Unfortunately, this is Nigeria.

The thing about the whole house chores stuff is that the guy's Mother...you know,that woman who carried himin his womb for 9months,and suffered to bring him into the world...is using the chores stuff to assess if you can take good care of her precious little Junior

Just consider it an examination. Do it one time,and that is all.

We live in that kind of society. And when in Rome , do as the Romans do.

Remember...you need the mother on your side. Because if she isn't.....

(And all Nigerian mothers are like that...even the 'liberal' ones!)

(P.S As a man, I too know that is how my future wifey's mother is judging me...too. grin)

I'll buy her a car..and see her even do the dishes for me grin.
Be successful.. let money make the noise.
House chore my foot!

@bolded

That's wat the Op is trying to say. It's not pretense but prudence to know when you stand in front of kings and when in front of ordinary people.

You are a wise man....

I'm not offering to do any house chores, I'm not their maid. If they won't marry, they should forget it.
Lazy Nigerian youths see house chores as an herculean tasks. What's wrong with washing the dishes with your husband to be after the meal is ended? What house chores do you think would be possibly available at your visit?

stop falling your hand. Mopping is not only the thing listed under chores. When you go visiting, they may serve you drinks and his mum may offer to make you sth to eat, you don't mean to tell me you will sit in the sitting room like her royal highness when you know his mother wants to make a meal for you or you don't mean to say after you are done with the drink offered you you will still wait for whoever served you to come and clear the table. All those re chores too. Of course the house must have been cleaned before your arrival. If you stay the night over, you don't mean to tell me while everyone else is doing one or two things around the house, you will sit in one corner like Queen of Sheba and raise leg so that his mother will sweep under your feet.
Lol.... You are very funny

This hogwash doesn't work on some ladies.So stop trying to force your mentality on others. If you want your partner to do house chores let her know before hand and stop trying to use age to scare ladies who are not interested in doing that.It is optional for a lady to do chores not mandatory neither does it prove that one is a wife material.

It doesn't prove that one is a wife material, yet it's the littlest of thing you could do. Every mother wants the best for her child, no mother wants her son to marry someone who doesn't know how to do one or two house chores. Come on, this is Africa, Nigeria precisely, it just shows how well groomed the prospective bribe is. Don't give your future in-law the wrongest of impressions just at your first meeting.

No matter how rich I become, I will never have housemaids.
There is a level a mother-in-law would be that you wont even be able to imagine buying her a car.

No mother indeed so what is wrong if a son decides to do the chores.My own mother does not expect my brother's partner who came to visit to do chores for her.That one means nothing to her.
NAH it shows nothing.
Doing chores does not mean that one is well groomed.If you see nothing wrong then you should see nothing wrong of a guy decides to see the ladies family and he offers to do chores as well.I refuse to support this is Africa when it comes to something that seem backward that is how some ladies would pretend to do house chores and easily deceive people in the name of wife material.I do not plan on doing such if I ever decide to meet my partner's family I am a guest so they should treat me as one.
