Here it's in tablespoons as God intended. Who the fuck measures butter in grams? Grams are for measuring drugs and gold.

For dry goods. Butter is of consistent density. And if you're cutting to the line, you're doing it by volume and just plain doing it inaccurately anyway.

Kayla's Past Breakdown & the Rekieta Household Today​

This post is related to Kayla's breakdown on Nick's show back in November 2019 and how that translates to the current state of the household. Essentially, back in 2019 Kayla had concerns about what Nick was doing and how it would impact their beliefs, social lives, and so on. Kayla's "romantic" relationship with Nick also hints at why they both suffer from reduced ability to perform regular tasks over time due to prolonged stress (and the meaning behind Nick's "I Will Be Us" tattoo).

Spoiler: Video Summary

During the November 2019 stream, Kayla was asked "what is the most romantic thing Nick has done" for her and she responds by describing what it was like for her when Nick's "YouTube thing" started and how they didn't see eye to eye on content. Kayla goes into her imperfections that she believes would make her hypocritical in her concerns for Nick and then into the struggle to reconcile "our beliefs" with what Nick was doing.

Kayla also mentions concerns about what their community (especially parents) would think. After Nick got kicked off of Twitter (sometime in April 2019), there was a change that made Nick the best partner that she ever had. Kayla then tearfully launches into being a failure as a woman, wife, mother, and so on.

Kayla describes Nick as being capable of doing basic household chores when she can't, and then uses a time their daughter threw up as an example. Their daughter threw up in bed sometime after 10pm. Kayla and Nick were still awake doing something/can't remember and Nick sprang into action to clean it up (laundry, running a bath) while Kayla continued to do the "something". This is what makes Nick Kayla's partner. Kayla also claims that she knows so many husbands who don't change diapers and are therefore not partners.

Kayla Was Right (she was just done caring):

Kayla's concerns about the long-term were well founded. Whatever Christian beliefs Kayla had at the time seem to have come to nothing in her marriage with Nick. Kayla saw this coming a mile away and knew he wasn't really onboard with the whole "Christian" thing before this point. In fact, Kayla believes herself to be in the wrong for holding Nick to any standard other than his own. Again, she knew where this was going.

Spoiler: Kayla knows Nick isn't "different"

In terms of clashing with their community, Nick ensured that would happen and exceeded Kayla's expectations in late 2022 by isolating them from even people "close to [them]" let alone anyone else.

Spoiler: Concerned people close to Nick can "fuck off"

In linking together what would happen (compromising their "faith" and becoming socially isolated) and why (the direction/content of Nick's show), Kayla was pretty accurate in assessing where they were headed. Essentially, Kayla traded those things she was concerned about for whatever it is they have now.

Of course this hasn't mattered to Kayla since 2019 because, as Kayla said, Nick is capable of basic household chores.

Romance, Stress, and De-Skilling:

On the face of it it seems harmless. Just a wife who is thankful that she has a real "partner" who helps out when she's overwhelmed by simple chores and her own failures. Depending on frequency this can lead to validation that simple chores (laundry, driving, etc.) are more difficult than they actually are and that these tasks actually require more effort (or people) to do them than is reasonably necessary. It can also lead to validation that one is a failure and is therefore entitled to an exception for certain responsibilities.

Essentially, all Kayla has to do is break down and Nick will try and take care of the rest while she recuperates/medicates/whatever. In this way they are able to stroke each other's egos, with Kayla gushing over Nick's husbandlyness and then Nick telling Kayla how great she is to make Kayla feel better. This ties into why Kayla might lean into being a bad wife/mother/daughter/sister. Nick gets to feel like a man among men for doing basic chores and Kayla gets to avoid parental/wifely responsibility and rest. Everyone wins and they are convinced that they are a great couple. In this way, Kayla and Nick have cultivated household dysfunction under the guise of "love".

Again, this adds to the pretense that simple housework is more difficult than it really is. If someone is under enough intense "stress" then even the smallest chores (or unexpected challenges) can legitimately seem bigger than they really are. If Kayla isn't actively trying to overcome this then she is conditioning herself to become less and less functional over time. She may even find herself largely confined to her bedroom, on meds, and watching her stories until she falls asleep with her hand in the snack bag while someone else cleans the house and provides basic care for the kids (cooking, driving, putting kids to bed, etc.)

Perish the thought:

Spoiler: After 12, kids still up, Kayla's half in the (snack) bag

This also applies somewhat to Nick's ever decreasing work ethic in terms of his own stress. Stress can be an easy out when it comes to shirking responsibility, but overuse can cripple one's ability to function long-term until all that's left are excuses, excuses, excuses...

Now Nick's thread is at the point where Nick's questionable houseguest can make claims that he's the only one feeding the kids and it sounds plausible:

Spoiler: Steeltoe SpaghettiOs

In general the household doesn't sound like it is being cared for appropriately.

Nick tries to put the "I" in "Partner"

While a lot of this can fall under the umbrella of general laziness, this is actually more insidious in that Nick and Kayla think they are doing right by each other, hence Nick's meaningful "I Will Be Us" tattoo that sums up his relationship to his wife. They are Kayla's most romantic thoughts about Nick summed up with an image:



Of course there isn't room for Kayla if Nick plans to be both of them. If Nick is the only acting partner, then what does that make Kayla?

Logic dictates that (whatever they are) they are not actual partners, and the more they embrace the [Nick] Will Be [Them] mentality, the more hollow Kayla's claims of partnership become. To put it another way, there is no "I" in "partner".

It is also worth noting that without this imbalance, it is likely that Kayla wouldn't have a reason rationalization for giving Nick a pass for his faults and any concerns pre-2019 could come rushing back. In that case, Nick's best hope would be that Kayla's insecurities outweigh his own faults to keep her dependent.

Conclusion:

The household as it stands is the natural outworking of Nick and Kayla's decision to base their marriage on overlooking Nick's faults because he enables Kayla's insecurities by doing basic household tasks like a "good" partner/husband, then romanticizing those tasks in a way that ultimately renders Kayla less capable (feeding her insecurities). This appears to be wearing on Nick while he succumbs to his own stress in a similar fashion.

Their more hedonistic solutions don't actually address their underlying problems either, so it is likely a matter of time before these problems catch up to them.

TL/DR: It is very possible that Nick (even with the best intentions) has de-skilled Kayla by being such a "good" husband, thereby reinforcing the idea that simple tasks are more difficult than they appear and validating her need for rest and meds and allowing Nick to romanticize this with his "I Will Be Us" tattoo. Nick has also fully realized Kayla's concerns pre-2019 about where they were headed.

Spoiler: Tangent: Kids and Chores

By the way, at their age, the kids should be able to help around the house (cleaning and basic meals) so Nick shouldn't be that put upon either.

In most healthy homes, children are given chores to do. This not only eases the burden on the parents, but also helps the children develop the skills to look after themselves as they get older and eventually run their own household. At their age, their kids are collectively more of a resource than a burden unless they just exist to consume resources and be driven to events. If the kids aren't being given responsibilities within the household at a reasonable age then they risk being developmentally crippled as well.

Rest of the world, not that it matters if the thing is marked by grams or X amounts of tablespoons, you're still putting more or less the same shit if you say 150 grams or 10 tablespoons, it's just easier to use the same system for everything when you are already used to grams in your daily life instead of measuring everything in different forms of scrotums and rocks like you heathens do, worst case just whip out google and ask it to do an equivalency, I know I do when a recipe calls for 7.5 cougar tongueflaps of flour.

Tracks with the plastic surgery recuperative drug binge and falling into addiction of being pampered theory that was mentioned in last dozen page.

Also his eldest qualifies for a driving license and the 2nd isnt that much younger. Pretty sure they can cook up something simple. When I was like 12yo I was 'addicted' to instant noodles and would just grab them myself and cook it the way I like it outside of family meals. If the younger ones have to beg imholte for the pasta, one has to wonder if the older boys are too terminally online to care for their sisters (nick likes to brag about his boy's minecraft/roblox escapades right?)

@Not Who You Think

I read your entire post and I don’t want to cheapen the work you put into it, but…after seeing the video in your post where Rekieta is talking about his kids being up at 12:15 while Our Wife is zonked out in front of the TV, I am just now barely realizing that the Balldo Man’s children are “iPad Kids”.

After seeing the 764+foodist+Elaine+Clayeaters+”Generation Z and “Ironic Degeneracy” threads…I’m absolutely horrified and at a loss for word as to what’s possibly in store for them. If you know you know. Especially with the parents being how they are.

 

[Dumpster dived waifu]

What is so funny about the Spaghetti-Os thing is that even if you take what Aaron said at 100% face value without reading any larger lessons about the Rekieta household into it, it still doesn't make any sense. He goes, presumably with his wife, to Casa Rekieta to hang out with Nick and his wife and Nick's kids come up to him to ask for food because "everyone" except him is "everyone's bu-- they're off doing something or they're busy or whatever".

What are we supposed to think about how this story went down? Sorry kids, I have to be the one to microwave your meal for you because your mom and your dad and my wife are all off doing something??? I'm sorry what??? Excuse me?

Given that Nick has talked before about how much he and his wife will interview people to look after their kids, it's funny that a swinger is an acceptable substitute.

When I was a kid I was really addicted to just reading everything I saw. So I'd just grab any book I saw and start reading it. I eventually grabbed the 1969 Betty Crocker cookbook and suddenly realized, wait, you can just grab these ingredients, mix them together, and then make things you want to eat?

I was really impressed with myself. (Lmao like you aren't now faggot.)

And from then on I just did that. Cookies, pound cakes, tuna melts, whatever. I just made them. And made them to show off. I was very happy to say "I MADE THIS!" while serving them.

That said it wasn't because my parents were drugged-out retards starving me because they were too drugged-out to feed me.

Given that Nick has talked before about how much he and his wife will interview people to look after their kids, it's funny that a swinger is an acceptable substitute.

He's such a dipshit he will literally have some obvious wife-abusing piece of shit microwave food for his starving children because he's too busy being a gay faggot even to feed his own kids.

 

[AltisticRight]

Is it trashy if you just put your butter in a ziploc bag? Is there a good reason not to do this? I don't understand the need for a special container although the @AltisticRight solution is an autistic kind of genius

I wouldn't say it's trashy but it's a waste of plastic when you can at least use any container. The zipper part of the bag will get very greasy too, so you'd want to keep the block in the paper wrapper.
I suggest cling wrap. I would wrap my cheeses (plural) in paper used in CTM and then cling wrap, far better than a ziploc bag where condensation will ruin the flavour.

Nothing to see here, they're just playing video games together. Or something.

My cats are notorious butter eaters.

Is your butter salted? Cats really love salty stuff, that's why they lick your hands too. Mine does lick pans and pots too if I leave them unwashed on the stovetop.

They obviously are, if you've seen nick talk about buying them tvs and xboxes just for the convenience of having them on multiple floors. Wouldn't be surprised if they each have their own 'cave'

Romance, Stress, and De-Skilling:

Wow, this section really put things in perspective for me. I don't have kids, but my husband picks up slack at home when I'm struggling mentally. I have legitimate reasons for my poor mental health and I don't use drugs so I'm different from her but in regards to that section of your post I can see myself in her shoes. The being overwhelmed from an initial stressor, not being able to do basic tasks because of it, and then the feeling like an useless partner (and in her case mom) which triggers a whole new cycle of guilt and wondering what your purpose even is. Doing or not doing the tasks suddenly ties into your perceived self worth which makes simple things seem insurmountable. Thankfully I have time to recover to a more normal and productive state before children. She has no time to wait to get herself right in the head, she has kids that rely on her. They deserve a sober, mentally well mother.

Nick thinks he's helping by doing the chores and tasks around the house to help her. Long term that helps the kids, not her. This is calling the sky blue but she needs serious therapy.

Uhhh yeah, I'd rather just cut the damn thing or in my case, pluck out the precut blocks for baking rather than use a damn spoon a dozen or so times, with shit stuck onto it and having to wash the bastard afterwards. If I leave it out there, my cat will wash it for me. I guess feline slavery is good now. I thought burgers are supposed to be fucking lazy.
I don't even have to use a scale, each block is 20g. 200g for a batch of brownies? Count to 10, or 100 if you're Jack Scalfani.

It's the rule of Balldo. Each time Balldo whines about some dumb shit, our thread becomes the same whining, just 10 times more autistic. Balldo was bitching about his butter dish, we're now here bitching about measurement units and butter storage.
It's funny, AND WEIRD.

Do you think Null has a 'tism fit over american butter or is that reserved for cheese?

It was cheese.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to guard him. I was saying that because the post I was referencing was saying he does those things. I'd never whiteknight for nick, the "jokes" he makes about children are so disgusting that I wouldn't piss on the guy if he were on fire.

Once you get a kitchen scale and start measuring by mass, things are SO much easier. I notice this with bread most.

Thread tax: Does anyone remember when Nick bragged about cooking and did cooking streams? It seemed that he did a lot of dinner preparation for his family, and now his children are reduced to begging for a stranger to make them a canned mockery of Italian cuisine. How the mighty have fallen!

Any. Salted or not. I have two young cats that are very good at getting into everything. The boy licks my arms and the girl cat licks my face before bed every night. She is very thorough.

The boy cat used to bite every three licks but he's stopped dong that.

I don't like measuring. I like to eyeball it.

Yes. I might have seen a cooking stream by him too. I saw him build his gaming PC on Twitch and him and his wife assembling an arcade cabinet.
