Always hope and light at the end of the tunnel day -- DAY 5 REALITY



When your wife does not earn anything or earns just too little.



~when she does not earn anything ...does not mean that she doesn't work. ...work, must not mean that the person leaves the house in the morning and returns in the evening.



~working around the house can be more tiring and stressful than working in an office.



~that woman... ...wakes up (mostly) earlier than every body else. ...and goes to bed late (mostly) after everyone in the house. ...prepares all the meals ...sweeps the house ...does the dishes ...bathes the kids ...gets your bath ready ...brings your food to the table and clears away the dishes ...does the laundry ...for 9 months, keeps a pregnancy. ...for hours or days, goes into labor. ...breastfeeds for over a year. ...backs the baby while  doing other chores. ...changes the diapers.



...Whew! The list is endless.



~just appreciate her. ...(sometimes), the nagging is the "psychological" effect of stress. ...a little appreciation/support will solve the problem.



~if she doesn't earn money.. ...don't let her beg you for it ...know that every human needs money ...put her in your budget every month or every week. ...no body wants to beg or feel like a beggar.



~I don't mean money for the house upkeep ...but money for her personal use. ...she might want to give money to someone. ...she needs money for airtime/data. ...she will also want to visit friends or relatives. ...she will also need to (once in a while) just buy something and eat (she's human).



JUST DON'T LET HER BEG YOU ALL THE TIME.



~and when you give her... ...don't dictate to her what she'll do with it. ...don't ask her what she did with it. ...let her have the freedom of spending (just a little) the way she wants.



I GUESS YOU TOO ENJOY THAT ...you'll not want every single expenditure of yours to be monitored. ...be empathetic (do unto others what you'll have them do unto you).



~that little that you give her will not make you poor.



~if you can give to others outside and not dictate to them what to use it for... ...why not your wife? ...the love of your life.



~it will surely make her respect you the more ...love you the more. ...and she will be (the more) proud of you.



~being a wife is not being a slave.



...etc.



~I would love it if all the men will share this post. WHAT U THINK
