Consider my input an excellent exception to your derived assumptions "based on my gender posts on Nairaland".

I no dey post based on some wannabe ideology, I cook for my female friends, sisters, Aunts and anywhere I come to be so chanced to do so, even though, I'm "equipped with limited skills".

The position should be a sweet-smiling no for the wife. I no want make OP reason much cos, that woman no deserve am at all.

@bold, that would have been the ideal thing but I highly doubt it.

Ask me how I know. I know from reading the things you guys post on here. Any expectation that a man should take on domestic responsibility is vehemently condemned as emasculating. It’s considered a woke western ideology that will kill the soul of the family to have a man contribute domestically in his own home he claims to love

I didn’t make up those situations in my head. It’s the things you guys type here that provided information for such conclusions.

cassyrooy:
Okwu ihuru extra responsibility and care, she still won't take up any.

Her primary duty is to care for my family, since I couldn't negotiate for same with my mother, she too by her own precedents can't as well.

It's the equaliser effects. Cos if she had taken in her mother in-law, op would have assumed some more domestic responsibilities to ensure there's enough cushion on her, now she wants to stress baba. Make kitipa blind op if him simp on this matter.

She has other siblings, let them care for their mom, money no be problem, op will provide.

What a narcissistic and inconsiderate level of self entitlement? Bia op, thunder is pressing up already to devour you if you don't strike back. Imagine someone who threw your mom out until her death, let her mom die too the world will not end.

Yet the same men go about marrying girls with no job and catering for their every needs.
And those girls stay without jobs permanently? Or you marry them when they are really young so obviously haven’t built a career yet maybe provide for a few years while they build a career. But anything more than that she’s a liability bla bla bla.
Remember the slogan his money is our money but my money is my money , sounds familiar? Can u pls tell me the gender that cooked up this slogan and the reason for doing that?
a joke that has no real place in today’s society. If you doubt me ask your fellow me what they think of a dependent wife. Don’t ask me. Create a thread and ask them. That’s if you’re ready for the truth.

How many Nigerian ladies are stable, how many if them do not use relationships as a means of livelihood. A typical Nigerian boyfriend not even husband will subscribe for his girlfriend, fill her gas, buy her soap and cream, buy her clothes, buy her foodstuffs, and even buy pad for her. Now imagine the load husbands carry. If they had jobs would they be leeching on men. Let a typical Nigeria man go broke, he will realize the true color of his wife, or girlfriend. You know what am saying is true, u can't deny this.
only on nairaland. In real life, Nigerian women are out there in the streets with the men hustling for daily living like everyone else even in pregnancy and childbirth.

Many female nairalanders like EriNma has created threads on how they can't marry broke guys. They only desire rich guys to leech on. What they failed to mention what how much they would be bringing to the table. They believe in the African notion of males being the sole providers with females being the sole spender of males money. A broke girl desires a rich man, what does that tell you? It means she wants a man who will cater for her every needs.

Are you sure I am still the one lying?
Rich men are few and far between. So while that may be a desire for some people, it’s not a reality for you guys. In reality the hundreds of millions Nigerians living in poverty every single day have wives. I don’t know what to tell you if this simple FACTUAL STATEMENT is confounding you.

Okay use your data analysis expertise to explain why men are doing everything to run away from caring for their aging parents.
Now you’re mentioning maids, some have mentioned caregivers. And obviously the rest of you want your wives to do it. This thing you’re taking for granted that everyone else but you will be available to do it.

Why aren’t you doing it yourselves?

And tell me with your expertise in data analytics how what you’ve said disproves my point about men always shifting the care labor to females around them.
Quickly

Mrbllymer:
cos if you are know a thing about data analysis you wouldn’t have made your last statement.

There are so many homes where maids practically do everything ranging from cooking , cleaning etc.
you are just all over the place in trying to say something meaningful. Stick to Op’s context.

The way she cooks up invalid assumptions and throws out valid assumptions is baffling.

It is more founded that men are financial providers than women nurse their husbands sick relatives.
Okay then correct my wrong assumptions.

If you think you’re right and I’m wrong, please create a thread today or tomorrow and ask your fellow guys how they feel about marrying a woman with no job and have to provide financially for her for the rest of her life. We won’t even talk about him providing for her family. That’s out of the question.

Read the responses you will and tell me again who’s being sentimental. I don’t know what you gain from lying to yourselves. You hate and insult women who depend on you. And you don’t hide it. In response women today are more than represented in the work force and still have to be the main caregivers at home.

Something’s gotta give. Deal with it or don’t. But it’s true

shantti:
What kind of sentimentalism is this.
Where is your so called founded facts. The same so called founded facts didn't project men as financial providers right? We are talking about a clime where men automatically becomes responsible for catering for his in-laws cos he married their daughter. I guess your so called founded facts was forged by a woman.

Ma, pls u r the biased one here. Stop what u are doing. What the hell is this. Is it cos it is your fellow woman. My own reasonings are mere assumptions while yours are well founded facts. Right?

I hate arguing with sentimental people

Mrbllymer:
an assumption doesn’t mean she does! We both working with assumptions doesn’t make your points more valid.
My assumptions are based on facts. Facts that are being proven right as we speak. I’ve been asking the men who are quoting me how they intend to care for their aging parents and none of them has been able to confirm that they are actually working on learning the necessary skills. Some say caregivers while the rest resort to insults when they feel cornered by the question. Tell me again that my assumption about them leaving those tasks to women is wrong. My inference is drawn from a completely logical premise. If I’m wrong y’all please tell me how many of you are actually hands on care givers. I’m waiting.


Lmao, I repeat men are majorly the financial provider in many homes in Nigeria. Ain’t saying women don’t contribute though. Some are even fond of saying “your money is our money and my money is my money” keep deceiving yourself , ITS THE TRUTH.
not in today’s economy. Keep lying to yourself


Lmao do you know anything about data analytics ? If you do you wouldn’t have made that last statements.
A condescending quip that doesn’t actually add to the conversation. What’s your basis for assuming I don’t know data analytics? And if I didn’t, so what?
Does it Change the fact that you guys leave care giving to the women or sometimes pay for it? Or that women in current economic Nigeria are expected to bring financial contributions as well? If you’re so sure, ask your fellow dudes on here what they think of women who depend on them.

But you’re not really ready for the true conversation

What is the correlation between this reply and my response to you. Nothing. Stop typing words to sound woke nne

How could you accuse me of what you are solely guilty of; comprehension. This is very ironic. You know that it also the USUAL expectation that the man will fund the medical bill should he let his mother in law stay in this house. Why didn't you factor in this. Can u show this this you so called stat. You now understand why I labeled u as being emotional.

From the story, we can only infer that he changed location after his wife said no. It says nothing about The caregiver, The caregiver could already had been nursing the woman at the op's house.Moreover, why can't his wife replicate the same thing. She should pay someone to look after her mother in another house. undecided


But you proved us right nah. It's not our fault. You could have changed the narrative by trying to the logical after reading this story, u could have called a spade a spade, but no, u started cooking up assumptions to favor your fellow wicked female gender that caused someone to die, typical of u females with the f monicker 🙄🙄
You’re making assumptions that he’s going to pay for his MILs health care costs but projecting that onto me. While I’m making an observation founded on facts that the woman is usually expected to be the care provider. I guess I can’t expect a non biased perspective from you.

I don’t take people seriously who use woke like it’s an insult. It’s giving you don’t know what you’re talking about. Just heard the word woke and decided that’s the new insult to latch onto. You don’t even know what it means

I think you didn’t read the whole story where he said he’s financially buoyant, that alone should give you a perspective or narrative that he’s taking good care of the home and not dependent on the lady’s earning.
that’s not to say she doesn’t work.

In this 21st century men mostly take care of the home in regards to provision(financially) , not saying women don’t contribute especially in this country.
wrong
What stops her from allowing her mum stay with her siblings and with your assumption, then she can be sending money to her siblings to take care of her ?
a great option that I think she should explore

I can categorically tell you in Nigeria today, 50:50 is a dream and doesn’t happen in 90% of Nigerian home.

You can put through a survey on nairaland to ascertain this claim.
Categorically is false.
An NL survey is a sample of biased test subjects. Not a dependable sample set

You keep disgracing yourself everytime you comment here thinking you re being woke.You can never call a spade a spade. Always trying to blame men even when it's clear that the ops wife is at fault. I don't need all you manipulative bitches to come take care of my parents. Care givers are doing it already.
Why can’t you do it?
Why caregivers? Are you hands broken? Are you too slow to learn how to do it? What’s the barrier that’s stopping you from doing it?

That’s literally the point I’m making. Y’all think the job of caring for your loved ones are beneath you. I’m actually embarrassed for you. You’ll do anything to get out of being responsible loving children to your parents. Some of you marry so you can have wives that will care for your parents. When that’s not available you use caregivers if you can afford it.

Because of the assumption that as men you’re too good for it. Imagine having kids like that. Poor old parents

On the contrary, you are being emotional and sentimental cos a woman is involved, and those guys u quoted are being logical.
I get it. They are men and I’m a woman. So obviously. Biologically they are logical and I’m emotional grin

Just as biologically I’m supposed to meet your mom today and develop the same level of love for her that I have for my mom who sacrificed all her life for me. Very logical


Why and how did you arrive at the conclusion that the op's wife will be the one to cater and nurse his mum.
I said that’s USUALLY the expectation. Not my personal conclusion. Comprehension is key. OP should feel free to correct that if it doesn’t apply in his case. But based on stats, women are the ones expected to do the caregiving. It’s based on facts. So tell me where my emotion is coming from. 🤨
Did the op said anything like that. Remember he paid someone to look after his mum in a different house. Does that not tell you that he is buoyant enough to employ a caregiver for his mom in his house
he paid for someone after his wife said no. Your point?

Why did you cook up an assumption that will favour the op's wife. Why. Yet you accuse logically reasoning people of being emotional when you are actually the one guilty of it. Why do u women do this. Can u tell me?
Start by telling me why some of you don’t reason past the f behind a moniker? The moment you see f, that means the person is being emotional and all the Ms are being logical. If you know anything about logic you will know that it’s not gender based. But you don’t. You assign logic by gender. Literally defeating the meaning of it

Are you being serious ? Can her mother die for him ?
A house he pays the rent or built ? A house he provided for , a woman he paid her dowry ?
So it’s just to send her out ?
ah I see we are operating with the outdated assumption that he’s the sole provider. Do you people not live in the real world where men and women are present in the workforce in almost 50:50 ratios?

She can as well pay rent or built a house for her, provide for her needs and take care of her as she wants and not bring her to my “HOUSE” since it’s not also my duty to take care of another woman who’s not my mum.
Again with the financial assumptions. Ask the OP if his wife is financially dependent on him.
This argument fails every time because most of you have never and will never be sole providers

If that was the issue then the wife should have communicated that to the husband so they can make a better adjustment and frankly what the wife did was Terrible, there are folks that take care of others who aren't even remotely related yet she can't even do an ounce of it yet expect a better treatment to her own mum, just selfish and hypocritical.
They get paid for it.
That’s another angle you don’t see. Lots of care workers won’t do it for free because it’s not an easy job. Why the magical expectation that your wives should be excited to do it?

If she’s expecting her husband to be the one to care for her mom, then that’s hypocritical. But we know that in both cases she’s the automatic caregiver by default.

so who will be taking care of the mother of the lady. If the husband eventually allows the woman to come over.

Or will it automatically become less work for the lady?
No it will not automatically be less work for the lady.
It requires a lot of sacrifice. Someone else’s sacrifice is not something you just expect from them as if you’re entitled to it. You’re not entitled to her sacrificing herself to care for your mom. She can do it herself if she wants to but it’s not something she owes you.

Why are you expecting her mom and your mom to have the same level of priority in her life? Her mom can die for her. Can your mom die for her?

Because I'm busy going out there to make sure I'm providing for my family.
We are assuming your wife is not expected to work outside the home correct? You’re providing EVERY SINGLE THING she wants hence she’s expected to hold the fort at home? In that case no problem.

Mind you this isn’t about you specifically. So generally speaking the women who are expected to be at the beck and call of the man and his family are also usually expected not to be dependent financially otherwise they are liabilities. So if you want to speak logically, ask yourself how is that supposed to work out smoothly. Just food for thought

Sounds like a you problem. If you love someone. Taking care of the thing they value most the world shouldn't be an issue. If you see this as manipulation then I don't what to say to you.
No it does actually sound like a you problem. If you love someone so dearly, you wouldn’t pawn them off on someone else to care for. Sounds like you expect her to love your parent more than you do. People without spouses still find a way to work and provide and still care for their loved ones. Seems like you’re going to use “I’m providing” as an excuse to pass your responsibility onto someone else. Because you’re the first person to ever hold a job 🙄. Ask yourself how others are doing it maybe you’ll learn a thing or two.

I work and I love my parents. I won’t quit my job to care for my parents and I won’t pass it onto my spouse either. If you pay me I might be willing to teach you how to be a provider and also a present caring family member

If she said she can't take of of his mom but d mom can stay, I am pretty sure the OP would have gotten a help for her.
I’d like to think so too but truth is that he would have probably been here making a thread about how his wife refused to care for his sick mom. And of course all the males on NL will gather to call her an evil wife. Did you see that thread sometime ago where a dude made a thread about how his wife made salty food for his sick mom and they told him she killed the mom by salt poisoning? The expectation put on the wives are usually too much so I know what I’m saying.

She just didn't want that woman at all. You really think loneliness didn't contribute to his mom's death?
yes I do think loneliness affected her unfortunately. Mind you I’m not saying she did right by refusing to accept the mom in law. I was just pointing out the reason why she probably did it. A big valid reason that often gets overlooked. Just as it’s being overlooked in my comments now. When you guys agree with me that you need to be more hands on in caring for you aging parents instead of putting it on your wives, maybe you would get closer to a solution.

You might think u have figured out your life today, but u might very well fall in the shoes of that guy's mom tomorrow.

There is nothing she can use to justify her Mom staying.

But don't let's waste our breathe here, d OP was a mumu once, he will still mumu d second time n allow her mom stay in d name of "peace." D manipulation of d vast majority of our naija girls...I can't cope n I refuse to participate.
I’m glad you have refused to participate in those so called “manipulations”. That means you are actively preparing to be the best son to your parents when they get older. What have you done to prepare yourself and to make sure you’re learning the basics of how to be a caring son?

Have you learned how to change a bed with a sick person is laying in it? Have you learned how to give bed baths? Have you learned how to provide bathroom relief to incontinent adults while maintaining their dignity? Many illnesses come with dietary restrictions. Have you or are you learning how to make low fat, low sodium, low sugar meals to help recuperation? What exactly are you doing to prepare yourself?

These are things that are magically expected of women while the man gripes about providing even though he’s married to someone who helps him provide as well.

Most of you expect too much but don’t realize it. And most times you’ve gotten what you expected that’s why you take it for granted. Not realizing how much work goes into it.
