55k? You're a legend bro. That woman ain't know your worth.

Prospertochu:
My x wife left with our daughter leaving behind our sons they are triplets of 2 years and I have been sending her 5k every 2 weeks for her upkeep but she is now demanding 5k a week instead of two weeks knowing fully well that my salary is 55k and I am catering for our sons and my mother. I have told her I don't have enough to give her if she want more money she should come to collect the boys and I will be sending 25k which she declined. It is not like she is lacking foods in her mother house she is a landlady but she still want more money from me. She texted me saying If I don't send 5k by tommorow she will come and drop the twin and I have told her to go ahead. I will not send any money I don't mind her dropping her she is my child I will take care of the same way as her brothers. I am waiting for tommorow to come and see if she will drop her for real. I want to know if 5k every two weeks is too small for one child of 2 years ?

rooftops:
Let's just imagine your two years old child eats 200 meal three times daily (not sure in this economy), that is 600 daily multiply that by 14 days, which gives us 8400.
That means you are 3400 short. So she has some points.

ibechris:




What caused the problem between both of u.
Don't u think u guys are too young to be separated with these combination of children. What must have led to this?

Think about the children and their future. To be candid with u brother,5k no go any where at all. I have a 1year and 5months old son. Whose consumption varies.

If I have my way with u,I would have married that lady due to the children and their future.

But una dey fertile ooo
Chai
Triplets n twins

Karleb:
10k in a month is small sha. Try add more money and let her know the kid is her child too. She should take care of her.

Prospertochu:


We were married (low-key traditional marriage) she left because she wasn't satisfied with the money I was giving her , I use to give her 40k out of my 55k salary but still wasn't satisfied and stated starving my mother. If you go through my profile you will see that I have three more threads about this same topics.

Prospertochu:


The reason why I am giving her that amount is because she is staying with her mother who is a landlady and she is doesn't lack any foods. But I have 3 mouths to feed with 35k monthly which is not sufficient but we are managing. I don't have enough to add.

Mariangeles:


How long do you plan to stay with that 55k paying job?
Does your wife not plan to do anything to support the family?
See! Your children are fast growing, and the expenses will inevitably increase.
As it is, the 55k is hard enough to manage, how much more when your children grow older.
You have to do something to change your situation.

Karleb:


Bros, I go still blame you sha.

But this your wife, she get work?

Prospertochu:



She doesn't work

Karleb:


That's the problem.

I go forgive you for impregnating girl when you no too get money.

But it's unacceptable that you married a jobless woman. Na there you take Bleep up totally.

Try to find a better job if possible.
Tell your wife to get a job. Unless she's disabled, I don't understand why a grown up wouldn't work.
Try to get your siblings to be involved in your mother's care.

Prospertochu:


My dear u are talking like u don't live in this country and u don't know how the economy is hard nawa ooo. If things are easier for you thank God but do not blame me because it's not my fault the country is hard and am not going to do money ritual to change the situation. am trusting God he is the one who blessed me with triplets and I know he have greater plan for me. For now let me be happy with what I have for now. No situation is permanent

Hmmnnnnn.
The truth of the matter is that, this life no balance.

I got married on a salary of 50k.
As soon as I got married it was increased to 60k by my "magnanimous boss" lol. Who said, now that you are married you need more to take care of her.

It was really not easy to say the truth, I always made sure I dropped feeding money of like 25-30k. This was 13 years ago.

Then I would use part of the remaining money to pay my tithe, for transportation, extended family issue and savings.

By God's Grace I was able to start a building project at that time.
But it involved lots of sacrifice.

However to the glory of God I got a job of 150k with out station allowance of 60k, this was just 1 year after I got married.
The rest they say is history.

The most important thing is to married to your own wife, someone cut out of your own stock. Not someone who will make life hellish for you.
