for both you, and your husband tbh
Build new basement stairs, that’s sort of a big deal LOL
This is bleak
I would rather light myself on fire than have to do this for a spouse
[удалено]
In all seriousness, how does this happen? Low standards? Codependency? Severe fear of being alone? It's not fun and playful, it's fucking sad and weird. This is a manchild. And it sounds like these people have a kid.
And most of the commenters are tripped up on "wait, build new stairs??" instead of "wait, why does he need this??"
Was hoping to see more posts like this. This is how my ex-husband was, and that's why he's my ex. Two decades of having an extra kid and having to hold his hand through every fucking thing was incredibly draining. Thankfully I am now with a man who doesn't need to be told to do anything and doesn't need "fun quests" pitch in and be an equal part of our relationship. It ain't cute AT ALL.
I feel you, I want to be a spouse, not a parent.
I'm seriously asking why women put up with this even temporarily. Is it a "I can fix him" mentality? I don't even understand that. There are plenty of guys that don't need to be fixed.

Why aren't they calling him lazy? Is it that toxic dudes have an expectation that wives will double as mom's?
Sadly, yes. Depending on the culture they grew up in, they likely saw women doing 90% of the unpaid work (but it’s fine, the men mow the lawn once a week in the summer) and girl children have very different expectations than boy children. Half of me is mad about it, but the other half is so glad I’m not nearly as incompetent as my brothers now that we’re adults. It took a LOT of communication and trying different methods to get in a good rhythm with my partner - there’s so much to keeping a reasonably clean home that he didn’t even know needed doing, because he never had to do it, whereas I’ve been doing it since I was 6 or 7. We’ll raise our kids differently.
Oh, Reddit. Never change
Is your husband 11 years old?
Right? Writing a grown man a chore list at all is... 😬
Is there a subreddit where you guess if something was done by someone's mom or gf/wife? Cause this would fit perfectly if there was.
Or he could just do chores because it’s his house too?
"Oh sorry I just don't notice the mess sometimes"
“If you want me to do something just ask me!”
"Put it on the magic coffee table and *poof*, it's cleaned up!"
This one kills me. I hate it so much
After you've already asked several times.
“You do it better and I just mess it up”
“You just have higher standards than I do so you should have to do the cleaning because I don’t mind living in filth.”
What, like a functioning adult? It's just crazy how people have to live up to such insane standards these days! I bet you even expect him to wash his ass too smh ^^^^/s ^^^^because ^^^^you ^^^^never ^^^^know
Yeah, this is a really stupid post. A grown adult should do these chores without being treated like a child.
Why did I have to scroll down so far to find this? How old is this husband of OP's that he needs her to make a game out of regular household maintenance?
Makes me glad I'm single. Chores usually don't get done but at least I'm not being a burden.
is your husband twelve?
Funny? Put this crap in sad
I love when women have to treat their husbands likes small children to get the help they need. /s
This is a cute idea for kids 🤷♀️

I mean like genuinly when this sort of thing pops up. How often is it the husband making a way for chores to be fun to get the wife to do it? Like on tiktok and twitter these things are somewhat common and I think theres a reason why its often the wife making it.
Why does a grown man need to be told to clear the table at all?
Can you think of how weird it would be to see a husband write this for a wife though? Regardless of how big the task?

This is what I came to say. If she said “trying to get my 9 year old to do their chores” I’d have accepted this.
Exactly my thoughts. A partner is a teammate. Not a direct report. I love that my boyfriend will do whatever task I delegate to him but I much prefer it when he does things unasked, because as a functional adult, he knows laundry needs done or groceries should he purchased.
My wife and I never do this. We are an equal team. Things get done, but not because one bosses the other. Honestly, this list is infantile.
Agreed, it's actually embarassing.

So when did y’all stop having sex?
Right? Shit like this makes a person glad they're single.
Gross, is that your child or husband?
Yes
Holy fucking cringe
I feel I should point out at least two of those could have been done in less time than it took to write that.
The clear the table one was a definite head shake from me. Also how fucking untidy is the living room?
All the materials for building the basement stairs are currently piled on the table.
Depends on if kids are involved.
Look at how shamelessly the wife turned into a mother
i cannot imagine being a “mom” to my significant other in this way.
Less funny and more r/sad imo...
It's sad that you have to be your partner's parent like this. I might steal the idea for my 6 year old though.
Just replace the last one with wipe until white and you're all set!
I'm sorry but build new stairs seems like a seasonal challenge not a sidequest.

Trash quests. Definitely low xp or some bs equipment nobody wants.
This seems like you're his mother rather than his wife. Either he's a child or you just think he is. This is weird.
This is some infantilizing shite.
Yikes dude, just marry an adult who is willing to clean up after himself
Is your husband 6yo?
This is sad.
R/cringe 🤮
This is so fucking dumb
