I lik it wen youths talk more of their stigma. In my school, I gain a lot because I can cook very well,most guys bring their food stuff 4 me 2 help them in cooking. I gain respect nd favour each tym I visit my big bros, uncles nd family friends because I help a lot in hauz chores. The ratio shld b 50:50. 2 Likes |

i don't think i mind doing housework per say but unfortunately as a child whenever i was asked to sweep all i ever heard was "you're not doing it well!!" going forward though, i may not fancy the idea of having a maid or house-help at least not in the early stages of marriage so somehow she and i will find a way to share the housework. its really not a big deal at all in my opinion |

To me its OK for a guy to know how to do house chores but I would hate if he knows how to cook very much...such a huge turn off. |
Re: The Boy-child Should Also Be Domestically Inclined!!! by herald9: 5:18pm On Nov 20, 2014 |
Cooking and household chores? These are normal things to me....Even when I go for a visit... Step mum always surrender the pots to me Was exposed to cooking at a very tender age....Since I'm the first born and dad was single... So tell me why I shouldn't juggle the pots with perfection |

[quote author=eleojo23 post=27540153]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. nago kocho omaye mi. I trust ami iye wa. My brothers are just like you. No woman can do shakara for them both in the kitchen and when it comes to domestic work. Will do same with my boys when i eventually have any by the grace of God. Im totally for the male child learning alongside the girl child. No partiality! |

nomabeeee: I disagree ...I grew up knowing how to do domestic work. In fact I was even a house boy for a family when I was young. Handling all the domestic task. It is one experience I am realy proud of. But today even to cook indomie for myself is punishment talk less of washing my cloths. I pay people to do that stuff. Yes I can do them and occasionally do them but I do not have the time or the passion for domestic work. I see it as a waste of my productive time. I have so much on plate to to consider domestic work. If I marry a wife that loves domestic work great ... If she doesn't I would not mind paying for such service. The only clause is she alone will still be responsible for what we eat. The paid professional help can take care of the rest. Moreover I would teach my kids domestic work. Whether they use it or not is up to them. |

Re: The Boy-child Should Also Be Domestically Inclined!!! by MNDY(m): 5:21pm On Nov 20, 2014 |
kreamidiva: Before nko? The boy-child should be given the "life of hustle" orientation by the dad ideally! You wouldn't want a boy-child whom you groom with house chores and later becomes afraid to face the real life out there (the hustle life) for men! ------------------ Women (should) hustle too but relatively on a low scale, life has been crafted in a way that the men are specially given the larger chunk of the hustle task! ------------------ At teenage, a vast majority of young dudes realize this and brace up for it! An average dude is bereft of doing chores or domestic works even for his own personal bachelor gain and rather gets out there chasing the money till his toes bleed! ------------------ His room dirty, he himself looking unkept, dirty nails, smelly mouth! All because "no time" and in the words of Davido's new song, "owo ni koko" meaning "money is the in-thing." ------------------ On the whole, the OP who posted this topic already knew the response to this topic and just posted it! |

I see no reason why a man should not know how τ̅o do household chores, ezpecially cooking ..... . My Mum makes sure we know those things, OR how do I help my future wife with cooking or other things when she is sick or tired , if I don't know those things ?? |

nomabeeee: Kai! This is very important. I never really cooked while young. I had three sisters who did the cooking. But I did dishes, went to market a lot. Sometimes its not that mothers forbid it, its just that while the ladies are in the kitchen, the boy child is either running errands or some man job assigned by the dad. I remember being the one who goes out to grind the pepper most. I also am the one who goes to the market. But u wasn't allowed to cook. I however paid attention to the necessary ones like rice and beans 1 Like |

My children(male and females), equally share in the chores in my household, from hoovering,plate washing, room tidying,bed making etc etc And has they mature in age, chores like car washing, understanding kitchen appliances and their uses etc etc, would also be included. Not also forgetting, easy around the house DIY stuffs !!! |
