Is this weaponized incompetence?
Since my bf and I had our 2nd baby I feel like he low key tries to get out of doing certain stuff. We have a toddler as well, he never did stuff like this when it was just us and our toddler. Idk if this even counts as weaponized incompetence because it’s something so small and so stupid but it’s so inconveniencing to me. Any time I ask him to make a bottle for the baby or give our toddler a drink in his sippy cup, he will screw the lid on them SO tight and when I go to open it to wash them or refill them I legitimately cannot get the lids off. It’s so aggravating when I’m trying to hurry and get bottles washed or hurry and rinse/refill our toddlers sippy cup because he’s crying for a drink or the baby is crying for a bottle I have to spend 10 mins literally just trying to get them open. Last night I was PISSED because our toddler’s favorite sippy cup had the lid stuck on it, I swear to god I spent 20 mins trying to open it while he was freaking out crying the whole time. I had to legit throw the sippy cup in the trash and go BUY another one over him screwing the lid on so tightly. I have told him every bit of 50 times to STOP putting the lids on so tight every time he has to make a bottle or give our toddler a drink. He’s stripping them from screwing the lids on so tight🙃 he always says he “can’t help it” and he “doesn’t mean to put the lids on so tight” but I’m convinced he’s doing it on purpose so I’ll stop asking him to make bottles and get drinks. This morning I made the baby a bottle and asked if he would feed her while I did the dishes, I handed him the bottle and as he turned around to walk away I saw him tighten the lid on the bottle as hard as he could. I said ummmm why did you just tighten the lid I make a point to not screw it on too tight because every time you do it I can’t get it open. He said “I didn’t even tighten it what are you talking about” and just walked off. Like I just feel like he’s literally doing this on purpose to bother me and if so that’s SO childish and ridiculous. We’re in our mid 20s and like I said he never did this until we had our 2nd baby.
