"Make sure you mow the lawn, pick up the tables from our friend's house, and set the tables up for me. I've got it from there."
"A dump-stah! A dump-stah! To clean out the basement. The unfinished basement that nobody is going to be in. Not a single person is going to be in my basement."
"And you know what the best part about this is? He says to me, 'Make sure you go through the house and collect stuff to throw in this dump-stah before they pick it up today,'"
"It's amazing they complain that they just want us to tell them what to do. And then they do this when we tell them *exactly* what to do."
A New Jersey mother asked her husband to mow the lawn, pick up tables from a friend's house, and set up tables for their daughter's fourth birthday party. The husband instead arranged for a dumpster to be delivered to clean out the unfinished basement.

The dumpster task conflicted with party preparations and left the mother responsible for both trash removal and event setup. Online commenters related with other examples of well-meaning but unhelpful parental contributions.
