Help My Wife by portplus: 10:03am On Apr 27, 2019 |
Hello Fam, I need candid advice from everyone. My wife has been a stay at home for over six years now and she is not happy about it. We have been brainstorming on what to do. My mother thinks she is lazy but I know that is not true. Even her mother has been putting pressure on me to establish her(my wife). I am determined to see her productive this year. But the days are counting very fast. She lost her job just after our wedding and since then she has not been able to land another one. I really don't want to bore you guys with the many travails(emotional and financial) we have gone through trying to secure a job for her. When paid employment was not forthcoming, she went into selling foodstuff and frozen food business. She was happy doing the business but patronage was slow and she was not good with prices so she made loses and we decided to close the shop because I kept giving her additional finance to keep the business afloat. She has MSc in Social Works. Please kindly help advice on job/business idea for a stay at home mum. Please, she cannot do any MLM stuff because of nature. Thank you all. Waiting patiently for your counsels. #NB: We are currently based in Port Harcourt. |

You need to understand that business isn't for everyone. Anyways, If she cooks well, let her start a food business. You can't go wrong with food. People will eat till they die. As long as she cooks very well, she will get good patronage. Look for a very good location too. 2. Let her learn a skill. She should have an interest in something. Fashion Design. Technology skills. Interior decoration. Let her learn something that'll sell. I repeat, the LOCATION is very very sacrosanct. It determines the influx of patronage. 11 Likes |

You cannot give what you do not have.6 years in both you and your wife haven't been able to collaboratively come up with a plan.This is the truth.You should check yourself first man.How do you inspire your wife to be competitive in the job market.It is clear you are not an inspiration to her since the only business you could come up with was selling and buying.This means you too have shortcomings.What's her resume like?I am sure you have helped her to sort out her resume but then again what substance are you made up of really.Again you cannot give what you do not have.What achievements are represented on her resume.No one will pay a liability money each month for nothing.What value does she bring to the table to command a good paying job? 2 Likes 1 Share |

A big thank you to everyone. I am taking notes: 1. Look at the option of starting a restaurant. 2. Get a better location and re-invest into the foodstuff and frozen food business 3. Learn new skills that can yield income 4. Consider taking a job as a teacher 5. Improve on herself professionally before seeking paid employment I am still attentive and open to further suggestions. 8 Likes |

In all this, what exactly does she want after being at home for 7years. Rule business out. She can't teach if not she would've gotten a job as a teacher. Let her learn handiwork or get her PhD to lecture. You just needs to be more enterprising and inspirational or the condition will continue. 2 Likes |

portplus: While you're exploring these, let's try to explore her true passion and turn it to a cash cow. Does she love caring for kids- Creche. Does she love fashion- she could learn tailoring or hair dressing. Does she love chores-- She could start home cleaning service(no be she go dey clean o, she go dey organise it). Does she love events--- event planning( though too tedious). Etc. After she must have decided/learnt, she should start by offering the service to members of her church for patronage...she will get referrals if she's good. Good luck. By the way, what's MLM? 4 Likes 1 Share |

Anyone that is completely idle as in sit at home 24hrs watching TV is actually lazy. Teaching job is available, the pay may be low but it's a good start and keeps one busy 1 Like 1 Share |

portplus: I am worried about this part though, because Selling foodstuffs like Frozen foods is one of most viable businesses in Nigeria with Maximum profit & Zero losses of you do it in a good area because even during Civil wars, World wars etc, people must by buy food & eat. If you invest 1M or 1.5M on Frozen foods business in a good POPULATED area, Honestly you should make triple in 4 months, Starting from Turkey, Chicken, Croca fish etc. The woman who owns a frozen food store in my area drives Benz oh! You need a good capital & a new strategy. 4 Likes |

6years of full housewifry. You na man! May God continue to strengthen you. You've got loads of options from everyone here. But Make sure you rule out investing in any business completely! That idea cannot work again. Learning a skill is the most practical advice. All the best. 1 Like |
