I have a little poultry and my wife helps me to sell the eggs within the neighborhood.

She insisted that I must pay her 100 naira for every crate she sells. I said she should accept 50 naira but she refused and said I should sell my eggs myself.

My people is this normal?

It's not an easy answer.

Financial disagreements in relationships are normal. Whether she is right or wrong is subjective. Especially to how the proceeds of the sale are treated. Is it a family business? Do both of you decide what to do with the money acquired from the business? Things like that will determine if she sees the business as yours or as the family's.

The amount of time and effort she puts into selling the egg is also an important factor.

I understand how you feel, but I think you should, in this case, separate business from family. The inability to do this is what has ensured several family businesses never leave the ground.

If you eventually take her offer, I suggest you set a metric for her to meet in order to be eligible for her commission. Something that would ensure that it is profitable enough for you.

Something such as. < x crates a day #50 commission, if >, 100 commission.

All in all, try to put both of your grievances down and find a compromise that will benefit you both.

Each relationship different . I’ll tell you a personal story .
My SO. Works and is a professional so money isn’t the issue . However, due to the fact that I have a side hustle, I can’t do some house chores like doctors appointments or take out the trash or make meals on my designated days. Or even wash the dishes so what I do is I pay her a certain amount of money to compensate when side hustle clashes. She is happy and so am I .

Cajole her that profit needs to be reinvested in the business and to take the N50. Or N75
It isn’t that she doesn’t love you but you pay yourself and don’t pay her . She works for you yet you don’t pay her like a worker. It’s also a way for her to have some financial liberty to get something for her family or herself.
So to answer your question - in my opinion it is.

Your real issue isn't that she is asking for money but that she is asking for more than your cheap arse is willing to pay, right?

If you had had to hire an employee to man this business of yours, would you not have had to pay market value for the service in question?

she gets same amount you give to outsiders, and thats for her personally nothing to do with the family....if possible she sees little more interest than outsiders

Bro, 100 Naira is fine.

Don't see it from your perspective. Rather, see it as a win-win for both of you.

She try wella by giving you the money and keeping 100h.

Let's be reasonable here. A crate of eggs goes for about 1500 naira if I remember quite well. Your wife is asking for 100 naira for each sale. I don't think she is being unreasonable.

She is your wife and not your girlfriend for God's sake. Emphasis on the WIFE.

It's not everything you bring to social media bros.

It's like it's been months since you bought egg last. A crate of egg goes for between 2,800-3,000 depending on the size.

@ topic.
I don't see how this should be a problem to you. You're the one who needs to shift grounds here. She's working her àss off to sell your eggs, and you want to pay her N50, what do you want her to use N50 to do?

If you feel the N100 she's asking for is too much, you can either increase your crate price so as to cover the N100, or stop her from selling your eggs and do it yourself.
