frozen70: there is no condition under which a man enters a marriage without a job except the condition of "yeye man and desperate woman"....and it hardly ever ends well because the deaperation will eventually clear from the woman's eye but once a yeye man always a yeye man.. |

frozen70:i meant that will be the only time their husband will be in the limelight, because their husband is the source of their wealth. IF THE HUSBAND ISN'T THE SOURCE OF HIS WIFE WEALTH, THEN NO ONE GETS TO KNW HIM , AND IF NA LIE ASK ALAKIJA, OKONJO IWEALA, ELLEN SIRLEAF, QUEEN ELIZABETH ETC. |

I thought the context of this conversation is that the wife will be the bread winner for the man to become a house husband i.e a woman who has a carreer and would not mind her husband staying home. Without that, it will require a man who has already made the money he needs. But then it questions the entire arrangement as I don't know what the wife will be doing. I am not and have never been a fan of a woman who does nothing. Men and women were created equal and endowed with the ability to think and work hard and be the best they can be. So I have never understood why a woman won't be able to excel as much as she wants. I grew up with women who excelled and continue to excel in whatever they chose to pursue including my mum and my sisters. Same for the man. I don't and won't hang out with " urgent 2K" women. As I stated earlier, I won't have a problem with doing the house work. I will actually enjoy it including inculcating the right values to my kids. There is great joy in doing that. My overarching point is that being a provider does not necessarily mean providing money. There are more important things than money that a man can provide and most of these things are lost while the man is busy hustling for money. frozen70: |

Mariangeles:Even housewife is out of the equation nowadays, ma ya fodukwa nwoke kwesiri i headi a home.. If no work, business is an option..As long one has a place to go to in the morning, and return later. Idleness comes with a lot of dirty mindset. My aunt wu housewife ji awa di ya ishi...I can't set my head on fire biko....If I win bread, ya winia akara..

Hathor5:The responses of the men show they have no clue how much work goes into being the stay home parent. That’s the proof that they’ll will be terrible at the job because they assume it means to relax and be pampered. So out of touch and clueless about what it takes to run a home. And that’s the reason why it will fail. Because expecting them to actually do what stay at home wives do, will result in friction due to their own lack of knowledge 3 Likes |

Ishilove:My sister some formulas don't work in this country again. 1+1 may not be 2, it may be 3. However, there will be no respect for the husband if the table turns around like tht but I believe something, how you run your home is different from how I run mine. |

Hathor5:Yup. Better yet. moms who have to work (which really are most moms), should leave the children and house work for their fathers when they go to work and also take time to rest when they get back. Nothing will help them appreciate each other’s contributions more than actually having to participate in it. Let everyone really participate in this breadwinning and parenting thing so that they are not making ignorant statements on the internet. 2 Likes |

NemoDatQuod: All you said were correct The topic is about the house husband but you know that for a man that be a house husband, probably he is not making it at his place of work and decides to be the house husband A lazy man can't be a house husband, it will expose his laziness Same thing I s applicable with women I also believe that house husband or wife does more jobs than the breed winer 1 Like |

jaxxy: The contest here is providing for the family not about respect or no respect If a man can't provide and can't help, what does he nerd the respect for ? When a man subjects a woman to play his roles in the family and the man is OK lazing around, what's the essence of giving him respect Women gives respect to men especially those that deserves it As for baby mama, it's not byeforce to marry a woman you got impregnated That's why we have baby mama and baby dady As far as nature has bond women with children, they are not the one loosing Women must always get love and care from the public and her children |

frozen70: Why would u marry a man who can’t provide for u and then start to complain or want to turn him to a house boy? Marry who can provide for his home. The level of provision depends on what he has and he definitely won’t steal to please u. If u are not ok with stay single or join in providing also. It is not a crime for a woman to also provide for her home instead a lazing about also. Providing is done by both parents and it depends on who has more at the time. Even at the the man is still the head of the home and if u don’t like it u can be single. It’s not by force. A woman can never be head of the home even if she’s the breadwinner. Period. Don’t marry any man who can’t provide for his home and if u marry him then that’s ur problem. If u become the breadwinner along the way that shouldn’t change anything in the marriage either. |
Re: Men, Would You Consider Being Househusbands? by frozen70(f): 10:40am On Dec 13, 2021 |
jaxxy: Whether head of the home or not, Marriage belongs to women Family is being overseas and handle by women Children are made for women, while women are made for men A man's life in both happiness and sadness is determined by his relationship with his woman A woman is like the neck that carrys the head (husband) and the body (children) So with this little points, what does a woman needs to be identified as the head of the family Have you ever seen a woman contesting to be the Head of the family You need to get married then you will understand better End of discussion |

Re: Men, Would You Consider Being Househusbands? by jaxxy(m): 10:57am On Dec 13, 2021 |
frozen70: Marriage is a union not a war or battlefield. Marry who u can agree with. Whatever ideology u hold. Nobody should be forced into a box in marriage. And if u have out grown ur partner that’s a pity. U have the options to leave rather than oppressing a man that’s trying his best. Men shouldn’t oppress the wives also bt that’s why u should know who u marry. |

Munzy14: I remember some guys constantly chyking one of the male food posters because they thought he was a female. Ndi umu nwoke hugburuhu onwe ha. Even though some males claim female, while some females claim male here. Males do it more. At some point, it became a trend among them. The whole thing was just a mess. |

Lol! So it's probably those who can't make it at work who decide to be house husbands. I don't know if I agree with that because I will be very happy to be a house husband. Imagine the tons of hours I'll have inbetween school runs to research new and advanced tech products and to read the thousands of books I have stockpiled electronically? That will be magical. Even now, I do take some lenghty time off work every couple of years just so I can enjoy the freedom that comes with doing things other than work. So I will be a hard working house husband. frozen70: |

Hathor5: I have done this while living with my Sis for 5 years a very long time ago, I am sure I can do every single thing as regards taking care of kids. Now I am working 9 - 5. If you give me an option, I would prefer to stay at home & chill as 9 - 5 no be beans abeg. At least you skip all this rubbish appraisals at work & the urge of eye service for your annoying boss. The problem with staying at home is that it's an unpaid labor, but in terms of how hard it is, It's definitely not the hardest job in the world. So please let us rest. 1 Like |
