Switching Roles Between Couples by ibrutex(op): 9:20pm On Sep 30, 2025
Most women debate whether managing a household with children or man's effort in providing for the family's financial needs is more demanding.

"It would be interesting to explore the challenges of household management versus financial provision ,

I find it hard to believe the way my wife would complain and compare our efforts for hours, how hectic the day have been for her after Shop with the kids , *Me* pls! don't let me just say what I go through on daily basis ,puting my ego down just to put food on the table for my family. Can we switch roleshuh

Which do you think is more challenging , Is it a man's commitment in making provisions or women hard work with kids care.

OP, if you had to hire a 24/7 nanny, a surrogate mother, 24/7 a cook, a 24/7 housekeeper, a 24/7 personal assistant, a 24/7 mental health counselor, and may also have to pay for sex every time you wanted it, how much do you think that would amount to in just one year? huh

Haven't you ever heard the saying that "it takes a village to raise a child"?

A typical man wouldn't even survive a day with his minor children... I remember this other story of this black American man, he fought his ex wife through the courts for the sole custody of the kids until he finally won... The ex respected the court order and even moved to another State, but still kept in touch with her children.

Upon seeing pictures of her on social media having a good time, he started going on a ranting spree on his social media platform about how she's a bad mother who abandoned their children for him to raise alone while she's busy galavanting... grin grin grin

Even my own brother-in-law couldn't stand the idea of looking after his own daughter, whenever my sister had somewhere to go, she'd always drop her off at our family house since it isn't that far from their matrimonial home... She continued doing it until she was finally a teenager and could look after herself.

Everything is just a question of organisation. I'm a single father of three. I work(own my business) and still take care of three toddlers. 5, 3 and 2 years old. The first two are in school. So imagine what it is like preparing them every morning for school. I still cook three times daily for them. We do eat out occasionally though.

It isn't easy but like I said, everything responds to order and organisation. My business hasn't suffered one bit. I'm still meeting up on that front and still doing all I can to cover for the absence of a mum in their lives.

Yes, men like us do exist.

Taking care of kids is difficult even with two people.
I can only imagine how hard it must be for one person yet you claim to carry it all so well!
