For example, when I’m at work I don’t feel like it, or if I do I can hold it back without any problem, but when I get home the urge seems to be uncontrollable and impossible to hold back.

    Everyone everywhere stores their actual dishes in their built-in kitchen cabinets and have for longer than I’ve been alive.

    Since the dawn of the 20th century, the dining room cupboard went through the following stages of evolution:

    • That’s where we keep the dishes, and when we serve dinner we put the food there on the cabinet’s countertop so you can get your plate and serve yourself right there nice and convenient.
    • That’s the case where we keep mom’s good china, we use those for special occasions like Thanksgiving and Christmas and when the pastor comes over for dinner, the normal dishes we got from Sears are in the kitchen.
    • Those dishes were ordered from a catalog in the 1950’s for your grandmother and are therefore more sacred than the lining of God’s ballsack. Even thinking of eating off of them is a heresy.

      Yup - maybe if the pastor came over you could break that China out of its jail but otherwise it’s too sacred to actually “use”, for such shitty people as (checks notes) your children.

      But heaven forbid the children don’t use or want it - think of all the “memories” of the times that it could have been (but never was) used!?

      It’s not like anyone else’s feelings matter in the slightest. The American Dream feasts upon us all, long live The American Dream™.

      I never really understood that. Then COVID happened and now I see it perfectly. They are sacrificing their children to that great beast, which they themselves barely attained, and now they want to keep the dream alive… at any cost (even their own families). After all, if the pastor + TV + radio says so, then it must be a good thing.
