Husband Or Househelp? by Nobody: 12:42pm On Dec 30, 2016 |
This topic is something I really want to talk about, because it is something I see every day, in public places, some homes I visited and so on. It is becoming a norm in today’s marriages where you see a man, a grown man, husband of the house, doing dishes in the kitchen, while the wife goes to make her hair or something! We tend to like to copy everything the ‘white man’ does wrongly, because not everything that applies to them (over there) that applies here. I have been to a neighbour’s house in the past (they just moved in), so I decided to say hello properly as a Nigerian, before they will say I didn’t welcome them well or don’t like their presence. so I rang the door bell, and the man, the husband of the house answered the door, he smiled and ushered me in. I made myself comfortable in their sitting room, while he disappeared into one of the rooms, I sat there thinking he went to inform his wife of my presence, but he came back to the sitting room alone, obviously dressed more appropriate, as I met him in work clothes. When I didn’t see his wife, who looked almost his age, I asked him; what of madam? he said she had gone to the salon to have her hair done. I also asked after their 2 year old son, he said he was sleeping. I took a deep breath and smiled, he felt a bit uncomfortable with the look on his face. He offered me a drink which I declined because, as madam nor dey, I nor fit shout! After a bit of conversation about work, Lagos traffic and all that, he excused himself and said he needed to get back to work, (he still had laundry to do and the bathroom to clean!), I almost froze with shock! How can a woman leave all the house chores to her man to do? Is it normal for a good marriage? Was it an agreement? These were all the questions running through my mind as I called out to him that I was leaving because I had a meeting to attend. Leaving your husband/man to do the house chores automatically makes you the boss, yes! and if there is anything that wrecks marriages, it is the woman playing the man while the man plays the woman. You might think the man loves you so much to want to do all the dirty jobs, no, he is only trying so hard to please you because you are obviously calling the shots! I know some women hate men who do house chores, I am one of them. A survey reveals that most men who do house chores are lazy men, they would rather do house chores than go out there and fend for their families! it is appalling, unacceptable. I am not saying a woman should work her ass off because she is a wife, but it shouldn’t be a daily occurrence, something we watch in movies. For my neighbors, it was normal because, he goes as far as washing her underpants as well, yuck! I don’t understand why some men enjoy being called the ‘nice’ guy? when at the end of the day they end up hurting themselves and the ones they’re trying to please. know your place as a man, and know your place as a woman, it is a 2 way traffic thingy. like I always say, I am not a relationship expert, but these are little things I see every day that makes me want to talk about them. I have seen a husband, shopping in the open market while the wife sits in the car with the kids, not that she is pregnant or something. I don’t know their reason for that but I thought it was kind of weird. At this point, I remember my maternal uncle, who wanted to play ‘oyinbo’ husband by going straight to the kitchen as soon as he jumps out of the car from work, lol Then I always wondered if he would maintain it, but no, he didn’t because it wasn’t quite long before his friends started ‘yabbing’ him, he then stopped even his wife didn’t find it funny. You confine your husband to the kitchen because he doesn’t complain, tomorrow he gets a babe who he goes to her house to 'chillax', and gets pampered and served and bleeped well! shame on you!

What works in your household doesn't have to work in another person's home. Just face your own marriage, and make it work instead of being concerned about the marriage of strangers. 56 Likes |

If I have a brother or an uncle who undergoes the named treatments, I will personally find him a side chick, to cook for him, pamper him and treat him right. Men call the shot where I come from. No room for perpetually lazy gossips and chewing-gum saloon girls. 2 Likes |

Op, don't be amazed. Every marriages have different dynamics. you may to shocked to realise your neighbour, especially the husband is been taken care of by his wife. Rent -wife Feeding -wife Clothing both of them-wife Even giving him money for transport when. He's going out/ fueling the car for him to use -wife Baby food -wife Then behold the husband's duty is. Sex, cooking and cleaning the home. I have seen a couple like that. While the man uses his spare time to club and sexxxualy service married lonely women or older single unmarried ladies and single mums as well .. Anything goes As long as they are rich and he can squeeze out some money from the women. He's good to go. And at then end of the day he's back home to his wife late at night. Everyday same circle. So. Whatever happens in people marriage doesn't surprise or shock me.. That's their agreement. 5 Likes |

Op, abeg get married first. What is wrong if oga decide to do some chores and take care of the kids while I fix my hair just for a day? If the man is not complaining how is it your concern? My advice in the coming year is to stay in your own house and mind your biz. 8 Likes |

Descendants of Jezebel will never like topics like this. They fancy the idea of wrapping their husbands around their thumbs. It's the men involved I usually blame though, they provided the opportunity for such treatment and I do not feel sorry for them. 1 Like |

You saw the man in his work cloths which means he just returned from work and went straight to cleaning the house. Either the OP is lying or the man is a wuss. If that man is my brother I will debrother him straight. S/th is not right in that house 1 Like |

That you still want to live archaically is your own cup of tea but don't disrupt another's home b/c you don't agree with how they choose to live their lives. What goes on in another woman's home is not your business. 4 Likes |

thorpido: As in eh! Funny thread. I am beginning to think the proverb 'experience is the best teacher' and the idea that 'singles shouldn't comment in married matters' is apt and not discriminatory. @OP: I think you should learn more about the 'whites' you don't want us to emulate... They more or less have same idea towards family where husbands provide & wife handles the chores. Reading their blogs e.g. reddit and Huffington Post reveals they expect a wife to stop working as soon as she has kids. Some of their authors are even more 'traditional' than we are and tell wives to fully cater to their husbands and leave money matters to them. A husband doing chores makes his wife a 'boss'? Is doing chores degoratory? Finally, everyone runs their home as they deem fit. Next time, do us a favor and stay with the couple for 1 week so we have a true picture of what their schedule is really like. 2 Likes |
