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.
Won't you dedicate a song to the housewives we have in our society and the men that demand it of them? cool

You are incorrect.

There are some women who would rather be home as housewives, and shop for their fantasies and live luxurious lives if their husbands can afford the world.

Your conclusion that it must be a man's decision to compel the wife to be a housewife is just your level of reasoning. I know women who would do nothing even when given huge capital to start businesses. They just want to be home and stay with the kids.

A man should aspire to be so wealthy to the point that his wife finds no reason to lift a pin.

Why not? I have been attending school for over 20 years,I am tired. I need rest.

The question is ,what type of house wife?

A. To take care of kids and watch over the house. Wait for oga to bring money for house and climb you at night.

B. Housewife of a rich man. You wake up,direct the domestic staff on what to do. They performed all the choices. You go on outings,see movies and social activities during the day. You bond and play with your kids. Read them bed time stories. Pray with them. Wait for oga to return. Welcome him your warmth and care. Kneel to serve him the dinner you made and fufil your duties in the oda room.

I like plan B, not plan A
B will always be the best choice of course.

I envy my cousin who's a stay-at-home mom. Girl is living the life. Which housewife receives a 700k-1M salary per month? That's some tech-bro salary in a month. grin

Even the so-called career will take about a year of saving their salaries to get her one month upkeep. And she's very smart. Has several lands all over the Island and is even building a house. Housewife pass housewife, abeg.

Can't you people praise God. Everyday is about man, woman, wife, husband. Just do you ok. Being a housewife is good and being a career woman is also good. Both have its advantages and disadvantages based on the variables and partner involved. Happy Sunday.

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.
She will enter the office and work there

Everyone has the right to decide what they want that's preference. Some women love to stay home and raise the kids properly while leaving finance and monetary issues to be handled by their partner, some do it and still work from home and it's their cup of tea. It's very stupid and shallow to say that a house wife is only useful for sex and making babies. Raising kids is a full time job and we wonder most kids aren't functioning properly because u are probably raised by a village house help 24/7 from God knows where. Some don't even have any relationship with their parents but strangers. The greatest contribution to any society is bringing up kids the right way and this can only happen when parents and especially mothers have concrete solid relationships with the kids. Raising a family is more than providing money. Anyone can do that. But not everyone can raise kids to be right with courage, love and respect. Kids are prone to depression lately because of modern standards which debases the family unit and places materialistic values way higher. That u can't or do not conform to raising kids the traditional way doesn't mean the man who does is archaic with a low self esteem like u said. Trying to sound woke without any real substance is lower than the lowest of self worth. U need approval to feel amongst the woke and modern lifestyle while putting ur family in danger as a unit. A woman can work and be a housewife though not full term. She can be full term when the kids are still very little and get back to working after they must have grown to a certain stage. Life is a lot more fluid now. A lot of people do work from home so ur contribution is even very stupid. Being a housewife doesn't make any woman lesser than another person. It takes a lot to be a mother not just conception and giving birth. U don't go insulting others because they chose to follow their own path? Walk urs and face front!

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.
You are very right
Thanks for this piece

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
U don't even know anything... Full time career woman no get time for ur dick . Even if u get devil dick she will never be available for u 80% of the time talk more if u have a boring dick grin

Your last line ruined your comment. Raising responsible kids, if that's achieved through being a housewife, is one of the best contributions to a functional society if not the best. What's the essence of attaining career success and winding up with spoilt and useless kids who themselves end up being useless to the society?

Your comment is just your opinion. And you shouldn't try to shove it down other's throats by being overly critical of being a housewife or indirectly insulting those who prefer it.

Not necessarily dear.
If it is the woman's free choice to be a full time house wife, it is a full duty and she should be respected.

I only frown at a full time house wife that is :
1. A wife that was compelled by her husband to stay home against her wish
2. A wife that is compelled to be full time house wife either for lack of skill or laziness


A full time housewives duty is a HARD low paying job with undivided attention focused on raising excellent and highly successful children!


Any woman with SKILL whose husband is comfortable and has in store for her passive income sources is encouraged to be a full time wife
Hahahaha have you stopped, ehn my Nairaland nemesis? grin grin grin grin grin grin grin gringrin

Re: Can You Be A Full-time Housewife? by HaneefahRN(f):
If you will like a full house wife let your potential spouse know from the start of the relationship. Not after trapping a career woman in marriage you will start doing like oloriburuku and remember you want full house wife. There are women who do not mind and would love to be but forcing a woman who spent years in school being trained by her parents and has an ambition to progress in her career or business to be a full time housewife is witch craft. And many do not do it cos they love the woman or cos of kids, they do it for selfish reasons so the woman can be at their mercy and they can treat her like trash knowing she has no stand for herself.

Some so called men who force their wives to be full housewives will even deny her and the children money and food cos they have a misunderstanding then you tell me they want it cos of the children.

If you want a full housewife, it is not just buying food for the house and assuming she does not need money. She has to have an allowance she gets every month so she does not have to wait on you to buy every of her need plus she also has parents who brought her up and would want to meet their needs too. Savings too dey important cos anything can happen to the man so the family does not suffer cos of that.
Treat her so well that she will be one to envy not a nuisance to the society borrowing maggi and money for drugs for her children up and down the street looking haggard cos daddy wa no dey house or is in a bad mood
Re: Can You Be A Full-time Housewife? by weslay: 3:03pm On Jul 16, 2023
There is no correct answer to this. It's all about the priority of the family. The priority could be fame, economic freedom, or family. Most times when an individual is on his/her deathbed, the first two doesn't really matter.

Women by nature are supposed to be full-time housewives but because of the lazy nature of some men, they now take up the burden of catering financially for the family.

In the Bible women also worked outside their homes and held leadership positions, they were political leaders, prophetess, midwives, cooks, musicians and so on.
Aside from the political and leadership roles in the bible that we have examined in Deborah, how are the other points you made career-oriented and more important than family? You described a skill set that is demanded of everyone.

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
The thing is that people see housewife as some uneducated woman tying wrapper all through.
The housewife of a struggling man will never be the same housewife of a rich man. many housewives are ordering soups from food vendor on Instagram. They will store it in fridge for a week. They will watch Netflix from morning till when school bus brings their children from school.

And the idea that not working brings disrespect is wrong . How can the sole reason that a man respects you is that you earn? Thinking you can buy your husband respect by "working" is a wrong foundation. There are many working class ladies whose men steal their money to give their side chick. If a man values and respect you,he does,it he doesn't,then he doesn't. If it didn't dey,it didn't dey

You think a woman staying at home to train and care for her kids and family is adding zero contribution to a functional society?

This is how low standards have fallen.

The family is the building block of the society and if the family is not well taken care of, there is no functional society in the first place.

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).
Not surprised you are a Yoruba man.

A woman who stays at home, manages the family's resources and manages the home is a 'liability'.
