i will always prefer a career woman.

BRATISLAVA:


Women have a higher stress tolerance than men, actually. Most men simply go to work or to their businesses, but a woman will do that and also cook, clean and take care of the whole family physically not to mention winks at 2AM.

Nobody likes stress, and if one could avoid the stressful parts of work and still get paid, everyone would rather not have the stress.

If women desire such stressful jobs, they should be allowed to have them.

Gbam.

Career Woman.
she would be a director in my company, Or a Freelancer that works from home. One useless boy cannot come and be giving my wife orders.

I think a married woman should not have to work. Your wife stands to be treated as a subordinate and even disrespected by her bosses. Some may try to make advances. A man should make enough money to a point that his wife does not have to work too.

What do you think ?

Trust me, a woman that doesn't want to cheat will not cheat whether she's a house wife or something else.

If this is your reason for not wanting a woman or your wife as the case may be to work then all I can do is

no one is blocking them from having them na.

I would not want to keep someone's child that idle.

That will be me killing someones dream.

OP is saying the same thing my dad told my step mum few years ago .....
He was like wife are not suppose to work the only thing wife should do is cook, clean up the house and take care of the children ....I was shock at thet statement ..... because my dad was the only one doing all d hustle to feed the family he never agree to invest in he's wife's as at then...but right now he's depending on both my mum and my step mum for most financial assistance....
If he had invested on both wife earlier things will be more okay that it is now....


So I think career wife is okay but she should not be too focused on her job alone .

There should always be a balance with regards everything. If both the man and his wife are supportive of each other then life would be easier for them.

ImaIma1:


Not when it's what she wants but is denied of it to sit at home.

no man denies woman her right to work! most men don't.

Both

Really?

So you haven't seen husbands who refuse to allow their wives work?

Your reply was so good I screenshoted it

Winneygirl:
Career biko.

No one was born into this world to be a spectator.
You can make something of your life.
People are talking about taking care of children. Children will grow up and leave the parents behind.
Children are not a retirement plan. Anyone thinking their children will "take care" of them in old age should ask themselves, "am I taking good care of my parents in their old age"? There are many retired parents who are still paying school fees for their children.
Do you know what the future even holds? Please build a source of income for yourself and your wife for old age. Your old age is only as sweet as your income at that time.

Career for both man and woman!!!

House wife o..... Career women, many of them no top sabi cook and them no dey sabi lash..... Take those 2 things away from me and I won't remain the same....

House wife or a career woman. Looking at what the economy of Nigeria is saying wo I would go for a career woman. Two heads is better than one

BluntCrazeMan:
No matter how anyone looks at it, it's the women who takes more care of the kids. (Whether she is working or not)
So, no matter what a woman is doing, so far the kids are still very young and highly dependent, she should also cut down on her other hustles a bit, so that she can give the kids more attention.

Woman have always been the one taking care of the kids ...... But I still stands with the fact that women should be alow to work or do business because that will ease little responsibility from the man's head ...

Evangelynn:

Not necessarily true,a child that will turn out right will turn out right.Children will grow up and leave the home no pare t should sacrifice their happiness and individuality because of children that will grow up and leave the home.

Wayward and negligent children does not necessarily have to do with the parents not being there it is the choice those children choose to make in life.

Parents especially mothers are human beings and they need a life outside their children nobody should sacrifice what makes their life fulfilling because they have kids that may or may not repay them when they are of age you can take this view of yours to your home but don't tell this to career and focused driven women.

Do you think career is more important than child upbringing?

One who wants to enjoy the joy of having kids must also be willing to make sacrifices so as to ensure the children receive the needed care and attention even when it is at the expense of his convenience. This applies to both parents, it is their sole responsibility to train their children. It is left to them to decide how to balance this huge responsibility of raising their children with other things.

I often tell my friends, when you start having kids, you no longer fully live for yourself, you live for your children; thus, significant lifestyle changes are bound to happen.

Even though a child would grow up and eventually make his choices in life, these choices are greatly influenced by the child's upbringing.

"Train a child in the way he should go; Even when he grows old he will not depart from it" - Proverbs 22:6

Na only toto what if u broke who go help u if ur wife is not working

NLFINEST:
At the end of the day, that’s left to my wife to decide. If she wants to work or not is fine.. my own be say make I dy see steady toto dy knack.�

HRHQueenPhil:
I believe that if a couple wants to have a family, one of them should sacrifice to being at home
Thank God for remote jobs and small businesses..there are too many rude and wayward children because of negligent parents
I know times are hard but many of us turned out okay because of attentive parenting

I just have to clap for this sensible submission. Thank you

House wife anyday.

I work in a public establishment, I can't allow my wife work in such an environment. Never.

For a Nigerian man you're a rare gem.

Mariokenny:
A mixture of both. I know they exist and God's willing I'm gonna find one. I'm also not gonna be a solely breadwinner kind of husband. I'm gonna be partly involved in home keeping.

kurlz:
If you want a full house wife marry an illiterate or semi illiterate. I can't pass through the 4 walls of uni and a man will tell me not to work. Except he is ready to open a mall for me.

bukatyne:


Very true.

I think that's one of the reasons Yorubas are usually VERY ANTAGONISTIC towards housewives.

Many hard working women that never attended school have two , three houses through their alajapa (trading).
Some of those women selling goods in the market have more than ten houses through their businesses.

Olayetan:


You're mixing it,

Being a career woman is different from being jobless and a liability...


You can be engaged with something that gives you money without being a career lady...

okay but u know being a house wife mean u must not engage in anything that will give u money
All they have to do z to stay at home, cook 4 d family, start giving birth and look after d children

What of wives that do clitocuruncy..what's your take....and feminist wives..too....single mothers etc

A hard-working house wife that can start up anything when convenient for the kids. Abeg.
Children done dey too spoil for we area because of lack of parent's attention
