And why will the man consult with his wife before he invest his money?
Because they are one, a team, a family. That's how it has been done in my family since generations. You can do it however you want or even better remain single.

I see men/boys write on NL how they can never disclose to their wives how much they make. I always wonder what kind of people have this kind of a marriage. If you can't trust your wife with everything, why get married to her? undecided

Why should a man consult some wife before buying a gift for his mother?

The wife is never family, she can go anytime she wants (especially when the man is broke and sick) but a mother will stick with her children no matter what.
Are you married?

Were your parents not each other's family?

I don't know how you run your family but I am my husband's family and he is mine. Chances are very high it will be me taking care of him in old age rather than his mom. undecided

As for your first question, a man should consult his wife and vice versa because they are one, a team, a unit, and surprise .... a family. You can split everything in your marriage, we run a joint account, own properties together, plan for our kids' future together, retirement etc. If I wanted to do all of this alone, I would have remained single.

When I mean depend on my son, I mean for survival, for my daily bread. Of course as we grow older, we need help.

Many men are quick to point out that the money is the husband's money and not hers. So will he only respect her if her money is involved. [/b]People need to grow up. [b]So if the husband is out of work and she is the one with the money, I guess she can buy a car for her dad.

I just wished people would reason clearly.

Exactly o. You can't be married and still manage your finances as if you are single. The wife should have been in the know about the purchase.

But if the man did it without telling her, it's because he knows he's not totally right and he didn't want his wife to object.

Many men do not understand that when they get married, their wife and family become their first responsibility even before anyone else.

My husband told me how his father protected his mum from his family and put her first. His dad bought things in her name. So when we got married, my husband told his mum that she should not expect him to be any different. That he learnt from his dad. So he does the same.

You can't enjoy that kind of privilege from your husband and expect your son to do the same to you and neglect his wife. Marriage is not just a physical thing, it's the unifying of two souls.

I don't pray to be a mum that depends on her son, thereby causing trouble between my son and his wife. My mother never did it. I pray never do it too.
1st bold
Exactly!

2nd bold
At some point you could depend on your son due to old age which is the natural course of things and I pray we have daughters and sons in law who will treat us like their own parents but demanding cars from them when they have a young family to look after is a totally different thing.

It all boils down to communication and transparency. A marriage in which a husband and wife do not run the family budget together and make all decisions together has got deeper issues.

Are they supppsed to manage finance together for money he made alone?
You can divide everything in your own marriage, even the children she gave birth to alone, breastfed alone, looked after alone when father was working. You don't have to operate as a unit, a family. Your choice.

All these pitting of wives against mothers-in-law sef is tiring. I really do think this is a fake story, all to get people talking; it's Twitter after all, but even if relationships between wives and MILs are strained - is it this bad?? Seriously?? Any and everything to make women seem like opposing forces and guess what? Most people will conveniently ease the man (the real, ever-invisible culprit and catalyst) out of tongue-lashing and start dragging the wife or mother-in-law. And not even see how this is not about buying a car, taking care of one's mother or the wife's possibly valid reaction.

Make everybody getat. All of them are not OK with their mismarriages and agenda.
Many wives have wonderful MsIL but this is not something anyone would pay attention to, right?

What I think is worse in this (fake) story is that the husband is in charge of the finances alone and all the women are at his mercy. undecided

I know of someone that did that. He resides in the US and haven't been to Nigeria since 2016.. He and his wife have a kid before he left... He told my friend(his wife) not to get involved with anyone within Ikorodu(where they live) but in case she needs to explore, she can try somewhere far and with just that person. He further said , he doesn't want to know that person. That s why i said re-orientation is better. Somethingz are just inevitable! No need to shy away from such discussion. Otherwise , your wife's action may be disgraceful , when she bleeps individuals within

There is something fundamentally wrong with their marriage and many Nigerian marriages for that matter. It always baffles me how a husband or wife will not consult with their significant other before doing a major investment. If you do not run your family budget together, you aren't one and probably never will be.

Hathor my gal - this cracked me up real good cheesy NL and some users be making me laugh today which is a good thing.
It's good to see ya happy. smiley kiss

I don't think you or the couple in the picture are being woke. Children mirror and imitate what they see, if they see warmth and affection while growing up they'll demonstrate it. If they see domestic violence, insults and bullying they demonstrate it as well.

Is it any wonder that abusive men/women have a childhood background of domestic violence? As in, they grew up seeing one parent abuse and brutalize the other, so it's normal to them and normal for them to repeat such patterns.
Exactly.

Also imagine dating someone for a while, kissing, making out, getting jiggy wit it in all the places in the house grin and after the first little one arrives you have to restrain yourself. And then Nairalanders will tell me that I am not even allowed to kiss my own husband because it will make my three-year-old promiscuous.

Let me be woke in peace please. cheesy

If it is a simple kiss, it's ok.

If it is a French kiss, no.

OK....I understand that you have never been in that situation before that could be the reason it was easy to say... neither have I...

But picture it this way....U Built a house with your sweat... got a spouse that u lived with for 3years...
U had irreconcilable differences that made your spouse move out with your 2year old...

While seeking for the custody of the child, the court ruled that u should vacate the house so that your spouse and the kid can come in because it's a better place to raise kids... that u should look for somewhere else and rent...

Are you very sure that u will be happy with the ruling?... if you are indeed sure then you are one of the rear species that is difficult to find in human race smiley...
A higher-earning spouse who does move out of the family home must expect to continue paying many of the household expenses, including the mortgage and insurance payments. This generally means the spouse who leaves will end up in a less desirable living situation. Depending on the overall picture, the spouse who stays in the home may give up money or property in the ultimate division, to make up for having had the benefit of staying in the home.

The fact that one spouse stays in the family home at separation doesn't necessarily mean that spouse is more likely to receive the house when the property is divided permanently. State laws require marital property in a divorce to be divided either equally or "equitably," meaning fairly. This usually means that one spouse will be able to keep the house only if the other spouse receives either money or other property of comparable value. Some states also consider "fault" (such as adultery or abandonment) in dividing property. Even in these states, however, many factors could be relevant, including the length of the marriage; each spouse's contribution to the acquisition of the property (including contributions as a homemaker); and each spouse's health, age, employability and other resources. Who lived in the house between the time the spouses separated and the time the divorce was ready to be finalized isn't likely to be a major factor.

In all my years in the West I have never seen a spouse lose the house without being paid off.

Khonifer:
The narrative that sex is a thing that takes from women is unhealthy and frankly, in 2021? Just tiring to come across. There is nothing wrong with having a healthy sexual relationship with a man you’re in love with regardless of whether or not that relationship will end in marriage.

Sex does not deplete a woman, there is no nectar being sucked out, it is just that - sex.

There is nothing to ‘save’ as this nectar or virginity as op refuses to call it, does not define or enhance your life in anyway. In my opinion marriage with a person you haven’t even been with sexually is very risky. As you have no idea about the person’s appetite, what’s and needs, likes and dislikes, people try to act like sex isn’t that important in relationships but it is.

I am all for getting to know your partner a full hundred percent before getting into a hopefully life long relationship with them.

I also can’t help but wonder when we women too will enter marriage and be offered nectar. Abi God didn’t give the other gender nectar??

I wouldn't put children aged 0-7 in the same category. A 1-year-old and a 7-year-old are totally different. I would not even compare a 1-year-old to a 2-year-old kiddo. They change very much and very fast in this age range.

[color=olive]Exactly. They don't care! They fvking don't! It's all just faux outrage. Let's insult this one, move on to the next. Rinse and repeat. Everything fuelled from a misogynist mind. "Ah, is it a woman? Okay. I'm not seeing the facts. As far as she get vagina, na her fault. I no wan know. She brought it on herself. It's female nature." Funniest thing is MOST of them are not even active in orphanage activities. How many times do they donate to motherless babies homes? How many outreaches in real life do they engage? They are tenaciously pro-birth, actually. It ends at eart, nor pro-life. They do not care for the living conditions of the rest of humans on earth. And last I checked, it is WOMEN that still run these foundations. Women. Caring for orphans; hosting events to donate to poor people, women and kids - both feminists and conservative women. More women are into caring professions than the lots of them sitting behind their computers and throwing half-baked logics around. Whether in cash of kind, they never help in stuff like these. But if it's to spend time watching porn, trading cocaine, splashing money on drinks, cars, in clubs and on girls -- they are always representing.[/color]

In addition to the things that have already been said up there by some people, one of the best means of disciplining a child is by first being a disciplined person yourself, and then encouraging hir to always imitate your behavior - of course, they will certainly do it with or without you pronouncing it - and showing them active and action love.

No sane child will wittingly wish to bring shame to hir scrupulous and loving parents.

Not all teens are troublesome and we need to understand that they go through a lot at this age. It's not easy being a teen.

In all these scenarios, I can see where they would like to push the line and get you very cross. That one hour earlier one is the very one that makes me lose my temper.
Because as a mother you are worried. But be assured that in most cases they do not do it to upset you but rather because their head is in the clouds at this age. It helps to assume that they do not have bad intentions and they will either rise or lower to your expectations.

Lol! You will surely be among those castigating those who make a living out of getting pregnant and putting up the child for adoption. I agree it has its benefits and I agree it is better than abortion but just like abortion, putting up a child for adoption has the effect of helping ladies get away with terrible life choices. We need to properly educate our ladies about what it means to get pregnant, the responsibility it comes with and the implications it has for the child...it is selfish thinking you can just spread your legs, get pregnant, abort the child or have the child and put him or her up for adoption. The pharisees had one problem, they were masters of the law but were slaves to themselves and the same goes for anyone who is intent on bypassing responsibility. Abortion and adoption are both not necessarily bad under the right circumstances but when both become a ploy to escape responsibility it becomes evil!
It is obvious you don't really give a hack about the consequences for the children. If you did, you would not neglect the role that boys/men play in all of this. Instead it is just the typical ranting about how ladies should not spread their legs. Do they impregnate themselves? And as always the 'heads and leaders' are absolved from all forms of responsibility when it's the male who can impregnate several females at a time whereas a female can only conceive once.
