The problem is that this example is applying spoon theory to an almost completely different situation due to a misunderstanding of the theory as a result of continued dilution of its meaning to adapt the theory to non-chronic illness situations. In this way, it portrays spoon theory as a way to generally describe overburdening onesself with responsibilities who is otherwise functional, when spoon theory was originally meant to describe the significant effort in fundamental functioning. The original meaning, the meaning that applies to chronically ill people, is arguably entirely lost.

Disabled people's problems are not the same as healthy people's problems. Spoon theory was a way to describe exactly how it's not the same.
