@Alphadoti

I think what we should be talking about here is not whether the lady is working or not. the important issue is whether she is able to balance the family attention and her job if you like. If a lady is in business,is she seen as a 'career lady'? Some business take more time than if someone was employed. A lady can be a housewife but has all these chamas and keshas that a man doesnt get to see her often either.... If you are to get married,i believe what you should ask yourself is what kind of lady you have,her commitment to family values and time and her ability to balance between family and whatever else she undertakes in her life.

Some deals are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

Am not against women working. There is nothing wrong with a woman who works. It is good for all. It is only when they start climbing the corporate ladder. Senior managers,directors in very demanding positions at the expense of their lifestyle and family,that is where the problem kicks in.

Fundamentals + Sentiments = Position

@wendz I agree there are very many good wives and mothers in the corporate world.
But look around,as responsibilities and demands from the job increases,
the more hours they put,the more unavailable she becomes to family.



@Luisa,if you're stable and have established yourself,pick a learned wife who will assist you in your businesses.
But if you require financial assistance to run a home,a working (did you say career) woman will give you a hand.
But you must be warry of which industry she is. Some industries are a trouble.

people who want different havent been exposed to the stay home woman

I knw a couple where the man became v sucsessful so he got his wife to stay home and manage family affaires. Let me tell,after a few years it was the jama who went to look for her next job. i leave it to your imagination to figure out what happened

No man needs all that energy concentrating into 'managing' and monitoring his life. plus if she is a stay home mom the man is her primary source of entertainment ... and hell. too much responsibility

This is simple,have two wives,one the trophy career wife for the social and financial prestige. Second wife the housewife who cooks,cleans and raises your children. Exercise your options,hapana kungethia ovyo ovyo.

When in doubt,follow the money.

So long as the woman can balance betwen her career and family it is ok. Although it's hard some have done well in taking care of their families while mantaining their work. All in all,for women business is the best option. Even for men it is better to be self -employed.

For career women it is usually hard to hold to their marriage. In fact most of the women in middle management and above are single. Some who were never married see the need of getting kids very late,with any man.

@Luisa,if you are a lady,do not listen to the men because they will tell you all sorts of things to discourage you from succeeding,becoz basically they are afraid of successful women. Your happiness comes first,why sacrifice it for the sake of a man who loves you conditionally?

THIS THREAD IS VERY INTERESTING,

It reminds me of smthing we were actually discussing the other week over lunch hour with some work mates(dudes & dudettes).After we had read that article on Nation.

The dudettes were of the view that dudes are useless and their work is only to 'post JV'
They claimed if its that...they can get it somewhere else other that to lift legs in the evening for their so called husbands who give orders day in day out.

Dudes (me being one of them) were of the view.......live senior bachelor's life and get some one to service you when your engines approaches the min mileage.

If you want kids.....simply get a house wife or no so much career women......those who dont want to climb the corporate ladder......you can tell who they are....otherwise you marry a key figure in the company and she gives your thighland to the collegues after meetings....

hahaha
