I will try to make dis very short
A friend of mine who we work together told me a few weeks back how he asked his wife to help him pay their kids school fees and she refused saying it's a man's job to pay their fees. I was shocked because I know she has the money; he opened a very big shop for her last year. But now, things started going bad at work for everyone. I and a friend had advised him to start the business for her and it was one of those things he is always grateful for. This man has two kids, Kosi who is in JSS 2 and Favour who is in Primary Three. They both attend a school in their area. What is annoying is he has always being the one paying their school fees. (so what?) It's just that we had a little problem at work for the past four months and we all have not been paid at all. This is the first time he is asking his wife to help him pay for anything related to de kids but she refused knowing fully well that she has the money, and dis kids have been sent away from school 4 about a week now and she refused .
My question now: is asking one's wife to help pay one's (our) kids school fees a bad thing? Because the are both in it together and they're both their kids.

My question now is to ask your wife to help you pay your kids school fess is it a bad things because the are both init together and it both their kids

Just watch out, some Nairaland ladies will find a way to justify the actions of your friend's wife.

Women, fear them!

Am average Nigerian woman will prefer to use her money for bleaching cream, makeup kits and phones than using it for the welfare of her kids.

men of nowadays have become very weak which is why they're having problems running their families, if i have to cough out a huge amount of money to start a business for my wife, then she must make monthly accounts to me and help out financially whenever i request for it. The business belongs to us and not to her alone. All these nonsense starts from the courtship period when the men have proved themselves to be mugus and magas so the women go into marriage with them with the same akwunakwuna mentality. I would advise the husband to close down the business until she understands the true meaning of marriage.

Of course the ones in your lineage including your mother.

Which person's surname are the children answering?

Let the person who they are bearing his/her surname, pay the school fees na.

Seriously, I will pay the fees but the man should know that it's his full responsibility.

Manner of approach matters a lot when addressing such issues!
Maybe the man spoke harshly to her Asin been authoritative base on say he was the one that set her up!
