Yinka is a banker while his wife, Funsho, is a journalist. By virtue of their jobs, the two of them close late . They’ve been married happily for two years before trouble reared its head in their home. That was when the children started coming. Yinka suddenly realized that his wife must come back home early to take care of their two children as their housemaid has given notice of her leaving at the end of the month.
The pressure is on Funsho at home and her office as her editor is always on her neck to deliver. Now the bombshell Yinka wants her to quit her lucrative job, and by implication, her budding career to take care of her children. This is a job that took her several years of job-hunting to secure. She was not sure the job would be waiting for her when she decides to return. She is at a crossroads.
Many men are asking their wives to quit their jobs to take care of the children and for other reasons that range from perceived infidelity at the office and health grounds. If you were in this situation, what would you choose? Your home or your job?

Career-Home, am weighing it and neither one it tipping the scale, i know for a fact there's no way am burning all this money for lawschool if ammo end up a house wife. There has to be a middle ground, like maybe cutting back on work hours/parttime. Having a career isnt just about the money, its about passion too, some people can be fulfilled staying home with the kids but some of us need something more, a challenge and once you start getting bored, like they say."idle mind=devils workshop." I would cutback on work hours, no way i fully quit my job.

that is a very good reason why ladies are supose to be careful abt the course of study in school. while choosing your course of study you don't forget that you'll get married someday, take care of your children and husband so there can be peace in the family and everybody is happy.
i can't imagine myself leaving the house before my children wakes from sleep and would have been asleep before i get back in the evening. not eating with my family ..... not praying with my family. leaving my housemaid to preper my husband's food. i refuse!
she'll just have to quit the job unless she's ready to loose her husband and become a full time career woman.

it all depend on the circumstances surrounding her, if the husband calmly and sincerely sit her down and give her some reason why both of the cannot be coming back late to the house because of the children and provide an alternative solution for her like opening a business for her within or close the house then fine she can quit her job. but if the husband is not the loving and caring type and doesnot care how she and children feeds and he is asking her to quit her job i dont buy that idea at all. what i will advise her is to look for another job while she is still in her previous job that will give her time for her children because whatever a woman is working for is for her children and will like to see them becomes obedient and responsible children.

an irresponsible man will not tell his wife to quit her job, when he knows he doesn't care for the family.

Being married involves making sacrifices and as a woman, i do not think it will be a bad idea if she decides to quit her job for the sake of her family. Money isn't everytin in life and she should think of the up bringing of her kids, taking care of her husband as important as anytin in life. A woman contentment should be that she has brought up her kids well in our today's society, has her husband trust, love and affection becaus she took good care of him; spare herself the stress of her man having anoda lady outside becos the wife is not there and a hapi home. I believe the husband will come up with a good idea for her.

her husband's starting point will be the housemaid.

There's no way I would just sit at home all day just to 'please' my husband. The mere fact that your at home ALL day lookin tired and frustrated after caring for the kids day in day out is enuf grounds for the guy to start cheating on u. All you need now is to nag him about how tired ure feeling and he'll be out marrying a second wife!.. I know this is extreme but its true, men secretly respect a woman who is independent and has her own thing going on.. If i were in this situation, the only compromise i would be giving wud be working from home
