Failure, a wife cooking for her husband is no favour.... she is just being a wife...

Op, tell ur wife thank you after eating her delicious meal, not because, she has done you a favour, but because you appreciate her... it's courtesy...
Nd she shouldn't insist on it as though it's a right, does she thank you when you give her money for the food?
If she's the one that brings money nko, you'd not only have to thank her, you'd also need to kiss her feet lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

It's courtesy and I believe a wife should say thank you each time she is given anything by her husband. I do undecided

Mandatory ? ! Hell no. Some women will look at you in a strange if you even say ' Thank you' after each meal. Some African women are even embarrassed to hear it from their husband. In all my years growing up at home, I've never heard my dad say thank you After meals. On the contrary, he will bark that the plates should be removed. However, my mom cooks the food, but does not serve it. The maid serves it.

I am sure most Igbo wives can relate to this. Many Igbo men still live like Okonkwo in " Things fall apart". Very few say thank you to their wives after serving them food. Many wives feel uncomfortable to even hear that 'thank you' that they don't really know how to respond.

I don't think many African men say thank you to their wives for cooking for them. It is not expected. You can always thank your wife in many other ways.

It is MANDATORY to tell your wife "Thank You", and if you forget to thank her, do apologize if she reminds you. The fact that you were not raised with that orientation does not mean it was right. You should learn the simple habits of courtesy, and make sure you pass that to your kids. My wife even makes me say thank you to the domestic staff when they present me anything and she also makes me add "Please" when asking anyone for anything. I accept these corrections and I have realized that life is more pleasant at home when I use more "Thank you" and "Please".

My wife says I should be greeting her each time I finish eating, if not for anything but for the sake that she take her time prepare the food and serve me. She says that she deserves a greeting from me.

I said okay, just that it is not part of our culture and I don't think I will be keep up greeting her each time she gives me food.

It is not that greeting her will reduce anything from me but the issue is that I don't usually remember this greeting after eating because it is not part of me, although I do greet sometimes for peace to reign, but the way she reminds me of this greeting of a thing gets me angry, as if it is mandatory or something to the extent that sometimes we've had issues because of it.

So daddies and mummies in the house, do you greet your wife after she has given you food? Or do your husband greet you after eating? If yes is it a mandate or just for fun?

Please let me remind you that this is not the issue of been a breadwinner or not. I beg you to forgive my long story and wrong grammer for I am not a grammerian.

Thanks in advance.
He's not compelled to,neither do I expect an appreciation every time I give hime a good meal. But whenever it comes from him,I acknowledge it.

If you'd learnt the art of thanking her after those delicious meals she wouldn't have been incessantly reminding you...angry

For those of you finding it hard getting back to the real world before making unrealistic comments, pay attention to the text in bold.

That there is the point of this whole thread.


****
I honestly don't know how and when it became a favour for a woman to cook a meal for her husband, food that she'll also eat...
Saying or not saying thank you should not even be a topic that causes disagreement...eishhhhh.

Damn, I learn new things on NL daily gringrin

Are you married If not, pls change your attitude before you do. And if you are, then still try to change ur attitude if you are genuinely after the happiness of your wife.

I learnt this from my parents to say thank you for every kind gesture in marriage. Say it always to appreciate Our Creator for choosing a beautiful woman amongst the hundreds of millions of women to be your life partner.

I think saying thank you isn't a big deal even if it skip your mind sometimes simply tell her sorry dear it skip mind. It's because you don't appreciate her in the first place that's why she's demanding for it. So please learn to appreciate all the way.

I don't understand. Many people kept saying he should be thanking his wife after serving her meals.

Did she always knelt down before serving you the food?

Did she always say thank you after u've provided funds for the food? When u know its ur duty as the head of the home.

Is your wife now saying she is doing you a favor cooking food for you and the whole family?

See, it is normal for her to cook food for the home. Everyone with their duty.

Op, I smell that your wife has gotten a new friend that is pushing her.

If you say thank you, fine. If you do not, she shouldn't hold you for it.

Thanks for your unsolicited words of wisdom Mr/Mrs marriage counsellor, but you shouldn't be bothered about my life when you haven't solved all your own problems.

Come on man, behave yourself

For EVERY meal your wife cooks for you - you MUST thank her.

Is this an issue we have to even discuss? Goodness.

Rubbish question. Is it mandatory for you to thank GOD for keeping you alive?

Anyone who gives you food is a god.

If it is so easy, eat your money.

I feel odd when I don't say thanks to GOD after eating then peek my girlfriend ( now ex) after eating.
