If you don't want the lecture you could try to give birth to a baby yourself. And nurture it. Then tell us what you are bringing to the table while doing all that.

Brati, nothing against motherhood. But the OP coming to tell us stories of how they sliced someone's abdomen open blah blah blah is bunkum for me. I've seen soldiers brought from the battle field, operated on without anesthesia in bone wrenching pain. So all that talk of abdomen sliced open is waffling

The child is the compensation.

For men who are capable and reasonable, they get their wives push gifts.

The child is not the compensation.

From the initial post, he is asking why you ask what a woman is bringing to the table, when she is not given any compensation for birthing your children. It means she is doing it as a free service.

A birth gift is not the price of a child. How is that considered reasonable?

But the child is something that is brought to the table. And it is priceless.

More valuable than your crude.

A couple of days back, my wife put to bed using CS. Initially we had a baby before, I a know how complicated and painful the pregnancy and childbirth was.

Now I was in the theatre during the CS and I saw first hand how someone's abdomen was sliced open and the baby pulled out. I also saw how doctors were putting their hands into someone's abdomen and how they finally stitched her up. It wasn't an easy sight to behold. Right now, she's recovering, but the pain she's passing through is much.

To me, this is the highest form of sacrifice that someone can give for the family.

So to the men and husband out there..... before you ask your wife to be "what she is bringing to table", kindly think about the sacrifice they make in bringing your children to the world.

I no dey ask that stupid question... Why you no check your table before marrying her. You dey find who go bring something come for your miserable table

Re: As A Husband, "Before You Ask Your Wife What Are You Bringing To The Table". by Wisegeek01(m): 10:24pm On Nov 27, 2023
The phrase what are you brining to the table .. ha grossly been misunderstood, some men that even ask the question don't even know why they are asking the question, while on the other hand some women fly into a fit of rage or keep dodging the question, why they are angry they don't even know, its just a psychological impulse,

first of all it is not mandatory for the lady to actually bring finance into the mix but it helps so that should not be the centre of the question, so the men asking and referring to finance really shouldn't do that, focus on what she is supposed to bring

.. its not her job to bring finance, so if you are referring to that you are asking the wrong contextual question, a lady actually has what she should bring to the table, but sadly not a lot of ladies have taken their time to sit down and think about the question, because the are always offended or defensive, its just a simple question, that you need to understand, its not you mdfkn job to bring finance, that is what the man should bring to the table,

what the lady brings to the table is .. ranges from
great values
Emotional Intelligence
Attention to Detail
Organizational Skills
Nurture and Care
Empathy and Compassion
Collaborative Spirit
Multitasking Abilities
Intuition
Social Skills
Diplomacy

when you list these features and tell the man you posses these traits
now it s your turn to ask him
what does he bring to the table
...
he should have most of these below
finance
protection
security
Leadership
Decision-Making Skills
Stability
Emotional Support
Problem-Solving Abilities
Initiative
Adaptability
Sense of Humor
Integrity
Shared Responsibilities

marriage or relationship is team effort, not competition
the next time i hear that question in the wrong context i fit flog person cool grin

Are they not also children of the woman?

It appears he's saying that having a child under such excruciating circumstances should defy the question of "what do you bring to the table" thrown at women.

Of course a woman should have more value than being a baby machine. But then, that's his perspective.

I'd like to think that veterans get respect and some leeway in certain circumstances. Even when they pick up a gun and go psycho.

It's only small men with little minds that throw tantrums when a woman is being hailed over her biological make up.... See them crying "what about me? ", "I am in pains too", "hail me too", with cataarh in their nose.


NO REAL MAN WILL BE CRYING BECAUSE SOMEONE IS ACKNOWLEDGING A WOMAN'S BIOLOGICAL PREDICAMENT asides p00r, low self esteem, little men who feel insecure about thier manhood.

Apart from that, how many men work in oil rigs compared to number of women both married and single that give birth?

Comparing women giving birth to men working at rigs. Still trying to understand how that level of logic works. Guess he has nothing to compare it with but still needs to keep the stance.

Are they not compensated for the risk adequately? What is the compensation for this risk? Since a job is the same as birthing.

U went for CS that's why. Little girls are putting to bed daily without these issues or expenses in the village.

Giving birth is a natural gift women have been blessed with it is natural to them. Yes there can be complications but its mostly a natural process.

This does not excuse what women have to bring to the table. I do not know why people should be afraid to answer these questions. A woman should add value and if u don't know go and read about the virtuous woman in the bible. She went far beyond bearing children.

Some will say because they bore u kids they now have a right make ur life a living hell. undecided
