Y do people keep bring up Day care when the 1st issue is about Parental care..

How would u feel ur neigbour is been referred to Mummy by ur kids nd you become Aunty...

Day care, I didn't say neighbor care.
So if parents work all day and their kids are kept busy all day too and they reunite during the eve and enjoy their family time,you still ain't call that parental care or whatever ?

Sure day care would be ideal if they come in on time, but parents who come in by 11pm, will the Day care be open till then nd most importantly kids need parental grooming.

How would u feel taking ur child to day care, on getting there he/she calls out on a staff Daddy...
hmmmmmM! It's only in nigeria u see dis..... Me y wat kind of work n nigeria parent's wil work till 11pm? undecided I doubt. Evritn is all abt planning

It's some they have to seat down and talk about,in my own opinion the man should resign but not to seat at home,they can open a business close to the house that way the man will have flexible time. he can take the children to school and pick them up after also do some other things.

On my way home but this topic came up.

This family have got 2 kids and the kids lack parental care because the man and wife come in late.

The issue of Nanny is out of the option because they don't trust nannies and someone must resign to take care of the kids..

The problem here is that the wife earns four times(400%) the man's salary and the ladies salary goes a long way to sort the family expenses.

Please who do you advise to resign.

Every argument must not be settled by this your entrepreneurial epistle. Have you checked the entrepreneur success rate in our clime? Na dem borrow money from paid folks pass. Entrepreneurship is not a bullet for all crimes. Try and be a bit more open minded. Paid employment is not a crime irrespective of what all those motivational speakers tell you.
ok good...I don't listen to motivational speakers, they speak to make money juSt like pastors who move people with their words hence...more money.
Any entrepreneur who borrows money isn't a good planner, I'm still an undergraduate but an entrepreneur...my elder sis runs a blooming business, her masters and a paid job. it takes a great employee to be a good employer/entrepreneur...you don't jez run into a business and start borrowing, you raise your capital and plan for both gain and loss...that's business.
That's the reason my advice was based on both not quitting "just yet" but to raise capital. Myles munroe once said..."sell what sells and you'll make money" now what sells is usually based on your environment. in the north you see hausa men like ten on the same street selling the same things but they still make their money, why...they sell what sells. Even I myself would love to be an employee after I graduate...to pursue a career but it won't stop my being an entrepreneur.

P.S: we have the same views on the so called motivational speakers.

They could both put money together and start a business for the husband
A very good one at that, while he looks for another job that is not as demanding, say working in the Ministry or smething

D woman should resign and start a business, d woman can keep d house or destroy d family plan, d man is d head of d house, no amount if salary is small, only management. If d man is not working and coming home is money is not a man. D children need there mother more than father.

If I was then man I will resign and take care of my kids. If my wife doesn't respect me then I will know how shallow she is and treat her so. Will also use that period to learn some other computer skills. These are my kids not another's will sacrifice my career and possible emasculation for them.

Are u saying day care operates till 11pm..

Do u know it's a sin for a man not to provide for his family?
The Bible says such man is more than an Infidel.
u are wrong, the bible passage u referred to did not mentioned man,


1 Timothy 5:8 KJV: But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. .

I think the husband should resign. Both of them should turn the situation to their advantage.

With financial support from the wife and the extra time the man has, he should start going into personal business,
for example; exportation or importation business, agrobusiness etc.

He can start by going for training and workshops and try to develop skills in the line of whichever business he chooses.

This is a very sensitive period in their Family life, it can break or make the Family.
The wife should be really careful in dealing with the husband and be ready to support him as he finds his feet. Starting a new business isn't easy.

He as a man should also be ready to endure and tolerate a lot awkward situations.

Once he can scale through the first two years of the situation, himself and his Family will be the better for it.

If the bible told us eve was sent as man's helper, the man certainly is the boss, who does the major work while he get assistant from his wife..

So it's the man's function to provide for his home..

The truth be told, it's only A lazy man that allows his wife cater for the family..

Both the father and mother have equal responsibility over their children. Agreed, childrearing absentees can breed disfunctional children but so does poverty. You cannot put your kids through that.They will be the ones to curse you and move out of the home before they clock 18. In nigeria, the most important decision you can make for your kids is to secure a good future for them so they have what to fall back on when things get tough given the increasing number of joblessness. I will not advise any of them to quit their jobs except one of them has an alternate option that will create more time for the kids while he/she retains his/her 'life' outside the home.

Thank you love, I dunno why they all twisting things and making it seem like ladies are less human.

What's wrong if she's the top earner?
Mark my words, "any man intimidated by a lady's ability,influence and success,is a disgrace to the human race"
It's pathetic most Nairaland males are less of a man. sad

All I can say is that I love you for your sense and wisdom.
Funny Hw pple say the man should abdicate his role as the Man of the house and resign because of money.
As long as it's a paid job they can loose their jobs at any time.

Its the woman's duty 2look after the children. But since working is all about the money & the woman earns more, then the man may consider resigning. Probably start up a biz dats less time consuming.

Alternatively, they should consider getting a nanny. Its a gamble I agree, but they may just be lucky to get a good one. Day-care is another option.
