7 Nigerian Men Talk About Being Stay-at-home Dads by finessela: 12:22pm On Sep 17, 2014 |
If I don’t have to worry about money, I will gladly be a stay-at-home mum. I will have seven children like my mummy and live in a beautiful home by the beach. Do you remember Julia Roberts’ house in Sleeping with the Enemy? The one by the beach? Yes, that’s the one I will live in. I will have so much fun with my children! I will travel the world with them and keep a mommy blog where I will upload pictures and videos for other mums who will wish they stayed at home too. I will spend my spare time writing, and the remaining spare time volunteering, and designing development programs for charities. Sadly, I have to worry about money The argument about if a woman should stay at home or work has been on for decades, but in recent years, it has been kicked aside by a rather more controversial one. “Should men be stay-at-home dads?” More than ever before, more men are opting to stay at home with the kids, they have their reasons but so do people who say it is traditionally wrong for men to do so. Here are some men’s views about being a stay-at-home dad; Gozie: Some men want to be more involved in raising their kids, some do it because they can’t afford childcare costs, and so, the person with the smallest income stays at home, and well, in some homes the woman earns more. But for me, I don’t think I can do it. IK: I can be a stay at home dad, but I have to be doing something else while at it, maybe like running a home business. That can’t be the only thing I do, it will be like I am wasting away. Demola: I think it’s not biblical, and it doesn’t even sound right culturally too. You should be a provider for your home. I will go out and work, and work and work till I can make enough to take care of my family. If anyone should stay at home, it should be the woman. Kenny: There is actually nothing wrong with it. Women do it, so why can’t men do it. It doesn’t make them less of a man. I love my children and if I have to stay at home to ensure they get proper attention, then I will. Who pays the bills really shouldn’t matter, as long as they get paid and the kids get taken care of. Tope: Yes, I can be a stay at home dad. If I am mentally or physically handicapped to work, I can be a stay at home dad. Also, if I can be making my cool millions right there inside my house as I stay with the kids, I will be a stay at home dad. That’s all! Mike: Gosh! WTF! What on earth is that? That is just so wrong on many levels. Seriously, men should just stop it. It’s ridiculous. Don’t turn the world upside down. Stephen: So, when I am hanging out with the men and they are all talking about their careers and businesses, what will I be talking about? Diapers and baby food? Now over to you. Lets hear what you think about this. Do you think more men should embrace this? copied from www.femmelounge.ng |
