@jennykadry, beauteous, gabr,

So what you ladies are saying is that you don't feel safe whenever your guy calls u mum, or you feel he wants you to do the laundry and chores.
Re: Is It Normal For Nigerian Men To Call Their Girlfriends "Mom"? by Gabry(f): 2:04pm On Jun 14, 2008
No Beauteous,
Cause in Malaysia, every mothers would do chores and laundry for their sons. Its a natural thing. My boyfriend does not ask me to do anything, its just that when he calls me mom, it reminded me of doing chores.
Re: Is It Normal For Nigerian Men To Call Their Girlfriends "Mom"? by Nobody: 2:05pm On Jun 14, 2008

Re: Is It Normal For Nigerian Men To Call Their Girlfriends "Mom"? by Gabry(f): 2:05pm On Jun 14, 2008
I was just wondering when guys calls their girlfriend mom, do they actually meant well? And when they say it, did their girlfriend reminded them of their mom? If so, that would be odd dont you think?

I now understand. So you are telling me now that you husband (cuz i know you are married) doesn't call you mum.

tngtech,
Well I did and had been telling him to stop but he says that its normal in Nigeria and that he likes calling me that. Come to think of it, I think he should be my mother. . .  undecided He cooks, he cleans, he do laundry, he do house chores. . .  He'll be like the perfect mom.

Jenny,
HAHAHA! grin

Yes its wrong for a mother to do house chores for their children that are up to the age of doing it themselves.

Yes tngtech,
I agree with you thats why todays generation, most of us are spoilt and cant really do the housork except me  grin My mom is a Tiger and my dad will leave us to rot untill the day we can stand our own feet but the normal average parents here would usually hire a maid to do house chores or usually the mother woul do for the sons and the father would do for the daughters. Thats very normal.

sorry, wasnt' really talking to you.

Re: Is It Normal For Nigerian Men To Call Their Girlfriends "Mom"? by uspry1(f): 2:18pm On Jun 14, 2008
Not only Nigerian men call their girlfriends "MOM". American men do the same thing calling their gf "MOM".

NO BIG DEAL! NO BIG DEAL! grin

Which mean a single mother with children at age 35-55 that most men would not marry them, instead of using them as gfs as soon as they can dump them for younger childless/never married/single girls to get married.

That is what it is!

I accustomed receiving men call me "mom" because I have children plus single mother plus older than those men in 10 years apart!!!

Good luck!
