my younger brother is leaving with us but my wife used to complaint to me he doesn't wash plates, pls how should I handle the matter peacefully coz am confused.

stephenmorris:
how old is he? ,if he is still a very young boy like 17 years of age and below she has the right to complain but if he isn't she has no right to complain

Tallesty1:
The issue of men helping with house chores has nothing to do with age, rather it has a lot to with what the boy is doing.

Does he work?

Does he have the time to help?

If yes then he should wash plates.

The OP should also help with the cooking if his work or business is not a stressful one.

This is their family and whatever the wife is cooking is for all of them.





Life sha, if my senior brother's wife had the means, I am sure she would have used security code or pattern to lock her kitchen so that we won't enter there when we visit

Acheron:
If your brother is an adult then he should wash his own plate after every meal if your wife consider washing an extra plate a difficult task.

If your younger brother is in his teens, he should assist your wife with washing.

herbie27:
So if he's an adult he should just wash the plate he used?.

How selfish could some people be.

Acheron:


You expect a grown man to wash plates used by his brother, wife and kid(s)?

How unreasonable can some people be?

bodmas119:
we don't have house help,
my brother just graduated from university
he used to fetch water and do some house chores.

pattybf:


why cant he also cook his own food in his own kitchen?

if ur bro is too big to help around d house, he should be big enough to get his own apartment too!

Acheron:

So younger bros cannot visit their older brothers again to spend some couple of days?

Who was washing the plates before he came around? If it is the wife, why problem does she have with an additional plate?

I repeat, if the younger bro is in his teens, he should assist in washing the dishes [s]but if he's a grown man, he should was his own[/s] or just leave it for the wife to wash. It's her DUTY. Cry me a river.

Cc her.bie27

herbie27:
The part i cancelled, if he's a grown man she won't be giving him dishes to wash, so he will have no business in the kitchen.

Acheron:

Then why are you disturbing my mentions?

herbie27:
The same way you disturbed mine.
But asking him to wash dishes for himself is quit selfish...you didn't imagine how the wife will feel if he does that.
