Alert: More Men Are Becoming Babies, Leaving Women As Breadwinners!

It is the 23rd of February 2015 and some salaries will be paid to employees, men and women but i am more particular about the salaries used up by men who call themselves husbands, paid to their wives and yet they don’t contribute their own quota.

You know, men folks are often quick to remind you that ooh 'It’s a man's world', but nobody cares to explain why it is still so, given the fact that the status quo has since changed… seeing that in the past 10 to 15years, women are the ones bearing the brunt of men losing their jobs and their god given role as a provider???.

Men, I need to know..is this true because God knows that i might have been living under the rocks for some time now because i am losing touch with what’s going on around me!

Why do some men even feel comfortable allowing their wives take up the role of a breadwinner? Could it be that the fathers to these men didn’t do good job of instilling into them the honors of a man providing for his home even if he has to sell sand to make money but never should he lose it by giving his wife that power of providing for him...?

Now what even makes it worse is: these women complain that they still get beaten and maltreated by these men too not remembering that they are still the breadwinners.

Can it be conclusively said that women are responsible for containing this harsh reality, bearing the burden of being a breadwinner while their men lounges all day doing nothing? But what if she is: what then should she be advised to do in order to push a husband who is not willing to push himself up out there in order to provide as he’s been created to do by God?

Are women really to be blamed for condoning this?

Are they to be blamed for acting as mothers and wives to men who refuse to go out there and provide like other real men?

Isn’t this one of the reason there is high rate of promiscuity among married women?

Being a breadwinner in a relationship, does it matter if its the man or the woman?
I am asking this question because NAN (News Agency of Nigeria) recently released a report that reveals that Abuja women are beginning to cry out loud regarding how husbands take pleasure in relaxing and watching them go out to work and come home to still become wives and mothers to their children and even the men themselves.
So I want to know for you men, how does that feel to you? Is it even true?
Would you be okay with your wife being the breadwinner?
Do you think marriage is only at its best with the man being the breadwinner?
Ladies, how do you feel about the shift in roles?

My friend and I had a conversation about this and i told her that every powerful woman that i have known and read about has not been able to manage the power of being a breadwinner in the home because a man doesn’t want to come home to a powerful woman.

So, that face you put on at the office and the behaviour that you exude to get to be that powerful woman who brokers a huge deal, brings in six figures to the table at the end of the month, signs contracts with investors in the board room, while her husband is lounging at home with no job or lower income than hers....is not the kind of face any man would necessarily want to see when he comes home and i haven't seen a lot of powerful women who are able to balance that. So how do you all think that affects a relationship when a woman is a bread winner?
