She's not a liability
Most men need to go back and check the meaning and traditional duties of a wife. It has become common these days for men to say they don't want a liability for a wife. Biko, let me ask this question, what/who is a liabilty? Can somebody google the word? I just did and I saw this;
"A liability can mean something that is a hindrance or puts an individual or group at a disadvantage, or something that someone is responsible for, or something that increases the chance of something occurring (i.e. it is a cause)"
Now let us look at the traditional duties of a wife;
1. She is solely responsible for concieving, giving birth to and nurturing children most times putting her own life on the line (visit any labour rooms and see what I mean)
2. She turns the house into a home by ensuring smooth, regular running of affairs in the house, ensuring that the house is neat and welcoming, cooks, laundry, and even manages money for house upkeep and makes sure the money lasts till the next one comes (pls note this kind of thing is not easy at all even when there is good money coming in. she often has to sacrifice a lot of brazilian weaves and other ladies' guilty pleasures to ensure this)
3. She nutures the children. Helps them with homework, attends PTA meetings, gives them all the needed moral support and even extends it to the husband by praying day and night for his success, being there when he needs a friend to talk to and standing by him through thick and thin.
4. She tries her best to satisfy her husbands (often times) high sexual needs.
Now, Mrs. A is an unemployed housewife who does all these things willingly and expertly, do we still call her a liability because she does not have a paid employment
Huh? Must everything be measured according to how much money she brings to the table? Does she have to bring money before she can be an asset? Must a woman's usefulness/worth be measured only according to her financial strength?
After watching your wife go to hell and back just so she can make you a proud father, will you still have the heart to call her a liability
I am a working woman, and yes I have the desire to earn a separate income from my not-too-distant-future hubby. I believe women should have their own financial freedom and do their own thing for themselves and for security purposes. But I also detest when a woman who is not for one reason or the other not working is looked down upon as a liability.
That is too strong and offensive a word to use on a woman who does everthing and sometimes even more of the things I mentioned in the house
This nonsense must stop! Unless, your unemployed wife is a lazy, nagging, dirty woman, I see absolutely no reason why she should be called a liablity. Do you know there are non-working women who lead their husbands to great wealth because of their characters alone??!! So my guys, be more concerned about a lady's character and aura than her income or where she works when choosing a wife. Instead of calling her a liability and being recentful, why not work harder and make more money? Can you carry a baby for 9 solid months and go through labour pains (agony)?
Big ups to all the housewives in the house! But hey ladies please try to have a separate account from your husband's or a joint account where your name is clearly wriiten on it.
