I'm not really a parent per se but I have been in that position for a while. To be honest, it's no child's play. It is one of the toughest jobs for which you get no salary. Your head could get seriously messed up in a million different ways owing to the demands and pressure. I guess it's good that I'm learning.

innocent question? Eh, meet 2baba na

Pun intended I guess

U want another strong lady to be cooking for her husband? What is making her weak 2 days after delivery? I am a Doc and i know thats an embarassingly stupid excuse! What happened to employing a helper as part of preparation for the "challenges ahead"? The only problem here is the attitude of ladies of nowadays. Apparently the real women are long dead. Our grand mothers wer never like this.

Please note that our grandmothers were placed under special care at least 2-3months after putting to bed. Older women usually do the cooking and even bathe the new mother. I don't see what is embarrassing or stupid about still being weak 2days after delivery. As a 'doctor' you should know better. What if the woman in question had some vaginal tear? What if some sort of complications emerged? What if her system still requires rest? Have you thought of cs or the mistakes most medical practitioners make while attending to women in labour?Oga abeg no talk like that again. You are indirectly sending the wrong signal to men. Give your wife time to recover. Nine months no be beans. Nine solid months of trying to nurture a foetus, nine solid months of dos and don'ts, nine months of changes (you can't even lie down anyhow, trying to always sleep on your left side) Kudos to our mothers jare. I have come to appreciate my mother the more and I equally hail all mothers. E no easy. Na God's grace de do the work!

The sleepless nights I endured every night when my wife gave birth to our first child. It wasn't easy at all, remembering you will go to work next day .

Buying of Golden Morn,pampers, and stuffs. Most times, wifey just call and say "Please darling, on your way back buy bla bla bla. And those things might cost up to 5-8k. They don't even ask if you have money with you where yiu are. This one annoys me most but what can you do nah? God over everything shaa

Enduring the 'scattered' house as kids play around. Myself and wifey always arranging, putting things in their right places in the whole house. Thank God my kids are not destructive but they scatter things a lot. Usually happens when you have a Boy as first child.

Meanwhile in remembrance of Easter

so two days after delivery with cuts n vijay and being d first time cannot make some one weak. U must be a quack doctor. For ur information am not lazy. U must be a very wicked person to say it was a stupid excuse. So when d head of d house did not want a helper in the house, I should kill him? I still cooked d food, though stressful and painful. Am a strong woman compared to what u imagined. My advice to u is dis when ur daughter marry, let her pound yam for her husband immediately she put to bed so she won't be giving stupid excuses. lipsrsealed

Doctor, are you a male or female? If you're female, have you had any baby? Do you know how it feels to bring forth a child? Have you had or seen an episiotomy? Even without an Episiotomy, doing any work 2 days after delivery is rather harsh. Haba! Did you see your grandmother 2 days after delivery? Or you're speaking based on gist you were given. And oh! There are still real women. I am one of them.

Hmmm, I actually thought it was a teenager behind the moniker. Doctor, I'm sure if your type marries a white lady you will be making breakfast in bed for her even 6 months after childbirth. Anyways, it's your wife's headache to handle the situation the best way that she can but if I was the one in that lady's shoes, I will definitely cook tasteless meals for him to eat and in some cases he will definitely be eating enough pepper and salt in his meals.

Is your mother not alive? Honestly, you should have formed sick and gone to stay with her. Next time for intense weakness, let him truly know how weak yu AR by crying constantly, he will be tired of you and allow you go.

Any parent that hasn't see what u mentioned has not started. But comment highlighted that one na die.
My 4 year old is a master of destruction. None of his toys last more than a week. I buy toys like crazy. Just recently got him and ambulance and Truck am sure they wont last long.
To add to ur comment. Can't walk out the front door without my son crying and screaming to come with me. Wifey is jealous but it can become tiring especially if am rushing out to work or meet an appointment.

Same with me. My boy wants to always follow me to wherever I'm going.

Lol, very funny and a more considerate fellow will definitely shake the foundation of that marriage if and when she meets someone who treats her better.

Who does infidelity hurt most, the man or woman, I pity you. If you think you can treat your woman anyhow then threaten her with infidelity, then i suggest you check the DNA of all your kids because the devil tends to take advantage of women with emotional needs (unfortunately)

Simply cos u lack the intelligence to understand my statements does not make me any less a Doctor so just dnt waste ur time venting ur anger. I would have told u a lot but u dnt seem worthy of any human effort. Ur username says a lot abt u. U may actually be a disgrace to ur family. But u see, its not my business either.
