Its important that children get the love and care need but then you have to factor in the econmic issues in the country.If the lady earns 400% more than the husband i'll advice that the husband and wife have a serious one on one talk of the realities facing them.then again how old are the children? even at that i still believe that they both don't need to resign.Think outside the box an you'll be surprised with the solution you can come up with.all the best.

Genesis 2 vs 18: God said, “It’s not good for the Man to be alone; I’ll make him a helper, a companion.”

Helper is an assistant, and for there to be an assistant a boss must exist..

when the boss becomes sick which also includes financial sickness then the helper steps in. The boss will recover someday and continue with his leadership.

The helper was created for moments like this and it is temporary.

4 my advice, the wife foots the bills which is very ok. Husband working with a salary that's 1/4 of his wife's, so he should keep his job. And the issue of nanny, not all are bad. There are good people doing that job and things like this are always very sensitive, but u have to try one. There are day care everywhere now and i think the day care would be ur best choice.

hmmmmM! D qustn is vry simple. Day care nko undecided or they don't av any relative they can bring in 2 care of their kids?

Sure day care would be ideal if they come in on time, but parents who come in by 11pm, will the Day care be open till then nd most importantly kids need parental grooming.

How would u feel taking ur child to day care, on getting there he/she calls out on a staff Daddy...

If he resigns, don't u think he will b termed "Useless" both outside nd inside the home..

Secondly, his more than an Infidel if you believe the bible (1st Timothy 5 vs cool
He'd be resigning to be more useful at home.
How's that useless?

Or he could start this business that everyone is harping on. After all anyone can be a business man. And yet have time for his family.

See? Problem solved

There's surely not just two ways of settling this, there is bound to be a third option or a workaround.
Re: His Wife Earns Four Times His Salary And Someone Must Resign by manuroq(m): 9:59pm On Oct 09, 2015
Husband and wife, keep ur jobs but the nanny is a good idea, or beta still day care is advantagous

* If the wife resigns there's going to be a big drop in the family income.
* If the man does the same thing the effect will be infinitesimal but it's going to give rise to another problem. this is Africa , a land where men are expected to head the family in all ramification (financially especially) so if the man resigns sooner or later he may start questioning his place and role in the family.
*My take is that they should save up and start up a family business that will employ either the wife or the husband, at least the kids will get more time when one parent is not working for someone .

Edited: no mind my mistakes ooooo

Let's assume the wife's work isn't banking as continuity is not guranteed these days.

But if it's a job that she's sure of, they can set up a business the man will be managing, be the manager of his own time. By that, he can help.

As the business progresses, the wife can join. No job should be permanent, except Govt work.
My opinion, anyway.

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


The wife should resign and support the husband with prayers and creative ideas.

At dsame time,children er supposed to be given a special care n attention,so in dis case money is essential .D both parents shld sit n reschedule dia activities nd dat of d children. i.e d parents. shld close 4rm wrk early nd enrol d children to a school wher dy wll close at almst dsame time dy wil cme bak 4rm wrk.


The husband shld nt quit his job cos he s earning less than his wife n vise-visa cos anytin can happen maybe due to natural or artificial occurrence to one of d parents so d oda wil b able to carry on wit d responsibilities..............

Yes, the man should be a househusband till he gets a good job. Men and their fragile egos, if it was the other way round it wouldn't have been a topic for debate.
Re: His Wife Earns Four Times His Salary And Someone Must Resign by Pidggin(f): 10:06pm On Oct 09, 2015
The man should resign. He will help manage the income the wife is bringing in and from there they can start their own business which he will manage until she retires and joins him.

Re: His Wife Earns Four Times His Salary And Someone Must Resign by Nobody: 10:12pm On Oct 09, 2015
I don't think àny of them should resign, because money is needed to maintain a happy family. Since they both come back home late, that means they both work very far from home. I suggest they should relocate and rent a house very close to the wife's workplace so that she can get back home after work within 30mins maximum. So doing, they both retain their jobs and income and the children will have motherly care while the husband will have to make up for his own care on weekends fully dedicated to his family

He should do the needful.. resign howbeit dishonorable.

It will hurt his ego but will benefit his family.

But he should be the finance minister or the federal government that determines how the money generated by Niger Delta that is his wife is spent.

Anything less than that is gnashing of teeth and wailing.

Carry on.

Every mother's dream is to take care of her children...in this case i think it should take the normal protocol: The man should provide, while the wife sacrifices for the betterment of the family and the children most especially for where there is love, SACRIFICE is easy...

Let them take the natural law into consideration and leave this money ish...period!

NB: We know were it landed us when a woman was given that responsibility to take care of things in the Garden of Eden... Neither God nor Man rested grin

Relegating a man to House-husband(i.e being useful at home according to you) is more like contradicting Ephesians 5vs 23..

Virtually all Nairalanders re fond of this Advice " start a business"..

We need to know, not everyone is business oriented.

It is the duty of the man to provide for the family. The man MUST NEVER agree to resign. Woman,being what they are will always abuse the arrangements.
