An0nimus:

Same thing I understood from the story. Oga probably didn't see it as a joke hence the cold reply. That doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't love or care for her.

The reaction by some folks here though. People don read deep meaning enter the matter.

Seun:
It's also a wake up call for your wife. She needs to work hard to make her own money since her husband isn't working for her but his children. She shouldn't sacrifice or limit her career for such a man. Also, please bro learn not to say every stupid thing that passes through your mind!

EnlightenedSoul:


Pickabeau, you know what this reminds me of?

Your thread!

I think it's rather funny that the same people who thought that was a bad idea are now applauding OP's POV, and apparent need/desire to "separate mother from child"(oh you know, ethereal nature, hallowed bonds, and what not).

Tstone1, why not go all the way, and take her (angered GF - and heck - all of womankind) out of the picture almost completely? I think you could possibly be a good candidate for this, but that all depends on how you feel. There's no hassle of accommodating a woman, just your future children Do check this out, and lemme know what you think? I'm curious.

pickabeau1:


Can't remember this thread.. Lol
What was it about

EnlightenedSoul:


Conceiving/Having 'future children' without women

If you don't intend, or want, to support a certain member of your family - only the future kids, and not the mere 'toto' they come from - what better way than this?

pickabeau1:


Oh...I remember now
Thats not my personal view anyway

EnlightenedSoul:


Oh I know, I'm JS. It seems to be the general consensus on here.

pickabeau1:


Lol

EnlightenedSoul:


It looks like the research may be of benefit to Nigerian men after all lol (seriously tho).

Anyway, I hope you're having yourself a good day. The rare afternoon nap beckons...

Chillisauce:
Thats Nigerian Men for you. Most of them are working because of their children. The wives are just used for breeding purpose. After breeding, they can decide to chase you out, take the kids and bring over another.

Meanwhile during the breeding exercise, your job function is to eat, cook , clean and breed more.

Tufiaaaakwa.

Some of them are closet gay, only to closeeye, give woman belle, then continue their run away match.

Na you sabi.

Imagine, very insensitive.

Tufiakwa i say again

pickabeau1:


Lol

I am...

About to watch a movie . Plastic
Looks fun

Will poultier....

Enjoy d nap

Funny thread

@OP: Is your wife a house wife?

SirShymex:


I cosign this. Spoken like a lady raised by Ijebu parents - me likey.

Dr. Phil the Duke of Ijebuland.

Timbuktou:


1. Nna, no such thing exists.

2. Womanology.

3. This is all women, not some, all.

Remember that little talk we had on women and logic? Let that guide your interaction with them.

Juzzybabe:

Not just a woman always being a woman bla bla bla...In the course of planing my wedding,my husband who I had dated for years surprisingly told me he had a house in progress,I was shocked,well,I said that's nice and I was like so u have been building a house for me and u kept it a secret? his response was "point of correction,not for u alone but for us all specially my unborn kids" I felt terrible about the statement and I told him I was sorry for thinking selfishly. But that wasn't right for him to have said,ofcourse he won't write his house in my name,I won't be the only one living inside,I can't claim the house tommorw without legal documents,so what's the fuss? my point is you don't have to make her feel her duty is to bear u kids alone. she's your wife and your manager, without her support your family will not stand firm.If u want to spend for the kids is she not the one u hand to money over to? so dear,you are working for your family with the support of your wife but you don't have to make her like she's not important. Apologise please.

Tstone1:


In the context of working I think 'YES'

fem29:


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.

EnlightenedSoul:


I did, thanks.

Was it any good? The last one I watched (The Theory of Everything) was a disappointment to say the least.

Tstone1:
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#

Superleo:
For me and my boyfriend.

Tstone1:
Earlier today an argument ensued between my woman and myself about how workaholic I have become in recent times. She later joked about me being serious with my job cos am working cos of her. I told her NO! And to her greatest surprised I let her know am working for the sakes of my children unborn not necessarily her. She became very angry and said she was highly disappointed by my statement.

I felt this shouldn't be an issue as have only spoken my mind. Your take on this please..
