Kitchen

Women and kitchens have been like 5&6 since time immemorial. My son often asks questions like was it a man who discovered food could be cooked, if yes, why is it women that cook? That's another topic.

Anyway, my point is this, when you have more than one woman in a home, the kitchen often becomes a cause of strife among them. In many homes, this is often ignored and left to fester.

A lot of men get married and still expect their mothers and aunties to enjoy the same freed.in the kitchen as before they married. And this little detail has broken many marriages

First question ask when such cases come to me is does your wife have the same freedom.in your mom or aunties kitchen?

Most often, the answer is No. And so I then preach equity.

Most african men see this issue as a way for the wide to show love, but my question, has your mom every gotten upset because you took a meal she had plans for? Most often,the answer is yes. So why shouldn't you expect that your wife wouldn't have plans for her grocery's and kitchen items?

This n detail is a top reason for cranky single mums ☺.

We are used to our kitchen groceries list, maybe even menu. And then you bring in your mom or cousin who takes a some onions, some spice some potatoes. Disrupting our plans, our budget and our menu without as much as an excuse me .

If it were her relative, she would probably get some collateral but in most cases, inlaws from the male side seem to feel entitled and would even talk back if attempt to ration what they are taking.

All that might be managed if the husbandman would just speak up and say something to back you up, but when all he has to say is that you hate his family. My dear Mrs, you are as single as a widow on a pension

Hope I didn't hurt your feelings but if this is you, I honestly do hope you have backup plan for raising your kids because that man just want to point to them not engage with the details
