Career Woman Or House Wife: Which Is Better? by robosky02(m): 4:42pm On Sep 24, 2014
Career woman or house wife: which is better?
While it can be argued that a career woman brings a lot of benefit in terms of sharing the financial burden of the family, however she also brings another set of burden to her home.

This burden includes:
1. Neglecting the family duties eg no time to cook
2. No time or less time spent with the kids (mostly coming back when the kids are sleeping)
3. Turning the bed room to mini office (bringing laptop etc to the bedroom) turn killing romance at home
4. Less intimate time with her husband. (always tired or have a project at hand)
5. No time to bond with family member eg in-laws etc (no time for visitation)
6. Less or no social life (hardly have time to go out on function)
7. In the absence of “madam” the maid may take over bed room duties
8. The kids will be more prone to abuse by neighbours, uncles or even the maid or house help

On the other hand the house wife has the advantage of solving if not all, then most of the deficiencies of the career woman above. Eg she will be there to drive the kids to school and will bring them back home, make food for them and ensure they do their homework.
But the big disadvantage is that the entire financial burden will be on the Man of the house. Eg paying rent, school fess, fuelling his and madams car, sending money to in-laws etc. this could just be too much on him (except he is a Nigerian politician, you know what I mean)

Thus given the above scenario which will you prefer or advise or how will you handle it as a man or a woman.
Please you sincere contribution will save a home. thanks

Whatever rocks your boat. A career woman can equally balance things out on the home front likewise a full time house wife can have a store that she earns something from

Re: Career Woman Or House Wife: Which Is Better? by jmoore(m): 5:13pm On Sep 24, 2014

It boils down to the type of job she is doing.

Eg a woman who owns a school is a career woman. Her kids are her students therefore she is in touch with them. She comes back home early.

Compare the above example to a woman who is a banker, she comes back late.

There is nothing wrong being a career woman. Planning is key.

A woman can decide to be a housewife for about 10 years in marriage and go back to her career later.

One can also work from home. There are many work-at-home jobs.

Who said being a housewife isn't a career?
-it's not easy to organise a family, think-out meals, stay up late @ night - especially when you have kids that are nocturnal beings

...but then money must me made grin. You can actually combine both, it's easier when you are married to your friend.
-that's also part of the advantage of marrying on time (if you the type wanna chase your dreams), you can actually have your kids and be with them in their formative years. Then chase you dreams with speed/force...lol. Within those years, the woman is expected to have built herself educationally, career wise to a reasonable degree that she can actually pick up from when she is done with 'childbearing'.

...I can't really go for one. Maybe your question should be career woman/full time housewife or something. Every married woman must first be a 'housewife' before forming career anything...lol

I think it's necessary that every woman has a source of income - no matter how little. She shouldn't just be the kinda full-time housewife that sits @home doing nothing.

So that's what you can pick from my post

Who Is a Housewife
- as defined by Oxford Dictionaries: A married woman whose 'MAIN OCCUPATION' is caring for her family, managing household affairs, and doing housework. That's why I said,every married woman must first be a housewife.

...Yes I am a housewife.

I'm not saying that a woman shouldn't do the above stated. I'm only against women who depends solely on their husband's salary for everything. God forbid I marry that kinda woman!
