bukatyne: Madam, MUST EVERYBODY WORK BECAUSE THEY NEED THE MONEY?? SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU, SOME WOMEN WILL NOT STOP WORKING EVEN IF THEY HAVE THE WHOLE WORK BECAUSE....... THEY WANT TO WORK!

***Singing olu maintain's yahoozee***

Awon kan w'aye wa s'ise, awon kan w'aye wa gba "money"!!

armyofone: a good place to volunteer and you should know why if you live in the US.
Cheers.


good idea too if the hi tech companies will select your resume. so many interns/coop students already vying. So if you are stay at home dad, I wonder how you will be volunteering 1hr doing test on gadgets.

Does it have anything to do with free internet?

bukatyne: there are some people who are content with staying at home all day without doing any stimulating job; some are not and will feel they are wasting. Group A are suited to be housewives. If group B decided to be, they have to occupy themselves else they feel frustrated so they take up voluntary jobs, commit to their local church, sit on one board or the other.

My dear, stop trying so hard- you are not the first woman to work, neither will you be the last. I pray that you end up with a well-to-do husband that will dote on and pamper you silly. Then you will know that all this your gragra is not it at all.

You had better start saying Amen to my prayers for you and stop being such a naive girl.

For me, volunteering at the library is an describable high. Just seeing the wealth of knowledge books can impart, epecially to kids - I don't know if you can put a value on that. Volunteering and donating to the library is definitely one of my favorite things to do.

Ok, really cool. I genuinely love reading too. The stress of work is taking the love of books away somewhat now. Most of my reading is work related and on the internet.

As if the only variables is either uncaring, selfish, hamster-on-a-wheel Workaholic Mums on one side of the coin vs parasitic, scrounging, freeloader, good-for-nothing doormat of housewife on the other side.


What happened to the in-betweeners such as the housewives who deliberately sacrificed their time, made hay whilst the sun shone and earned enough to save a fortune, work voluntarily for no pay, have other side interests which generates money, etc such as Damiso, Myne White, Naijababe...


What happened to the working Mum who drops everything after 5pm to rush to their children's side or those who makes sure they are the ones who opens the door to their children when they get home, cook and serve their children's food, sit with their children to make sure their homework is ready to be handed in, etc




See how they turned the thread into a "my Father's farm is bigger than your Father's farm" thread, mschewww, SMH!!!

I have seen a trend,some housewives end up with daughters who want to be housewives just like their mother
Whatever works for folks but as for me,i like my financial independence,the word housewife doesn't exist in my lexicon.

Can you comprehend at all? You were asking armyofone why the volunteer stuff and I explained to you. So wat's this your post about? Sorry to disappoint you, I am not looking for a well to do husband who will spoil me silly, I've found a man we would build our lives together and touch lives in our sphere of influence. You can kindly take your prayers to the next bus stop. Thanks.

This young lady needs a lot of polishing... the fact that I asked that question does not mean I don't know 80% of the answer already. There is something peculiar to the volunteering that you don't get, it is primarily a trend in America... don't get me wrong O. People volunteer for libraries in the most remote village in Polynesia too. Like Armyofone referred to, it is something someone in Nigeria might not easily get. Hence, your attempt at educating me is err... totally unnecessary because quite frankly, you don't understand the question talk less of being able to answer it appropriately.

As for your man, #Hehehe. Good luck to him- He needs it with this your stubborn-as-a-mountain goat outlook to life.

#LOL

No one is perfect so yea I need a lot of polishing . So because I won't be an housewife or subscribe to it, I have a stubborn - as - a - mountain goat outlook to life? Or because I said I want a man that we will build our lives together? Is this how you force people to see things your way? Please get a life and let me be with my outlook to life! Afteral, I am entitled to it!

Hold-on one minute. How do you transform from "having a man" to "wanting a man" within two consecutive posts? Of course, you are entitled to live your life just as I am entitled to wind-you-up on any issue/topic whenever I choose. You want to be "free"? Just laugh my posts off and don't respond at all (part of the polishing I am talking about).

I am not fascinated by the topic at all. The fun gets removed when you start turning our spontaneous and vivacious debates into "drab attention-seeking, structured debates." People were having a good go at each other before this thread made front page and they did not need the moderator to teach or guide them on how to do so. I am sure other people interested will participate- I won't try and spoil their effort or fun.

What difference does it make ? Ok, I have a man I want to build my life with As for the winding part, suit yourself.

In other words you are chickening out
That's ok.
I'm sure people who are confident in being able to present reasonable arguments in a 'structured' way, rather than blab incoherently, will be willing to participate!
Any point of correction, these threads are not supposed to be turned into a 20-page senseless argument!
People are supposed to just give their opinion and leave. These are people's real life problems, not a place for petty jokes and 'vivacious debates'!

Thread Closed!!!!

Ehen now, my lack of intelligence has been demonstrated over time. I don't need a debate to prove it.
