Proper training is nothing to do with your household hobbies? If the world was properly trained according to you we will have no einsteins, no astronauts, no doctors no nurses no lawyers no policemen no soilders no judges. The proof of this is the number of women doing the above jobs being very limited, all because of people like you that believe a womans proper training is in the kitchen. |

dayokanu: How many of them do your know personally. Not just the ones you work with. How many of them have you vacationed with and discussed personal marital issues with. You say all that then turn around and use Rick Santorum's wife as an example. She is a housewife. She can have 7 kids and will still be able to manage. She has no other ambition besides that and that is fine but please don't get it twisted. Just don't get all simple all of a sudden. Stick with it |

Outstrip: How many I know personally, I would say enough. Infact the ones I know are the conservative ones the core whites(that almost border on being racists). I live in the South. Did you see my quote that the Rick Santorum was an aside, Which means its not related to the working mother -domestic chores issue? Rather it is to contrast how people on here glorify whites as being very different from Blacks If a Nigerian housewife has 7 kids, I wonder what posters on Nl would call him. "uncivilised", "Cant keep his stuff in his pants", "worn the woman out", "turned her into a baby factory", " African men only think women are good for baby making" If a Nigerian man says he doesnt believe in contraceptives, I wonder the type of names he would have been called comparing him to whites, Comments like : " Thats why Africa is backward" , "A white man cant reason like that", "Its his lack of education or exposure" would be commonplace |

And the same whites that know how to cook, majority of them are full house wives, i hope we agree with that?? |

ronkebp: not true. . . . i know a few who work 9-5 and are great cooks. . . why is it so difficult for some naija women that cooking is a hobby for some white women. |

I agree with you dayokanku, it is sad to see that we still have this inferiority complex when it come to whites, at least some people still do. It still amazes me why some people have such prejudices about large families. I think it is a personal decision. I have a large family and it really is so wonderful. 1 Like |

^^^^^ Having a large family in the western countries we all know is by choice and not like the majority of the women in Nigeria with no exposure to family planning and proper education of having safe sex. it has nothing to do with inferiority complex. 1 Like |

coogar: Definitely there are some that work and still cook, no one is disputing that, i am talking of whites with PHDs',and other qualifications are sit at home moms, with their husbands bringing home the bacon and still helping out. |

Any career woman that is married is a potential house wife. a time may come when you can no longer cope and have to take a time out to face the family. Alternatively the kids may require you attention, when they have special needs. 1 Like |

ronkebp: i laugh in phd! ronkebp: majority of women in nigeria have a large family by choice. more often than not, they are the ones who egg their husband on for more children(either because they are looking for a male or a female child). every woman in nigeria knows about family planning - they just won't practise it. |

ronkebp: Are you sure? queensmith: ronkebp: If a Nigerian couple decides to exercise that same right, We come here blaming them and calling them names E.g if a Nigerian woman choose to cook for her family after her days job, We call her slave and assume a white woman can never do such demeaning task |
Re: How Do Career Women Cope With Domestic Chores? - Help! by mutter(f): 8:52pm On Feb 15, 2012 |
Certainly most women know about family planning. COOGER why blame it on the women. I think it is a mutual decision. But very often the couple is in search of a male child. |

it is very apparent that many blacks have serious skin issues and see whites as their gods. ronkebp: Not true. Nigerian women are more savvy than you give them credit for. A lot of women with large families do so by choice. ronkebp: Absolute untrue. I dont know any white girl who is a housewife but their houses are still spotless and they cook very well. ronkebp: actually the sit-at-home syndrome is common with poorly educated whites. |

coogar: I am still not going to compare the knowledge about planning your family thingy here in the States with Nigeria women, the market women, farmers, villagers, petty traders, and so on that have more than four children. Majority of them wait till they reach menopause before they stop giving birth. 1 Like |

ronkebp: they all know about family planning but they have chosen to ignore it. what do you take nigeria for? that farmers have never seen condoms before or their wives have never heard about contraceptives? davidylan: thank you! people often forget white folks get levels too. . . . . |

dayokanu:Nope am not sure, even as we have educated, working class white women that cook, we also have educated, working class white women that do not cook. And just like many have said, you cannot practically compare American cooking with proper Naija cooking, unlsess you just want to lie. |
Re: How Do Career Women Cope With Domestic Chores? - Help! by Nobody: 9:16pm On Feb 15, 2012 |
ronkebp: why? what's the difference? |
Re: How Do Career Women Cope With Domestic Chores? - Help! by ronkebp(f): 9:17pm On Feb 15, 2012 |
coogar: Big fat lie, that the sit at home mums are not educated, i just asked a white woman sitting next to me that question, and she said majority of them that chose to sit at home is by choice and agreement between the husband and wife and are well educated. so say something else. |

ronkebp: have you lived in the midwest before? Majority of those in low income white families (south and midwest) are stay-at-home mommies. Lets be candid here. ronkebp: Purely nigerian. Why cant we compare american cooking with nigerian cooking? |

This is one reason Nigerian men who venture into marrying whites end up running home to re-marry. because they don't like change and sometime un-cooperative. I see no big deal if the husband lends a hand. but the difference between Our Nigerian women and Oyinbo is that the privilege can be misused or seen as a sign of weakness by Nigerian woman hence the stalemate. |

I cant believe people are here actually trying to tell me there are any sort of similarities in Nigerian and british culture. I'm absolutely dazed by it. Dazed. Stomped., Believe it or not British men are nothing like Nigerian men. Its not acceptable in a country like england to make a statement like 'women cant drive' or 'a womans place is in the kitchen' one can lose his/her job for such a remark. So believe me when i tell you our cultures are VERY different. The same goes for even the housewives, the husbands, the children. A british housewife is by no means anything like a nigerian one. By absolutely no means. Theres no negative stigma attached to eating out, theres no negative stigma attached to a man helping in the house ,the women do not serve thier husbands, they most certainly do not carry a bowl of water to the living room for him to wash his hands with . The women actually have it easy, esp the housewives. Makes me wonder what they do with themselves, just look pretty can u imagine! Theres no penisworship in this side of the world. |
