The social contract called marriage. I don't envy those that have gone in/are planning to go in with "small print" included on their own contract.

ewoo no vex abeg but i will advance u that if your not financially stable enough to provide basic needs to your wife n kids  lipsrsealed lipsrsealed pls dont marriage oo
Well fortunately i can and even have enough to marry more than one if dats what's in fashion  cheesy cheesy cheesy but i chose not to act as a bank for a lady that doesn't want to contribute.

Why won't some Nigerian men disrespect their wives when it's highly expected of them to be the Man in Charge and sole provider of the relationship.

It's the 21st century and women are as powerful as us men so y'all should hold ya own in relationships.

african woman has been working for doggone years. so men on this thread, don't say it like na today the thing start, abeg!!

i hate to think that they want a woman who will help them to pay bills and take care of their mortgages tongue. a lady's money should be for taking care of herself and help  tongue sometimes. not to help you take care of your responsibilities  tongue

Let the cry of double standards be put to rest when men have it their way then. grin


But seriously balance should be sought for in this area as in all things. It is selfish to think that one party deserves to be taken care of by the other. Nuff said

And why shouldnt the man's money be to take care of himself and help sometimes also and not to take care of your responsibilities.

Unless you are saying that you are intellectually inferior to the man and he can think and make money while you cant

In my home, my husband should take care of me, but in my place of work, I expect to receive the same treatment as my male counterparts! cool cool cheesy

Its amazing that some women don't find that line of reasoning selfish or materialistic.

Family values are being destroyed in many ways. From within and without  sad

It's not really about telling your wife not to work honey . . . more like not making a big deal out of it if she decides not to work! undecided

You know a working wife is perpetually on a double shift . ,   because after work, she goes back home for shift 2!

It's not about being 'intellectually inferior' but about shared responsibilities!

If my husband will rather hold up the home front while I work and bring in [b]all [/b]the cash, I'll be happy to trade places!  undecided

What I don't however subscribe to is a man maintaining his 'manly front' and yet contributes just 50% of the finances. That's sheer cheating!  undecided

Now tell me if a woman thinks this way why should equal amount be spent on the education of a male and a female child when one thinks all she can do is to leech on the other?

Why not educate her on how to be a better leech?

Whats the use of getting an education when all life ambition still revolves round milking another human being who has the same intellect and education as you?

Ain't you assuming that every woman wants to/will get married   undecided

If she has to make a choice b/w building her career and raising a family, she should be allowed some slack abeg!

Personally, I have to work to survive, but if I change my mind tomorrow and decide to be a full time HW instead, I don't need some guy whining about it!

Good question.

What is this talk of maintaining a "manly front"? Don't such  lines of thought encourage the woman to be "subservient" (something that many women rebel against) to the man?

Most educated young men this days embrace the need for shared responsibility when it comes to house chores and upbringing of the children.
It's not the money i worry about actually afterall who else is going to spend ma money if not ma family. I am more worried about the mentality clouding ya'all's reasoning.

Lol, what mentality JB?

If you feel it's your family's right to spend your money, why the hell do you think your wife shouldn't expect it

Like I said, I'm all for shared responsibility . . doesn't mean one person can't help out the other. But your responsibility is still your responsibility. . . . that's just the way I see it.

If equal amount is spent on your education and on your brother, You decide to be a HW and your brother decide to be a provider, Dont you think the money spent on you should have been better spent on some other person who would yield return and put the education to use.

Just like the parable of the talents. Most ppl educate their children so that the kids wont be dependent on another human being for survival,

Shared responsibilities means Sharing the finances 50-50 and sharing the household chores too. One cook one wash the plates, One hoov the carpet, one mow the lawn

What would your daughter think she needs to be in life? She would definitely believe that Daddy is to bring money and mommy to spend daddies money.

What a parasitic mentality
