Dear LIB readers; please answer this question...

Question from a LIB reader. Find it below...
Please help me sort out this problem. In a family where the husband earns N150,000 every month, and the wife earns N750,000 every month and they both work in the same company, and their kids are lacking parental care, love and discipline, who between them should resign and stay home to take care of the kids?

Hmmm... Well..they could both save up enough to start a business depending how well they understand each other.. Most men don't like it when their wives are in charge but its something that can be worked out between the couple at least for the sake of the children...

Stale!Such does not exist,is just ur imagination. You can't even earn 150 anywhere in this country not to talk of 750k.Also what qualification does she has to earn that much and the husband does not have. SO ITS STALE!!!

No one should resign, make out time for the kids

The man should be the house-husband, while he negotiates with the wife on how the chores will be handled amicably for love of a united and stable family.

There are lots of men being house-husbands in London and it works well for the family.

Ego and pride should be put aside whilst God's love and wisdom must reign if a stable family is to be attained..

The real issue is not how much they earn or who should resign, rather, it is: Are they one team? If one, then as the man, I will resign to commence a service-delivery business, seeking the how-to first with our combined resources and effort as we build up our children's values.

This is very tough and wisdom is needed here. Base on tradition, is the right of woman to take care of the home, while the man work so the man can't resign. but the woman is financially good. so I will suggest a nanny.

Wisdom and understanding is most important at this point

The husband should resign and stay with the children. He should please do online courses to improve himself and later find a better paying job that he has academic qualifications for. The wife should please, please appreciate the husband and still respect him because it is hardworking raising and caring for children. This sounds like a long story but it is my sincere opinion.

Everyone that says the mother should resign, even though you see the $600,000 difference in their salaries (which will negatively affect their standard of living) is a big idiot. It happens all the time in American homes. The man should quit & be a stay at home dad for the children. If he ends up finding a better paying job, then switch places with your wife.

A man is supposed to provide for his family. No doubt about it. The man can't stay at home doing all the house chores and the woman coming late at night from work and saying "darling, what did you prepare for this evening". It is demeaning! For salary structure. The difference isnt dat much. It depends on how you value money. But remember that the kids will act later in future on the training they get now.

Anonymous said...

No one needs to resign! The woman, if she loves her family, should cut down her hours and work part-time. Even 50-75% part-time will still bring her a good salary (still higher than her hubby's!). I am sure she is of immense value to the company for the salary discrepancy to be so huge.... They'll be happy to keep her in her part-time role rather than lose her completely!

You're so daft. Painful sacrifice? You mean on the woman's part or on the children's part? Because if she quits and that big chunk of income ceases for the family, everybody will suffer that loss; and when I say everybody, I mean the husband, the wife and the kids. So while you're there thinking of sacrificing the woman's pain, you're stupidly sacrificing the whole family's well being by being egocentric.

First of all this story is obviously made up. If u choose to marry a woman that earns more than u do obviously u av become somewhat of a slave to ur marriage I know this cos av seen this happen to a couple of dudes I know.Going with the question its only reasonable the man resigns then go back to the drawing board n figure out a business u can start n grow on something that gives you the time to attend to your childrens needs at all costs. The kids start getting used to their father more than their mother buttom line it takes prayer and wisdom to overcome this sort situation.

Anonymous said...

The main issue here is that the kids aren't getting enough parental care. Then who is in the best position to provide that care. Most commentators are focusing on money without critical evaluating the implication of asking a man to resign because he earns lesser than the wife in the long run. This is Nigeria and NOT UK or US. We all know that men usually get raw deals where the woman is the breadwinner. It is also too risky for the two of them to work in the same company. They should sit down and see things beyond the 750k and 150k. Evaluate all options but the man must stay on his job.

It is the woman that should resign of course. Man is not meant to stay @ home even without taking care of d kids nor doing house chores. Mine for an example.

I am a civil engineer structures precisely and for almost 3 months now that av not goten a contract I know how my wife has been frustrating me @ home simply because she goes out in the morning and return in d evening.

Women has this kind of believe that if they are richer than you, therefore they have the right to take any decision @ home without the man's consent.

So my own take on the matter is for the woman to work for a while and quit the job.

Some folks here agrees that the husband should stay home and if he eventually does,he will get criticized,some would even use the term "he's not a man" he's been controlled by his wife" it best the man seeks employment elsewhere except he's not qualified enough and if he's not it best he apply's for a professional course so that he can boost his resume.

Anonymous said...

The question is so typically Nigeria. When a couple is working and it affects the welfare of the kids, whether they work in the same business place or not, the partner with the less take home gives up his/her job to stay at home and do the proper parenting. They dont need opinion pool to know what to do. It's only in Nigeria, you see people ask such stupid questions. Contrary to popular belief, it's not the place of the woman only to be a stay at home parent. Here, we see it as a taboo for a man to be a stay at home parent. We should note that it's not about the parents, it's about the kids and with the high standard of living, it's only natural for the partner with less take home to be the stay at home and shouldn't be something about losing pride.

Linda and her stupid feminist pieces! Stupid people actually get their thinking influenced by pro-feminist stance Linda takes in all her article...and a mad man'll be wondering why she single. This is both unrealistic and BULLSHIT. Even without a disparity in income, isn't the consensus that women should work and not become house wives as per gender equality and the fact that every woman has a lot to contribute to society than to become a housewife so why should this article suggest that one partner leave their jobs, a cheeky jab at the fact that the man earns less. In times like this I pity females that get carried away with the feminist trend and not allow wisdom direct their wits. Being fulfilled in all facets of life would mean wisdom is operational in your life

Linda its nt adviseable for a man to be idle and it is d woman's responsibility to mane the home front. However in this case they shld both work bt create time for their children durin weekends n public holidays while dey get a corporate nanny to take kia of d children durin d week. D children shld also be taken to their grandparents so dey can feel d parental luv n affection. Wen they av gotten sufficient funds to carry out a business one person wit a gud business IQ shld resign n pursue d business which wil fetch him/her d time to parent their children. Wisdom is applicable to direct.

I'm sure they can afford a nanny or a help.
This can't happen bt if it does, the woman shld resign cos it's her duty to take care of the family while d man provides. The man can't take the woman's place and vice versa. Besides in this country,its a lot easier for woman to get job than men,so i'd suggest d woman resigns.

All these ladies saying the man should resign, u will still be the 1st to abuse and insult the man of being lazy, its not easy to tell a man to resign and stay at home to take care of d kids, even if its applicable in d western world, our norms n values re not d same with there's, as long as d couples re in nigeria its not gonna be easy 4 a man to stay at home and be doing houz choirs, its not pride nor ego,but its not always applicable in our society, for me,it will have psychological and emotional effect on the man later, if d man must resign, he must set up a good business, in order not to loose his value, bcos no matter hw much they luv themselves, once d woman bcoms d bread winner in d family, d music will change oo, bcos woman will always be woman, from Everistus Chikezirim

Shut up objective to where? Is there any law that says only women provide parental care? Besides dnt even understand when they say lack parental care, it's very vague.... Don't they go to work and come back? It's foolishness for the woman to resign cos of stupid male ego....even if he resigns it's not permanent and he should get something doing on the side.... Of course the woman has to continue to give him respect as the head of the home.....

All na story to me...to be realistic the man should resign cos if u look at d family d woman is technically taking care of it...when they live in lekki and dere children study in the best schools wit good cars do u actually think d man is taking care of the family cos she earns 5times more than he does so d moment she stopped say goodbye to ikoyi and fancy school and welcome to oshodi cos that what the husband can actually afford....but in the real sense they could be able to come to an understanding on aw to rise there kids....Babe PLS don't leave ur job employment is fucking hard in Nigeria and when u stop husband will remember u r not economically and can't manage wat he brings home....abeg wetin go happen at the end of the day to d marriage

What kind of question is this? Is parenting inversely related to parenting? Can money be a substitute for good parenting? A horde of people would scream that it is the woman's duty to take of the children. Another horde would scream that he who earns less should resign.

I would look at it differently. Let the couple work out something that would enable them bring up responsible children

To me, this is not an issue.
firstly, both the man and the woman should set their priority right. this will enable them know what is the most important thing. if money is the most important thing , the the man should resign and if the the joy of the family( father mother children) is the most important thing then the woman should resign for the betterment of the children, their is greatness greater than the one they have in the tomorrow of their children and the family at large. we all believe that women do best in talking care of children. In conclusion, Either of them can resign but it has to do with their understanding and priority. THANK YOU.

Since love is what binds dem, d father can humbly resign but the mother must not take her hands off the deck totally. She be very careful 2 avoid anytin datg wl cause the father 2 feel inferior.

Unknown said...

How can one say there are no companies where people are not paid N150,000 not to talk of N750 000 in Nigeria. Hey wake up, my boss is paid N1.2m monthly okay. So saying it's not possible, it's not true.

Hian! Whc kind Q b dis na? Don't they knw ders smthn called a nanny?? Ok let's say der wasn't, then d husband should resign no two ways abt it

Anonymous said...

Thank you o! There are a lot of daddies out there but not that many fathers. When a high percentage of the country think it's only a mother's duty to nurture the kids and all the father needs to do is provide material things. No wonder the country is the way it is. What happened to fathers loving their children the right way, being in every part of their lives, first word, first step, being able to care for them when they are sick etc. it's so sad the way Nigerian fathers relate with their young children from afar. I have seen a man go and beg his neighbour to allow his wife come and help take care of his kids for a week because his wife just gave birth, she was still in the hospital and he either didn't know how to take care of the other kids or he thought it wasn't a man's job to wake them, bath them etc. he had to call on another man's wife to take care of his flesh and blood...... Very very sad indeed

Anonymous said...

So if he takes care of the kids, he's no longer on charge? Your thinking is very backward my friend!

D husband should leave d job of course while I pay him N150,000 k as monthly salary

the man shud. d wife is earning 5x dan him. money isnt evrything, bt its a necessity.

Funmi olawale said...

The husband should leave the job with love so the that wife can bring more fortune to liberate the family. That's my opinion anyway.

Well, it happened to us! I had a job in financial services, earning roughly less Dan 400k, my wife was earning over a million a month. One us had to resign it was me without thinking. If u married, it's family income rather Dan individual incomes, some Pple say men r getting lazy, d truth it has nothing to do with dat @ all, in d office environment, Pple work wit brains nt muscles, so a woman cld be smarter Dan a man, n do way better. Well, for abt 1 year, I tried to get back on my feet after I resigned, didn't get a job, so I started a business supplying diesel (my wife funded it) I expanded it to roughly over 20 tankers. Money from d business is 10times more dat wot my wife earns. And this year she resigned to join me! Dats it, it was hard first (bruised pride) but God helped "us"

So the family should be poor because the woman wants to massage the ego of the head. All these traditions are the reason africa has watched the rest of the world leave us behind
