Ever since i have come of age to know my left from ma right. I have noticed the fact that women are really stronger than men in some areas of life.

Take for instance, my mum, she never seems to get tired doing anything, but then my Dad, godamn it! Ever since i was a kid, have never seen him wash an ordinary handkerchief, not to talk of washing his wears. Father can never bend down to even sweep.lolzz, i keep wondering if its weakness or just men and there usual pride. Thank God say na my brothers them the wash his clothes, cuz me don't have that strength.

So people, is it just ma own Dad or is it still same with yours?

First impression really does doesn't matter!!. Let me ask, I D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ come

Its not peculiar to all men at all. In some homes I've been to, the Dads are the natural workaholics and the Moms are usually the lazier halves, ALWAYS relying on the housemaid to bail them out of every imaginable task at hand. Not trying to instigate a battle of the sexes, but no gender is naturally wired to be Workaholic or lazy, it boils down to what obtains from one particular individual to the next.

This is the simple logic
As rugged as NOKIA 3310 is, you cant use it to browse
Its been programmed into us mostly by our parents especially our Mothers(ironic)

In my case: I don't do house chores at all,except wash ma cloth...I don't cook(cos I can't,except noodles),don't sweep.....infact I do jst nothing....
My mum will never allow a guy to pick beans,remove egusi shell, even she no go allow me loose my sistas hair......
So, what type of husband do you expect me to be.........and my case is better ,my friend (almost 30yrs ) can't wash his cloth not to talk of other stuff,na every weekend those women come dey help clean his house n wash his cloth....now that am living alone...its challenging...buh hurray.... ⌣»̶·̵̭̌·̵̭̌✽̤̈̊Ŧђɑ̤̥̈̊п̥̥̲̣̣̣kƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇̇✽̤̈̊·̵̭̌·̵̭̌«̶⌣.

its not just ur dad, men are mostly like dat.. Well u wont blame dem, they do the most important part of fetching money for their children.

Well,it has been found that women have this natural strength that is being renewed daily faster than that of men,to enable them carry out their household responsibility. For men,it isn't about pride. It's more like they feel that such things are for the women or their children to do. Some men do their own laundry too.

Most annoying is a house where the male children just lazy about and the female are expected to fetch water (from outside) then still come back to prepare food .

I wouldn't classify my dad under "lazy"my siblings and i do d aus chores,my mum assits wen she cums bck 4rm work,d dry cleaner does d washing n pressing,so being able to go 2 work and feed d family is enuf work 4 d men,i don't see any reason y they sud participate in any working activities at ome,unless in cases where d man nids 2 get involve,lyk repairing a linkin roof or fixing sumfin sha..

you think is every one that has a washing machine? I ain't saying my dad is lazy because he goes to work too. I'm just wondering why he hardly does little chores for him self.

ITbomb: Most annoying is a house where the male children just lazy about and the female are expected to fetch water (from outside) then still come back to prepare food .

mother makes sure my brothers are engaged in one chores or the other, i mean they can't just sit and lazy about while we the ladies do almost evrythn for them.

give me example of d chores u want im do??

Stop wondering, all houses ain't the same

And how is this post relevant to this section?


Mods should move this topic to Family section. OP is just confused.

I think it all boils down to upbringing. I know men who would rather cut their arms off than do a single house chore, and there are those who can perform every known task in the book.
Society has made it that it's a woman's position to take care of domestic chores, while the man takes the role of breadwinner.

I guess they think we're super humans, but if you train your boys to handle certain house chores then they'll keep up with it in marriage


I remember my dad doing absolutely nada in the house as a growing child. When situations changed, he became superman--cooking, laundry, bathing us etc. You either struggle to adapt to change when things are different, or you die waiting for someone to do the basics for you.


Now, i train every male around me to handle some task.
E.g. A girl cannot pound fufu or yam when able bodied young men are in the house.
She should not fetch water when men are available.
Do the cooking when she'll be late home. Hell, I can direct my brothers on what to cook and how to do it over the phone.

Like I said, it all boils down to training. You need to teach them to work or they won't do it. If society has taught them to depend on women, it's time for a reorientation.

Families with diFferent settings...u expect ma dad to come bck frm work in d evening to come wash/any chores!!!not possible...we do d chores while he brings d money.

There are just some things males don't prefer doing.. I think it's societally influenced. As for being more hardworking, greater upper body strength and more convoluted brains..their natural build surely favours the males.

thanks my darling, that's how it should be. To be candid, is time for re-orientation.

I always pity my girl. who happens to be the only girl among four boys. they just lazy about while she does everything absolutely everything except for their clothes but she washes that of her parents. her mother ain't helping matters, she never allows her to use d washing machine but her brothers can.

generally most men are lazy when it comes to domestic chores, but they ain't lazy with more demanding jobs.

Most men are like that because that's the way they were brought up.

I beg your brothers to sign up for adoption in my house. In my house when i was growing, as early at 9, i would wash everyfuggin thing there is to wash; toilet,bathroom,plates,window,the floor, and the dirtiest rags of the world. Although i was a stubborn kid, i would sweep every morning before going to school. Being the only boy in the family with 3 sisters people at school would always tease me about being lucky because they taught being the only boy means ultimate freedom from chores. But hella NO! was the case here, at 15/16 i was still doing all i listed above plus washing the plates of the whole house and running of them crazy errands like pepper grinding, and some impromptu errands like that at a point i was like God why this family ?. Pops wasn't around most of the time so i called over the phone, spoke through text msgs, but pops didn't get the picture he was advising to continue that it's part of my contribution to the family, i felt like running away. My mom always made references like what if we were all males what will i do ? and there's a big point in that.

The P didn't stop until i got admission into a school, while in school i appreciated that i had that training in me, because i didn't have to wait for a girlfriend before i cook, wash or do anything,it made me independent to an extent. I wouldn't have whined about it if i knew it was going to end. But i can't deny that it is very hard doing those chores without a nibble of encouragement. Now it's my lil sis that's doing it,i feel sorry for her because it's a lot do and some times get very tiring.

So as a pop i would definitely let my male child do some because in the end he'll be the one needing it.

wasak: I always pity my girl. who happens to be the only girl among four boys. they just lazy about while she does everything absolutely everything except for their clothes but she washes that of her parents. her mother ain't helping matters, she never allows her to use d washing machine but her brothers can.

lolzz, i guess she should teach you. Same with ma mum, wakes up early, does some necessary things nd off to work she goes, comes back, doesn't rest nd continues, she never seems to get tired. I just admire her strength.

Me too ......mi guess that y an so lazy wen it comes to aus work Õoº°Úº ....she no too dey complain....infact I no dey enter kitchen sef, except wen I wan steal fried meat......

@OP,some are lazier than others,pray fervently that you don't fall into the hands of "Mr can't lift a finger ". Few are very domesticated too and those ones can be annoying too .

My papa does his laundry and enjoys cooking his noodles but the mess he leaves behind afterwards leaves us in tears .Letting him cook is a disaster, you can barely recognize the kitchen after he is done.
