Did someone actually say a housewife can open her own business?

Then she wouldn't be a housewife. She'd still be busy with her "work". so, scratch that.

This thread has really given me some food for thought

Thats the whole idea,

Wow!! Now I am really scared of getting of married especially to a Y2K compliant babe.

A simple request like "Please honey I beleive that my earnings can cater for the upkeep of this family, so could you please quit your job so that you will have more time with the kids" and I am already hearing divorces and all sorts of threats.

To be frank, most of you ladies don't really need these careers, y'all are just looking for an excuse to leave the house in the morning, hang out and gossip with your mates, feel like co-providers _{(even though you earn just alittle above minimum wage)} and finally feel like independent women _{(When in all honesty, you aint shit without us men)} .

Now if lets say you work in a multi-national company were you are rolling with the big shots, it would be pretty inconsiderate of your husband to ask you to quit your job _{(even with a reasonable reason)} , but if you are just a bloody secretary, whose work description includes making tea, xeroxes and taking minutes, then like hell you must quit your job.

I'm sick of hearing Nigerian women trying to talk the yankee independent woman talk. If your husband askes you to quit your job and you don't, don't bother about proceedings, custody hearings or alimony, your ass would be out the door faster than you can say career.

I respect women who have built reasonable careers such as Politicians, Bankers, e.t.c. but when a man speaks, his word is LAW.  

Why are men intimidated by successful women

And this is why i would have never ever in your wildest dreams picked you to be my husband.

My husband is boss in our house but he does not wear the title around his neck.

Dear, its not a matter of boss or nothing. Its just a matter of being reasonable.
Housewives raised most of us in this room.
My mum had two degrees, Business Admin, and Law.
She planned her career in such a way that it never got in the way of her spendng time with us. I had a troublesome childhood, and if it hadnt been for the fact that she had an eye on me at virtually all times, I would prolly be somewhere around one of y'all houses plotting to rob you tonight.

Being a housewife isnt a bad thing you know.

So you women are will to sacrifice your family for a suit and briefcase.

You will be putting it to good use alright. Like helping the kids with their homeworks, calculating the bills and shit like that.

Is that your problem?? Your degree!
I cant believe this.  

tope2000:

It's not slavery. . . .
Stacks of dough in your account. . . . .Just stay at home and make hot beans for me before i come back from work.

Where are these 21st century babes coming from??
Why can't y'all be like our great grandmothers.

They were un-educated besides they filled their heads then with this non-sense 2

Okija_juju:

Wait!! Wait!! Hold up dear!! Who paid for who in this marriage?? Who is bearing who's name?? Hells yeah my word is law. Its a Mans world hun, deal with it.

No, you wait.
I still can't believe what I read on NL last week; The bride's family pays for the wedding.
So, boy, if you ain't paying for that wedding, she's actually buying U.

And I hope you know that your wife can easily retain her last name in the marriage.

Your words are not LAW, but you may continue to believe so. Respect is 50:50. It's not a one-way traffic, now if you chose to demand respect from her by the cliche "my words are law", then baby, divorce will be rolling down your lane in a SUV

~Sauron~:

since u wan pple to be like our great grand mums of those day,why dont u live in d village,hut ooo,walk on foot or village bicycle,wear old fashioned clothes break and chew palm nut for food,and be like our great grand fathers

Oh NO HE DIDN'T!
Someone tell me Okija was on crack when he posted this.
Even if I'm bearing his name. . . will my parents spend so much money to train me to this level and I'll make use of it catering to one useless insecure pig?
No woman is a property of any man. Your word is your law in your house, fine!
But let's see if the woman is "wise" enough not to cheat on you out of absolute boredom.

@victorian
Those men get serious issues me i can't even marry a woman who plans to be a housewife in the first place, we should compliment each other lol both of us working means more money in circulation and the kids go to better schools wear better clothes and more importantly have their parents to look up to especially if i had a daughter i would want her to grow up with the belief that she doesn't need any man

~Sauron~:

The part where Sauron was begging for food?? Thatz a blatant lie.

We didn't say Sauron begged . . . we said he walked out
but thank God for Tope who intervened.
Hmmm::::::.Tope gave you more?
Becareful whatcha say . . . for any and everything you say can be used against you
. . . .  I know Tope wouldn't want such a scandal being that she's *Nairalandly* hooked.
