janejive: My neighbour, a Lady, a Lawyer in her mid 30's, she uses a Toyota Camry, a comfirmed big chick who works for her money, was dating dis guy, one saturday I did my laundry in my bathroom, coming out to dry my clothes, and all d clothe line in our compound was covered with boxers and singlets, enough to fill a boutique, and male cloths too, we hand no Man of that size in our compound, the only guy in dt compound is actually very slim. I used hangar on my clothes that saturday. Later she came out, entered her car when to d market bought food stuffs, d next thing d compound ws filled with a nice senting aroma, few hours she'll package the food in deep bowls for deep freezer, package some in cooler, send our gateman to go get full crate of bottled water, remove clothes frm line enter her car, dis will now be in d evening, she'll go over to d guy's house, d next time u'll see her will be monday morning, dis went on and on for months, they finally got engaged, started planning their wedding, did introduction. I went with her to get her wedding gown which she told me she's paying for herself. A month to the wedding this guy called the wedding off! I noticed she ws indoors for almosy a week, d next I saw her she ws like a walking corpse! I have told God, tha Man I'll get married to wldnt turn me into a house help. He will only know if I can do chores or not when we finally get married. Most guys abuse it and expect u 2 start doing their chores even on ur first visit! Its wrong and shldnt be practised, it has got nothing to do with girls been lazy. Its just not worth it. Instead of spending weekend's at my fiance's house doing chores, I'll stay home and do chores for my Parents, if e pain u, abeg hug transformer, I no fit.

People with their plenty examples. What of the men that spent on this and spent on that because they loved one woman and thought the woman would marry them? Thw woman in your example would have seen all sort of warning signs and still soldiered on because she was in her 30s. Guess why she was not married in her 30s? Most likely because she would not keep a cool head when she was younger. It's a thin line between been a caring woman and a desperate one. Human beings know the smell of desperation...both women and men. Desperation is not sexy at all.

Bibol: I don't think there's much of a big deal in it, so long as you have an understanding fiance. You seriously don't expect a man who will marry you in say, 6 months to always take you to eateries every time you visit. Cooking for him should even be a thing of joy. If you feel he's taking advantage of that, you can politely tell him to help out or just hang around and gist with you. It creates time for bonding. Trust me, no reasonable man will want to settle with a fake girl that only cares about her nails and Brazillian hair. Matured ladies know what to do to make their men happy. True love is not selective. Its high time ladies learnt that when a man loves you, there's no point trying to prove any useless point. If you love him truly, you will go out of your way to make him happy. You stand to gain more when you love and respect a man without nagging or arguing. However, everyone is entitled to their opinions.

A lady should definitely help her bf or fiance with house chores and cooking esp when there's no one else around to do so.
BUT
Do not make it too often so it doesn't become a case of "see finish"
There are some things that are just too special to give to any man that's not yet your hubby so that it doesn't loose it's value. A lady should reserve some part of herself for her hubby exclusively

janejive: Dats it, when a lady does house chores for her fiance she's desperate, when she doesn't she's lazy.

There is a middle ground.

No reasonable man expects you to move into his house and start vacuuming and mopping the whole place like its your father's house. Or cooking as if you are hosting a party. Same way most men would not spend their whole salary on your problems just cause you are their girlfriend. But once marriage is agreed, both parties start unifying their lives and problems small small.

You simply cannot be a reasonable woman and always expect to eat out when you visit your fiance. Or never do the dishes or clean. It will always put you in a bad light and may make the guy wonder about you. Maybe even reconsider.

If you sincerely believe he is lying when he says he wants to marry you, quit the relationship.

I dey laugh oh... i found out ladies are tryin 2 evade washin clothes which 2 me is permissible but me think 2 also now see washin dishes,sweepin and cleanin generally as so kind of sacrifice is absolute madness. I do all d odd house chores in my house and i find dis chores interestin. Ladies should please not see dis as something huge, its no big deal. My home can never be dirty because i luv a clean environ but if by chance my girl meets my crib filled wit dirt and she refuses 2 clean then, the more reason i wont marry her.
Anyhow, just live your life as it pleases you.

ichidodo: THIS IS ALL F**KED UP. SO IT IS TRUE! SO MANY WOMEN AROUND BUT NO ONE SUITABLE FOR MARRIAGE. SH*T!

Mr man, if u want a housegrl and not a fiance, dem plenty well well... its not by force 2 marry grls lyk me. U can get a babe dat wil do ur laundry, cook ur food, sweep ur compound, wash ur siblins clothes join or even bathe for u as d case may be since u suddenly became handicapped when u got a grlfrnd.

That being said, lemme paint dis scenerio...I cook, clean and wash for my bf/fiance everyday I go dere, it has become my job. He comes home and is pleased wit me. He gets used 2it and stylishly or jokingly chides me wen I choose not 2do it or don't do it well OR I do one or two thnz wen I'm dere, dats if I have 2, he assists me and we have fun n one day I surprise him. I do all d house chores n everythn...he gets home, sees it, hez impressed and really happy wit me. I do dat just once in a blue moon.

D only time u have 2 do shakara and get a guy 2do all wat u want is wen ure dating. Ure a queen because he still hasn't married u so he wants 2be d best he can be. Guys r no fools..once u get married, everythn changes. U don't get dose special treatments anymore. U become his wife, he becomes d head of ur home. So wen u slave wen u shld be enjoyin, wen in ur life do u want 2 enjoy? Wen do u want 2be treated lyk a queen? (And I mean regularly) Wen do u want 2 do shakara for a guy over and over again while he keeps chasin u? It won't last forever so why slave wen u shld be enjoyin?

Note- U do d house chores once a while 2 surprise him/ please him so its not dat ure lazy or not capable.

A fiance is your husband to be...that you agreed to marry...that we assume you are marrying because you love...the intended future father of your children...that you are likely already shagging with reckless abandon.

But you are too much of a prima donna to do some light house work on the weekend.

Americans have a phrase to describe such foolish behavior- its called being 'too cool for school'.

Like I said before, if you don't want to do house chores in your fiances house, stay in your father's house until wedding day. No one will fault you for that. But coming over and acting like you have no stake in the relationship...[b]in a house that you are probably moving to in a couple of months [/b]is not accepted Nigerian behavior.

I will be married to you for the rest of my life, God willing, so what is the big rush? There will be time enough to do house chores for you and the family when you marry me, so what is the big rush? If my fiance wants his chores done, then let him hire a housemaid. Of course I will help out occasionally, but that dosent automatically mean i should turn myself to a bloody washwoman and maid.

My best friend was forming capable wifey for her erstwhile fiance. She cooked for him and his mum, transformed his pigsty of an apartment to a pristine luxury resort, did his laundry and ironing and warmed his friggin bed. Today another lady, one small girl he met in the club is bearing the man's surname.

So tell me afam, nwoke, what is the big rush??

During courtship, you should be able to study your partner and be able to sense if they are lazy or not. I don't have to prove anything because like somebody rightly pointed out, it could all be a big act.

Well, I also have a story of a friend whose fiance started moving her things into the guys house 6 mths before they got married. She was at his place every weekend cooking sumptuous meals and 'yes' cleaning too. They were both in a hurry and could not wait. Like I said before, if your relationship is shaky and you have doubts about the guys sincerity, why agree to marry him? Most of these examples people give, if you ask the main actors they will tell you that the relationships were never built on any solid ground. When two people really want to marry each other, they usually do.

Which one is 'maid' inside biko nu? A man wants to marry you and you both love each other. Stay in your house and court the old fashioned way, or come over, have fun and also join in the house chores. It's not acceptable that you will be there and watch him sweeping and cooking without joining or taking over. Period. This is Africa, but you girls always want to act like you are dealing with European men. We (men) in Africa do not act like we are dating oyibo...if we did, there would be no weave on money for you, and your daddy would be paying for the wedding too.

Talk is free cheap...Why don't ladies display their bad characters in front of their husbands to be and wait till they're married before they start behaving like good wives? In life, you have to make an impression in order to be affected and to achieve your aim. In Africa especially where men marry women and not other way around, the girls have to create an impression that they're hardwrking and will contribute a lot to the marriage just like the man also has to show that he's financially capable to take care of his family by giving his wife to be some giveaways.

Don't mind them...you always should put your best foot forward when you are seeking something. Let a man be stingy, and then tell you he will be generous after marriage...lets see how well that will go down.
