From Outstrip I don't subscribe to spending the whole weekend in the kitchen either but it really should not be this complicated. If you get back from work at about 8pm everyday then your husband really should be part of this process. What in the world are you guys going to do when the babies start coming. Sometimes I wonder how my husband and I survived the first couple of years but looking back now I realized that we ran the home like a freaking military operation. Everything was planned in advance for everything to run smoothly but we did it all together. That's the foundation. Plan everything. Following that, your husband must ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE in running the house. I cook, and get my my 2 kids aged 3 and 7 ready for school and drop them off. That is my own daily contribution as my wife's office is 2 hours away from home, On days when we are both tired we eat take away BUT NOT ALWAYS. I didn't come to London to help chinko buy his house cash down. I also do the weeks ironing in advance. Perhaps washing machine and dishwasher might help you. Me I no get dishwasher? What will baba Ijebu do with dishwasher? If not that the water can be bitterly cold I would still be washing my clothes by hand ( just teasing) Adopt these and you should be fine. Speaking from 10 years experience Lol lol 1 Like |

VANITY Single ladies, carry yourself with dignity, don't let anyman think he did you a favour by marrying you. Just pray when you are looking for a hubby that God should please give you a good, responsible man but most importantly someone that is your best friend and has a conscience bless u 4 dis statement 1 Like 1 Share |

Enough of men testing women during courtship. I am advising every single lady to make sure their fiancés pass cooking tests before you say "yea" to him. Make sure you watch him cook from the scratch and produce a fantastic dish at the end. Watch the way he cuts his onions, atarodo and tatashe . But please don't say yes to a man that eats more than 3 pieces of meat whilst cooking, not a good husband material 1 Like 1 Share |

Sagamite:My hubby says the same thing. Some Nigerian men will make thier wives age from cokking, cleaning child birth, contraceptives, school runs, etc. She is busy forming superwoman and virtous woman while they get someone to keep them young, virile and alive. You want a sexy, attractive and happy wife then learn to share in the work or at least pay someone to help her out. Learn to enjoy the company of madam, Have a weekly date, just you and her, a movie night, one for u and madam and one for the whole family, game day at least twice a month, keep each other happy and comfortable instead of spending all your free time " hanging with the boys" drinking beer or being with some over bleached, over made up fake brazillian hair wearing money drainer. Happy wife, happy home, sexy wife sexy home, stressed up wife stressed up home 2 Likes 2 Shares |

vanitty: Well said. My mother merely worked 9-5 but she did not have to do any cooking stuff. My papa made us cook ourselves from the age of 10. The man was like Cook your own meals and even his, despite the fact that we had older relatives in the house most times. But as the gangster and rebel of the house, I still always escape it. My brother as the nice sheep also liked me so much he would cook my meals while cooking for my dad (who came home everyday for lunch and to make sure we were doing our school work especially maths). I remember my Mum always laughing that I was a spoiled brat when my brother used to make my meals. I even started asking him "where is my food" when hungry. The guy was just nice to me, he also covered my tracks when I left the house to go and play. That said, I can cook o. I did it in boarding school when breaking rules & cooking illegally in the school complex and when I got to the UK. 1 Like 1 Share |

Alright, I didn't want to reply but then again I'll like a bit of controversy here. If you like yourself madam u better work on yourself and leave your husband out of it. The best you can tell your husband is to help you get a washing machine, vacuum cleaner and anything that will make the job easier as well as reduce the domestic work period. If my wife tells me to do any domestic chores then she's hit Olumo rock. I wonder why men are becoming puccis nowadays that they can't put their foot down. Being a man I can cook 5 different kinds of soups and stew that will last for a week to two in 3hrs, that's with a gas stove. Why would you spend a whole day cooking? Didn't you practice cooking before getting married abi Mr Biggs and Sweet sensation was the order of the day? How sluggish can you get? I wouldn't be surprised if ure having problems at work for being slow. These days the dicing of leaves as well as grinding of ingredients for food can be done in the market. Yeah I'm a man and when I get home I expect my food. One good thing about me is I can warm things on my own when I get back but don't expect to be domestic woman. U wan start 3rd world war abi? I'm not so picky but if I feel the cooking isn't good enough I just enter the kitchen and prepare something and with that make an effective statement. Must d house be swept everyday? Put some policies in place and u wouldn't need to repeatedly do stuff. For instance if you have a policy that the bathtub and toilet seat should look the way they were when you entered then you shouldn't have any problems. |

By the way, my brother is lazy now. A live-in child nanny and wife that do all his cooking. Wife is only backup as she works. He only does child-care when the nanny is away, sharing it with wife. I just go there and leave with bowls of food anytime I visit. Shinor: LMAO! Shinor: I tried that shyt last year as part of my rebellion against modern technology (some NLers know I refuse to use SATNAV and still use AtoZ till today), but I got bored and started using my washing machine again. 1 Like 1 Share |

r231: Bruv, I tried that shyt last year men. I refuse to use satnav, calculators, andriod phones, dishwasher etc because I think it would make people mentally and physically lazy. I remember some NL people I dropped off in out first BBQ meet-up, laughing at me using AtoZ. Them no understand! But the washing of clothes with hand when you wear one clothe item a day and bedding over to wash pass me sha. Washing machine was back up in a month doing what it was made to do. jennykadry: I for don eat my share before the food is served. |

@queen Reason why I said you have to watch them cook from scratch. Someone like me can tell who passionately loves cooking and who doesn't Just watch the way they handle the knife, what they are wearing, please don't say yes to a man that wears fancy cloth In the kitchen(shirt and tie, Levi Jean) go for those that wear old shirts and shorts, they re the take home to mama. Avoid those that eat meat and stockfish whilst cooking, you will end up shopping every day to replace the already buried ones in their stomach 1 Like 1 Share |

maki: As far as I am concerned, if you are working the same hours, you are doing extra hours on the side as a fashion designer and you have cooked the hard to make meals for freezing in advance, the least he can do is to do the bolded himself. Freaking 10-30 minutes most of which is just to check if it is done. |
