Why don't you help him sometimes?
In my own opinion, you're worse than those children. It is your type that will rather take photos of a dying person than actually saving them.

Whenever you see him carrying a bucket of water, and the children are there misbehaving as usual, quickly rush to collect it from him, making sure the children sees you and if after then it's still the same. It's either you continue helping whenever you can or you peacefully mind your business.

I've been staying with my brother like two weeks now and I also notice that their landlord and the wife are the ones doing all the house chores ranging from sweeping the compound, cooking food going to the market washing dishes and laundry, fetching water although na mel-ruwa while they have two grown up daughters that doesn't do anything except waiting for 6pm to put on their generator.

His fault
He should reap it
Same way my landlady is reaping what she sowed from her only daughter.
The girl grew up not knowing how to.cook or clean, she doesn't go out to buy anything and even if you ask her to buy anything, they may likely cheat her.
House help is no longer available and babe can't do shit.

Her brothers on the other hand can do all house chores including cooking.
The way you make your bed, so shall u lie on it.

AFONAMARO:


I weep for comments like this. You mean he should go do chores for a man with 6 irresponsible fools so he could be taken serious?

I bet you go around looking for people to assist with chores in your vicinity.

Father Christmas!

My landlord is idoma by tribe and has six grown up children, three boys and three girls. He should be in his late fifties or early sixties. Here is the issue.

This man despite having grown up boys and girls always do his chores by himself while the children will be lazying around engaging in trivial discussions. This man will wash his clothes by himself while his girls, the youngest being twenty years of age will be chatting with friends in the compound. This man will go to fetch water with kegs using a wheel barrow every morning while the boys will sit outside doing nothing.

Meanwhile the water he fetches is used by every member of the house. This man can go up to three to four trips while the boys will be busy arguing about Manchester United and Chelsea with friends.

What baffles me the most is that they see nothing wrong in this because the man doesn't complain and his wife, their mother is also witnessing everything.

My question now is, is this an acceptable norm in their (Idoma) culture? For a father to be doing the house chores while the children will be playing. I'm asking because where I come from, it is unacceptable.
