Men And Home Chores...

This should be interesting....and Educative!






I read a positive writeup where one man shares the reasons he is actively involved in home chores where he lives and how his friend says he does not help his wife failed to thank him when he did....


Sometimes I wonder if some men have their medulla oblangata intact...lol

I know there are some men reading this who do not even know what their kitchen looks like because they feel a man should not enter the Kitchen...like seriously?

Does it say anywhere in the Bible that men should not enter the Kitchen to cook or do the Laundry and clean up the house?

Or is it a man thing where you have formed an opinion in your head that real men dont step into the Kitchen or do home chores?

If you are a man tell us how actively involved in home chores and why you do it....If you are not,please explain why you refuse to be involved...

    1. Men should not just help it's part of their duty. A man that takes part in house chores is leading his home by example.
      Trust me it helps young couple in bonding, it relieves stress and it's a partnership that will only bring success.
      I have been married for almost two decades. My wife will accuse me of spoiling her. The only time I pretend not to do house chores is when my mother in law is around cause she feels am encouraging her to be lazy. My mum taught me a lot ..cooking, cleaning and it has been of great help. We stopped having a househelp when our last child turned 4. How can you call yourself a CEO of an organization and you don't know what operates in a department - the kitchen. The truth is we make house chores fun and cooking exciting. Everyone cooks and clean in my house. And before you say maybe we can't afford it let me tell you I can afford to have 5 househelps and won't know I have dropped a dime at the end of the month and you be shocked how much am worth. And my house is big but if you clean along as you litter a place then you discover you always have less to do. So it's a team that has to work. My children are all boys so we tend to spoil the lady of the house. The only no go area for me is the market cause I will end up spending ten times the amount. I cant face query so her Excellency handles that department. Atimes CEO's need to delegate too. But trust me I blame the women who don't give their male child proper home training in carrying out house chores. Men who do house chores are close to their wives,romantic, they communicate better, they bound well and co operate in bringing up children who are completely comfortable at home especially in the kitchen. We are both professionals and we have been able to achieve more as a couple.

    2. Anon16:27, I would have asked you to chorus but it won't make a difference so let me be brief with you because you are unidentifiable.
      First and foremost, your advice is unsolicited, if in doubt read Stella's portion again. Secondly, if you were nearly half as wise as you claim to be, you will also know and unfailingly state that every marriage is unique and what works for A might backfire for B.
      Instead of you to buy Washing machine for your family, you are busy domesticating male kids and running mouth here like olofofo parrot - I PUT IT TO YOUR FACE THAT YOU NO GET SHISHI

    3. Bless you anon 16:27.
      My hubby is like you, he does everything I can do at home. He paid people to do the chores when we lived in nja, I had a maid for the 5years I lived in another country because my hubby wants us to flex all the time then. Now that we are in a new country, no maid as I don't need help for the kids anymore.
      My hubby recently started doing all the cooking for Saturday and Sundays and he works Monday to Friday. Pays the bills while we save my money. We use my money for things that are not regular. Like pay off, dash off or some little luxury. We both cook when his folks or mine visits, I do the weekday cooking which is mostly dinner. My mom gladly does our cooking through out her visit. He's my momma's best friend, God bless your existence my crown.
      To think I almost settled for one ijesha that was going to turn me into an executive maid still baffles me Ahahah.

Won't descend so low to join issues with you. if you consider what I wrote up there as bragging then I wonder what you think a man who has been married for almost two decades should have achieved. Let me just ask you in Stella's words....... How far can your bank balance take you. I think that's your problem.

  2. Shebi that was how I dated one like that and in the course if gusting he said he can never help me out in thrckirchen that it is not done in bende abia where he comes from. I said even if I am multitasking and you food is ready, you can't pick your already served food in the kitchen, he said God forbid that I have to serve him, except I am sick and in the hospital, but if I am home no matter what I have to. This is a guy that was married for 4years and the wife said she is tired of the marriage "so he said". I quickly borrowed myself brain, sense and instinct.

  3. Yes; a man/professional writing:

    My wife and I are professionals. I do shopping, laundry, cooking (when my wife can't). I have kids and the boy is learning to cook as well as the girls.

    It is foolish not to teach the boy child how to cook. When he becomes a man, a small village girl can seduce him through meals . . . such attempts had been made on me. You have to be spiritually alert in Christ to detect that.

    Let me ask fellow men;
    HOw can you a man be in the house and your wife goes to purchase a bag of rice, beans or some yams and struggle to even put them in the car? What a shame. Did you not read in Act six that men were appointed to buy and distribute food to women; check it.
    How can you and your wife come back from work and she is the one to go through the market/mall to buy food and go home to cook and serve you and you expect everything intact in the bedroom; every concentration and strength?
    And when it perhaps does not happen, the "brain' between your thighs will elongate at the sight of a little skirt?
    See, if you take off some stress on your wife, she will look young. My wife is more beautiful than when I married her years ago.

  6. What are home (domestic chores)?

    A man sorts out minor electrical, mechanical and plumbing chores at home.

    He does the heavy lifting.

    He opens the gate.

    He puts on the gen.

    He is th defacto security man and family body guard.

    He goes to buys fuel for the gen. He turns the fuel into the gen.

    He calls and supervises the mechanics that work on the car and gen.

    Sorts out nepa issues when there's a compound meeting for wire reconnection n things.

    So, are all these chores done at home, if yes, are they home chores? Definitely!

    It's clear that women's brains are warped. That's why they can't keep a man. These gwegs do not understand labour divisions.

    Fine, the man can wash plates and peel egusi if you'll do his part of the home chores too.

    And to all those feminists that say they will make their sons work in the kitchen due to equality, hope they'll also make their daughters wash the cars, start the gen, change over, and run errands at nights for the same reason.

    8. True talk... My father is a one helluva great man.. He does all those 'men things' you mentioned above.. Keeps everything in check, even gets rid of pests as quickly as possible(i hate rats and geckos)..When he's around, you have this peace, this feeling that everything's going to be OK.. He doesn't cook, sweep or do dishes (for why?) Whenever he isn't around,we all feel it.. Funny enough,my male siblings are not a quarter of what my father is..and that's because my mom spoilt them.. They hardly ever do anything..their presence at home is like a burden on the females.
      They can't (or won't) wash their own clothes, they'd rather die of hunger than scoop (not even cook) their own food from the pot when a lady is around(even if so tired that she can't move a muscle )the list goes on and on. We, the younger siblings wait on them (even to pick remote control (by just a mere stretching of the arm..they'll call for assistance)...they feel they are kings because they are men..They can't even kill chicken or rat.
      Personally, I don't think it's a man's job to cook, do the dishes, clean and all.. They have their jobs too you know..
      I just feel they should know when to offer assistance at home, not everytime, but in times when the woman has a lot on her hands and is stressed out...
      No-one's saying it's their job but they should assist when they need to.
      I for one don't want a man that cannot perform his manly duties...

  8. How do people even read the bible? Men bought food and distributed to women in the New Testament:

    In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews[a] among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. 2 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. 3 Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them . . .” Acts 6

  9. Stella some men have this misconception and a massive amount of unhealthy ego perched on their shoulders all steaming mostly from the type of upbringing they had. When their parents treat them like mini gods when they were growing up and the female children like househelps afterall she has to know her onions when she finally gets married that is exactly what you get.
    Yes I get that but there should be a balance. 👏👏👏 to my mama who made sure her sons can hold their own in the kitchen and sees partaking in making sure the house is clean and tidy a normal thing. My elder brother ensured that I learnt how to make soups when I was a teenager; he was my taste master and taught me his own tips and now show me the woman that can brag beside him?
    My hubby can cook, infact loves to...his efo is still making news in my family 😆 and he chips in whenever there's house chores to do with a little incentive 😉. I hardly saw the inside of a restaurant during our courtship because when I get to his place there's a mini buffet of tasty dishes proudly cooked by him waiting for me so wetin I wan chop outside again?
    As far as am concerned, real men help their wives out because nobody can do it all. Gone are the days when the men go out and make the money and the women are house wives...nowadays women hold it down too career wise and unless you want her to breakdown help that woman out.
    So many women out here looking like their husbands mothers or elderly aunts simply because they are bone tired from working even more than their husbands in the office, taking care of the kids and household chores. Make una give us a break abeg...even superwoman will burn out.

      Actually, when I first saw the post before Stella released comments I wanted to say something perfectly similar to what “this mad woman" said, but on a second thought, I didn't have the chance then as it might have been time consuming. I just assumed that someone(a reasonable man) would still say it anyways, I never imagined she(this tout) admit or to this very harsh truth.
      PS: A real man would rather go hustle, watch football or reason with himself and a bottle of beer and then go on to eat roasted corn or drink garri for dinner than spend time lighting matches to put on cooker because he wan chop!

      You can be a Chairman at work but at home, you help out where possible.

  11. It all boils down to courtship; what do you/did you discuss?
    Was it all sex, f*ck?
    If you discussed from scriptures etc. you would have known the responsibility for each person to make the home a happy living place.

    Courtships have been bastardized with sex and social media and that has given rise to stupid behaviors in marriage. The woman is put under undue stress and she finds out that it is not like it seemed.

  16. I miss my man because I'm never alone in the kitchen. He does everything you think a woman can do.

    I'm a lazy ass when it comes to washing clothes especially whites, so whenever I decide to spend weekend, I take my whites along and he does justice to his alongside his.

    All we need in any form of union is Understanding. No biggie doing home chores.

    Lest I forget, I hate doing the dishes, so after clean up I'll pretend to be in a hurry so that he can do the dishes when alone.

  17. A man should ONLY be obligated to help out in the kitchen if he shares the responsibility of paying the bills with his wife. If I pay the bills alone, don't expect me near that kitchen except you're Ill. If women want equality, let it be implemented to the fullest. Today's Nigerian woman thinks she can manipulate her way through everything by throwing insults on social media and making men feel less of themselves. She tells you "the bible says a man that cannot take care of his home is worse than an infidel", and still goes ahead to tell you men and women are equal. Forgetting what that her bible says in the book of James that a woman should be submissive to her man. When you're submissive to someone, you ain't equal. So for me, my African culture plus my religion tell me to pay the bills 100%. But, any woman that wants to drag equality with me, and tell me to enter the kitchen, she should be ready to plead Equality too when it's time to pay the bills. The world is yet to get a creature, more self-centered than the average Nigerian female.

      When there is true love, I mean the God kind of love, the wife will submit without thinking of it and the husband will love and show it without calculating weather his wife "drags equality" with him or not.
      You need to know the ONE who is love and who also created the marriage institution before ur marriage can work.

    3. The same Bible that says a woman should submit to her husband also commands a man to love his wife.
      We humans like to complicate things.
      When a man truly loves his wife, he loves her even when she doesn't submit.
      When a woman truly submits to her husband, she submits even when he doesn't show love to her.
      Mr Blunt, excess ego can never make a marriage work.

  18. 29 Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the open country, famished. 30He said to Jacob, “Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I’m famished!” Genesis 25

    Was it a woman/wife that was cooking this stew?

    Was it a woman/wife that was cooking this stew? Yes wives should cook for their husbands but it is not exclusive. there is nothing wrong in a man cooking; it does not remove any manliness from him.

  20. I think this is a very nice forum to discuss this.
    Stella I have been married for some years now,and doing house chores is not a big deal for me.
    I help my wife sometimes in the kitchen.I also babysit my son when she is tired and busy.helping your wife in the kitchen does not limit any thing from you as a man.
    Wise men help their wife,while the foolish shy away from it.

  22. Most men don't know where things are kept in the kitchen, my dad inclusive. He probably just knows where the cutlery set is and where the plates are and that's because it's very visible in the kitchen. My dad also prepared us for school anytime we didn't have a house help around with us.

    I remember the first time I saw a man washing clothes, this was like ten years ago and I thought the wife maltreats the man.. Lol

    For me, my husband must be able to do simple things around at least, before the kids grow up. I can't be making money with him and be doing the whole house chores.

    Apart from helping my kids with their weekend home work,which is usually much,I don't get involved in household chores when I am home(I work in a neighbouring country and only come back home most weekends).There is a washing machine,there is a live-in househelp and a vacuum cleaner.Clothes I wear when I go out are taken by the dry cleaner and only house clothes are dumped in the washing machine and hung on the clothesline outside.The few times i go into the kitchen(I know the kitchen well well because na there freezer dey and things dey always dey there) during the day to say "babe,wetin u dey cook?" ,I am always greeted with "Oga,wetin u dey do here?comot from my kitchen".Na that same kitchen I go come go dey wash plates or clean ground?(the househelp goes house 2 weekends a month).Besides,I do all my cooking and cleaning where I am so I don't feel any qualms about not doing any at home.Nigeria go better,by God's grace

  40. This is a very interesting topic..when we were courting,I noticed when I visit,my husband then fiance would not lift a finger to help me in household chores,he will will just sit in the sitting room and be watching TV or reading..I will clean,wash and cook.I had to have a sit down with him about it because in my house my brothers don't act that way,they are actively involved in house chores..he told me his father used to beat them if he comes bk home to find them sweeping or helping their mum in the kitchen,that house chores are a no no unless there is no lady around..I told him it wasn't so in my house,my mum and dad will be in the kitchen gisting while he helped out in whatever way he can,they won't even notice that we the children are in our room when we should be in the kitchen..We agreed to take the positive things we saw in our parents' marriage into our own.He agreed to 'change'.Now we are married,when I was pregnant and couldn't clean our bathroom every 3 days as before..my husband will use at least 3 bathrooms in the house before the weekend..he will just keep moving from one spare room to the other,and by weekend I will have to clean 3 bathrooms instead of 1..I told him to seriously stop creating work for me and why can't he just clean the bathroom floor before bathing,will it kill him?..The days following I noticed the bathrooms were always dry and not used,he leaves much earlier than me for work so sometimes I m sleeping when he wakes up..When I asked him why everywhere is always dry now..he told me he now wakes up much earlier and bathes outside to avoid creating work for me as I told him to stop..It took Gods grace not to laugh..I told him to continue after all na only us dey the compound..But the bottom line of this epistle is that women need to train their sons very well..most men just feel everything about the kitchen,sweeping,laundry etc is a woman's job,and you have to work too.At offices these days,a woman's job description is the same as the man's,so why does the man come home tired feeling like he's had a long day and deserves rest but the woman will come bk from same job and cook,clean,take care of children etc,and one man somewhere will open his mouth and say we are 'weaker creatures'and they are superior.If you deserve rest after a long day..I do too so we can sleep hungry,likewise the kids and turn the house to a pigs sty.Since the men have pushed the women out to work and bring in money which wasn't the way in the days of old,they should also compromise by helping out in the chores too..The men can't have it all,a 'corporate' wife,a Cook,a house keeper,a Nanny,all rolled into one while they sit on their behind and do nothing..The woman is termed a 'super woman'meanwhile our backs are breaking from the enormous responsibility on our shoulders..Since 'housewife' is no longer fashionable,the men have to help to fill in the gaps created by the women going out to work for there to be a balance in the society we have now created for ourselves.

  41. My husband is a very busy man, but some weekends he shows interest in helping me with the chores. I rather not. He helping me means creating extra work for me. He wants to help do laundry ,he ends up flooding the bathroom and using up all the detergent. He wants to cook he messes the kitchen so much, using all pots and pans just to make noodles. By the time I finish cleaning that up no appetite to eat the food sef. So it's a no for me. Don't know if he does all of these deliberately so I don't ask him again. But I love him like that. So whenever he is home I just give the kids to him, that he is good at and concentrate on my job. And he also takes me to the market and help when I have to buy in bulk.
    I intend to teach my son, helping in the house don't make u less of a man, it rather makes you the man among men.

  42. We all have to remember that house Helo mentality in the country has also change the dynamics if things. How?

    In d days of forfathers men went to farm women did everything at home chores etc. This is our true culture.

    Now men Go to work women go to work too. They are bit he going out to struggle. So how is it fair for all the home chores ti be on the woman? That's where house helps come in.

    BUT these days house helps cannot be trusted we hear so many stories everyday. So something has got to give.

    Woman if you work you should contribute towards the house. Men if your wife is contributing then you should also contribute in the house shikena..

    A woman that has a well paid jib and still collects everything from her husband is a and selfish woman. She does not deserve any help form him at home!

  44. Thats how whenever i go to visit my fiance (we stay in different states), he will just leave the house for me to take care of, cooking meals and cleaning the kitchen, cleaning the house, washing his clothes and so on.. All he just wants to do is wake up, eat and do his personal things. I wouldn't have mind taking full control of the cooking but this man has refused to buy a gas cooker. he prefers to use this local electric stove that shocks and when light goes off, he will switch to kerosene stove. This is someone who can comfortably afford a cooker. So i just kukuma left him to do the cooking till he decides to buy a gas cooker.

I personally don't want a 'chef' but at least know how to make basic meals and give basic care so if push comes to shove, we won't all be totally stranded.

    My husband can cook anything in the kitchen but won't step into the market to buy a dime.
    He can wash everything and anything including my undies, children's clothes so I don't bother about that.
    I do not know when we are out of beverages and toiletries or any other thing that can be bought from the supermarket because he does that well.

    I don't believe you love ur wife for example when u see her tired or going up and down from the kitchen to the laundry to the kids room to ur room, bathroom and everywhere cooking, cleaning, washing, scrubbing,ironing e.t.c and u can't offer to help her do at least one thing out of everything. At the end of the day she is exhausted.
    Helping with chores helps to strengthen the bond between u two. She is in d kitchen cooking and u pop in once in a while even if its to gist with her.
    She is handling the cooking and cleaning, u are handling the kid's homework or ironing their uniform and co
    It endears u more to her.

  54. This is why it is important for a women to listen very carefully what a man is saying when you are dating. Some men are seeking a replacement mother who will do all for them and that they can have sex with. Some have been unemployed for years and expect the working wife to go work, battle traffic and still come home and do ALL the house chores. Some sit in the village square all day playing games and having longwinded conversations with other men and expect their wife that just gave birth to have the strength to do everything while he amuses himself. If you don't watch and listen when it was that time then the ring shall surely burn your finger. Marriage is not slavery, it is better to be alone than to be enslaved. If two are employed they have to share the chores, if only the husband is employed but the have many young children he will have to help, if only the husband is employed and they don't have any children he doesn't have to do anything, if only the wife is employed he should ensure that he cooks the dinner so she has a hot meal when she gets home and do chores!
