Yinka is a banker while his wife, Funsho, is a journalist. By virtue of their jobs, the two of them close late . They’ve been married happily for two years before trouble reared its head in their home. That was when the children started coming. Yinka suddenly realized that his wife must come back home early to take care of their two children as their housemaid has given notice of her leaving at the end of the month.

The pressure is on Funsho at home and her office as her editor is always on her neck to deliver. Now the bombshell Yinka wants her to quit her lucrative job, and by implication, her budding career to take care of her children. This is a job that took her several years of job-hunting to secure. She was not sure the job would be waiting for her when she decides to return. She is at a crossroads.

Many men are asking their wives to quit their jobs to take care of the children and for other reasons that range from perceived infidelity at the office and health grounds. If you were in this situation, what would you choose? Your home or your job?

If the person be MILLIONAIRE and can afford my lifestyle---- certainly, will gladly stay home.

I want N100,000 in my account every month

^^^^^pere
o ti e le lol

yea---- lol. thats the pocket money na---plus, weekends in London, Rent paid for, Money for food and clothes, then my 100k, just wake, sleep, and spend---i live a simple life so its good enough.

It's a tough thing to do, but it shouldn't be permanently - we know things can change easily and a well off husband can develop financial problems without warning.

As always, couples should discuss matters like these before even getting married, or at least quite some time before the decision is made.

if my wife is bringing in the cheddar, I'll gladly stay home and look after the kids - I love changing nappies and giving rides on my back.

Yes.

Nothing can make me to quit my job, as long as i know i am not doing anything wrong.
But if i have always look for how to quit and she wants me to quit and face biz 100%, i surely would.

She is a career woman. She will resent him eventually. I would suggest that they both plan it so she can start some sort of business if she is open to it. She can build that around the children and be available for them when needed. I think that is a better compromise

^^^ so what do yu think will happen to the man, if the biz doesnt go the way it shd.
It is always better to allow someone to make her decision, u cld help oh, but dont force it

Hi,

I can say it is difficult but we make sacrifice most times

I was in similar situation about this time last year

Well i had to quit but thanks to internet marketing

I still make my own money.

Just take stock of your life and set priority

Cheers

great advice from Kemi
