Husband is the head of the house...

The wife should resign

He should happily commence his house - husband role!!!
NB : On the proviso that his wife would not start to pour insults @ him in the future, about his lack of earning power. He can start a home business to maintain body and soul!!!!

On my way home but this topic came up.

This family have got 2 kids and the kids lack parental care because the man and wife come in late.

The issue of Nanny is out of the option because they don't trust nannies and someone must resign to take care of the kids..

The problem here is that the wife earns four times(400%) the man's salary and the ladies salary goes a long way to sort the family expenses.

Please who do you advise to resign.
Should the man become a house husband


WHAT IS HE WAITING FOR? grin grin grin grin grin

The man has to resign.

The wife can support him in starting a home-based business with her funds + his savings so he can have time for the kids and other stuff whilst the woman stays at work earning her pay cheesy

considering that it would take the hubby 4yrs to get what the wife would have brought home in just a year the mathematics is pretty simple. After our first kid I was a house husband for a pretty long while which was convenient considering I work freelance online.

It would work pretty fine if the two had no previous issues of pride and ego.

This shouldn't even be an issue. The husband should resign and take care of the home, at least for now.

No Time for d kids. So...where did they find the time to have them? Once they answer that...then they would have solved 95% of the problem. Parental care = daddy and mummy things.

If na me be the man, I go resign.
But I go strike deal with my wife.

E get why.
Small picking dey worry you. You will strike a deal with a woman and she becomes the bread winner of the family? What then would you been doing? Become a nanny? You will regret the action as you swap responsibilities. Your wife will become the husband while you become the wife. The role was not naturally made for you so you becomes a subject of redicule among peers, extended family, in church even among your wife's friends. Do not be childish, we are talking of a wife here not a girl- friend. The woman will dominate you, she will not be submissive and at the end you will be fraustrated and run back to labour market to seek for a job. House- husband ke !. God forbids such a reversal of role.

Bringing in family member to live with them may give rise to some issues.
@op, ever heard of househusband?

Re: His Wife Earns Four Times His Salary And Someone Must Resign by Nobody: 9:30pm On Oct 09, 2015
Most men would not resign if they are in this situation... because so many men HATE the idea of playing house husband.

Pride would not sustain the family. What matters is funds. And the woman earns more. Why can't the man earn 5 times the woman? undecided

A similar thing happened in Europe about 15years ago when my pastor was doing his PhD, he told us that the husband getting a smaller salary stayed at home. But can an African woman show understanding and see the husband as the head in a situation like this?
Re: His Wife Earns Four Times His Salary And Someone Must Resign by AfroKnight: 9:33pm On Oct 09, 2015
If the man dares to resign he should kiss his leadership goodbye. No woman would listen to a man whom she feeds.
