Why do most Nigerian fathers resident in Nigeria shy away from baby sitting their children and changing their diapers?. Is it written anywhere in the bible of koran that the woman alone should do that job?

Bible of koran ke?

seriously, its a cultural thing and sometimes, laziness. I have friends in Nigeria who help out with such when they are home. I didn't like doing it because I was lazy and felt clumsy at it but I helped out with other things

Do you wake up at the middle of the night to cater for your crying baby or do you expect your wife to do it always?

you want investigate me? Can one sleep when a child is crying?

Yes, a lazy father especially when the house is big enough in that the distance from the childs crib to the fathers bedroom is almost a mile.

I enjoy babysitting!

Big lie. You no be naija man again?

i do hear rumor of nigerian women complaing their oga don't want to help out with babies, babysitting, diapers, bath etc.
May God help the oga in my life who won't help with our babies. na one trouser we go wear

That is cos the Mother of the kids let them and cos they are yet to truely know the meaning of fatherhood.
I will surely spend, baby sit and change my babies oh, cos will bond us more

Hauwa some men don't mind babysitting at all.
Mine did babysit,made baby bottles and did midnight feeds with ease.
He also bathed the babies.
That's why I don't mind the fact that he doesn't help with cooking and other housework

My sister what will I do?
will I kill myself?
He bathed the kids till they learnt how to bathe themselves.That's a lot of help,I tell ya
He also used to take all our laundry to the laundromat when we lived in an apartment
but the man will not do dishes.
Even if all the dishes are out in the sink,he'll wash one and use that one
He used to vaccum when the kids were younger too but not anymore.

I do appreciate him but I also have times I feel like strangling him

That is only normal and human.
Someone said, being married means having someone to annoy for the rest of your life.

A lot of women in America pray and fast everyday for a man like that yet they end up with the likes of Pataki or Sauron that cannot even dress the very bed they slept on.

That's why I put Nigerian men resident in Nigeria. You may be surprised that your husband will not do anything of such if you were living in Abuja or Port Harcourt for fear they might brand him a woman wrapper.

Have a friend that is the first of seven boys. He would qualify as a professional babysitter. He did everything, including carrying the baby on his back while doing his other house chores.

i plan to babysit my kids
who says it is a womans job only?
also i want my kids to say "dada" first

@topic
I wonder why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They expect the woman to take the kids with her anywhere she's going. Not bothering to consider babysitting their own kids.

Some Naija men are just pure lazy it's not even funny.

Babysitting your kids has nothing to do with your muscularity.

It actually brings the babies/kids and father more closer together.

Some naija men need to stop acting like cavemen. Seriously

Most don't think it's something a man should do. And they wonder why their kids like mum better but see them as scarecrows.

men staying at home and babysitting

their friends would first of all, laugh the living hell out of them

some men are just too egoistic to stay home and change their baby's diaper, feed them etc while they have a wife

Not stay at home as house husband.

But stay at home once in a while to babysit instead ofthe kid going to daycare all the time.

Like once outta every 6 months. too much to ask?

i dey dodge baby chores. . .

A very lazy husband and father indeed. Just like I thought, I pity your wife. I wish she kicks you out of the house one of these days for not helping out in house work.

slow thinker. . .

i said i dodge baby chores, not house work. . .

are you looking to get another ass kicking - i know u are a masochist trick who gets off on that

keep looking for the perfect man. . .

I repeat, you are lucky because if it were me I would've kicked you out on the streeets long ago. When you sleep outside under the bridge for one full week, you will learn to be obedient and dutiful at home. Jeez. 

who dash you husband ?

you never get anything pass drunken one night stand, and you dey misyarn about husband? abi thre's a scarcity of correct women, so that people have to settle for omega best
