veave: To be honest, children grow very fast these days. 9/10 years can run little errands and it saves stories that touch. As long as they don't maltreat her. |

Tomtomy98: Now is the time to tackle it Sit her down and let her know that, the shop was opened because you can't predict the future of your own job Give her up to 3/6 months and sit her down again, then presents the topic to her and ask her to choose among the list of family needs, the one she will take up as her contribution Don't be shy, it won't make you loose your ego, you are only teaching her how to be responsible incase of the unexpected |

chii8: I detest hypocrisy. The people so fast to dish out this advice are the ones the would request maids at any lil thing. Having a house help is not a bad thing as long as her age is considered in tasks and she's not maltreated or exploited. 6 Likes |

bendazum: I understand you perfectly but I gave out that advise because I know it's workable, I have 4 kids, between the ages of 10 to 4years, I don't have any househelp, meanwhile I'm also a secondary school teacher.They are young couple trying to balance their spending, so the reason I wrote that.The man understood my point and that's all that matters, have a great weekend dear. 2 Likes |

Manage any money you want to give your wife for one or two months first. And for Christ sake, get a condom and stop breeding till your finances normalize. Your kids hasn't started school yet and we are calculating feeding money, huh.... What happens when they do? Zip up and double your hustle. |

Zip up and double your hustle @ the bolded, this isn't necessary, just give him your advice and move on. @op like someone said before 10 to 15k a week should be ok if properly managed. 2 Likes |

Tomtomy98: There is nothing wrong in asking an 11 yr old child to wash plate, sweep the house and run small errands meant for her age. If she doesn't assist in these little things what else will she be doing in the house? Even my 4yr old daughter runs little errands e.g bring spoon, water and broom etc. The only thing I don't like is the use of the word "maid." Send her to school, ensure that she is not being maltreated etc. As for your question, I have almost the same family size as yours (3 kids, 3 adults) and live in owerri. I give my wife 40k per month for food stuff and like additional approximately 20k within the month for cooking of soup, stew etc. To cut cost. Encourage your wife to avoid buying things from the street as their prices are often inflated. Let her buy items from the market and in quantities that will be enough for the month or wk. Running a family in Nigeria is difficult. You spend on virtually everything. Aside giving wiffy feeding money, you spend on gas, fuel, medicals, recreation, school etc |
