iInjureHerYansh:I’ve quoted you. I’m waiting for the strike. |
Wonderful cassyrooy: |
@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: |
shantti: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.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: |
shantti:Again with the caregivers |
iInjureHerYansh:look at your username |
shantti:Okay then correct my wrong assumptions. how are you preparing to care for your older relatives (parents) as they get older and possibly ill. What steps are you taking today as of now to prepare yourself? |
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: |
Mrbllymer: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 |
Rinoxy:I’m asking you to prepare to care for your parents. How’s that connected to who I’m going to marry? You in particular, how are you preparing to care for your parents? That’s my question. |
Justbehave:Okay. Sorry I misunderstood that part. |
Justbehave:I’m not asking about the ladies. I thought you meant the kids are not with you. Did I misunderstand that? |
XTHRONE:true |
shantti: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 |
Mrbllymer: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.Categorically is false. An NL survey is a sample of biased test subjects. Not a dependable sample set |
![]() pocohantas: |
Justbehave:I’m glad that’s working out for you. I think men who agree with you should explore this option more often. If you don’t mind me asking, why are they not with you? Does it have something to do with your ability to care for them outside of putting money on the table (which anyone can do BTW) |
Amumaigwe:That’s a perfectly fine option. OPs wife should consider that |
XTHRONE:okay. Lol |
Justbehave: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 |
shantti:I get it. They are men and I’m a woman. So obviously. Biologically they are logical and I’m emotional ![]() 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 househe 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 |
Justbehave:I hope you’re putting your ducks in a row. Learning how to care for your mom and dad instead of hoping that after insulting women on the internet, you’ll then marry one and expect them to do it for you |
Rinoxy:That’s why you should prepare now and learn how to care for your own parents instead of hoping that one day you’ll marry someone who will do it for you. |
Mrbllymer: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 |
All emotions. No logic kellyaa: Rinoxy: XTHRONE: |
Ultimatesammie: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. |
soles21: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? A little thinking please |
STINEKPROJECTS1:What are you doing right now to learn how to care for your parents? |
soles21: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 |
Samantha124:I’d bet that’s the expectation but he can correct me if I’m wrong |
ThatCEO: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.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. |
