Weaponised incompetence - ever heard of it?

Tweet

The photo has nothing to do with the post. I read a very interesting article the other day on ‘weaponised incompetence’. This is when one person avoids or refuses to do a task by saying they’re not good at it. They use their so-called incompetence as an excuse. It can result in one person bearing the brunt of responsibilities in running a house, caring for children, preparing reports in an office, etc. Continually making excuses to avoid helping leads to resentment and frustration. We share most tasks but I found the whole article very interesting. I’ve known people, both men and women, who do virtually everything in the house as well as looking after the children, ferrying them here and there to various activities. If you want to read more about it, here is a link. It’s not the article I first read but one I found later. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/weaponized-incompetence
