FamilyRe: A Baby Girl,she Is Just A Week Old. by iaabc(f): 11:54am On Jan 26, 2012
Truly i no understand the thread again.

But from the little my understanding comprehends, the girl may not be out to defraud anyone really (maybe we just need to understand what she needs the extra 150k for). i don't think she would have asked ify for her account for aunty kemi to pay into if she planned to sidetrack ify and cc, considering she brought them into the picture somehow. This is still a young girl whose reasoning is still not together as it is given the circumstances.

@r231, she used 20k form the atm to pay the hospital.

^^^^has it occurred to you that this girl is probably weighed down by a lot of fear at this time and so thinking really straight is impossible? Do not judge her. She probably has someone like you for a parent, which is why she cannot go to those closest to her in her trying time.
FamilyRe: What Do You Dislike About Your Kids School? by iaabc(op): 6:32pm On Jan 19, 2012
Yes I agree with you but you know sometimes in fact make that most times, you never know until you get in. You discover all kinds of things that you wouldn't have otherwise known if you hadn't got in. So sometimes one may become displeased with what happens thereafter and we all have different tolerance levels.

My child's school for example gives too much homework and that is cause for contention even at PTA meetings where the issue has been raised.
FamilyHow Much Is A Homemaker Worth? by iaabc(op): 9:34am On Jan 18, 2012
The life of a homemaker is one that includes an endless amount of demands and to-dos. Depending on the size of the home and family, the position of homemaker can go well beyond the usual nine to five. We examined some of the tasks that a homemaker might do to find out how much his or her services would net as individual professional careers. We only take into consideration tasks which have monetary values and use the lowest value for each calculation.
Private Chef
Meal preparation is one of the major tasks of most homemakers. From breakfast to dinner, there is plenty of meal planning and cooking to be done. The American Personal Chef Association reports that its personal chefs make $200 to $500 a day. Grocery shopping is another chore that needs to be factored in. A homemaker must drive to the supermarket, purchase the food and deliver it to the home. Grocery delivery services charge a delivery fee of $5 to $10.
Total cost for services: $1,005 per five day work week x 52 weeks = $52,260 per year.
House Cleaner
A clean and tidy home is the foundation of an efficient household. Typical cleaning duties include vacuuming, dusting, sweeping, scrubbing sinks as well as loading the dishwasher and making beds. Professional maids or house cleaning service providers will charge by the hour, number of rooms or square footage of the home. For example, bi-weekly cleaning of a 900-square-foot, two-bedroom apartment with five rooms, costs $59-$124 . A 1,300 square-foot, single-story home with seven rooms runs $79-$150 . A 2,200 two-story, three-bedroom home with nine rooms averages $104-$180 . Additional tasks such as oven or refrigerator cleaning and dusting mini blinds can run an extra $20-$25.
Total cost for services: $118 per week X 52 Weeks = $6,136 per year.
Child Care
Homemakers provide full-time, live-in child care. This type of service from a professional provider would usually come with a host of perks including health insurance, paid vacation and sick days, federal holidays off, dental and vision coverage, and bonuses. The International Nanny Association's 2011 survey found that nannies make $600 to $950 per week in gross wages, on average.
Total cost for services: $600 a week plus perks/benefits x 52 Weeks = $31,200 per year.
Driver
A private car service might seem like a high-end luxury to most, but the beneficiaries of a homemaker get this service on a daily basis. Companies like Red Cap, which provides personal drivers that use the client's own car as the means of transportation, offer a glimpse into the cost of this homemaker task. An elite membership which includes 365 days of unlimited, round-trip service is $1,000 a year plus 33 cents - $2.03 per minute.
Total cost for services: $1,000 per year + [(estimated miles driven 8000 miles / 50 MPH) x 60 min/hr x $0.33 per minute] = $4,168 total per year.
Laundry Service
Clean clothes come at a cost when you have to pay for the service that most homemakers do for free. Professional laundry services charge by the pound. For instance, Susie's Suds Home Laundry Service, Inc. in Texas charges 90 cents to $1.00 a pound to wash, dry, fold, hang and steam your clothes. Items that take longer to dry such as comforters, blankets, rugs and winter clothes are assessed at a price of $12-$15 each.
Total cost for services: $0.90 per pound x 4 pounds of clothes per day x 5 days per weeks x 52 weeks = $936 total per year.
Lawn Maintenance
Basic maintenance of the exterior property is a less common, but possible duty of a homemaker. This could include things such as mowing, debris removal, edging and trimming the lawn. These services cost about $30 a week on average.
Total cost for services: $30 per week x 52 weeks = $1,560 total per year.
The Bottom Line
Total for a year of all services is: $52,260 + $6,137 + $31,200 + $4,168 + $936 + $1,560 = $96,261 per year.
The daily work of a homemaker can sometimes be taken for granted by his or her family members. However, these services could earn a homemaker a considerable wage if he or she took those skills to the marketplace. Homemakers in general contribute a lot more to the home in addition to these tasks, and no amount of money can fill those needs

FamilyWhat Do You Dislike About Your Kids School? by iaabc(op): 6:53pm On Jan 17, 2012
I know someone who has taken his son (5yr old) to at least 4 schools because he finds something or the other wrong them at some point or the other. So I am wondering, is there anything you find particularly upsetting about your kid(s) school and if you had choices would you change school?

I have never understood the reason to beat kids in schools. There can never be any justifiable reason as far as I am concerned. Beating never ever resolves anything. This should be treated as criminal offence.

I agree with MBJ on this. The only way is is straightforward. Even after you've done what you need to do, reassure him of the intactness of your friendship.
FamilyRe: Is It Wise? by iaabc(f): 10:25am On Nov 26, 2011
Just like apocalypse said, you need to evaluate your expenses against your earnings. Also factor in how much you spend on transportation against the expenses you will incur in having and maintaining a car. All those should assist you in arriving at a solution.

FamilyRe: Wife Financial Insincerity by iaabc(f): 10:08am On Nov 26, 2011
Op, your mindset with regards marriage is the foundation of your problem. You paid so much as bride price, yada yada yada. If you knew it would cause you so much gripe, you should have taken a wife from where they dash them free. Honestly until you reappraise your attitude, this will be only the least of altercations in your marriage. By the way, who told you tuface didn't wish different?

FamilyRe: Wife Financial Insincerity by iaabc(f): 11:40am On Nov 25, 2011
While I in no way support what your wife has done, issues are NEVER as one sided as we make them seem.
FamilyRe: Wife Financial Insincerity by iaabc(f): 1:40pm On Nov 24, 2011
It is very interesting to note that money issues contribute very much to the making or breaking of marriages. Funny enough while listening to the radio yesterday, this same money matter was what was being discussed. The question was would you vote for a joint account and would you want to know or demand to know how much your partner earns?
All kinds of responses showed clearly that no one has an handle on these things. However, one caller said since he'd been married for 13 years, his wife handles all the finances in the home and he has had peace with the arrangement.Some others said lailai!

I'm not saying its right or wrong, all I'm saying is everyone has their own views on this matter. All I know is your wife is your partner for life! Not someone you live with or someone who is just there sha. Many of us get it wrong here, husbands and wives alike. And until we change the way we think about our marriages, things like this will continue to happen. We should not even equate this with househelps, hanging with the boys or whatever. The critical issue here is that the husband IMO has a wrong basis for thinking the money is his own. The day he said I do, the end came to him owning himself. Wifey too, should not destroy the trust.
BusinessRe: I Need Plastic Containers. by iaabc(op): 1:39pm On Nov 23, 2011
Well, I would If I had poultry farmers close by or knew where to find them. As for the plastics, they are not sold in the market. Tried a plastic company without success too. So still waiting on anyone with useful info please.
FamilyRe: Wife Financial Insincerity by iaabc(f): 12:28pm On Nov 23, 2011
@OP, your wife is wrong to steal from you, very wrong.
However, I dare say it is your attitude to her and money that has caused what is happening to you. Until you seriously have a paradigm shift in the way you think about money in your marriage, then you will have issues.
Truth of the matter as has been said is that women have needs that must be met, even if its something as simple as buying sanitary towels. DO you seriously expect her to come to you each time? Plus she may not intentionally be defrauding you, some people will just round off the numbers without meaning to be dishonest. There are too many scenarios that could lead to why she did what she did (still not justifying her actions though).

My suggestion to this is create an account for her allowance as you both agree upon. That way, you dont have to fume over change or what she is asking you.

But seriously, you are married now, no longer a student who needs to gum his hands form his friends. This is your wife, who you have sworn to love and protect and share everything with. Start living it.

CrimeRe: NNPC Top Executive Murdered In Abuja By Her Driver by iaabc(f): 12:31pm On Nov 17, 2011
Nashville:
I can't believe what I am reading on Nairaland. A hardworking and good member of the society has been murdered and people are blaming her or insinuating it serves her right for reasons including:

1. She leaves alone
2. Polygamy
3. She was rude to a car washer

Does anyone of you know that could have been you? It shows how wicked our society is and how envious people are of successful people. This woman has done nothing wrong and does not in anyway deserve what has happened. Her reasons for leaving alone are best know to her and her family and is not for anyone to judge her and if a useless car washer bashes her car, he should fix it in my opinion.

We are not even thinking about her and the family she left behind and what pain they are going through. It is really sad for our country and government should find a way of improving safety and security of lives and property in Nigeria. The culprits should NEVER see the light of day again! PLEASE STOP JUDGING cos it could have been anyone!
