champions league is played Tuesday and Wednesday except the finals which come up on Saturdays.

Premiership is played during the weekends except on special occasions that Tuesdays and Wednesdays are used just as this week.

It was all kind of funny, your reply.


NB: No other game is played once the champions league is on in Europe. Try it and get fined.

Personally I can't sit at home because that would not only render me penniless but it's also boring.

I can't imagine myself sitting one place and not going out to contribute my quota towards the making or destruction of the world. cool cool cool

Don't worry, she will drop pocket money for you.

As for sitting too long, you can join a support group that plays football every Saturday. Keeps you in shape

why are most men always happy even when they have liability for a wife? why should the roles change just because a woman becomes the breadwinner? the truth is most women cannot handle success without being arrogant & disrespectful.

the money he makes is their money.
the money she makes is her money.

When a man is the sole breadwinner in most cases, he becomes controlling, talks down to her, makes her beg 4 every little thing, feels like she has no right to question him etc. Besides I don't think becoming arrogant and disrespectful when success comes in is a 'woman' thing, it's a 'human' thing.

Am not married so I don't give marital advice.

Sanctification was what Christ prayed for his disciples in John 17:17 even after they were born again. It makes you more like Christ and possess that silent attitude just before the Cross. You think a mere mortal can do that for others ? That's what it entails.

To the issue at hand. Household chores regardless of whom will be a walk in the park for both party instead of throwing it overboard if they are both sanctified and heaven conscious.

Hope you get it

I get it

Lol!

You know, If people applied their religious beliefs to their daily life, This world would be a better place.

Living the life practically.

It is absurd you see Fire speaking Christians supporting adultery or other stuffs you know are clearly wrong.

I am sure 90% of the people on NL who believe all men cheat. are either Christians or Muslims which both detest adultery

its because am really engaged now so I hardly confront people. Whenever I see justification for things religion condemns by adherents, I begin to wonder which way forward.

Not to say that there aren't women who behave badly whether they are the breadwinners or not but the pressure on bread winning women to take so much more than they can naturally bear in order not to upset the already fragile ego of the man is too much.

A typical house wife won't have problems doing what needs to be done on her own end to keep the home running and it is only right she does so but how many husbands are willing to take on the other responsibilities while the wife makes the money? They exist i'm aware but not that many.
Well hopefully they will keep increasing in number so that we have less stressed wives everywhere.


The stereotypes and bias whipped up against bread winning wives already puts them in a tough place as even without any bad attitude on her part,she's already being given the evil eye.
Everybody ready and waiting to pounce on her because they have already decided she will misbehave even before she does so.

The things I do and say now,I probably won't be able to get away with if I were a sole bread winning wife.

Ha. The conclusion would be that I get mouth because I'm making the money.
So basically such ladies can't really be themselves without being judged.

Walking on egg shells all the time.
It is not fair.


so true

I think some men are ego-driven and confuse. In an African society(Igbo culture), a man is suppose to be a breadwinner but when the reverse is case, he loses his respect and must accept any condition bestowed on him.


*Double standard of most men*

When a man is a breadwinner, he expects his wife to take up all the tedious responsibilities of doing the housechores. He exudes self confidence and throws bossy command around.

When a woman is the breadwinner and start exhibiting the same characteristics, they translate it as arrogance. SMH

Is something sauce for the goose ain't sauce for the gander? grin

The real fact is that men and women are all humans, and pride is there(our) thing. It takes an individualism to control his/her pride.

Exactly

this household chores is a worldwide debate not only in Nigeria whether the man works or not. With all this petty fights over what and who to what is becoming boring...

To each his own..

I believe that lack of sanctification is the cause of petty issues been thrown overboard.
I'm telling you.. To each his own...all these arguments on who does this and that make marriage look like some battle ground, my husband must do this, my wife mustn't do this bla bla bla.....whatever works for both of you please... when two people who genuinely love themselves are involved, petty issues like this won't come up because each knows just what to do at every point in time as they both have each other's happiness as priority....

My dear with total sincerity, men handle success better than women.

Success intoxicate women. The male child has been trained as a leader by both d mum & dad. It would be an aberration for a male child to wash dishes in a house with female. The male child is expected to emulate his dad, while female, their mum. The society plays a significant role in our lives, & the society recognise the wife & female children to be the cook in any family.

For example, I'm d 4th child, d first is a girl, she's married with kids, but whenever she is at home, maybe on holiday or any celebration, she does all the d house chores & cooking, because she had a good upbringing. So u don't expect me to get married tomorrow & cook for my wife, even if am idle, I will never do it.

Personally, I think God designed it that way, it's a God given role to women, in marriage, it's generally acceptable for a woman to cook, do house chores, is her natural responsibility. That's why most successful restaurants are managed by women, because it's related to cooking, washing dishes. Though I know most women deplore this culture, but in a realistic sense, it's more acceptable by d general public.

U as girl won't be happy if u visit your brother to find out that he's d one doing all d house chores & cooking, while d wife sits on a sofa watching TV. Though women have been agitating for equality, the obvious God made domineering power of a male cannot be overshadowed by d weak characteristics of a female.

In marriage, it would be better if women are in charge of anything that has to do with d kitchen & chores, regardless of her financial status, the man's involvement can be episodic. A man is man, d male natural responsibility is to cater for d family financially, & if he fails, he resort to frustration, because he has failed. Subjecting him to doing house chores will only compound his failure as d breadwinner.

This will only escalate issues. there are certain things that doesn't befits a man, I don't know why women are finding it difficult to accept this natural/cultural Phenomenon.
