If he was traditional, he'd be paying 100% of the expenses. There is nothing traditional about a man whose wife pays. Such a man is just selfish.If the farax and xalimo are both working full time, the man should at least do 30% and the woman 70%. However, these figures are for Somali men who are more traditional and less willing to do house duties. If it's a western farax and xalimo, the man should do 40% at least
I agree. But these days both men and women work but Somali men feel embarrassed sharing house duties when they look at how their fathers etc used to liveIf he was traditional, he'd be paying 100% of the expenses. There is nothing traditional about a man whose wife pays. Such a man is just selfish.
So why do they not feel embarrassed taking money from women?I agree. But these days both men and women work but Somali men feel embarrassed sharing house duties when they look at how their fathers etc used to live
From (young) Somali couples you know, how do they share the work?
You reminded me of my cousin. Biggest feminist you could meet. Got married, popped out 3 kids. The feminist personal is long gone. Her whole personality now being a momI prefer this wallahi shaxshax wayeView attachment 222685
They don't take money for themselves tho , it's going to the Bill's innit ?So why do they not feel embarrassed taking money from women?
Selective embarrassment that is simply motivated by selfishness. Nothing traditional about it.
What is embarrassing is making a woman pay and then getting her to do most of the cooking and cleaning.They don't take money for themselves tho , it's going to the Bill's innit ?
If both working & both sharing the house duties ,but only 1 pays the bills
What's the point
Then why working ?What is embarrassing is making a woman pay and then getting her to do most of the cooking and cleaning.
That is worse than a maid. At least a maid gets a salary and doesn't pay rent. That is simply using a woman.
I used the maid as an analogy.Then why working ?
A maid is unusual in the west ,we not in Saudi lol
Agree , that is why I'd advise young couples not to get kids until they financially stable .I used the maid as an analogy.
But my point is, taking a woman's money to pay rent and then making her do most of the cooking, cleaning, child rearing, child birth, breast feeding is straight exploitation. I'm NOT talking about situations in which they both share duties.
I see why divorce rates are high as the husband is taking and taking.
Could never be me bye. Stay still single or marry a submissive guy.You reminded me of my cousin. Biggest feminist you could meet. Got married, popped out 3 kids. The feminist personal is long gone. Her whole personality now being a mom
None. I'm willing to relegate to someone else.
I will pay for an au pair.
I'm vain and don't want post-natal stretch marks but I'm willing to be humbled by motherhood in the near future. A baby is a cute accessory (which I hope will look more like me) that I can't throw out for 18 years.You are not mother material tho View attachment 222694

Basra, I'm not a tomboy. I'm more a nymph that wears a crown of lilies on her head that is carefree and bad with chores. My small and delicate hands were not made for hard labour I would wither. That's why I'm allergic to broke.Naaah huuno, by all means do not be a mother. U will be miserable. Besides, even if u "Will" it with your mind, your womb is tombish and cannot carry a baby full term. But good luck if u really really really must
