Your wife is definitely one of those sit-at-home jobless women who do nothing but stay in the house and have some group of other women she gossips with all day long. Na those women she dey give that food. You better send her packing before she will destroy you 4 Likes 1 Share |

Sit her down and tell her we are cutting down on things to facel the current reality of things. If it was her money I can bet she won't be wasting food like that especially at this time. She is yet to know the value of money abd the difficulty to get it. 1 Like |

If you have enough money. Take a month to buy the quantity you only need with retailer close to you and if she ask why. Tell her the reason. That's how I treat my woman when a bag of rice doesn't last a month. She has been sharing with neighbour and friends..I reset back to buying a plastic then turn to derica by derica, her brain reset on the wasteful part |

Their type want to make man look stupid. The best way to deal with them is to totally ignore them. She's begging me to make her my second wife now. But the ship has already sail. If my present wife misbehave, I will send her packing. She behave herself because she knows the kind of person I am.

1. Go with her to the market for 2 weeks. Or at least, follow through on every purchase. 2. Talk about the expenses, jovially, every day for these 2 weeks. 3. After the 2 weeks, call her and tell her the changes (if you guys run a man is thr leader household), or you both discuss and agree on the changes (if you run a partnership household). There may be some things you don't see. And the inflation. In Naija is really bad. |

Oga, Honestly, I think Kobojunkie is trying to help. I think she wants you to either see the real costs that your wife is managing, or/and make you see the benefits of a wife who also brings in money. You either need to take over the cooking duties to see the realities. A housewife may see that as a big insult so thread carefully. I think you should follow up, in a loving way, with your wife for 2 weeks. Just to see wgat is going on. Then after that, you make changes. vazsily: |

He can do it to show his wife how to reduce costs. He can also do it to see that the changes needed mean that he and kids will start eating pork, or eating 1 meat, or drinking tea once a week. Nikes: |

vazsily: Don’t ever think your life wife is your partner, Oyibo is using that word to sow the seed of equality into marriages. She is not your partner but your wife and looks up to you for guidance, you are her husband and directs/delegates. Your authority comes secondary to God. Once you understand this hierarchy you’ll know your word is final, else na village you dey see yourself so. Women are naturally consumer based hence their impulsive spending habits while Men are intrinsically producer based hence their conservative nature in parting with scarce funds, this also makes men financially savvy. Your authority on monetary issues as the primary provider should be supreme. What you say should go unchallenged. If you go broke tomorrow (God forbid) will your wife not adjust her lavish cooking habits? No let madam send you go village. Be the man of your home and take control of the PURSE else you’ll be the next BP patient waiting for the NURSE. Enough said! 1 Like |

You started it with her. And it will only takes the grace of God to realign to the current reality with her. I really understand what you're passing through. TALK TO HER ABOUT YOUR SITUATION NOW or YOU DEVISE A STRATEGIC APPROACH SO SHE CAN FOLLOW... You just need to map out how much you want to be spending every month. like buying every foodstuffs needed and be giving her small money only on Saturdays morning. ALSO TRY TO COMPLAIN TO HER PARENTS ABOUT IT .. If it persist! N/B: Such type of women will run you down and abandon you when e red. IT HAPPENED TO MY FRIEND..WHICH I WAS THE FAMILY BEST FRIEND. They had 3 kids. But today the girl left him in pH and ran to Lagos with the children to be flexing her life. MANY MAY NOT REALLY UNDERSTAND THIS THING YOU'RE COMPLAINING NOW. 1 Like 1 Share |

Kobojunkiee:It’s kinda stale and unbelievable; the part where you’re pretending not to know that earning their own money is hard for most women to do. I wouldn’t settle for a woman who doesn’t work and earn her own money but most Nigerian women count themselves privileged to only contribute in doing domestic chores and household runs. 1 Like |

Kobojunkiee:stop giving wrong advice here, there is nothing wrong with what the person up there said. This is Africa not Europe, which one is anybody can cook? A woman is hell bent on sending her husband back to the village with her unesessary wastage and all you have to say is the man should start cooking by himself instead. 1 Like |
