Everybody should do chores whether you bring or not.

Almost 50% of homes in Nigeria have the woman both as provider and homemaker. And these are typically women who married under a traditional umbrella. undecided

2. A man doing chores IS NOT supporting the woman. Rather, he is doing his part in keeping the home and family that belongs to him, too. Thinking that doing chores amounts to supporting the woman amounts to arrogance and irresponsibility. undecided

1. This here is illogical reasoning on your part.

2. A woman in a traditional marriage setting is typically assigned the role of doing chores and taking care of house-related issues while the man sits as the sole provider in the marriage. Outside of the traditional marriage settings, these gender assigned roles disappear completely. undecided

3. When the same man was single and did all the same chores all by himself, was a mumu then too? undecided

4. Your mum may have lived as a glorified housekeeper in marriage; that doesn't mean all women or wives want to take after your mother. undecided

Technically, no! The traditional getup of marriage assumes there are set roles for the woman, and those roles include doing of chores. Women in those commitments are more or less glorified housemaids. It is the non-traditional marriages that reject the idea of gender roles, insisting instead on shared responsibilities between the man and woman. undecided
Okay na

"Do nothing"... you mean the man not washing plate, sweeping the floor and washing the toilet rite !

Any responsible woman cant stand watching the Man she sees as crown/king do all that,... as a wife does it add value when your friends visit and they meet your husband sweeping the compound ... does it give you pride

You give your husband plastic to go n grind pepper ... is that not ridiculing your man before the world

I believe in " Support" ... where necessary But Taking up the Wife role is an abberation. i will take this confused feminist seriously the day they start protesting Men carry their pregnancy tew
Aside washing plates, are there no other chores a man can help with around the house? There are some men who will never lift a finger to help their wives no matter how fagged out she is. A woman cannot be representing a man when it's time sort out PHCN wahala, put on the generator, change the bulbs, or weed around the home, then you still expect her to be sharing bills with you, cooking and washing for you. Did you marry a wife or a slave?

This is the particular brainwashing that are fed women to cause them to buy into this submission in marriage nonsense. How does a man, who moments before was a mere individual in the stream of individuals that populate the world, go from being a commoner to a king all because he decided to marry a wife? The same goes for women who think of themselves as queens. No be brain damage be that? 😏😏😏

2. This same man, who later signed a contract to marry a woman, used to grind his own pepper, wash his own underwear, and even scrub his own bathroom. Suddenly, the same man now believes himself beneath all of that because he saved up money to pay bride price for a woman to wife him. Na wa oo! undecided

1st n foremost Male are naturally "Heads" in any setting down to the animal kingdom

Literally every man that has a home n can provide is a king, traditionally Men symbolize " crown" on women

if i choose to see myself as a king and my woman see hersef as Queen ... its demonstrate self esteem/ self worth .. No apologises


When you are a Bachelor, your circumstances is understandable ... infact you see nosey neibor urging Uncle go marry ... maybe you live in jupita

Equality does not exist anywhere in real sense, one party is doing more or less if scaled

From vast experience, the only 'equitable' situation in marriage is a husband who provides all needs + wants with a wife who handles the domestics + childcare.

Any other arrangement puts the wife at a serious disadvantage.

You just look for the man worth getting the short end of the stick for.

If as a wife you want to co-provide so that your husband will join you in the domestics, na OYO be your case. You will build a lifestyle on both incomes and realize that bros is too 'big' to do domestics after a while and you can't complain much. A whole director is whinning her husband doesn't cook or clean? How na!

If I am to advise younger women, for peace, look for a man capable to provide singlehandedly all needs and some wants.

So that when you find yourself scrubbing pots or thinking up a meal or caring for a sick child by 2am on a work day, you book a luxurious spa massage and carry on.

And while at it, ensure you have YOUR own money else, that's another level of emotional gymnastics to deal with.

1. This has been found to be largely untrue as nature leaves it up to each species to decide for themselves how they would choose to be led, if at all. undecided

2. Again, this delusional idea you hold to comes from postulations from within your traditional/religious circles and have little or nothing to do with nature. undecided

3. If you choose a personal delusion, then it means that the delusion holds true ground only in your mind and not outside of it. undecided

4. Bachelorhood/Spinstresshood were never meant as placeholders for marriage; even organization in introduced into this world in that default mode and outside of the choice to engage in reproductive activities or whatever else, that default remains the default. That is why individuals do not lose their individuality even in these arrangements(marriage included). undecided

5. The law of the land recognizes equality of all individuals; therefore, it is false to assert that equality does not exist. undecided

Single/divorced/widowed mothers have been adequately and capably defending their homes in the absence of men in the picture. It is about time we start asking where this idea that it is men who defend families really comes from. undecided

chores like sweeping the balcony/backyard, chores like going to iya michael shop to grind pepper or add that chores you feel if your wife's friend meet you doing they wont ask where is your wife

Likewise there her women that wont do some chores tew in the house no matter how available they are, for instance my woman will never never wash the car even if e dirty pass Lagos, she wont carry gallon to go buy fuel for the generator... fix bulb lialia

So it not just peculiar, Men have certain roles in the houe same as Women .. however we can support one another when necessary

People are just lazy this days.
Days of hard labor is a thing of the past.
We don’t fetch water
We don’t fetch firewood
We don’t wash clothes with hands
There are blenders and other appliances that aides cooking.
A month meal can be prepared at once and packaged inside freezer.
We can even shop online.

When this generation of humans complains of house chores, I wonder exactly what they mean.
Some families we have 2 - 5 maids living with them with grown children.

Only recently, there was a story about such a single-married Nigerian woman, whose estranged husband, after squandering his wealth elsewhere, came back to claim property she had acquired during the years he was missing from the picture, as rightfully his too. If the woman had divorced him, he would not have had any such audacity, but because she remained married to him even in his absence—she kept and used his last name everywhere she went too—, he showed up with a lawyer demanding that he be allowed to use the property and assets to his benefit. grin

I was not able to verify the truth of that particular story, but it did cause me to consider the potential risk single-married women put themselves in by remaining tied up in marriage— a contract — to men who are literally absent from their lives and that of their children. undecided
