My younger brother is a good cook; can cook beans, yam, make eba and stew. The only problem is that he puts grounded pepper in his stew grin. My mum made sure she never treated him any differently while growing up and this has helped him to be a sensible and considerate young man.

At the bolded, I do the same thing when I cook stew too. Anything wrong with that? it taste good and saves time pounding pepper bulbs.

@op, this topic is so on point. I have always supported this. By God's grace, my daughters will learn to wash cars, change tyre and do boyish things. My son will also sweep, wash and cook.

All this knowledge will definitely come in handy later in life. It irritates me when guys look for girlfriends just for the purpose of doing domestic chores. Girls should also learn to change bulbs start generators e.t.c

I grew up among five sisters and i happened to be one of the youngest . Back then, if i am not in kitchen while my elder sisters were cooking i am in trouble. They will say who is ur child that will cook for yyou ... Today, the experience is a great advantage for me because i can handle any domestic works including cooking.

author=Kachisbarbie post=27563433]It's very important...its
importance can't be over-emphasised

I wouldn't blame our parents much - they were brought up in an era where
(it was a wont that) women were naturally associated with the
kitchen(housework) and men with hustle(bread-winning)

___Women were expected to be very servile to the man having little/no
major plans of her own...now it's a modern age and they(parents : some
of them) had a way of imparting this in us(the younger generation).

I think it's now left to us, to make sure our sons, don't adopt such
attitude. Nothing beats a man who comes in handy
_financially/s winkxually/educationally and in the kitchen too grin


___while we were growing
-I didn't know how to wash beans/bitterleaf properly but my elder bro
was an expert...lol... to mention a few.

I believe a child should have balanced training. While a male child should be domestic, a female child should know certain things about a car and electrical appliances

I advise every male child out there to learn domestic chores. I am presently in a situation that I cant even make a coffee for myself at the moment, not because I dont want to, but because I am very lazy when it comes to domestic chores. I regret not learning. Its not all the time a man should ask for assistance, some times a man needs a moment alone yet this laziness pushes the Jezebels into their dreams and fantasies at my expense.

A problem? is it that you don't eat peppery stew and like having the option of choosing when to eat your pepper or is it that the whole concept of ground pepper in stew feels weird to you?

That's why I love my girl like mad. If you turn to a truck she'll drive you.

I had to caution her not to change spare tyre anymore, that any man around will help her do it.

She even jump starts a car kiss

I learnt how to do a lot of domestic work while I was growing up..if you will agree with me,mothers are only concerned about their girl-child being domestically inclined. They teach their girl-child probably because they feel knowing or doing domestic work is meant for just the female..

I personally don't agree to the fact that domestic work is meant for only the female..I think mothers should also teach their boy-child domestic work too..if you can teach your girl how to sweep,clean,cook,do the dishes and laundry then your boy should also learn that as well..it goes a long way..

The importance of the boy-child being domestically inclined is that when he grows up,he stands on his own.That knowledge helps him take care of his personal needs not to go about looking for someone to do it for him..this is my opinion...
I absolutely concur to this...some people do call me "olo wo sibi" in yoruba,lol.Ladies respect a man who can readily take care of himself and others.

If you have money, hire a cook.

If not, eat at buka as long as its safe to do so.

Its not my business if some man somewhere does or doesn't know how to cook or do house chores.

I'm the 1st of four boys and my mother really taught us a lot about doing almost all domestic chores. We learnt not to depend on our mother to labour herself on some chores we could assist her with. Sometimes, I and my brother shared and rotated the work among ourselves and we really enjoyed competing with one another. Grooming a male child domestically will not only benefit his parents but also his prospective family. Girls are not born with special abilities to do these things. They are taught to do it. Boys too can learn to do them.

Men will always be men. If you like teach them till thy kingdom come, it will come a time when he would dump all those stuff and start frequenting restaurants. House chores and cooking are really tiring for most men. When I mean tiring, I mean tiring.

For instance, my mum trained me quite well in that aspect. I can cook virtually everything. But right now I only boil noodles and I'm good to go. No time for all those pounding and turning of pots. Very few men retain their cooking skills as they grow because naturally they would prefer not to cook, especially ones that require time and extra care. They are just not that organized and focused as women and therefore cooking is really a hardwork for them.

If you have to force your boys to learn to cook, prepare to buy countless pots and make sure you have a fire extinguisher ready somewhere.

I guess you have never heard of male chefs.

It sounds alien to me cos of how I was brought up. Well with a family filled with boys as the majority its bad to leave the work for the girls. My dad was even a good cook and u dare not be in your room or living Room when he is cooking. This has shaped me. where by I don't need a woman to cook for me or go to an eatery before I eat a good meal. And that's how is suppose to be. now there seems to be a shift. Its like girls do less or nothing while guys do more chores. Can't tolerate that!!!

Its good to train your son to do chores. But don't let it be one sided. A guy is always adventurous. If because your parents did it this way to u. And u do it the otherr way round to him. U could bring up a monster. just make him have that feel that he is suppose to do it. But don't over do things.

Do whatever you want with you children, they are yours, stop worrying about others and things you can't control, in fact if you want don't teach anything to your girl ooo in revenge of what you went through, I only hope when people realize she's not a marriage material, you won't curse her or start prayer sessions

Why are people still dragging this irrelivant issue in 21st century? I heard this story when I was a day old, xx yrs after, the story is still repeated as if its never being heard. Let me educate you, if a boy is domestically inclined, that doesn't mean he's gonna help his wife(ves) in kitchen. Far from it!
Helping in kitchen is a thing of choice, a person who has never being in kitchen can still help his wife(ves). Knowing how to cook and do house chores only makes you independent of female gender.
The best cooks in the world are male, if they weren't thought to cook, who did? Enough of trying to make men look sober over matters that do not exist. There are a lot of spoilt women out there who cannot cook and do house chores, if there are differences btw number of males that can cook and do house chores, it can only be marginal. angry
