Is It A Crime For A Man To Help His Wife In Kitchen? by OCTAVO: 3:14pm On Oct 21, 2012
In our society today, people tend to see some set of romantic men as effeminate cos they help their wives in kitchen and also do some house chores.
I don‘t know why most men don‘t want to be seen near their wives in kitchen.
Most men prefer to watch TV, movies, read newspaper while their wives will do everything in the house.
As we all know, women are multi-tasked. They pursue their career, take care of kids, cook, clean the whole house & compound and lots more.
At least can men be romantic enough to help their wives in the kitchen (once in a while)?

I prefer to be a lazy cnut who sits in the living room drinking beer and watching football while the lady does ALL the work in the kitchen. Call me a chauvinistic bastard if you may.

No..it is not a crime and you won't go to jail for cutting potatoes. You might go to jail for setting mofos on fire over some potatoes but certainly not cutting some potatoes.

abi ooo

But it's good to talk about these things. Sometimes we like to sweep things under the rug, as if they're not issues, when they are. There're many sexist men out there who're too proud to lift a pot, who think cooking is solely a woman's job. Mcheew. angry angry

Nothing wrong in helping with the kitchen and I agree with you that Nigerian men (I am one) have a long way to go. Part of this goes back to our tradition which seems to portray that leaders should be served. It happens at all levels, politicians have 200 PAs, even people hired just to carry their bags and newspapers. Religious leaders are not left out, people caring bibles/qoran of for pastor/imam. So the 9ja man who is now the head and leader in his own family unit expects to be served as well. Infact, lots of guys don't do anything, rather they expect their wives to serve them. And they claim it is scriptural as they are the head of the family.

But let us examine what the bible says about leadership. Christ says anyone that wants to be the greatest of the apostles should be the servant to all. He demonstrated by washing the apostles feet. Leadership is not about being served, it is about serving others including in the family. Well, most 9ja men will say they provide for their families financially so that is enough, but it is not. As a leader, you should show empathy and compassion. I cannot see my own wife struggling with house chores and kids while I cross my leg and watch football. Kitchen or not, we should learn to help our wives with housework. I visited my sister's house and I was shocked to discover her husband does absolutely nothing at home. He doesnt even know what goes on in his own home and my sister works slightly longer hours than he does. She gets back from work and still has to struggle through the rest of the day. The best her husband does is just give the househelp a few instructions and thats it.

Whats the big deal if the husband helps the wife out in the kichen,serzly i see nothing bad in it,just dat some guys are so rigid n prove so difficult and believe once they marry,dey ve utmost control over their wives like dey dictate n evrything. Its so pathetic that the average nigerian man thinks it is a taboo if he helps his wife in the kitchen they just sit down like bag of cement n expect the wife to cook,do tthe dishes,clean the house and take care of the babies,and later at night,they would want to do again.God help my husband if he tries this with me,ehn,infact m angry. lipsrsealed

Most of our men are lazy, forgetting that women are not slaves. that's why women get old faster than men small time, they would take another wife saying the first is now old.

It is absolutely not a crime but like someone said the woman must not abuse the privilege which i really doubt,in no long time she will not only begin to nag but abuse the man when he fails to assist her in the kitchen.So, for the man it`s like don`t start what you cannot finish.
Re: Is It A Crime For A Man To Help His Wife In Kitchen? by Nobody: 7:17pm On Oct 23, 2012
There is nothing wrong in it to ask help. One can try to change them but politely. After all in marriage couples need to walk together hand in hand and also it depends on you and your DH, what you want him to do and whether he is willing to do and what will be the consequences...
