Get Married and Start Working

Talking about the post. The question is, Is a spouse / partner seen purely as an income earner ?

In my opinion not all bring their spouse to work in Doha. May be a higher percentage look for Jobs.

Having said that, I am wondering how come a house wife can be bored with possibly having couple of kids. If you are hiring a full time nanny to do house jobs, means there is work at home. I’m not against Hiring a nanny and sending wife to work or stay home. The concerned individual will decide and know the best.

In this respect, I suppose a good house wife will organize a house and look after the children. In my case, my wife taught all the subjects of the school to my kid who is 7 years. As a result of that, He got awards in 4 subjects during the private award ceremony held in Qatar University. He’s doing well in all his subjects. Also the mother teachers the Quran as well for both my kids

On top of all, I spent time with my kids as well. Still I feel, I did not give enough time to my Kids.

I believe a wife is more suites to build up a better family, unless she has a rare talent which can cater for greater respect of the community or the country. (Money is not everything)

A job of wife can be differ person to person under their circumstances. Choosing the correct path is depend how deep they are connected with the visible and invisible nature of this world.

Above is my personal opinion and not directed to any particular person, group, region, community or religion.

No, she does not .....................

Brit, too many men marry although they can't afford it. A woman never gets bored if you give her QAR 5,000 every day for shopping. Does she deserve that? It depends, some do, some don't.

MM: I'm assuming that you informed the girl that she would be expected to work after getting married

The problem in Qatar is that due to this demand from spouses , companies are willing to pay low salaries

I agree with you Brit and I find it weird but not surprising. The logic for many is money. If we can get 2 salaries, why not? Unlike what many said here, boredom comes after money. Women work to earn more money for the couple and if this can also kill boredom it is fine but it is essentially for money. Also, for many -mostly- Western ladies, or let's call them "career-minded ladies", staying at home to care for the kids means having a gap in their CV. That's not conceivable for them and their career is more important than the well-being of their family. A nanny can take care of the kids so that the woman can enjoy her personal life/career/activities etc.

When the girl will come with a degree with 3 - 5 years of work experience ...... why would she sit down at home for 9 hrs just to wait for her hubby to come back ? Better she would earn another 5 - 7 K ............

@MM change to what? I don't get it. The point and on topic was "why many husbands ask or put their wife to work, after getting them RP"?

We must be ready to change ourselves with the circumstances for our own good ................

I agree with you Brity!

Excellent , Omarm ........ !!

I always heard that this was no place for career development

Look, my wife left her job to come here and join me. It's not about money, it's about career development. Also boredom can be a killer.

zackm: Herein lies the crux of the matter for many.. They bring their families over and then realise they cannot make ends meet - so, the only option is to put the spouse to work..

My point was - Does the spouse realise this when he/she comes over

"because she wanted to and she feels bored at home."

I second you. Nothing else.

@Brity, for most because their cost don't meet their need here. They need extra for kid planning, other luxuries, etc. My wife works, but its because she wanted to and she feels bored at home.
