Why don't you help him sometimes?
In my own opinion, you're worse than those children. It is your type that will rather take photos of a dying person than actually saving them.

It's not Idoma thing, Most Idoma men are proud men, they hardly do house chores. In fact in Agatu, it's a taboo for a man to pound. Some of their men are usually lazy so this man is exceptional. It's possible he enjoys house chores while raising idiots. Go to markurdi, most of their women will be plaiting hair, selling all manner to feed okpani while he will be busy gisting. Your landlord is different but he also failed in raising sound kids.

Biggers82:
Idoma people always use their wife as Kola nuts for thier visitors just ask that your Landlord maybe he is not the biological father of those Children. Check well ok and if I will advice you ehh you better pack out of that house before you start washing pants for his daughters I know you like Pusssy too much

'Train a child in the way ohe/she would go, and when they are old, they won't depart from it'


I hope some of our digital Nairaland parents learn from this..

you must be an educationist. Are you?

Men like that are the problems of this country.

Beat them up for? All this beat beat mentality.

90% of Nigerian guys/men won’t last upto 1 year in America or Europe before being thrown into prisons. Y’all have a very fvcked up mentality about every sphere of your life.

There is this scenerio i usually observe with my landlord and his children which always makes me curious and also raises unanswered question within me. This prompt me to post this here.

My landlord is idoma by tribe and has six grown up children, three boys and three girls. He should be in his late fifties or early sixties. Here is the issue.

This man despite having grown up boys and girls always do his chores by himself while the children will be lazying around engaging in trivial discussions. This man will wash his clothes by himself while his girls, the youngest being twenty years of age will be chatting with friends in the compound. This man will go to fetch water with kegs using a wheel barrow every morning while the boys will sit outside doing nothing.

Meanwhile the water he fetches is used by every member of the house. This man can go up to three to four trips while the boys will be busy arguing about Manchester United and Chelsea with friends.

What baffles me the most is that they see nothing wrong in this because the man doesn't complain and his wife, their mother is also witnessing everything.

My question now is, is this an acceptable norm in their (Idoma) culture? For a father to be doing the house chores while the children will be playing. I'm asking because where I come from, it is unacceptable.

crackland:
And his wife, mother to the irresponsible children, is witnessing all of this and not saying anything.

If a woman does not have any regard for her husband, it will be foolhardy to expect the children to have any regard for their father.

The problem is almost certainly coming from his wife.

AFONAMARO:


I weep for comments like this. You mean he should go do chores for a man with 6 irresponsible fools so he could be taken serious?

I bet you go around looking for people to assist with chores in your vicinity.

Father Christmas!

Everybody here had been saying upbringing, is the man suppose to be home training the kids


i blame their mother for it

redsun:
Children don't always have to be their parents' slaves. In a normal world, there won't need to fetch water from outside and it is the adult's responsibilities to make sure the basics are in place.

However, if the children are adults, they should go and fend for themselves. But it is easier said than done in a society where nothing works. Someone needs to break the yoke of inherent backwardness.

Plead:


African parents usually mistake their children for slaves.

Wisest post on this thread so far.

So all the children sleep and face the same direction.. Not even one of them have sympathy for the father.....

The type of training children received while growing up matters a lot....
