Should Women Forget Their Jobs After Marriage Just To Raise Their Kids Alone?


I heard something on air yesterday. A man on a talk show said the westerners have encouraged African women to get a job at the expense of their family, forgetting we have a culture in Africa, where women are meant to stay at home and bring up their children to be responsible kids in the society. He said and I quote 'when the children are old enough to take care of themselves, you can now go and pursue your career as a woman'.

Sadly a lot of women have emulated the western culture, pursuing their careers and running their homes at the same time, which will leave a lot of things unattended too. You cannot do two things together, you cannot eat your cake and still have it, he said. Women are meant to stay at home and raise their kids and be responsible wives he concluded.

Do you agree with him? Do you think women should face their marriage squarely after getting married to raise their children alone?
