THE HOUSE HUSBAND

Hello all you wonderful people! whats up? No, wats app? *winks*. I trust you all are cool.... Its cool around here too, just the normal normal, u know what i mean.


How do you like this pic? say the truth....

I know whats going on in your mind right now, trust me. I'm no psychic, but i know the trend.

The ladies will be saying "oh... this is so romantic!". While my naija guys will be like "WHAT THE F**K!"

The truth is, this is an unusual sight, for girls that find it romantic and for naija guys that thinks its crazy. Its not everyday you see a full grown man tying a baby to his back and doing laundry at the same time.

My mind did a little wondering as to were the mother of the baby might be at this particular time. You might have better ideas than i do, but one possibility is that she has this job at a new generation bank, and works 7 and half days a week  6 days a week.

Another possibility is that she recently got tired of staying behind the shadows and wants to pursue a career in politics, and consequently went for one of their "political meetings".

As a person, I will always vote for women coming out of their kitchen to help contribute to society. The few that have done that in Nigeria so far did wonderful jobs, totally ignoring the likes of one time speaker of the house and her like. However, there are things that this career woman must not overlook, in the interest of our society.

One of such things is the development of the children. I'm sure there are greats guys out there that are making and will go ahead to make the best dads ever, but truth be told, many men suck at taking care of kids. I dont want to go into what happens and the psychological imbalance that might be the product of having a child raised without the mothers love, care and attention.

I once read a report that believes that one of the causes of homosexuality is having a child grow up without the love and care of either the mother or the father. I dont know if i believe this report or not, and i dont want to find out either. Just saying, you never can tell.

I'm taking so much of our time already, so I'll just wrap up by making my point if you already have not gotten it. As we go about creating HOUSE HUSBANDS and HOUSE WIVES, we should keep an eye to the effect it can have on the family, and ultimately the society. If you go to work before your kids wake up, and return after they've gone to bed, you are totally on your own!

Have a blessed week Y'all....
