See mentality! You think whites are better than blacks when it comes to taking care of woman? I have been in few countries, interacted with few nationalities, i bet you are wrong.
Even if they're not better, they are surely better than Nigerian men..

I don't see myself being a house wife and neither do I see myself getting a maid to take care of the household chores on my behalf... I'd rather hire a cleaning company to send its cleaners to the house at least three times in a week to do a deep clean on my behalf while I'm at work.
Interesting

The day my wife choose to become a house wife than career woman is the day she stops becoming my wife and moves back to her father's house

Imagine nothing beats marrying a career woman especially if she works in healthcare or tech

After she had a stressed day from work , she came backs home to you and you prepare a meal for her while she takes a bath then you can give deep sensual massages that'll have her begging you to bleep her
I can bet it you are not married. You are just imagining things. She will come back tired and may end up being shagged by the boss or some colleague. I am not saying marrying career women doesn't work but I somehow find your fantasy laughable.

Your own experience nay be true but it cannot be universal or preclude the existence of a different one.

I don't believe that... I think it has to do individual differences. These ones that shoot their wives and children weekly are white men too

Make your words accurate, do you mean unmarried working-class women are promiscuous?

If your wife were like Okonjo-Iweala or Folorunsho Alakija, wouldn't you be proud of her? Being with a successful woman doesn't diminish your masculinity. Both full-time housewives and working-class women have the potential to be faithful or unfaithful. Restricting a woman from working and confining her to the home will not prevent her from cheating if she is inclined to do so. I am aware that there are many immature individuals, including women, who express senseless opinions on the internet, but it is not wise to pass judgment on working-class women based solely on what is seen online. The majority of women, whether full-time housewives or working-class, possess the ability to efficiently manage their households and cater to their family's needs.
Okonjo Iweala is an exception please, married women sleep around with bosses here in Abuja, we just finished discussing that with a woman. If the single girls are promiscuous, I think it is not even a thing to complain about.

Yes, I can.

I would prefer to work from the comfort of my home while tending to my man and kids. Can't deal with these irritating office politics and drama. Hopefully.

Some men ask their wives to become full-time housewives after marriage. However, if you are not interested in being a full-time housewife, it is important to emphasize this to your partner before marriage. This is one of the factors that create problems in a marriage.
There are many women especially in the western world asking to be housewives. Therefore, it is a matter of choice!

House wife for the first few years like 15years is not that bad.

I really disagree with you, sir. Being a housewife is a full-time profession, thus there is nothing wrong with it. As long as hubby can support his family with the necessities and keep the house safe, there is nothing wrong with a man wanting a housewife and it isn't in anyway bringing down his self-esteem

Nobody ever claimed housewives were dullards nor nonentities; they take care of the family, help their husbands, nuture and educate their kids, which makes the house functioning, which in turn makes society functional. Yes there are ways they can make money for themselves, with handskills like tailoring, hairdressing, making stuffs, baking stuffs, online business etc, they can easily earn some cash from home while building the home.

Lastly, the wife is supposed to only be useful to the hubby first and the children, these should be her top priority after God. Lets forget about modern wokism culture.
Just the way it should be said.

Full-time housewife is the most sought after profession now. Who needs stress? As long as oga is bringing home enough money, na to sit home, cook, watch TV and attend to kids sure pass. Just do a small "we love you" rehearsal to welcome him back. That's all.

I don't think you understood my posts concerning this issue.
In the Bible women also worked outside their homes and held leadership positions, they were political leaders, prophetess, midwives, cooks, musicians and so on.

Only archaic men with lowest of the lowest self-esteem imprison their wives under the guise of housewifehood.

Women are not dullards or nonentities. They have parts to play in every functional society. A real woman has to make some money for herself too.

Being a housewife means you're only useful to your husby as a copulation machine and a babies-producing device. Zero contribution to a functional society. That's bad bad.
dumbest comments from a bold ignoramus.

You do know what it requires to be a house wife? The skll in grooming children and paying attention to them and manning the home?

It's the toughest and hardest task than any career out there.

But contrary to your naive claims, I am wondering aloud how teenage pregnancies, baby mamaism, drugs amongst teens and juvenile delinquency have become the hallmark of today's world where both parents abandon their children to nannies, cretches and boarding schools.

A woman can be a housewife while the children grow to their formative years and still do side business at home and be her own boss than working her youth in one office abandoning her home she will eventually return to ruined and dysfunctional after 25/30 years when she'd have retired.

I will advise both players should learn how to MANAGE themselves very well before they decide to go into marriage proper...

Core Values of Friendship/Relationship/Marriage are very very paramount...

Don't indoctrinate anyone here.
No man wants to marry a liability.
Women should go to school or learn some skills.
Real men look forward to marrying industrious women. Not an “alabordo”(a woman who's being fed only for coitus).
Speak for yourself or better still speak using hard cold facts. What percentage of housewives today actually want to be housewives? The percentage will shock you.

Housewives who do not want to be would look for something to do. The rest actually enjoy being housewives and it's not a bad thing either. It depends on which values each family or individual prioritizes.

You should enlighten yourself and stop the stereotyping of housewives. There's more than you know

Nothing beats a hustling how wife that can afford some basic things,cater to the kids needs without depending on her husband...it beats see finish and gives you an edge.

Being a full time housewife is a curse, except she is working from home.
That's only if she's a housewife as a broke person. Housewife pass housewife. There's "housewife" and there's "Nwunye odogwu" AKA "Oga wife". grin

No time wey see finish no dey ever dey. If you have to work your head out to prove you have value, you were never valued in the first place. cheesy

Speaking from your so called experience must mean that you have married both a Nigerian man and a whileman for your delusional claim to make any logical sense... and yet you are single!

Your experience even if true, is just one out of atleast 7.5billion women.

No because I'll be working from home, let her go to office. Imagine seeing her face 24/7 grin
And what is wrong with seeing her face 24/7? You can always get an office workspace in your home if seeing her face 24/7 would be a problem so that you don't get to see yourselves always until after the day's job.

Re: Can You Be A Full-time Housewife? by Dancebreaker: 1:59pm On Jul 16, 2023
It's a matter of consensus. A couple must look at the immediate, medium and long term implications of their decisions.

Will a single income allow family expenses and investment needs to be adequately met?

How will both of them working impact on the children's welfare?

Who among the couple actually has the capacity to grow faster in their career and earn more for the family?

These and many more must be considered.

Why not dedicate "when I lay you down" by Jagged Edge to the man for having such thoughts?
