Hello Nairalanders, there is an issue at hand.
I have two kids and recently gave birth to the third few months ago. It's been really difficult for me since I practically do most of the house chores... my husband is hardly around because of work.

I came down with this strange disturbing headache that doesnt go away. So I went to see a doctor and she said the headache was as a result of postpartum stress and lack of sleep.

The truth is I'm awake most of the time because of the baby or when I'm attending to other household matter. I haven't had a good sleep in a long while. So when the doctor suggested I get a house help so I can find time and sleep when shes holding the baby. I knew she she was on point. But the problem is my husband, he wouldn't hear of it, he doesn't want us to get any househelp...

I even pleaded with him and made him see reasons why I needed help, but he refused... I'm beginning to think I ended up with the wrong person because I dont understand why anyone would deliberately want to subject their wife to this kind of torture.

My kids are age 5, 2 and 3 months... I go to the market, cook, clean, i even do school run too...He's a contractor and will be travelling back to work next week.. yet he doesn't want me to get help...
You went into a marriage when you ain't matured enough. Perhaps got enticed by his money.. you lazy one! Quite if you can't cope ok!

The man is selfish and toxic, even on doctors advise he's still adamant. I didn't remember insulting him . I only used the right words for my statement.
What do u really know to have jumped into conclusions so easily? Reason bringing matters like this to this forum is fruitless most times.

Do u know his reasons for not bringing in a total stranger to his house in guise if an house help? No you don't and wait until you hear from him. His wife might know but decided to keep it away from us.

My senior sisters second son was killed bby a diabolical house help brought into their house just like that. A few months old child for that matter. His legs was broken and some locks of his hair cut for reasons best known to the witch of a house help.its nearly torn their marriage apart for the grace of God. It was kept away from me till after tthe house help has been sent away,cos I would have surely committed murder.
In my house, house help is a no no, The disadvantages far out weights the advantages.

stop acting like a kid, all your reply are absolute nonsense. So you rather watch your wife suffer just prove what? I myself don’t like maid but in this case it’s necessary for her wellbeing which should be understandable.
And you're replying like a simp. The husband made it clear he doesnt want a maid and the least she could do was ask him if she could bring in a relative or sister to help around . Her coming her to reporting his decision is equivalent to usurping his authority and seeking validation

It's important to remember that even though this man may be wicked and selfish in your opinion, he is still someone's husband and likely the love of her life. He is someone who is respected by his wife and they have committed to spending their lives together.

Regardless of what may be going on in their marriage, insulting him will undoubtedly affect his wife's feelings, so it's important to be mindful of that. Respect him for her please.

This is not just about a disagreement between a boyfriend and girlfriend or two politicians, but rather a married couple who have made a commitment to each other.
God bless you my brother.

Hmm that your wife is strong ooo maybe she has spiritual househelp. But it's good you are helping out sha, but ain't you tired of doing all those things by yourself? It will affect your input in other areas

It is sad that there are men who don't realize that taking of a baby in itself is a full time job.

It is best you bring this matter up with your parents and in-laws. Let them be the ones to talk sense to your husband.

I would also suggested if you could, abandon the kids with your husband for a full day and let him see what you face. Hin eye go clear.
By the way, who’s going to pay for the house help?
I think they should switch places for maybe a year. Jesus Christ!
It’s not like the wife has a job o. She didn’t mentioned she is working. She only has 3 kids, 2 of them probably goes to school everyday. You think making money is easy Abi!
Re: My Husband Doesn't Want Us To Get A House Help by okoloto: 4:05pm On May 10, 2023
Marriage have stages. This stage you are in now is one of the most stressful especially for the women. Consider also the baggage that comes with house helps. Most times it doesn't end well even as you or husband relation as a house help. Younger folks are no longer what they use to be in the past.
Why I said marriage comes in stages is because if you can plan yourself out now, very soon the kids will be helping in house chores and won't be as demanding as they are now.
Unfortunately your husband is not always around to help out. However it is a thing two of you will reason together and find solution. It doesn't mean he is being wicked. Most times men see handling the home as the woman responsibility and so see the wife as lazy if she is not meeting up. Because most of them don't really see that house work is even more stressful than daily paid jobs.
In all you can convince him for a visiting house help. Wishing you luck.

You said he is wicked and selfish, even though you have not heard his said of the story. I don't know how old you are, whether you are single or married. There is great complexity in family life; it is not wise to quickly judge people base on one sided information. Why is her relatives and the husband relatives not helping out? Saying no at first does not mean he can not change his mind. He may say no because he know the type of wife she is. I don't no, may be he is wicked, but it is not for us to judge when we don't have the complete information. You said you are the great. Greatness come with wisdom. Wisdom require complete knowledge before forming an opinion. The Yoruba are very much aware of this pitfall when they said, " an elder that pass judgement base on the information provided by one party to a quarrel is a wicked elder"

To be honest with you, she is very strong.

As for me, it does not affect me in anyway as I resume work 8am and once I leave the house by 6:30am before 7am I am already in the office.

You dont want solution, I guess you just want to complain.

You have given a background info on why you need a maid but you havent told us the REASON your husband does not want a maid.

The solution lies in knowing why your husband doesn't want a maid. When you know the reason, then you MIGHT be able to address his concerns.

Your husband could have been molested by a maid or knew someone who was molested by his maid

Maybe a maid destroyed his parents marriage or a relatives marriage and he swore never to have one himself

maybe he knows his weakness and as such, doesn't want any temptation staring him in his face daily.

The list goes on

At this stage, a help is needed.
Men are selfish and egoistic in nature( inbetween am a man) but for the love of God if your reasons are genuine, why punish your wife because of your myopic believe.
Kindly call your mum to come stay with you to help you ease some stress out.
For the record, post-partum is one of the leading risk of maternal-mortality.

Coming from a mature woman.?

I want to believe in your case, reason doesn't warm emotion, it is the other way around. That your
position in this matter is suggestive( calling the head a home wicked etc) is disheartening.

Perhaps, the wife should ask why is her husband objecting the request. Instead of fanning the ember of life time woes. Advice the woman in manner that won't make her destroy her home in flash of uncontrolled emotion.

We know the times, and don't pretend to be ignorant.

We were seven in my family, and my mother never had house help. This get just 3 he wan collect house help because doctor said. Make she go marry the doctor na

So she should continue till she collapse, why must everything be centred on replacement as if her life depends on the marriage. Anyways if you marry someone who has sense and affectionate he'll even be the one to suggest a help because he won't be blind to your struggles in meeting up with the homefront.
See how you're insulting someone's husband. That's wickedness! I don't blame the woman that came here for an advise.

You are around and helping a lot but in op case her husband is rarely around she does all alone...some of these people ranting may have grew up with an extended family or even a help in their homes... physical strength is not the same when it gets to a point you are losing it you speak up there is no award for the strongest woman...a man that will cheat will cheat with or without maid

He's very selfish. And I know he can't do half of what you do every day. Men can't in general.
All I can say is don't over burden yourself with work in other to finish it a day. You can create a timetable and work with it.

Lastly teach your kinds how to clean up esp the 5years old after playing/eating it helps you too. If possible do it with a rhyme and sing with them while cleaning.
