Your wife has another job aside the shop? Why can't she manage her shop by herself?
Restrict your daughter from going to the shop. If your wife is not ready for the business, then, let her close the shop!

Looking for the correlation between the failed investment and the problem...


BTW is the daughter not her daughter too? Why is she treating her badly?

A girl of 10yrs is not supposed to be subjected to such torture as it will affect her mental stability

You can visit your inlaw and get it settled for the sake of your daughter

Another option is convincing her to arrange for he to be in a boarding house for her secondary school

If care is not taken, that girl will grwo to hate the mother

Last option is for you to be in the shop when you are free so that she can read her books

But make haste so that you get an income and take decisions at home

Women can be authoritative when the man is down

Just be careful in handling it in any way it goes

A ten year old girl is too young to be managing a shop when she can be studying or watching educative televison. Insist that your wife closes the shop or manages it herself.

You are the head of the family...no need for long story. Simply tell your wife to find a sales girl or man her shop herself. At the same time, tell her the little girl is no longer allowed in the shop until further notice. Final!

Even if she's the one putting food on the table now, you are still the head of the family biko.

I don't understand why parents still beat their children like they're thieves.......

Define those boundaries for her....let she not beat her again....Its cool for your daughter to go to the shop, but let your wife not beat her....if she's got a problem let she settle it peacefully with your daughter.....by beating her, it doesn't solve any issue.....

The correlation is that he lost control of his home. When you don't bring money in, a typical Nigerian wife misbehaves and suddenly cant continue to be submissive.

You have to make her, to change her mindset
Maybe she's among the school of thought that believes beating children is the only way....Am not saying beating children is bad but the excessiveness of it

Make her understand that times has changed...she can melt out punishment to the girl if she's faults cos if she continues the girl will get use to it and probably challenge her authority one day...

And please don't make the correction in the presence of your daughter....and as for you keep showing her love never talk down about your wife in the presence of your daughter
