"Takashi Kaneko, 74, decided to sign up after his wife died of liver cancer four years ago. He was living mostly on microwaveable foods and found himself desperate for company. Not only had his wife taken care of all the cleaning and cooking, on top of working as an administrative assistant, but she also curated his social life. After she passed, Kaneko realized he did not have many friends of his own.
He has learned how to host his adult children the way his wife once did. “When my kids come to visit, it’s usually after they’re tired from work, and they want to relax. If their mother were alive, she would surely have cooked for them and made them feel at home, so I want to do the same,” Kaneko explained."
Elderly Japanese men leveling up 💯
Better late than never, I suppose!
Most men around the world should take these classes...

If he wanted to he would but he won’t until he has no choice.
My ex was a janitor, so he cleaned my place all the time, and would cook fot me occasionally. That's about it though. He was a scrote is every other sense of the word.
Okay I'm not going to lie, I am a hot mess. But even I know to google something if I don't get it, or like..... Read the back of the product.
Pathetic. Only when their second mommy died they want to become a productive member in their own household. Instead Of learning from the best they keep coddling their tradition that women must do everything around the house while they sit on their ass.
I also Wonder what this old scrote gives in return for the wife’s service. Men always claim that running the household is not hard but if they have to do it they whine that it consumes too much time. While rich ppl would pay a butler who acts like a housewife thousands of dollars a month while house wives do it for free and not even get a thank you in return.
I mean, good I guess 🤷♀️
its about time he got his shit together. Too bad he couldn’t be useful when his wife was alive.
But actually I wouldn’t mind if this became a thing here. Then we wouldn’t have to hear all the excuses!
He is only doing this now because it’s effecting him and not her.
Usually I think men are just pretending to not know how to do house work so that other people are forced to do it for them. Like, how can you not figure it out on your own? Or from watching your mom and wife do it your whole life? Wash the dishes. Sweep the floor. Scrub the toilet. Find a simple recipe and follow it. These things are not hard, confusing, or esoteric. But evidently, some men really are that dense. I hope some woman is making a fortune teaching these LVMs how to make a bed.
Better late then never man, hopefully his example serves well to other scrotes. They could really use it. If men need to learn bare minimum, and if they learn it through stories like this, then I hope they do. The world needs it, unfortunately.
As a person living in Japan for the past 7 years, I can say that most men here are incredibly LV.
To the point of actual despair. And I'm not even mentioning the insane amount of 40-year old virgins, otaku and incels.
They don’t know how to cook, clean and take care of themselves.
They fully rely on their wives to do everything for them, while they fuck around on the side and come home at 02:00 AM like it’s nothing.
Also, in case you want to praise elderly Japanese men — do not. Most of them see women as objects. Not to mention they are mostly incredibly racist.
Just a little example of what you can expect from them: https://amp.scmp.com/week-asia/people/article/3198482/japanese-man-81-arrested-allegedly-pushing-disabled-wife-sea
This man pushed his wheelchair-bond wife into the sea. Because he got “tired” of taking care of her.
And this guy hasn’t spoken with his wife for 20 years because she "upset" him.
OMG this reminds of how an old friend of my dad asked my dad to show him how to use the washing machine after his wife had died because he just couldn't figure it out. The man was in his late 60s. His wife had Parkinson's by the way and obviously STILL did his laundry until she died.
Another highlight from my work day: we were talking about Christmas gifts and an older (also early 60s) male coworker started bragging about the great gift he would give his wife: a really fancy, cordless vacuum cleaner for 1000€+, because she struggled to carry their old, corded one up the stairs in their home and the cordless one will be lighter. So... instead of helping his poor wife with a task she is physically struggling with because she is also getting older or actually hiring help to come in and vacuum for the poor woman... he gives her an overpriced new vacuum cleaner for Christmas. I hope she gives him divorce papers.
So he decided to learn basic life skills AFTER his poor wife died doing all of that while battling cancer!!! Yeah..too late for that. Also this old scrote is not leveling up, he's just doing what he was SUPPOSE to do waaay before, let's not praise men for doing the bare minimum, he doesn't deserve to be congratulated for something his wife (with cancer) was expected to do more of.
*slow clap*
Not sure why we should praise him... poor woman probably cooked and cleaned while battling cancer since he couldn't learn until after she died.
good on him for learning basic human life skills i guess? though i don't see anything worth celebrating given how his wife suffered with all the physical labor until death.
