I like your viewpoint. My experience has shown your ideas to be true, then again, I have also read the opposite from different sites like this one. Do you have any suggestions for getting more quality information on natural health or related topics? I would certainly appreciate it!

I don’t think you can blame mothers ..Why not blame the men who accept lazy women and support them ?…It isn’t their mother.Grown women are responsible for their own behavior.I don’t know how you can blame mothers.

I am a joburg girl and I am truly offended by your article. Why must I be a super woman?

My role as a woman has changed, I now have to bring home the bacon too. Does this mean I have to do your job (breadwinner) and still be dutiful wife and mother? What are you doing to support me in all these roles…

Be the sole bread winner and I will gladly be the dutiful wife and mother and cater to your every need.

The Jozi woman is so accustomed to living on her own and doing things for herself whenever and however she wants to. When you come into the picture (OH YEA MIGHTY MAN), you cant expect her to suddenly look for the broom and a tray to serve you. With love comes the desire to help your significatnt other, naturally i’d expect that would be the case with my man. I dont expect to come home 2 hours after you and find you holding your tummy in hunger when you know I dont take the pots with me to the office! It’s all about common sense…

Much as a man’s behavior doesn’t always have much to do with their father, a woman’s behavior doesn’t always have to do with how their mother raised them. Human beings are much more complex than that! Picture this … A drunkard lady gives birth to twin girls. The twins lead very harsh upgrowing due to their mother’s drinking problem. One twin grows up to become a very success prominent member of the community, the other grows up to become a hopeless drunkard with no real direction in life. On their 21st birthday celebration they are each afforded a moment to say a word or two during the party. The hopeless twin states, “I’m what I’m today because of my mother”, and the successful twin states, “If it wasn’t of my mother, I wouldn’t be what I’m today”.
Which of the two twins is telling the truth?

Respect must in a relationship be mutual if the co-existence is to be healthy, irrespective of which corner of the Earth one originates from. Chores within a household must be dealt with equitably … in a fair manner. There’s not much wrong in a wife focusing on what is traditionally known to be women chores, and a man doing likewise. So long as each performs their share of the family tasks diligently or makes a plan for someone to takeover when they are not able to do their tasks themselves, all should be in order.

Thanks Sumo for this. Now I really appreciate my Zulu Man, who treat me like a queen and not like his slave. If all Zulu man thinks like you, then he is truly one of a kind. I see a man as a cherry on top of the cake and not the whole cake. Even if the cherry is not there the cake is still delicious. Some of us women don’t need men in our lives, we choose to have them. So go back to your kingdom and get your subsivient wife, you can’t handle a real one anyway.

@True woman – Are you for real?

Oh Sumo! Now you’ve done it! I’ve been in this mad city for 8months and I have to be honest, Jozi women are LAZY! Keeping a clean house is not a mission if you do it regularly. It doesn’t matter how much money you make but nothing beats a personal touch. It’s the same thing as your man fixing a plug for you or something, it feels good that you have someone in the house who can fix stuff, do the garden etc and you’d hate it if everytime you needed a plug fixed you had to call a handyman. It’s all about personally taking care of your man.
