This is no popularity contest between wives and husbands, nor an opportunity to spite any of the sexes. I just came across this piece with the above headline by an aggrieved wife and did a summary on it to get our opinion:

Are husbands incapable of cooking and cleaning, especially when their wives are on their death beds from pregnancy-induced shitty life syndrome? Are they not able to get up in the middle of the night with a newborn and take care of the diaper changing and the rocking and the singing and the tucking in? Are they excused from such tasks because they head off to work every day (exactly as some of their wives do as well, by the way)?

I simply can’t figure out why women are settling for this. It’s not in a man’s DNA to be an unhelpful sonofabitch. Really, it’s not. They’re not naturally wired to sit on the couch in their stained tees and boxers, demanding dinner and shouting out commands to “Get these kids under control already, damnit!” while their wives break their backs and their resolve to keep some semblance of domestic order and not beat the shit out of the next little person who screams “I HATE BROCCOLI AND CHICKEN AND YOU!” at the dinner table. This type of spousal behavior is not some universal norm, ladies, and is therefore not acceptable.

My conclusion; believe it or not, there are husbands and partners out there who wouldn't be caught dead behaving in such a fashion, not to mention who wouldn't think twice about taking over dinner duties on top of everything else until their wives get a handle on whatever physical or emotional ailments haunt them and household duties can be reorganized and shared. There are quite a lot of these husbands, in fact. And if yours isn’t one of them, ladies, I recommend you start working on it he become one.

So what do you think? As a husband are you a burden to your wife? As a wife, do you consider your husband another "baby?"

What a question

Baby

LoL both abeg

self-imposed victimhood is no recipe for happiness, women are their own worst enemies.

Husbands are harder to raise, many of them are just babies



Lol, what a topic

Husbands are suppose to help their wives in whatever little way they can do. Se obinrin lo wa aye wahala ni and some women will even work till evening bf going home to take care of their families. Helping your wife as husband will not reduce your supremacy.

This is why I am against marriage in the west. All the woman does is nothing but bi.tc.h about everything the man does why expecting the man to slave his life for her and the kids. The good thing is that men are beginning to observe the anomaly and avoiding marriage to their women so as to live a better peaceful and fulfilled life. Marry at your own peril

I'll get the basket, rush straight to the market to get fish, pepper, onions, vegetables and maggi, get home and hurriedly prepare the meal just the way she likes it cos I love my wife. . MADNESS

Wow didn't know we had to raise a husband too? I didn't get that memo. His parents did not raise him or what?
