See question! You should ask where it's a rule for a man to pay the children's school fees, house rent, food and supplies , etc. Abi you heard from our papas and their papas before them say Na women dey pay am?

I live in a 'civilised' world and it's a joint effort.


In the days of our grand father's where the man was sole provider, the women were stay at home mum's and never worked nor earned income.

I can relate with you OP being a stay at home mom but ive been married for longer than you have.

Yes, his money should be both your money but the reality is he might not see it that way and forcing him to see it from your angle won't help. Just make some of your own money and be claiming this is your money also.

If you say you are not ready to go back to work then you are going to have to live with his bickering for a while. Over a few years he might get to understand that being a stay at home mom is equally a full time job but till then, as long as you have no source of income, this is what you will have to endure.

Abusive Man. Hmmm
Answer the question now, when you were single and in your papa house, you no dey work and do house duties, why you no ask for paycheck. Now you got married and all of a sudden the things you ought to do for free are things you want pay for... hahaha..... I don't blame the man that is the price of marrying a lazy woman, I don't see a hard working woman that will complain about house duties and sit down at home for months. Get a job and have your own money and contribute to things in the home then you will know how it feels.

Sounds like you ain't in Naija? Then it would be our money, but in Naija, it's his money and yours is yours when u start making money again.

How long do you think it takes to become a liability? Site, go find a work or do some business. Make some money then observe the change.

You're lazing around seeking for self-pity. Are you talking of second job or no job at all? My sister is a teacher and a poultry farmer in port Harcourt. My mum retired teacher with a nursery primary. Sit and wait for our money. Nonsense.

Everyone is getting worked up, we're not getting value for our money and hardwork.

We should be more bothered 'bout how you can make some money, while still having time for you baby.

Modified: it seems you really want us to blame the man, and we have refused...lols. Okay, his money is una money, but you have a better idea of what he earns_ less the incessant hike in prices of recurrent expenditure from it and you'll understand why he is angry.
Have you bothered to ask what he thinks he should have achieved? Maybe he planned buying a land in 2016, this is 2017, no land-no savings. Men naturally get angry when they are not meeting their target.

I didn't advise you to jump back into teaching because the average teaching jobs doesn't pay that much. It may not give your family's financial condition the required boost. There are so many things you can do from home to earn better than the average teacher. If you really want a career in teaching, you can do certification(s) while at home, that way...you'll be relevant upon your return.

Why are you seeing this from "his money, our money" thing?
its just talk from a tired man.

The issue you should focus on is the family eating deep into his finances and he can barely save.

Have you taken into consideration how much he earns?

Do you know how frustrating it is working and having little to zero savings
Abeg tell them jooo. The only thing most women does is spending. And no questions are asked concerning what sacrfice brought the money in. Thereby leading to spending without priorities.

My Man Thinks That "The Money He Earns Is His" And Not Ours

OP, why are you crying?

As if you will not be even more wicked to him if it was YOU making the money and he was depending on you. FUC.KING EVIL WOMEN. Abeg go siddon make we hear something...

Look. ANY MAN that finds himself depending on a woman for anything, will know that day the true nature of women. Evil to the core. That is why I don't feel sorry for them when they are in this sort of situation. Those who feel sorry for them are people who are still young and don't know women. Women have no conscience. They are devils. If you don't know, one day you will know.

I am a stay at home mom, for now. I was laid off from a teaching job while pregnant and decided to use this time to care for our 8months son. In the beginning there was never an issue with one persons money being his or hers it was always ours.

Now after a year and a half anything I spend becomes an issue. When we talk about money he talks about working his a.s.s off, having nothing to show for it, because I'm spending HIS money.

Surprisingly, I don't even shop. Every once in a while I may purchase something for the home or something our kid need. I'm almost tempted to go on back to work, but I would like to stay out one more year until our son is of preschool age. I don't know if I will be able to make it that long.

It just seems like when you become a stay at home mom and don't earn an income you become less than, not equal, and nothing is truly yours because you didn't earn it. Just because we are at home doesn't mean we don't work, we just don't get paid for it.

Your story is similar to my aunt's.

I used to live with her and I can say for a fact that her decision to "stay at home and take care of the kids" was because of her laziness.

I only hope that for your husband's and son case,you're nothing like that.
