And his wife, mother to the irresponsible children, is witnessing all of this and not saying anything.

If a woman does not have any regard for her husband, it will be foolhardy to expect the children to have any regard for their father.

The problem is almost certainly coming from his wife.

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.

I know right?
I actually started reading, expecting to read it’s a younger man and much younger kids so I would go like, “nothing wrong with bla bla bla...”
However his age broke my heart, I dunno why
The topic has got me feeling really uncomfortable.
I can only hope he is happy.

Are you for real? Are you normal or you're on Colorado?

You're not serious for posting this nonsense, someone have 6 grown up children and the last born is around 20 years,he can't tell them to help him and you want the op to help him?

You're crazy for posting this nonsense.

This is so annoying,Oga you're crazy.

veave:
You're an adult......
1. You can call them aside especially the boys and advice them one on one.

2. Start chooking the children word small small. Make it public where people are at least shame go catch them.

3. You can talk to their mother, put fear in her body. Tell her the too much work will kill her husband fast and she'll be a widow.

4. Mind your business.

I strongly advise that you go with number 4. Thanks

There is this scenerio i usually observe with my landlord and his children which always makes me curious and also raises unanswered question within me. This prompt me to post this here.

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.

I hope some of our digital Nairaland parents learn from this..

Don't be a fool just like the others quoting me. If you have a problem with something, you find a solution to it not blaming anyone.
The poor man needs help, help him if you can.
A poor child needs help, do what you can.
Anyways, it doesn't really matter. I'll still kill you if I have to.
