To feel that many men are totally unprepared and unsuited to domesticity?

So what are the ~75% of you who have sons doing about it?

It's just a statistical fact. I never thought that it would be controversial. Mumsnet frequently tries to raise awareness of financial literacy in women.

You've got to understand that women need to have upfront conversations about money before having children. They then need to work out a financial plan for two people themselves, alongside their partners. If one parent wants to be sahm, then the other must pay into a pension for both, etc. It's planning and, unfortunately, bloody hard conversations.

I'm kind of sceptical of how hard this conversation is, to be honest. I'm fine for my wife to stay home. I receive tax benefits from my pension and pay into hers. She has her own assets, etc., but if God forbid we separated, she could cover the basics on her own.

A lot of men change after marriage. They think I'm married now, uts her job a lot of them actually get married to have someone do the chores and cooking. Especially Nigerian men. In my culture if someone sees a man cooking, they start asking him to get married to get a wife to do it

My partner is just lazy but also of a generation that have outdated ideas about who does what. Example, last week I knew I would be late back from work so asked him to cook dinner. He said he was "happy to pick up the slack". Outrageous, as I pointed out.

The ‘lack of financial literacy’ is something I associate with a much older generation from the times when women couldn’t have bank accounts.
Now it’s more that women are financially vulnerable in a relationship. Generally because of the ties of childcare and associated inability to earn more.
Certainly in my circles women are on top of financial planning as much as, or more than, the men.

Same

I said many women have poor finacial understanding google it. Not ever woman on earth.... youve misunderstood some of my insults which offends me feel free to have the last word.

I get that useless men like this exist. What I don’t get is why women marry or partner them.

I notice that a lot of women nowadays bang on about how men should call out sexism from their fellow men. But if a woman calls out sexism from other women she gets called a misogynist. 🤔

So would women have to take an exam or just men?

I would say the same about women. The ones .arried into my family are utterly useless. Most work 1 or 2 days and they can't cope with any responsibility at all.

Men and women are very different, so I don't know why we're all striving for them to be the same.

How could I be a student and illiterate babe? You don't seem to understand what you're arguing about.

Someone said that women have no concept of finances. I believe you were attempting to prove they don't. You said something about divorced women not understanding money.

I asked you for evidence of women having no concept of finances despite billions managing their own finances and many working in finance.

Now you're asking me if I'm illiterate. You're not making sense babe.

The problem is that you don't know what the word "many" means. Are you illiterate? I thought you were implying I was.

That's no way to act babe. No need for aggression, you'll do yourself a mischief.

I'm simply asking you to back up what you're saying.

Well no because even when a woman is working ft she still picks up most household chores, so not a point. I think thats crazy but socially accepted or was.

Well, in many cases it seems to be because the man is happy to work his arse off and provide an enviable quality of life while his wife works 2-3 days a week in a low stress job. The reverse is rarely seen.

That's the other side of the coin and most couples are somewhere in the middle.

I think you're not able to understand what is being discussed here or statistics. Log off!

Babe, I'm awaiting your evidence. You're making the claim that women have no concept of finances. Babe, some women work in finance, run large companies, manage accounts and babe, many women work for years and know what finances are.

Op is saying in general men are not equipped for keeping house.

Im saying yes and women in general lack finacial litracy whuchbis more important who cares what mrn dont do i care only about whst women need to know.

Urm babe illtracy means inabilty to read not inability to spell your weird

You jest surely? finacial illtracy?

What evidence do you have that women have no concept of finances?

Well dim was mean i apologies for that. Im saying the reason the ' men' enmasse are doing or not doing certain things, these men were raised by women, not teaching y9ur son housekeeping is where this begins.

Show me the data for ops assertion first........

People like you are the problem, finacial illtracy amongst women is so bad the govetnment is developing programs to help fix this.

People need to raise their kids to do and be better and women need to know what finacial planning is.

Are you a student?

I'm so dim that I'm going to need evidence. What evidence is there that divorced women have no concept of finances?
