Same people shouting the guy was wrong will be pissed to be told they belong to the kitchen alone... my take is that the woman is still a young woman, by the time she gets to a certain age cooking go be all man to himself.

She's in charge of kitchen at least you need to tell her before you cook. It's just a respect.

I have 3 brothers who are married. I can only cook in one of my brothers’ home . It’s just the level of relationship. It doesn’t mean I’m not in good terms with them. I respect everyone’s boundaries

Mind you I didn’t just start living with them
And this is possibly the first time I’ll. Be cooking okra in her kitchen after several months of living with the family . What I cook often is noodles when I don’t like the family menu for the day


My dear wisdom is profitable to direct, you did nothing wrong though. But to save yourself some embarrassment and your dignity, don't try such again.
If you don't like the menu you can go out and eat thank God at least you can fend for yourself.

No matter how your brother's wife likes you she would feel some how. Yeah you can cook indomi or make pap nothing is wrong there but preparing soup in a married woman's house doesn't sound OK.

Another good way is you decide to surprise them and prepare the soup for everyone to eat your delicacy just to spicing up the love in the family.

Just use wisdom and try to give her some space and also make her feel she is in charge of her home. Women love this alot.

Las Las you get your apartment in no time. cheers.

Lol , ur brothers house ? This 8z the problem women always have - in.your mind it is not his wife's house - that's why when husband dies , his family.will deacemd and start struggling for property with the wife and his legitimate children. Your brothers house is not your house
Learn to respect the wife in the home - it is her house . Later some people will be calling women wicked when they don't want their husbands family around - this is the kind of disregard they always have for the wife in her own house .

Would she have done the same way to her male sibling ? I guess no and I’ve been living with them for several months

Ogbeni stop shifting the goal post and give us the full story. Did you at least clear the dishes and the cooking area after cooking or left it there for her to clean up for you. Gas is at least N700/kg, do you top up their gas from time to time? There's nothing wrong in cooking in your siblings house but if they're on a tight budget, a simple eba and okra meal might thwart their plans for the week or month. I wish the wife was here was here to give us her own part of the story

I’m not being funny but women born after 1990 should not have this stupid olden day mentality of the “kitchen belongs to me only”. It’s weird and stupid. The Kitchen does not belong to the wife of the house, if someone is hungry and they want to cook, let them cook. If someone wants to bath will they ask for permission before using the bathroom?

Na entitlement mentality go kill many Nigerians.
We are quick to form woke when it comes to issues like this. But even the Westerners who have been woke before us would not allow any relative to visit without permission not to talk of staying with them and not working.
Is the OP working?
Why would he intrude into another person's space? The kitchen and bedroom are two territorial places in a house any other person should be careful with.

Na so we dey use hand spoil things.
You are staying with your brother who is married. The wife allows you to cook noodles because these are emergency foods you can eat just like snacks.
But then, you wake up one day say na Okra soup and Eba you want cook eat.
It is not like they don't give you the food they eat or they give you different food from the one they eat. They give you the same but according to you, the wife allows you to cook noodles whenever you don't like what was cooked.
You were given a privilege and you abused it.
If your sister-in-law had discouraged her husband from allowing you stay with them, we wouldn't be reading this rubbish.

You people make your sister-in-laws look bad because of your entitlement mentality. Tomorrow now, you will host your friends and cook for them in your brother's house.

Na una type dey collect properties when una brother die. Potatoes wer they plant for one place but dey spread go everywhere.

You're very lucky you're not my brother. This is one of the reasons people don't allow their relatives and partner's relatives to stay with them.
Nigerians abuse privileges a lot.

It is not wrong to cook in your own brother’s house. Some women just over do things. Before she came into the picture, you were there.
Please,ignore her.
Re: Is It Wrong To Cook In My Married Brother's House? by Ladycewhy(f): 11:11am On Nov 10, 2021
They asked the op valid questions but he has refused to answer.


Did you buy the ingredients yourself or you used the one in her kitchen?

Did you clean up after cooking ?

Did you cook for just yourself or the entire family?

When you were coming to the house,what did you bring just your bag or you bought bread and chin chin ?

Sometimes we only see the other person's reaction and not our actions that triggered it . Op answer these questions genuinely and you might just get the answer you seek.

How long have you been with this family? What is your relationship like with your brother's wife?

But then, what kind of hunger will make you enter another man/woman's kitchen to make okro soup and eba? This is beyond hunger abeg.

What is wrong with Eba and Okra. No be food, same with Indomie?

Anyway, I don't support cohabiting with people at all sef, talk more of married couple.
Find house OP.

You must take permission to cook in another woman's kitchen always!!! It is disrespectful not to do so.
She is the woman of the house and has been joined with your brother. Respect her space please and let there be peace. Thank you

Noted!

He should also go and sleep on his brother's matrimonial bed and use the connecting bathroom.

Infact, let's drop all mentality, he can also share his brother's wife.

Inasmuch as I don't do favors to vaginarians, I won't cover an injustice on them. You did wrong by cooking that kind of food in your brother's wife's kitchen. That's disrespectful and depicts her as not being able to cook well or as not taking care of her household's need. The kitchen is her turf and you should respect that. Cooking indomie and egg and maybe some other fast foods is okay but preparing eba and okra soup in a married woman's kitchen especially when she is not your wife is not ideal to say the least.

You cook okra soup for only yourself or for the entire household? undecided

Did you also purchase your own ingredients or did you use groceries already in the house to do this? undecided

Is your brother an extremely rich man or does his house also operate on a food budget like most homes do? undecided

And lastly, did you at least clean up after yourself or did you expect that his wife will clean up for you? undecided

The way I see it, there isn't nothing wrong with cooking even if in a friend's house. However, there could be everything wrong with how you do it. undecided

Let me tell you her gross. Non of those things you mentioned their is her reason for being angry.

Women have this feel or belief that kitchen is exclusively theirs. That is out of bound to even their husband. They will be craving for gender equality but feels bad Wen a man enters ''their'' kitchen to cook.

Someone here said that you trespassed. I hope you know the meaning. It's a tortuous act. It's punishable in law.... hahahaha.

The kitchen belongs to your brother's wife. You can only use it at her permission. I hate to open my wife's pot.

You hate to open your wife's pot?

Wow.

I open my wife's pot without blinking an eye whenever I'm hungry.


It's not every time that I'll ask or expect her to give me food.

Most times, I'll be discussing with her in the sitting room and boom, I'm in the kitchen taking food to eat.

There's nothing there.

Is my kitchen.

Is my husband house.

Is my house so long I am married to your brother.

Some of you don’t know what these siblings have been through.
How they live in their home before you got married to the dude.

Make God catch you,your mother in law intervene and start hating you.You will now start accusing the devil wrongly.

Some of the advisers above are still single looking for a man to call their own.

Every mallam with his kettle.

It’s well…
this your point of view is very simplistic ! Dude is calling the house " my brothers house " - already is a problem ' a big problem .
These are the kind of brothers that will be struggling for their brothers property with his wife and kids.

You have done all wrong , no matter how rich she is or educated , in the African context you have broken into her kitchen , without her permission it’s not allowed , even amongst women , it’s a thing of trust , except permitted do not do such it’s seen as treachery, she knows how she has rationed her food stock and poisoning a full family starts from the kitchen or around, she’s accountable for her kitchen and keeping it clean , so as what ever comes out of it , it’s so bad that some woman don’t let their husbands or sons into the kitchen,
1, their body de hot when them de cook they are under pressure and heat , them fit use hot oil teach you lesson quietly self
2, it disorganises them
3, it’s dangerous accidents occur
4 , for safety reasons strangers and visitors in their kitchen due to African wickedness could drop harmful substances in the pot
5 , some woman frown at opening their pots
6 ,you are a guest , forget your brother only when she loves you as an inlaw she would permit you in
OK the part she said if na indomie she no go vex u no see am
