Dear Nigerian Men That Don't Help With Housework, by CHoccolaTE: 9:55pm On Feb 12, 2013
How are you and yours? Hope everyone is fine. If so, thanks be to God.
My purpose of writing this letter is to inform you that you guys really need to start pitying your wives when it comes to the issue of housework.
Ejor, we understand that you are kings and monarchs and are very powerful and wonderful.
But abeg, try to pity your wives when it comes to the issue of housework.
I have seen different threads on Nairaland where men stated that they can not help with the housework because that is a woman's work or because if they help their wives she will start expecting them to always assist.
One thing you should realize is that you should help out if your wife contributes financially even if the responsibility of taking care of the house is expected to be that of the woman in the society we live in.
It is not easy for women, you have to understand this, having to run jobs and take care of kids and take care of the house all at once is not a piece of cake so please help out.

How would you feel if your wife refused to contribute money to help you with something you have dire need of money for, maybe your business? Or if she refused to contribute money for medical care that you might need for an illness someday in future? What if your wife refused to help you in such times because she believes that contributing financially to the house is something only the husband should do?
Kindly start assisting in the house, thank you. It doesn't make you less of a man.

Yours Faithfully,
Chocolate.

Erm.. Househelps?

Okay, it depends. If they have grown-up kids then the kids should help with chores.... But if they're newly weds and they both work full time, then I think a househelp would fit in perfectly.

I can't do much of kitchen work or cleaning though I'm a great cook and also good at fixing appliances. Would that make me your dream guy @ OP?

Unfortunately, such men dont read Nairaland. They are too busy spending that spare time they have from not doing chores on clubbing, drinking and watching football. I pray I find myself in the same situation.

So why is it forbidden for men to help?

No. Please tell me the reason why you cannot clean.

greatgod2012: Hhhhhmmmm.....op, are you sure you are ready for this war?
I am not trying to start a war, I want a civil discussion. That is why I was so polite in my OP even though the issue is one that greatly annoys me.
This issue have been tackled severally on this section of d forum and here u are, starting it all over again.
Abeg, even if it has been tackled that doesn't mean it cannot be brought up again. Someone might have new and better ideas to suggested than what was suggested before. Besides there are people who didn't read the last thread(s) and this one could help them.
O. K oo oo o, im watching ooo, but remember that no two marriages are d same.....each to his/her own.
Of course. The people I am addressing should use their disgression. If they have wives that are somehow happy with doing all the housework alone then no wahala. They should use their sense to know that the advice does not apply to them. Thank you very much for your contribution.

I'm just not caught out for it. Kinda too menial though I do it once in a blue moon and I love having a clean environment too. I'd rather do more challenging things like the gardens, repairs, paint jobs e.t.c. Is there any problem with that? grin

So menial jobs should be left to the inferior human beings like women abi?

If your wife is ok with it then no problem.
Re: Dear Nigerian Men That Don't Help With Housework, by Nobody: 9:35am On Feb 13, 2013
Other tasks I mentioned is menial too but I just feel house cleaning is too petty and monotonous hence me not liking it.
Hey! I'm not yet married but will soon be. grin

It`s not like all of the women LIKE cleaning either, you know.

I actually hate it. It is boring and I wish I did not have to do it, but I still do it, because it is needed.

Women are expected to compromise more when it comes to doing work like cleaning that since house work is regarded as women's work. Only few men would agree to do any considerable amount of cleaning in the house.

Its nt compulsory that he helps with some domestic chores but it is necessary.if u need help with anything around the house,tell him lovingly and am sure he would love to help out and know wen to make such requests(when his favryt soccer team is playin isn't d ryt tym to ask him to help u change d baby diapers).just don't make it a duty kind of tin n lastly always appreciate woteva he does n praise him for it no mata how badly he does d job.that way thr will b peace in d house.

Women should learn to carry out their responsibilities without complaining. Women are good at amending stuff. Women should cook, do dishes, sweep, wash clothes, take care of the children and other such roles that are obtainable in where they come from. The truth is that women are naturally lazy. Men have their roles to play, leave them to concentrate.

I grow up with ma dad gettin me at d nanny's, placin me in the front seat and drivin to get foodstuffs at the market. He do the meals evn b4 ma mum returns. He also do ds esp wen mom will be takin long to arrive and he's got the spare time.
I grow up to see him rinse or wrigle while mom washes.
I grow up to watch him support in any way necessary. And there's ds habbit of his I imbibed...I take meat from stew and eat wit a nice cold water!!! He does ds most wen he is d one who did d soup, and less wen mom does cos mom tends to grow stern eyes!!! If d soup aint new, he won't touch it so if mom suceeded in guidin d stew till it looses it's hotness; it's safe!!!
Well, ds thread aint for me, am out!!!
