Dear LIB readers; my dad told me to limit the way I spend on my wife

From a male LIB reader
I went to visit my dad recently and what he told me shocked me. He told me that I should limit the way I spend money on my wife simply because each time she visits him or goes out with our less than two years old baby, she goes with a taxi. And my dad thinks it should not be happening, that she should be taking public bus and that it's unnecessary luxury. As in WTF!? How can he even say that? I quickly cut him that yes my wife can take a bus but not when she's with our child and if I can afford it, why not? So what will now happen if I buy her a car? Seriously this is just selfish.
But then he was trying to make me feel it was a wise fatherly advise. I don't know if this is a common thing but I was really disappointed. God forbid me to even mention this to my wife. Parents should stay clear from their married children's business.

If uv got the money spend it on her, better still buy her a car, I think that will look more cool and economical. Nothing should stop you from giving your family a comfortable life if you have the money. #mytake.

What an elder sitting down sees,a young man/boy like you standing on an iroko tree will not see it. I think ur dad didn't put his words right or u're misunderstood him unless ur dad is jealous of ur love for ur wife.

Unknown said...

Ur last sentence shows u know what u r doing. I will summarise this as poverty is a bad thing

You should reject poverty right to his face! Instead of him to advise you to buy a car for your wife he is talking nyanyapum!

Your dad is a classic jerk. He probably did the same to your mom he is not an honorable man. Please do not listen to him this is by no means common behavior. Buy a car for your wife if you can afford it. I also pray God blesses ur wife with her own resources. He will come crawling to her. He is a wicked man. Your nice wife makes a mistake by visiting him. She should stop. Believe it or not ur dad might actually have a crush on her. Nasty man.

Unknown said...

Poster, you are a jobless man. What is this your whole write up all about?
Stop being a poor lazy man. Go and buy car for your wife. Stop being a fool.

Truth be said..now, if your child was with her, fine, she can use a taxi. I'm talking to you directly now, its not a comment, let's believe it's a text from my phone to yours,OK. ...But if na so she uses taxi on a regular. Two things are involved, its shows you get money, dont knw what the fare is like right now but last time I chkd, it was on the high. OR..she don condition you say she no fit go public. Check yourself mate, ask, yourself, if I have bread and I can afford a taxi per trip, then let me get her a car...OR...if nah say she condition you as said above, then she's not considerate. As for daddy, hey, pop knows your purse, if you have it, he would rather say get her a car, but the wise man know say if the taxi cruise is regular, you go wreck. Don't be annoyed with him.. But above all o, if the lady uses her own money for her trips, then , no one get mouth o. Na you naw go edit yourself and get it right !

OMG, how do some husbands even reason?
You are yet to buy a car your wife at least for the sake of the new baby. Yet, shame allowed you to even write this piece. Smh

Anonymous said...

Very wrong! It's non of his business and secondly why should your wife enter public transport when you can clearly afford to put her in a taxi... At least you are a reasonable man, some men would have taken it as an advice and began to indirectly ruin their marriage. Keep Inlaws and parents out of ur marriage! I would expect your mum to have been the one giving this advice but for your dad to say such, it's quite absurd. If that's the way he treated your mum, he should know that it's not right and let you handle your own wife properly and as you wish

Unknown said...

If you can afford luxury, why not? But going out with a child(ren) in a taxi is not luxury or spending too much.

Jeez...what a cheap family, I pity your wife.

I'm proud of u for standing your ground. You're right. Ur dad has no say. Gone are the days. Public transport like bus can be dangerous even for your wife. Only if ur wife worked. Or did ur father tell you to stop your wife from working? Be a man!! Dang. Ur dad has his own wife to order around. Ur dad must be Yoruba cus that's how my mom's in laws be making orders in her marriage.scares me off marrying Yoruba men completely!

All these husband's family just want the women to be suffering. In the 90s my dad will filled the gas cylinder for my mum and also visit his father and mother on his way back, to give them some food stuffs they end up saying why can't she cook with fire wood when they see the cylinder in the trunk of the car. Holy Ghost fire will fire any of my husband's family that dare say such to my husband concerning me.

Rubbish, it's nobody's business how husband and wife operate so whether father or mother, they should get their noses out of their business. The man that's giving his wife cab money pending when she gets a car is he complaining? A man will take care of his wife world pple will complain, he asks her to jump bus they will still complain.

U sound like a true dumbass . If she wants a car let her hustle her own money n buy her own car. Sorry to say , most women r green snake under green grass n God forbid something happens 2 your finances 2morrow , u'll see their true colours .

You feel she "loves" u nw because, basically things r good with u but just pretend 4 say like 2 months that u no longer have the money 2 pay the bills, then your once respectful, sweet-talking angel turns into your worse nightmare ! Think I'm lying, try this experiment . They won't remember hw u did everything for them.

Manage your finances, don't let your wife brainwash u into unnecessary spending (they're gud at it). U can spend on your kids , your wife, not so much. If u feel your wife must ride something , buy her something cheap , maybe an audi or ladies bike ,or better still, buy her a bicycle. Simple as that !

well u shld b a man nd tak decision on ya own if possible sef no go see dat ur papa again *lol*

Since u mentioned that you are married, i believe that should come with a level of maturity. You should understand that parents will naturally look out for their children, even though the approach differs. I advise you view ur dad's advice from a point love, and not hate for your family. I have received some weird advice from parents as regards family and other life's issues, and i received them out of love. I decide to choose which one to take or not. Also remember their generation is quite different from ours and their approach to family and caring was quite different by miles. Your dad doesn't hate you or your wife, he was just acting his role. Some people even wish their parents are alive to advice them sef, you should be glad.

That he maltreated his wife does not mean you should maltreat yours. All these old nigerian men without respect for their wives. Good that you know it is stupid to make your wife be jumping bus when you can afford a taxi. Women biko, have your own so these inlaws don't start dictating how you should live.

all these unmarried novices making comments of what they know nothing about... Lemme now educate you... First notice how it was all women coming to comment that thunder fire the man... etc etc etc that he should buy the wife a car, later they will come and be preaching feminism and independence... why cant the woman buy her own car... anofias
Ehen lemme now balance and start the insults
the poster is a biiiig fool... and idiot for that matter... you are the head of your home and should determine how the resources are used and not your father. And all the dumb*sses preaching wetin concern father inlaw have obviously not participated in marriage rites or else you will know that in Africa it is the man along with the family of the man that comes to ask for the woman's hand in marriage and the woman along with the family of the woman that accepts so the families ARE involved from the beginning and to the very bitter end. when children are born they will be involved, when birthdays come, they will be involved, even at the burial of the couple, they will still be involved... that is the reality! u can keep some things private but your family and that of your spouse are inseparable from your marriage whether you like it or not. What can be limited is the DEGREE of involvement and that should not include personal issues such as whether your wife enters a cab or bus...
2. Aproko father inlaw, mumu of the highest order ... ur advise should be on how your son can spend money better not particularly against your daughter inlaw and grandson. But yet again, we cannot even tell whether the mumu poster does anything for his family... mother, brothers and siblings and maybe spends all his money on his wife and her son... that is the recipe for bitterness and hatred to the unsuspecting woman.
So in summary, if you can afford it make sure you take care of both your parents and your wife. Why should your wife be entering bus up and down with your son if you can afford to do better??? that is really the big question confirming that you really cannot afford it. u just dey make mouth.
