jnrbayano:

Maid is a househelp that earns a leaving from performing the tasks assigned to her by her master/mistress

She is always on a servant capacity.

A househelp is someone that assists the home, have a general compensation package and treated often as a member of the household. She can be a relation, a friends child etc

Anyhow you see it, I believe I have explained my action.

Once again, maid is not a derogatory word. Even a servant is not derogatory too. Some folks can call her a househelp and look at her with disdain while others will call her a maid and treat her with respect.

No wonder some Nigerians crucify Tonto Dike whenever she calls that girl "her maid".

Op, would have loved to see your topic read: Is it right when the wife washes her husband's and children's clothes?

jmoore: It is wrong!! It is a crime against humanity!! The woman should also not cook for her husband, she is not a cook but an equal partner.
grin grin
Op, how old are you?

Best response!! Me thinks people are taking this civilisation a tad too far.

Very soon, they will ask if its right for a wife to sleep with her hubby.

Until people stop seeing marriage as a business deal but partnership, we will keep entertaining these kinda questions.

If you love your husband, washing his clothes and cleaning up after him will come to you naturally, no one forces anyone to wash clothes.

I will take care of my baby in every way possible. I will wash his clothes, his shorts, his hankies. I will make him meals which name, he cant even pronounce.


And...he will take care of me, spoil me too in his own way.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a wife doing the laundry for her husband. This does not make her a servant.

"Some". honestly i just couldn't understand so many debates from some extreme feminist trying to equate marriage, there is never equality in marriage it's not a theory... it's a way of life. most ladies of this generation comes up with so many ambiguous questions about what a lady's right is etc.. the whole thing is sounding like there is a revolution against Norm and Men. imagine a question like this thread.. it's funny really.

And it's unbelievable, this could be coming from a man. well maybe a teenager anyway... undecided

The woman should not be made to give birth. Subjecting her to bondage for 9 months is very wicked.

When they told me they had a ganja market in Nairaland.Me no believe.

Yet this thread was created by a male and majority of females before you answered it was ok to do hubby's laundry hence my question.

My sister, it is not a matter of if she wants. It is her responsibility. If she likes, she may cede it to a washer man.

Since u think u av too much to handle, don't u equally think that ur man needs a second wife to reduce ur load of responsibilities. Will that solve the problem?

I am now beginning to know why the rise in divorce cases.

When she cedes it to the washer man she does not want to. The end point is clean clothes. Washer man, washing machine,washing wife. Whatever will work for her.

Instead of solving the problem he brings home another wife, what if the new wife does not like washing his clothes what then?

Husbands wash their wives' clothes too.
So no there nothing wrong with the wife washing her husband's clothes too.

and while the wife is doing all these, the husband would be asleep, right?

The way some women describe the role of the woman ehn, one would think the man is useless in the home.

How about you give us a list of what men do without exaggeration? That'll be nice....

Look how bitter you sound over how a stranger chose to run her home. She even seems happy sef n while you're all squeezed up... #justsaying


Not all households must operate the same way.

Stephenem: I have seen marriages in which wives wash their husbands' clothes regularly. This makes me wonder if that's right. In my humble opinion, I feel that it's unfair when the wife is the one who washes for her husband. A wife is not a servant, but an equal partner. Anyway, I may be wrong. So let's hear from you, is it right for a husband to give his wife his clothes to wash? Bless you?

@ bolded, wives and husbands are equal partners however, clothes must be washed when there is no washing machine grin tongue.

There is nothing wrong for a wife to wash her husbands' clothes and vice versa. The person readily available should do it.

I guess you are coming from giving wife clothes to wash... hmmm

It depends on the dynamics of the home

1. Thinking, providing, strategizing (landlord wahala, bills, Generator, electric stuffs, plumbing works, relocation plans, etc) & financial planning

2. Laundry

3. Risk taking (CEOs earn millions/billions for simply taking risks, while entry level workers earn averagely for working tirelessly).
Armed Robbers target CEOs and husbands.

4. Cooking

5. S E X: eja. culating does in fact cause a loss of what the Chinese Taoists call chi. Chi is the life force energy that gives us our passionate nature in life-passion for everything we do. Imagine a man depositing his life force energy 4, 5, 6 rounds times per night; and the woman just lie there laughing, grinning and speaking in foreign languages (I call it unexplainable excitement).

6. Comforting

7. Et Cetera.

8. Not applicable to all men smiley
Re: Is It Right When The Wife Washes Her Husband's Clothes? by GreyBlood: 9:41pm On Aug 14, 2014
I wonder whether nairaland is a surreal world because in a typical Nigerian environment, wives wash their husbands' clothes and even do more. So all the people saying "she can wash if she deems it fit to" are not being real, unless they are not in Nigeria.

However, about the issue of washing machine and laundry men; may I remind you that not every family uses these options, unless you are talking about the above average and educated families who reside in the cities.
