If your husband offered to help you start a business today but attached one condition, would you accept it?
I've been a full-time housewife for years, taking care of my home and my children. Recently, my husband said he wants to open a shop for me so I can start earning my own income and stop depending on him for every little thing.
But there's a condition.
He said once the shop starts running, I should choose between taking responsibility for our children's school fees or contributing to the family's feeding expenses.
We have three children, and their school fees are ₦150,000 per child.
Honestly, I don't want to remain a housewife forever. I would love to have something doing, earn my own money, support myself, and also contribute to my family. At the same time, I know that running a business comes with responsibilities and risks.
Now I'm confused.
If you were in my shoes, would you choose to remain a housewife, or would you take the opportunity to start the business and help with either the school fees or feeding expenses?
What would you do, and why?
