GentleMimi: Right now,i do all house chores without help from anybody,and i'm working. I find it difficult to beg too. If i ask u nicely for something and u refuse.i might ask u a second time if i really love u. But there will never be a third time.
I'll simply do the best i can to tidy up and do other chores. The one wey i no fit do,i leave am jejely. If it becomes too much for me to handle,i'll consider a male house help. Female help is out of bound in my home...lol!

What if ur husband says he does not want a male house help too,what do u do

If she can't keep my house heavenly clean and still cook a very nice dish on top of it while i watch TV, then she should leave and let a woman who can do it take her place.

I need to eat and leave the plates there, remove my shoe in the palour then go to my room on barefoot cheesy
Play with my kids and scatter everywhere!
Only to wake up the next morning and see everywhere clean again. If she can't do it, she should leave.
Do you know what we men face everyday? And you expect us to comeback to the house and start helping you with chores again, why did i marry you in the first place? If na s*x, ashawo full every where nah.

While we were young, you were using all your money for samsung galaxy S39 and brazillian hair, blackberry nails, long eye lashes and dating multiple older men. while we were reading motivational books, investing in series and series of failed business just to get the experience, being an apprentice for years with all the insults involved just to make it, boycotting parties and shows to save time and money, learning painful computer language after language, learning to pastor a church, lead a team, work all night, solicit for funds, perfecting our use of spoken and written english etc
Now when we finally make it and marry you, you want us to come and help you with house chores, if i suuulaaaaaaaaaaaaap you!

This is how many marriages fail
Option 1
Woman == Lazy with house chores
Man doesn't care
Woman invites househelp
Man gets househelp pregnant! cheesy

Option 2
Woman == lazy to cook
Man == eats at the cafeteria everyday after work
Man impregnates cafeteria woman's daughter!

Option 3
Woman == lazy to fork
Man == realizes his secretary is actually s*xy
Man impregnates secretary!

whats wrong with female househelp if u marry a Godfearing man you have nothing to be scared off..thats why i usually tell my married friends to always package themselves always even at home especially when their husband is at home...all u have to do is to discover new things abt urself and always bring something new to ur relationship

Most men are willing to help if asked nicely,or the man actually sees that the woman need help with the chores. The problem atimes is that the woman is either unruly or confrontational when asking for help. At other times, the woman does expect the man to do equal amount of domestic work with her. This could be from laziness or sheer bossy nature of some ladies. Most men resort to staying aloof or uncooperative in such instances. Hardworking ladies,occasionally do get unhelpful spouses.

He married you to help take care of his house when he is out working his guts out so stop complaining. Why are women so lazy these day. What's the big deal in taking care of a home. He is very nice to you then what more do you want? He pays the bills, gives you money, and is trustworthy. Complimets your efforts and takes good care of you. Don't make a big deal about it. That TV time maybe the only time he is got to rest. I'm not against those men who like to help, I personaly do it but some women don't allow it. The only you can do for them is wash your clothes, especially Jeans. A man is gotta be a man so free him.

Serve him a bottle of his favorite drink while he is watching his tv,go back and finish YOUR chores. Men die early before their spouse why do you want to shorten my life span the more with your God given house chores.

That virtues woman in proverbs 31, have you ever wonder what the husband was doing all these while when she was cooking, cleaning etc?He was sleeping sweetheart or maybe sipping his vine drink under the fig tree.

Fijiano my bros,prevention is better than cure. My bro,i've seen and heard. I've got married aunties,friends and family members. When it comes to men and libido,i cannot bet my life on it. E better make d man sef dey mess up outside,than get tempted with house help.
I lived for a few yrs with a family that i love to pieces. I got close to the ''help''. This girl decided to leave one day,but refused to disclose reasons. I begged her to the point of tears cos i really liked her. When she disclosed her reasons,i felt weak! Oga has been up to no good.
Even someone i trusted with my life disappointed me. Yet u want me to get female help? God forbid. I'd rather slave it through!

Then he should be ready to make his input. I'm not the type to talk too much or nag about home matters. I have a job and career. I believe in contributing towards family finances. If he thinks being a provider is an excuse to be lazy,then i'm allowed to be partially lazy.
I'm not gonna ever ask my hubby to cook or scrub the toilet. Infact,i find it difficult to be impressed by another person's meals. All i'll ask for his help in some heavy duty back-breaking work. If possible,he can help wash some clothes in the washer and iron,weed,arrange the sitting room,garage,store,wash the cars....i can handle the kitchen,room,toilet and bath,cook,market stuff...blablabla. Just an example. Is it too much to ask?
No reasonable and loving man will see his wife down on her knees,slaving away,and still sit his azz on the couch!

Crap. And what makes you think women don't work and come home in the evening tired too. Who told you women do not read motivational books, invest or know computer languages? You want to come back from work and scatter your clothes. Anyway I pity your wife. What kind of women even marry these Nairaland men Anyway, you are still a kid. You really can't be mature with this mentality.
