During weekends,its very okay as he'd be less busy and could always assist. Not all men would anyway,it takes a caring man to know that no little help rendered won't be appreciated. Just like the way,women are different,same goes for men. Thats why couples who are newly wedded need time to adjust to eachother because their ways are so distinct from eachother. |

Old School Niggas dont do shiit but make dough and fhuck. No well raised African Woman would be happy to see her husband sweeping the house or doing dishes. Instead, she would get a housegirl. |

We all complain about house chores becos we can complain, y not ask yr spouse to com share in your work-place-chore or in carrying pregnancy and delivery. Marry someone who loves you unconditionally, he will go to the moon for you. There is no chore my husband doesnt do when he is around, I ve had breakfast in bed severally, at a time, he washed our clothes, with two kids ohh, when the laundry man stopped coming before we got a washing machine, becos of his sacrifice that period, I dont allow him wash ordinary hanky now, he doesnt even still know how to operate the machine after six years. Some of his cookin taste better than mine and I have to sweet talk him to make them, but I help with slicing, blending, rinsing, etc if need be. All am trying to say is, do to him as you would want him to do to you and there would be no need complaining. 7 Likes |

fijiano202: not all is abt low self-esteem,u are right abt fear though..every housewife wanna look young so that her husband wont call her fat or ugly,i have a close aunt who once complain abt her husband lack of action in the Bedroom,that made her feel unwanted and ugly....As a lady am sure u understand that men are born with lust but we learn to control it but some cant....what i dont really understand abt we men are how we may be dating ladies like omotola and yvonne nelson but end up lusting after ladies like enjema Emperess i.e ugly ladies@ bolded,indeed baffling! But i do not judge such cases. Sometimes even the woman is to blame,other times both parties carry the blame. True talk. Most women aim to retain youthful appearance. It does not help matters that the man is not restrained by age,and most men undergo mid-life crises. Its a crazy world out there. But i do not advice women to let go of their appearance after child birth. Try your best to look good always,not smelling of fried fish when the man comes home. At least,u'll always know u did ur best if he decides to mess up. 1 Like |

A man thinks it is the woman's sole duty to do house chores and doesn't give a helping hand. The woman does all her chores without complaining. The ones she can't do, she employes someone to help her do it(she is the one paying the help). Month end, she pockets all her salary and also thinks it is the man's sole duty to be financially responsible to the family. The man now starts complaining and saying the wife is selfish and does she not know that marriage is a partnership? If you guys can't agree on how to help each other, then let the individual responsibilities be spelt out clearly and let it be followed strictly. Ask a man to help you with chores, he says it is your God given responsibilities. Ask him for money, he ask how you have been taking care of yourself(financially) before marriage. And some women can so deceive themselves. You that use to go to the man's house to do his chores before you guys got married (you were working that time too) and you were not complaining, why complaining now? Abeg just continue in your ministry o. It is so surprising to see men that are not Christians but are quick to quote scriptures about wife submitting to the husband and about the husband is the head of the family. Please if you don't believe in the totality of the bible, stop quoting some part to favor yourselves jare. Better you stick to the ''it is our culture'' things o. As for me, if a man is not ready to help me even after i have communicated enough i will just leave him and do my best. If i decide to share in the financial responsibilities, it will be because of my child(ren). And anything that will not benefit me and/or my children, i will just face my work. 9 Likes 1 Share |

If your really love your wife you dont wait for her to ask for help, you will see yourself doing it willingly. They say there is love in sharing, it is the wife's responsibility to take care of the house but these days you can never see a full housewife, becuase of the economic situation the women tend to help out in the family, some are circularly employed some are self employed trying to help out financially in the home which you will all agree with me. Most are doing very well in their business and providing for thr family even more than the men, some of the men spend their money in beer parlours while the woman cater for everything in the house. They wake up 4am clean the house, prepare the children for school plus prepare the husband for work and prepare herself for work too- gets to the office her desk is already pilled up with files she need to work on, as she is working on the files she is thinking of what the family will have for dinner, she leaves the office around 5pm straight to the market, leaves the market around 6pm with the traffic on the road gets home enters the kitchen to cook while the man watches tv, she serves dinner, help the children with their home work, prepare the children and her husband for bed, heads back to the kitchen to clean up, maybe washes some dishes and clothes that night, goes to bed around 11pm while the man is already snooring. Some women their time table is even more than that. WILL YOU HONESTLY TELL ME THAT THE MAN IS LOVING? 7 Likes |

P.S..it is not in all cases that lack of love for their wives is reason for not helping out with house chores.Some are simply not wired for house chores...Female relatives did everything for them growing up.Paid domestic,laundryman and Restaurant did for them when they had jobs and became independent..so why would one suddenly expect them to become chefs and bathroom-scrubbing husbands when they get married?..Think about it. 2 Likes |

unearthed: Dnt blame him. Many men are like him. There are many men who will marry smply because they are tired of bachelorhood. They say they are tired of cooking and cleaning all by themselves therefore they need a wife. Even an uncle of mine remarried when he lost his wife in death simply because he needed someone to cook and clean for him as his daughters are all married. you could see with the way he relates with her that Love is not the motivating reason for the marriage. If a man has that kind of mentality while single, will you blame his wife for complainng that he doesnt help out in the home? Many men see that word 'Wife' to be 'Glorified cook and cleaner'. Housemaid even. Its left for ladies to ask men who are interested in them on why they want to get married. Their answers usually reveal their intentions. No man who will take his wife as his partner and best friend would reason like this. 1 Like |

Re: What To Do When Your Husband Won’t Help With House Chores by Nobody: 10:38am On Jul 11, 2014 |
Ngokafor: I totally agree with you on the bolded. some men are like that because they were not trained to do chores by their mothers. A man who was trained to do chores right from a young age would see absolutely nothing wrong in helping out wth the chores. If he had always had househelps all his life, it would be impossble for him to ever try at all. So if a lady notices this about a man while single, she shouldnt expect him to help out after marriage. The only thing she can do is hire a househelp/get washing machine, dish washer and others that would ease the burden. These the husband would have to provide for her. People who have these do not ever see chores as a problem. 1 Like |

I still dont understand why people take Chores as a big deal...if u grew up with discipline parents or went to a boarding school,you would understand that washing plates,toilet and sweeping aint hard...even though i grew up doing some of this stuff i noticed that anytime my gf is around i feel reluctant to do,like its her duty which is very bad so we always share the chores...she cook i sweep,she sweeps i do the cleaning,she washes the toilet i wash the bathroom...Simple 2 Likes |
