If you think a woman giving birth is "sacrifice", then I believe there must be a new meaning to the word "sacrifice" undecided...

I am not trying to downplay the severities surrounding pregnancy, however, it's no news that women are biologically wired to give birth undecided...

So a woman giving birth is just her fulfilling her biological role, nothing much undecided...


You also forgot that a woman can choose not to give birth?

If giving birth was that natural... women will naturally give birth like they do menstrual periods... no control or choice

The baby is not only my child, they are OUR CHILDREN, they want the kids as bad as we want them

Whose name do the children bear? undecided
Whose descendants are they?
Whose lineage do they keep alive? πŸ™„

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.

the sacrifice they make in bringing your children to the world.

You will explain when the court give custody to her, when the baby see the mother alone as sole parent, you will be alive when she will tell u straight up, they are her children, she birthed them, so not your children.

The phrase what are you brining to the table .. ha grossly been misunderstood, some men that even ask the question don't even know why they are asking the question, while on the other hand some women fly into a fit of rage or keep dodging the question, why they are angry they don't even know, its just a psychological impulse,

first of all it is not mandatory for the lady to actually bring finance into the mix but it helps so that should not be the centre of the question, so the men asking and referring to finance really shouldn't do that, focus on what she is supposed to bring

.. its not her job to bring finance, so if you are referring to that you are asking the wrong contextual question, a lady actually has what she should bring to the table, but sadly not a lot of ladies have taken their time to sit down and think about the question, because the are always offended or defensive, its just a simple question, that you need to understand, its not you mdfkn job to bring finance, that is what the man should bring to the table,

what the lady brings to the table is .. ranges from
great values
Emotional Intelligence
Attention to Detail
Organizational Skills
Nurture and Care
Empathy and Compassion
Collaborative Spirit
Multitasking Abilities
Intuition
Social Skills
Diplomacy

when you list these features and tell the man you posses these traits
now it s your turn to ask him
what does he bring to the table
...
he should have most of these below
finance
protection
security
Leadership
Decision-Making Skills
Stability
Emotional Support
Problem-Solving Abilities
Initiative
Adaptability
Sense of Humor
Integrity
Shared Responsibilities

marriage or relationship is team effort, not competition
the next time i hear that question in the wrong context i fit flog person cool grin
Another simp thinking he is in a position to interpret what do you bring to the table to other men. If you have a working wife kindly tell us what she does with her finances since she is not supposed to bring finances. Then if you have a jobless wife kindly come and tell us what she will do if you sleep and don't wake up the next morning? Will she go and look for another man that will bring finances? Will your children be hungry while she is looking for the financing man? A woman should be happy when they ask her to be responsible. It is for her own good.

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.

Good questions, but haven't you seen women fight over custody of the children, if she knows they are his, why fight over them?
Why not allow him take d kids with no quarrel?

Well as we speak so to say, my wife tooks my kids away from me. I have NEVER laid a finger on her

Haven't you seen women who get pregnant just to secure her future why not hand them over to the father as you said they bear his name

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.

Men are heavily pregnant with worry and responsibility every day and night in their mind, heart and soul. Do you know what it's like to be blamed for anything bad that goes wrong in the family. A woman can go scot freee of blame, if things go south, but a man, society will ask him question. He is not meant to have a break or off or period leave to his situation, he is to break, over come and produce no matter what or else, even his family will blame him and ask questions.

If you see a woman sitting out side on a Monday morning, every one will assume she is fine. Let a man try it, people will ask don't you have work.

Men die much faster than women becos of thinking, hidding emotion, taking risk to make it, sleepless night of worry,, watching over family to protect and provide.


Our pregnancy is every day of our lives.

Even Godd gave eve a single punishment, painful pregnancy and gave men a even tougher punishment...that ALL THE REST OF HIS LIFE he will till the tough ground for reward. Even though no be him cause the wahala in the first placee grin

What do I bring to the table as a man?? Mvthafvka in Nigeria, men own the damn table along with every damn bill on it including the CS bill! It's apparent that this is your first child. By the second issue when the bills have started piling up and opportunity cost has tinted your eyes with red dye, the only sacrifice you will have time to notice will be in your pocket! Just so you know, zithromax & augmentin are now closer in price to N25k than the N4k it used to be last year!

Going by what you said, it's by nature that men should provide for his family, it's not a sacrifice, it's what he's supposed to do. It's his responsibility alone

Not to contradict you. But the children still belong to the women. It’s a sacrifice they made for their future. They will still be the one to use the children to their advantage as much as they wish.

My only gain is the continuity of my family name. And that’s if I am lucky the kids are mine.

It’s the pain they bear for them selves.

Are the Children not hers to? Or was it ONLY SPERM that brings forth the Children.

Both parties brings forth the child and they must Both take care of the child FINANCIALLY as well. It is irresponsible of A lady to think child bearing is a sacrifice. Sacrifices for who?


What you so is what you reap- If Childbearing is a Sacrifice then the THRUSTING AND THE RELEASE OF QUALITY SPEARM BY THE MAN IS a GIGANTIC SACRIFICE TOO.

Oga, you are promoting PROSTITUTION IN DISGUISE or IGNORANTLY.

I don't blame them na, it's the ladies that get stupidly overly excited once marriage is being proposed to them not knowing they will be making the most sacrifice.....I rather lose millions of my money than go through that pain
Is it the sperm alone that makes a baby?

Think and talk as a well raised girl please.

Prostitution in Marriage stem's from this
IRRESPONSIBLE thought of some ladies seeing Childbearing as what you as lady should only brings to the table .

So the Man should be the sole provider and you the lady would still want to be refered to as MAMA PIKIN STILL?

Na foolish Guy they marry a lady who shows this mentality because at last the Guy would be the looser as the lady would become a WIDOW on top him head at 45years of age!!

Embittered b*st*rds who rave about things they have no clue about because they think it's only contributing their sperm that makes them fathers. I pity your mothers, sisters, and wives who think they birthed good sons, brothers or husbands but will suffer the wrath of the misogynistic views propagated on Nairaland by you lot.
