Ngokafor: Lol, Naa that's not what I mean. I'm talking about the scenario here and that is to be expecting a thank you after dishing out food for someone I see every day of my life. Well it is courtesy to say so but it's not the world's biggest problem either. It's just not that serious, but very petty . My persona does not care whether you say thank you to me after a meal or whether you greet me or not. That's just me. I do say thank you to people because it's courtesy but if you don't say thank you to me, it will not bother me. That's just my character. I will not take it to heart if my husband forgets to say thank you after every meal. |

jaybee3:Bros calm down we are saying the same thing. As a woman I love my man to compliment me, yes it feels good to know that my man appreciates my effort. But it's wrong to tell him to always thank me for doing my duty. I should even pat him on d Back for eating and enjoying it, some men dnt even eat their woman's food. But that's a story for another day 9 Likes |

njokusboy: Maybe favor might not be the perfect word to use here, but I was coming from an angle that wanted to know which culture tells you not to say thank you after a meal because the poster highlighted culture as his reasons. Is it Igbo culture, Hausa culture or Tiv culture? Some things we summarily attribute to culture is actually one's family upbringing. There is no way someone gives me something and I won't automatically say thank you. I believe that's a thing of upbringing not culture. 1 Like |

I don't like it when a spouse is arrogant and a bully irrespective of whether is the man or the wife, whatever we share in marriage should not be compulsive. If it is a must that you should greet him for taking her time to cook which ordinarily should be her obligation with pride, who greets you for taking your own time to source the income for the upkeep of the family. Abeg, me I no dey for this wife bully thing. 4 Likes |

Go and learn basic courtesy. You say thanks for any favor received, whether you paid for it or not. Thank you to the fuel station attendant thank you to that waitress thank you to the car washer man etc. Learn to say thank you. 9 Likes |

Dera25:Lolzzz.... She should be d one thanking u for even eating her meal. Always know that in this section, women will always support their own, making an issue out of this bespeaks your wife is up to something, for u to open a thread on account of this shows it's somewhat serious, just watch her closely, b4 she turns u into a cook.... Men of this generation sha.... It's her duty for christ sake, so u should also tank her for breastfeeding ur baby... ROTFL......... 5 Likes |

@Op be careful, marriage issues are sensitive and you have to do the needful to keep your home at peace, as you know what works for my own home may not be applicable to your home. I'm a married man like you, I live up to my expectations to the best of my ability and I expect nothing less than that from my wife too. Should we start thanking ourselves every dime time we perform our duty as expected? No. If yes, I wonder how many thank you each of us will be receiving daily. Whenever I pay my kids school fees, give my her money for shopping, give her money to buy food stuff, etc I should be expecting thank you, isn't it? They are my duties and I must do them without expecting thank you. I am supposed to take care of my family without expecting well done from anyone because I'm not doing anybody a favour. I don't know why people are complaining when there's virtually nothing to complain about. #mythought 7 Likes 1 Share |

Nonsense + ingredients . Which kain yeye Oyinbo life wey no dey pay at the end we dey practice so. @ OP, you deserve a thank you from her, anytime you devour her cooked meals with nothing left. If you refuse eating her food, no be beg she go dey beg later later The moment she persisetently ask for thank u after every meal from you, I think she does not deserve a verbal thank you anylonger, the only thank you she should get , is you licking and lapping up the food with no trace on the plate 1 Like |

Dera25: No, my husband doesn't say a hearty thank you after eating,he says it occasionally and I appreciate when he does but I have never and will never demand a thank you from him for cooking or serving his meal. It's not a big deal . For your wife to attach so much importance to this,I see bigger issues here I am also certain she is very demanding in other areas This almost sounds insane,a woman demanding a thank you for cooking? There is nothing I won't hear. In case you are wondering,this is not normal o, have never heard this sort of thing ever in my life up till this moment and I have heard a lot of stories,this your situation is quite rare. You must be walking on egg shells around the woman What other rules and regulations has she given you? If she can be this militant at home, I feel sorry for any subordinates she may have at the workplace 21 Likes 2 Shares |
Re: Wife Insisted I Greet Her After She Have Given Me Food by Nobody: 3:29am On May 01, 2015 |
Its just simple manners,and a way to acknowledge her I grew up watching everyone say a big thank you to whoever prepared and served the meal,from daddy to kids. Its not a big deal to me,however if she grew up with this.as a huge part of her life its easy to understand that she may feel unappreciated for all the effort she put into cooking and serving. I wonder if you'll die if you say thanks darling for the wonderful food.It would also encourage the kids to say thank you as well..there's no harm in it and it's not asking for too much in my opinion. If she's insisting,it means a huge deal to her..You can choose to indulge her or keep quarrelling. Say thanks and with time her ears won't be seeking it out because she already knows you appreciate her without plenty words.Blow her a kiss and she will be satisfied.Rub your tummy and give her a thumbs up and you will see her smile.

It's simple courtesy to say "thank you" but for a wife to demand it like her life depends on it, so much that she's ready to fight about it, is totally unheard of. 2 Likes |

Im surprised at some of these comments. So its now a "favour" for a woman to cook for her husband? I guess its also a "favour" that he paid her bride price, put her in HIS home rent-free, gives her money for food stuffs and other things, makes love to her, contributes to taking care of their kids (if they have any). Well, Mrs Entitled needs to also start thanking him for every big and little thing he does for her too! She insists on the greeting. Lol. If you dont "greet" her nko? What will she do about it...pack out and go back to her parents house where she'll be greeted well for carrying out the chores? Feminism, ego and unnecessary entitlement is slowly killing family life 16 Likes 2 Shares |
