Exactly, why would i overly pretend to be what i'm not or do house chores to impress anybody, be yourself so that after marriage, they wont say you were desperate.
sweeping and mopping are not the only things listed u de chores. If you go see his parents and they serve you drinks and food, will you still wait for his mother to come and clear the table for you? If you stay over night or a few days, will you raise your legs for his mother to come and sweep u see your feet in the morning while you press your phone or watch TV?

I'm not offering to do any house chores, I'm not their maid. If they won't marry, they should forget it.

Unfortunately, this is Nigeria.

The thing about the whole house chores stuff is that the guy's Mother...you know,that woman who carried himin his womb for 9months,and suffered to bring him into the world...is using the chores stuff to assess if you can take good care of her precious little Junior

Just consider it an examination. Do it one time,and that is all.

We live in that kind of society. And when in Rome , do as the Romans do.

Remember...you need the mother on your side. Because if she isn't.....

(And all Nigerian mothers are like that...even the 'liberal' ones!)

(P.S As a man, I too know that is how my future wifey's mother is judging me...too. grin)

I can decide to join in the house chores if I'm sleeping over but if I came for a day visit, I will sure as hell glue my ass in the seat, I'm not a pretender.

I can see that u are still a young girl... Wait until u are 31 and still unmarried, u will even wash their gate.
This hogwash doesn't work on some ladies.So stop trying to force your mentality on others. If you want your partner to do house chores let her know before hand and stop trying to use age to scare ladies who are not interested in doing that.It is optional for a lady to do chores not mandatory neither does it prove that one is a wife material.

lol.. o think the OP meant chores at the moment not chores that ought to have been done before you arrived. Of course the house must have been cleaned before you arrived as they wouldn't want a new person to come and meet the house dirty and as such chores arr meant to be done first thing in the morning. If you meet a dirty house, lol. Don't eat whatever is served abeg. Not even unopened bottled drinks cos rats must have pissed on it and one infested rag used to lust wipe only the dust. grin

Dear lowPEAK, your supposed fiancee might not know the extent of your damaged or toxic character because she is blinded by love but certainly not her parents. They are not in love with you thus, they see clearly and may make better judgement.
Never depend on your fiancee's approval of your character alone but yourself's and your conscience. Your conscience will never lie to you. They will tell you if only you will listen.

What are you driving at again Chief.??

What are you even saying and what is my own sole opinion....
??


You are of the opinion that i should showcase good habits when meeting with my wife's parents and i am of the opinion that good habits are wonderful but one must possess one that is born of his innerself and not a subject of pretense and false representation....


Read again from the beginning and stop your blind judgment of my character...

so you are the right person to approve of my character and not my Fiancee. ??

I refuse to be a fake companion, i must represent my true self and give room for flexibility when need arises..

So to help your husband's parents around the home is now a maid's work?

@bolded

That's wat the Op is trying to say. It's not pretense but prudence to know when you stand in front of kings and when in front of ordinary people.

I think it depends on the setting u meet. There’s nothing wrong with lending a hand or being useful.

There is only one thing that comes to mind and the thing is, only ten rules to make almighty God happy, only 9 rules to make your partner's parents happy, only 3 rules to make a man happy. But to make a woman happy or fall in love or to woo her, you will start seeing 20 things to do to make your babe happy, 30 steps involved in wooing a woman, 50 steps to follow to make a girl fall in love with u etc what da hellll sef, why is it that its a woman more than anything else that is more likely to make a man suffer, more likely to kill a man through high bp and frustration and food poisoning, women are more likely to make a man poor than anything else. All because she has a veginer between her legs? I refuse jor. Brothels dey, mastubatioon dey, even sexx doll dey, nija ladies, go and find someone else to kill or frustrate, not me

Dearie, you are missing the point. Nobody is asking you to do their house chores....you can simply offer to clear the table after eating. I do this a lot and I'm a guy. I even offer to wash the plate.

The little things you do and say outside speaks volume about your personality.
