If giving birth is the natural responsibility of the woman.. Y is it that providing for the family is not the man's natural responsibility and if it is why the "What re u bringing to the table?"

Whose name do the children bear? undecided
Whose descendants are they?
Whose lineage do they keep alive? 🙄

If a woman bore 5 sons for her husband, and her own father had no son, will her husband give up one of the sons to her father?
Will her father demand to have at least one of the sons of his daughter bear his own name?

So yes! They're more your children than hers.

When it comes to divorce you won't bring up this argument so that the government will give the children to the man since he owns them grin

You only argue for the man when it suits your selfish agender grin when it comes to financial responsibility that's only when the man owns the children grin

Any Husband that is asking the wife for what she's bringing to the table isn't yet matured for a marriage, This is the 14th year that I got married to my wife and for the fact that I have been footing 100 percent of the bills till date, I have never for a day asked my wife for what she's bringing to the table, for the facts that we have somany responsibilities, I aways encourage her in the past that things will get better with time but we thank God Almighty that he has blessed our marriage with everything in life.


That you don't don't mean others who will isn't matured for marriage.

Why do people always think what they do in their private life should be the standard life practices? Everyone has the power of thought process and life isn't in just one direction but multidirectional.

Providing 200 percent doesn't make you better than the man that both spouses contribute to the finances of the home.

Brati, nothing against motherhood. But the OP coming to tell us stories of how they sliced someone's abdomen open blah blah blah is bunkum for me. I've seen soldiers brought from the battle field, operated on without anesthesia in bone wrenching pain. So all that talk of abdomen sliced open is waffling

It hurts that it is fellow men who are enablers of this idea women have in their head that they are superior to men and that every of their interaction with men is them doing us a favor. Little wonder a 21 year old girl without job, skill or career will be giving lofty conditions before getting into a relationship with a man. It is also the reason why a woman who doesn't have up to 100k in her account will open her mouth to tell her husband who has been footing her bills for years that she stooped low to marry him?

It is funny that right from time men roles have not changed. Men are meant to provide and protect but for women it is always changing. Like someone mentioned up there, enough is not said of the life threatening conditions men exposed themselves to on a daily basis to put food on the table. Also, currently, there are men in the North East battling terrorists and if war breaks out today, women will be prioritized as usual. This is men performing their age long roles without blackmailing anybody but today's women wants a man who can provide for them and protect them, in addition be a babysitter, a laundry man, an errand boy, a chef, and now they want men to help them in carrying pregnancy and in giving birth? Tell me, what sacrifice can be greater than men fighting and dying to keep everyone else alive, including women? I mean within same military and police where men die by their dozens everyday, there are women, too, but most are in air-conditioned offices or at worst, they get posted to a MDA where there is little or no risk to their lives.

I think at this point men like Op need to slow down on the women worshipping. If women are not creating threads upon threads celebrating the sacrifices of our gallant men in the battle field (even as two policeman just died yesterday in Imo state); if women are not creating threads upon threads celebrating multiple father's day in a year; if women aren't taking up men's matter like false rape accusation and paternity fraud as much as men usually do when there is a news of rape; if women worshippers is the only thing we have and not men worshippers. Don't you guys stop to think you are now in overdrive mode?

A couple of days back, my wife put to bed using CS. Initially we had a baby before, I a know how complicated and painful the pregnancy and childbirth was.

Now I was in the theatre during the CS and I saw first hand how someone's abdomen was sliced open and the baby pulled out. I also saw how doctors were putting their hands into someone's abdomen and how they finally stitched her up. It wasn't an easy sight to behold. Right now, she's recovering, but the pain she's passing through is much.

To me, this is the highest form of sacrifice that someone can give for the family.

So to the men and husband out there..... before you ask your wife to be "what she is bringing to table", kindly think about the sacrifice they make in bringing your children to the world.
Additionally taking care of the baby after birth till he/she can walk ain't easy coupled with other house chores

I only heard of this word for the first time within the last one year.

In order words husbands who don't give their wish push gifts are either not capable or reasonable grin

This is how it's starts and it becomes a norm in the society, women will start putting unreasonable pressure on their spouses to provide them with gifts their spouses can't financially provide.

Not giving your wives push gifts has nothing to do with men been reasonable and capable. Ask long as you are there at all times for your family as a man you are reasonable and capable.

Will you die if you spoil your woman every once in a while? And what better time is there for you to spoil her? Abeg shift if you have nothing to say.

And BTW, yes. If you've never gotten your woman a gift for putting her life on the threshold to birth your child, you're either financially incapable or just generally an unreasonable person. None of which is a bad thing.

Like dude are you ok? Is a man supposed to give birth before? Does he have a womb? Oga there's nothing like SACRIFICE for something that's supposed to be natural. It is natural for a woman to give birth whether through CS or other means.

Which kind SIMP you be ?

Do you know what it takes for a man to go out there hustle and make money to take care of his family? What sacrifice could be more than that? Are these things not supposed to be naturally? Oga take this post down ASAP!

it's obvious most women have nothing to offer so they try to make a big deal of basic natural processes a normal healthy female is supposed to go through.

If she doesn't give birth, who will...who gains more actually because it's on record that women love their children unconditional compared to their conditional love for other things

Gifting push or no push and any name you may call it has nothing to do with been reasonable and capable. Been reasonable and capable has everything to do with standing for your family in good and in bad times irrespective of wether you have money to buy so called push gifts that to you makes one capable and reasonable.

The guy is obviously pussy-whipped.

He's simply implying that his mother made a "sacrifice" by giving birth to him (her biological responsibility), but his father was practically nothing but a figurehead in his family.


These are the type of kids that exalt their deadbeat mothers, while neglecting the father that denied himself of worldly pleasures to ensure that they become successful.

People don't notice men's struggles, efforts and sacrifices because they're physically strong, hide their emotions and hardly complain.

▪️Men hide their pains because the society expect them to always stay strong.

▪️Men hardly complain or show emotions because the society expect them to be a "Man".

▪️Women carry the pregnancy in their belly, while the husbands carry the pregnancy in their head.

▪️Men spend more than half of their lives protecting and providing for wife and children.

▪️Men's lifespan is shorter than that of women.

▪️Men are the backbone of every nation.

•Respect your man.
•Give him peace of mind.
•Care for him.
•Treat him like a king.
• Men are not scum.
•Without men the world will collapse.

God bless every responsible man and father out there including myself.
It's not easy but God is the supplier of our strength.

The truth is that the women themselves do not know who they are, what they are, where they should to be. There no sacrifice,success a man has that can be compared to one child birth. They the women showcase themself to men for mockery, as pet,intimacy gadgets hence the high level of disrespect. I always tell my wife whenever she trie to praise me for supporting the home that no amount to support from me can equal her birthing these children.
