Hmm. And the same Op would argue day and night about being the Head of his family. What does being the Head entail? Why the seperation of wife from the kids? Why dnt you have your kids without getting married or being joined with a woman since you are working only for the Kids? Now the hypocrisy is glaring in this thread. Smh. No wonder nigerian marriages are in shambles! No organisation, no plans, no unity. Dysfunctional families everywhere. Tomorrow, the OP will open another thread to say his wife is building a mansion somewhere without his knowledge. 6 Likes |

The truth is this, as a man, your wife comes before your children on any matter. You works for the betterment of the society you live in. But as the head of a home, you earn to provide primarily for yourself and for all who you are responsible for. Any other is secondary. 1 Like |

Chillisauce: You couldnt have said it any better. No wonder most of them begin to misbehave once their wives become pregnant. As long as their wives have gotten pregnant, they have achieved their purpose on earth and they are free to roam like bachelors with different dirty girls!! Just give them a few weeks after the wedding, their dirty behaviour would start. No concern or regard for the wives. They do not even bother sleeping or touching their wives. They dnt bother to bond with them. Ashawo girls are given preferential treatment over their wives. That is why you will see all these dirty small small girls having the audacity to threaten their wives!! Very common with men who marry to please the society and for kids only. The Op is one of them. And the poor women who innocently marry these men would be wondering what went wrong. They would frequent this section for advice not knowing that they got married to men who married for the wrong reasons with the wrong mentality of marriage. 6 Likes |

What I think most ladies are missing here is the point that working because of one's children doesn't stop the fact that the wife is automatically included. Making it a 'personal' thing by any woman to his man is quite uncalled for! You hear most women after giving birth to say two children saying they are staying in their husband's house cos of the children #weird but the fact# |

The best answer is to say you are working for your family. You are working for yourself, your wife and your kids.. But then where does feminism come in? Is your wife not supposed to be an INDEPENDENT woman? |

SirShymex: Ahh my old adversary, sir shymex, how you dey Yes oo, my dad was an Ijebu man to the core . my mum is a very industrious and successful business woman. Infact she left more of legacy for us than my dad did, may God bless his soul. You know how you men can lose your way with too much woman chasing.

Timbuktou: Not all women, sorry to say it's prob women in Nigeria AND this is because of "gender roles". iF you are saying it's her job to take care of house, home and kids and you can only help out "when you feel like it", then yes it is your job to provide ALL as well and her only to chip in "when she feels like it" shikena. You cannot have it all, everything cannot just be in your favor. 2 Likes |

Juzzybabe: But really that is a very funny statement to make, you could have said you are building a house for us. The woman set herself up for disappointment by saying working for her, I dunno it just sounds funny. She should've said working for her and their future children. Well maybe she is slaving away at home whilst he doesn't lift a finger to do anything at home. That's why she has that mentality. |
Re: For Men Only: Who Actually Are You Working For? by Nobody: 5:26am On Jan 25, 2015 |
Tstone1: Then she is right, you are working for her. Please give her that assurance oo. She is really taking a gamble, putting all her eggs in your basket! She is not building anything for herself and you are telling her the carpet can be yanked out from under her feet at anytime! |
