Alright! this is what i just notice, most of my male friends came to me complaining about their wives became nagger after giving birth for their son/daughter. During the early point of relationship, most couples seems too sweet but later on as years goes by, women turned to be "nagger"? Why do you think most men, think that way about women, specially their wife?

Giving birth has little to do with nagging, except that children do bring more responsibility into the relationship. The main reason for "nagging" is as previous posters have said: that women want and need more help around the house. Perhaps they feel like they do everything, and maybe they even truly do. When I was younger, I remember my dad going to work around 7:00 AM, coming home around 3:00 PM, and just watching tv until dinner. After dinner, he took a shower, fell asleep on his chair watching tv, and eventually stumbled off to bed. My mother and we kids had to take care of the house, all personal commitments, mom paid the bills, did the shopping, cleaned, drove us kids around, laundry, etc. Mom was a real nagger, according to dad, and she told me years later that it was because she needed help. Except I remember her specifically asking dad to do certain things, but he never did them. Because she told him just what he was expected to do, he had no reason to call her a nagger. He just didn't pull his weight. And I'll tel you straight up, if my husband ever gets like that, he's out the door!

Women who "nag" are often feeling overwhelmed by their responsibilities and are asking for help. If they don't get the help, and no one shows them their options, they will continue to "nag." If the men see ANY request for help around the house or yard as "nagging," then they are just whiney, selfish people who deserve what they get! These men need to understand that just making money isn't enough! I also think they need to empower their wives to make more decisions on their own -- including when and how to spend money in order to get whatever they need done around the house done. And no complaining afterwards. If they can't get the stuff done themselves, then they need to delegate the responsibility and be satisfied with the result of their decision.
