Feeding your family and taking care of all their needs is your SOLE RESPONSIBILITY. If anyone chooses to help, even if it is your wife, they are only helping — it is never their responsibility. If you truly understand this, then you should also know that there is nothing legitimate you should ever be ashamed of doing to fulfill that responsibility. Is it Uber? Is it Keke? Is it POS? Whatever it is — even if society calls them “petty jobs” — as long as it is legitimate and puts food on your table, do not mind the crowd. They will not feed you. They will not pay your bills. You are only a man if you rise up and take your responsibilities. If you deliberately refuse to, then please get yourself a skirt and blouse, apply some make-up too with a touch of Pink lipstick, because you have lost your masculinity. ~Hidima, PhD.
@Realoilsheikh Powerful words, deep truth! A real man is defined by responsibilities, not by pride or the opinions of others. Respect to every man hustling legitimately (Halal) to care for his family.
