Hello thorpido,please can you expand on the bolded?I mean the easier bit?I hope you don't mind me asking.
Maybe easier is not the word to use.
Women are better at multitasking.

The op said couple not wife alone.
Imagine a wife working in the island going back to pick her kids in mainland then returning to work in the island then going back to mainland at the end of the day. That's like how many hours of shuttling to and fro ....kikikiki. Most of the time this is done on a public transport while Oga goes to work with the family car. Taking your kids to your place of work ...I wonder how many bosses can accept that.
The wife will do all this things then come back wash, cook and clean and then be expected to fvck all night long. Marriage is becoming less appealing as the days go by. This is no longer the era when you have relatives from all angle flooding your house.
You have to read well. Not everyone works for people or live on the mainland working on the Island.
I wrote that specifically addressing the woman who has her own business. I also said wife because it's easier to handle for women.

It's not in every home that the woman does the cooking,cleaning and washing ALL by herself.
The sex issue.....she is not one like a bottle of beer where the one who drinks enjoys the beer but the bottle itself gains nothing. It's love making........not just for the man.
Choose the right man to marry.

Sit him down and have a talk with him.
Tell him his recklessness with money makes you unhappy and that you want him to work with you to improve on it.
Tell him to keep money in an account that he can 't easily access or keep with you.He can only take the money if he has a genuine need.

If he doesn't show willingness to improve,you know what to do.

Good evening house,

The Topic already explains itself.

In Lagos of today, how do a working couple with kids survive without a maid?

Practical examples pls.
I think it depends (more) on the type of work the wife is doing.If she is self-employed, she arranges her work schedule around her kids.
She drops them in school,goes to her work,picks them up after school,they go to her place of work together,she closes and takes them home.

iamleumas:
Thanks so much sir
She's just 16 years old.
Her dream profession is lecturing
She's very good at literature
Her grade is usually between B & C
We reside in Oyo state.

Thanks in anticipation sir
If she's good in Literature and has a passion for lecturing,then I'll suggest she applies for B.Ed. in English at University of Ibadan.
Education › Re: My Sister Needs Your Advise PLEASE!! by thorpido(m): 8:33pm On Jan 14, 2019
She should have a desire for a profession by now or she just wants to plunge herself into a school without any specific direction?

Another question is her strength, what subjects is she good at?What are her grades generally?
Where do you reside?

underage according to who or whom?
Many of them were 13,14 and 15.That's below the age of consent.

AHCB:
molested? That's a strong word. But hey, I'll still ask if R. Kelly raped them.

Hope you know some of this so called teenagers know more about sexual matters than you'd think.
It's not about knowing more than we think.Were they underage?Yes

She's obviously in a bad marriage and probably bad in-laws.
Suicide is not the option anyway.She can leave the marriage.

HellVictorinho:
A judge?
God judges kids too?
How about amputees,deformed people,destitutes,syndrome-sufferers,etc that don't really know what it means to be alive?
My questions end here.
But your answers can never justify such insane cruelty.
Nature is screwing Man already.
And it will be utterly absurd to call life on Earth a gift.
It is actually a possibility that involves all manners of misdeamenors.
So you can also call it a chance to exist.
Ultimately, it's all about probabilities upon probabilities.
God is not judging kids.
Your statement in bold answers the question.

MhizAngel99:
So what will happen to the righteous buddhists?
Whose righteousness or what standard of righteousness do Buddhists have?

How does this justify a loving god?
He is a God of love and judgement.

These ones do not have social etiquettes.

How can you publicly say someone is mad on a platform everyone will see for no reason?
Some people are just stupid.Even if you don't agree with him,why the insult?
Christianity Etc › Re: Ten Questions I Have For Christians by thorpido(m): 11:21am On Jan 12, 2019
If everyone actually believes in the Christian god, why would highly religious non-Christians purposefully following the wrong religion, especially when that religion is more strict or just as strict as any sect of Christianity?
Religion is man trying to serve God,trying to do things to win God,trying to be righteous by doi g what he thinks is right.
Christianity isn't man trying to serve God,trying to be righteous,it is man believing what God has done ,accepting His own righteousness.

If you do not know the right way but you know a way,it is only natural to follow the way you know,albeit in ignorance.Think about a lot of cultural practices that are done in ignorance.That's all they know.


Why do we inherit sin from our ancestors, but salvation has to be an individual choice?
In science,you inherit genetic issues from parents.
You can however do a lot to how it affects you.You could have been born in a place,where you choose to live is your choice.In the same vain, your salvation is individualistic.

I think your hubby is finding it hard mentally to cope with a pregnant you.
He might come around later or he might just be a waste.Avoid him as much as you can so he doesn't batter you.
Concentrate on your pregnancy.

It'll be interesting to know how much of his death is closely linked to poor healthcare in Nigeria.

So many untimely deaths in Nigeria are preventable.
Poor health care?Must everything be down to the state of health infrastructure?
He was a prof remember?
Death is inevitable......... even in the US.
