Coming from different backgrounds make us see things differently.

Let us assume she was wrong not to have taken the weight off the supposed mother-in-law while she was sweeping, the boyfriend could have given her a signal without the mum noticing.
And the mother too- Could have approached and corrected her with love aimed at getting her to help out.

To simply order her out afterwards showed how rude and intolerant she could/would be to any lady that marries her son.

Each one of them (Mum, son and girlfriend) needed to adjust. Making yourself approachable, patient with people, willingness to learn and ability to overlook certain things could make the three of them bond well enough.

You are right. Most ladies that are above 30, I notice they always feel so vindictive and highly paranoid about men.

I saw this post on Facebook and it makes me question myself asking what "Nigerian men want". It irks me so bad.

Women have been debased to NOTHING that a chore has become a yardstick in choosing a wife. I keep asking myself if God did not make a mistake to have given the headship to them from the beginning.

And now, I'll reiterate this here. I also don't care about the reactions it brings. It's not my business how you feel but I must say this to men- DO NOT SET UNNECESSARY STANDARDS THAT YOU WON'T MEET. Read that again. Would he have washed the girl's father's or mother's clothes if turns were switched? NO. Many men here won't either. It degrades them after all. ONLY women should cower and wash g-pee tanks because they want to marry. Marriage only favours the women after all. It's the women who do these things I blame. You don't rate yourselves.

If you try this with me, I'll FAIL your test woefully. It is the audacity to make this a post for me. They make marriage seem so unpalatable and dramatic.

Manners should tell you that you do not sweep when a guest is around. It is ABSOLUTELY rude and that shows that you do not even respect me enough to have kept your abode neat before my arrival. And that to me, is a RED FLAG!

It also tells me that "I am not welcome in your abode". I am immensely glad that the girl in the story dodged a bullet. Good riddance.

my opinion is based on the twit, normal normal in this part of the world we have our values. When you see an elderly one sweeping, even if she ain't gonna let you sweep, courtesy demand you show a geature of help to the elderly one. Even as a man if i go my in-laws house and i see mama sweeping i will always want to help. This is Africa for amadioha sake. Ancient African man never treated women as slaves.

Yup, definitely nauseating to want somebody's daughter whose bride price he's yet to pay to be playing housewife for him. Men like him who expect women to bend over backwards to prove themselves usually have nothing to offer. If he were trained (clearly he isn't), he was supposed to take that broom and do the sweeping, not expect his female guest to.

Had this been a male friend of his, I wonder if he would've ended their friendship because of this. Obviously not. But apparently different rules apply to female guests, smh. He will clearly be one of those husbands who can't boil water because those values weren't instilled in him as a male child, and/or who expect his wife to do all the chores in the house because apparently that's her duty.

Kudos to her for not being a pickemeisha with no self-worth.

Remember that she wasn't just female guest but his girlfriend/lover.

You aren't serious. Why must the house be swept when I am around? It's rude, simple! A guest for that matter!

When I was reading your write up I was praying it should worth the time I spent to read it but u later disappointed me …how can an elderly be working and you cannot assist in her own house fine you are a guest but you didn’t come to see her u came to see her son so it’s very rude you may be thinking from another aspect but from my aspect it’s wrong and yet again every body has their own view …if I visit your house now in not sure I’m going to have issues with your mom because she may not recommend me for the girls chores but I may have with your dad let’s say I see him carrying a ladder trying to fix something on the roof and I just walk out of the way for him to carry his ladder and go he may not send me out but what kind of example have I shown it shows I was not trained properly

What does subjecting someone to sweep a house has to do with this?
Is the topic not "men stop setting unecessary standards that you'll never meet"?
Or did I read wrongly?

Joke apart in the attached pics, my Mom will walk her out as well...
Culture is culture..

I can't go to the house of a girl I want to marry, and see her elderly parents sweeping, and sit to watch lipsrsealed It will speak volume of arrogance and poor home training as an African/ Igbo extraction.

Aside culture, her parents is like a mom and Dad to me as well..So I will sit and watch my Parents (Mom) sweep, I will sit and raise leg grin grin

My mama go wipe you that broom grin grin Trust a leo gang. grin grin grin

I'm surprised this is coming from a female on nairaland. I'm even more surprised this is coming from a Nigerian female. I thought you female always jump and support your fellow gender despite their stupidity and daftness.

The message on your comment should be directed to your fellow gender who created this post. Quote her and paste this comment of yours to her. Abi you dey fear her make she no go insult you? Stop being an hypocrite! Quote and tell her the truth

As an African showing respect to elders is part of wife materials . Get that to your head.

The Dumbo who made that statement is prolly a wh**re himself but deem it fit and cool to tell a woman what and what not to do.. grin

So you want to LovePeddler away your best years in the name of liberal woman and then expect a nice guy to come and marry the used and worn out body of such a girl when the body is saggy, lady bits stretched out? Hell no!!!!!!

Women have specs, men don't complain. When men set their specs, women complain. The reality is in the old days, if a man wanted a wife, he either married a woman ( NOTE married , not dated) or went to a prostitute in city centre. Now most modern girls offer what prostitutes offer and don't reserve anything a wife should for her husband. Feminism sold women a hoax of a lie. If you doubt me, name one thing you will offer your future husband that you did not give any of your ex boyfriends

So why wasn't the son sweeping? If truly what you say above is true, then the man should have collected the broom from his mother.
My mother taught me to collect broom from elders just like she taught me NOT TO GO TO SOMEONE's HOUSE TO SWEEP.
If the capability to do chores is what you black unthinking men use as criteria for selecting a spouse, no wonder you end up asking why your wife can't contribute to family affairs.
Excellent observation! undecided

I'm telling you, was arguing with my babe__ she said stupid girls like these are the minority (her words), I told her to come on nairaland....

With my age and status now, I still can't see an elderly man or woman doing a chore without offering to help, if they refuse I'll feel uncomfortable doing nothing while they work
