Oga gave me 2000 naira for stew grin expecting me to spend everything on a well made ingredientize stew with hefty goat meat! I was able to apply my bargaining skills and spent over one hour walking about the market for good prices and brought home some change. I have been saving that small change for raining days. Now oga is mad because of that shocked Okay, bring it on!!
Op, hope your sister has a job.

She doesn't obviously. If she had a source of income, he won't be this overwhelmed, neither would his problem be "change".

She should go get a job and contributebher quota. Then save whatever she wants. Money dey stop some kind nonsense.

oga has been sweating and slaving and growing old putting money for food that he could hae used for school fees or to repair car. he has been deferring important projects because of high cost of food. he has been jugging and struggling with multiple income streams so the family does not go hungry. meanwhile madam has been goat and yamming the hard earned money on her ow special projects. you think the man does not have other special projects he could have used the money on?

What happen to being honest about your bargaining skills? I believe you would also lie about why you wasted so much time at the market. Would it be wrong letting him know you are saving for the rainy day? No matter how you look at it you aren't being truthful and he will always feel bad about your dishonesty.

If you tell me it will cost you 7k to make pot of stew and i keep giving you that for months, I sort out upkeep money, take care of your expenses, I pay bills then barely have nothing left for me then one day I discover it cost you just 3500 to make the pot of stew.......... Now you come up with "I'm saving it". First I will see deceit and lies in you.

Wise woman she is. . Except of course she's been saving some of the money but giving excuses the money is not enough while leaving somethings out, making the husband feel he's not giving enough for upkeep. That's being dishonest.

Now, this exactly what you wanted. Because from the comments so far, you would have validated your claims that your sister's husband is a 'senseless and very stupid man' and may not be given his deserved respect anymore. This is how trouble dey take start.

That's deceit and dishonesty. She was caught and had to use savings as an excuse. If I were the man she will show me where she saved it grin grin else I won't trust her budgeting anymore.

Husbands please will you be happy with your wife,if you discover she is saving from the house keep money? Please give reasons.

I went to spend sometime with my elder sister along with my mum cos she just delivered. And recently her husband was quarreling with her it got so serious that mumsy had to intervene. after everything died down, I asked mumsy what happened she said the man was very angry because his wife which is my sister has been saving money from the upkeep money he's been given to her.

that if she had any left overs she should have told him so he'll add it to the next money he'll give and spend less. he said she's selfish and inconsiderate.

for me I don't see any big deal in it cos as a woman a nursing mother she should have some cash in hand.

please what are your views




Whatever her reasons are, there's nothing wrong she's doing and no husband should act in that manner to his wife.
There's one thing I always tell women and those who say they are Christians. If truly you need the success of your husband be it a house wife or working as well and as long as the husband gives the wife money for house-up keep or personal up-keep she should endeavour to do those things as done by the "virtuous woman" in the Bible according to what she has. Any serious minded wife should read that entire chapter in the Bible and get the message its speaks on. It's not just for the wife but for her children especially.

This is pure nonsense. Any money that remains from the upkeep money should be used in the next upkeep money. The woman is just milking her husband and it's not right. If she needed the remaining upkeep money, she should have told her husband. What's stops her from going to make her money instead of milking her husband? The husband is complaining because money is not easy to make and he understands, just like anyone with common sense, that she is milking him. The wife is selfish, mean and inconsiderate. Insecurity is indeed the weakness of a woman.

Maybe the special project (her matermal instinct) is the birth of the new baby you know. See why I'm all for a working lady, condom sex ( no bringing additional mouth to feed in this type of situation) and not all this fighting over "saved change "
With the money wahala on the ground, condom should come in handy.

'she is a woman' what does that mean?-won't the husband provide for the petty things. The blunt truth is,the wife is stealing from the husband.Unspent budget must be returned to the treasury.

Yeah, there is something wrong with that. It just brings distrust.

I have experienced this first hand, even though her savings became my bailout several times, her actions was just taking from my own savings and putting in her personal savings.

In my case, my spending habit is totally different to my wife's. Her estimates always end up in a deficit while thinking she has surplus. After giving her monthly stipends, we would be short on groceries before month end which i will bail out from my savings while she was saving.

The real question is, if your sister truly has surplus from what her husband is giving her, when she declares it or plugs one of his responsibilities, such as, TV bills, Electricity bills, house maintenance or any of the sort women usually leave to men directly, he will appreciate it better than hiding it. If he spends less a home, he will embark on capital projects. Besides, a man loves a woman who says she has enough and trust him to invest what he has or save for the family.

I believe 90% of the women do it, some do it to save for the rainy day while others use it on frivolous things. It depends on which side of the divide his wife belongs.

Lying nursing mother you mean. Is the husband not taking care of her financial needs? The husband isn't mad about the so called saving but the lies and deceit. How can he trust her next costing?

Now switch the table. The man lost his job and the woman is providing then you visited them only to hear the man takes money aside from what your sister provides for running certain bills........ He claims he is saving.

Will you be on his side?

There is no excuse. She should have told her husband. He is not the one providing? Why did she not tell her husband? If she needed something form him, will he murder her if she asks? Insecurity is the weakness of a woman. She is milking her husband and saving the money for selfish reasons. No two ways about it.
