Okay! Woman no dey cook for me. So which woman you wan make I appreciate?

Hmm.. Na pastor pikin oo!

YourCoffin:
Men will always be men. If you like teach them till thy kingdom come, it will come a time when he would dump all those stuff and start frequenting restaurants. House chores and cooking are really tiring for most men. When I mean tiring, I mean tiring.

For instance, my mum trained me quite well in that aspect. I can cook virtually everything. But right now I only boil noodles and I'm good to go. No time for all those pounding and turning of pots. Very few men retain their cooking skills as they grow because naturally they would prefer not to cook, especially ones that require time and extra care. They are just not that organized and focused as women and therefore cooking is really a hardwork for them.

If you have to force your boys to learn to cook, prepare to buy countless pots and make sure you have a fire extinguisher ready somewhere.

I learnt how to do a lot of domestic work while I was growing up..if you will agree with me,mothers are only concerned about their girl-child being domestically inclined. They teach their girl-child probably because they feel knowing or doing domestic work is meant for just the female..

I personally don't agree to the fact that domestic work is meant for only the female..I think mothers should also teach their boy-child domestic work too..if you can teach your girl how to sweep,clean,cook,do the dishes and laundry then your boy should also learn that as well..it goes a long way..

The importance of the boy-child being domestically inclined is that when he grows up,he stands on his own.That knowledge helps him take care of his personal needs not to go about looking for someone to do it for him..this is my opinion...

even if na GEJ pikin

You're correct. I learnt how to do most of the house chores before my sisters. Cooking, washing my siblings clothes, etc. I did all of that and still do whenever I'm at our family house (minus the clothe washing 'cos we are all grown up now). Back then, my mum even preferred my cooking to my sisters'.
I also learnt how to bake cakes and make doughnuts from my mum because I was her 'assistant' whenever she did it then.

Now that I'm on my own, I don't have problem managing myself. I go to the market to buy food stuffs and do the cooking (I don't like eating out).
I wake up early to make my breakfast (not just bread and tea!) before leaving for work by 7.30am.

And the bickering starts............AGAIN!!!

Don't you girls get tired of all these.

You really know how to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
What value does domestic work add to the male?

How many households have you actually seen that the boys don't do domestic work. I think people are just blowing this thing out of proportion. What is the percentage of households who don't teach their boys domestic work. Its very insignificant.

Even if you teach a guy domestic work, unless he is jobless in future, he probably will still need someone to do it. Besides if your husbands were excellent domestic workers, trust me all you girls making so much noise will not be comfortable with him. Because you would all feel intimidated.

Besides how many of you girls can fix a bulb in your house or repair the door bell, or kill the chicken that you will cook. DO you even know how to wash a car or change the tire? Do you know how to check the oil and temp of a car? Can you change oil in a car? Do you know how to start a generator? Can you operate the TV that you watch beyond pressing the power button and the channel or volume button. Do you even know where to locate the button without the remote? Do you even know what the power button looks like?

Who taught the boys all of that? Where were you when they were teaching the boys all that.

Abeg make una go siddon one place and stop all these your feminist inclined reasoning.

Haba!!!!

aghaibiam:
Boys should be taught domestic duties,I agree.
What extra stuff should girls be taught that are perceived as manly duties?
I can tell you a few,changing car tyres.how many ladies can do that?I can't.
Some ladies will stay in the dark until a man is around because they can't change a bulb.
How many ladies can start a generator?I mean the keyless type?
Killing of chicken and livestock .
Feel free to add yours.

My dear, some people are more emotionally inclined to kill animals than others. I can't kill a chicken. If someone else won't do it, then no chicken

ihedinobi2:

That divide is biased more to men than women. It has always been weird to see women hunters and warriors. Always. The Amazons were the "legend" they were for that particular reason: that they were an anomaly. You don't hear anyone making that much of a horde of men going to war. We only talk abouy spectacular male warriors who stood out in battle. Till today I have never cared whether the Amazons won or lost their battles or who their leader was just that they were women who went to war.

Modernization de do people sometin sha! There will always be male roles and female roles. Whether we are all living in space and wearing astronaut suits to parties and drinking out of star-cups or we're living here on earth and eating with silverware.

Women really should make peace with their feminity, abeg. Keep the house in order. Your brain was designed to be able to handle that function. We will endeavor to make sure that the house is provided for, secure and integrated into the larger community too. That's what our brains are wired for.

UjSizzle:

Ok nice story. But what has this got to do with killing chicken?

ihedinobi2:

This: male humans/people are more emotionally inclined to kill animals than female humans.

Sort of a correction.

bukatyne:


LOL!

Investing now to reap the benefits tomorrow

@OP: A lot of guys were taught but they atill feel it is demeaning to do chores and dump it at the slightest chance or wait still they get married.


If [b] bomboy [\b] never saw daddy doing chores, no amount of training will make him do it in future except if he decides to change

carefreewannabe:


The examples you have listed are not even anything special.
I can do MOST of these things on the list. Whatever I can't do, I can pay for.

By the way, there are some things I can't do and I have seen plenty of guys who can't do them either.
Put up new furniture is an example, hang a new lamp is another.

princefunmi:


And doing domestic work is something special abi?

There are equally as many women who cant do domestic work

I know I'm a damn good cook and there are some women who can't even boil water.

So madam talk another thing or park well!

homesteady:


I'm sorry to say this, it has not helped you at all! Instead you are suffering! Restaurants are not only for people who don't want cook, it is also for people to taste different kinds of food! Variety is the spice of life!
So for 5years you stayed in college, you never ate outside? you never ate things like fried rice, moin moin, and some special foods that students don't normally make?
