The Diary Game || THE MANAGEMENT OF THE HOME SHIFTED || 10/03/2026

Hello! It's another beautiful day to report from my home in Uyo. I trust that you are all doing exceptionally good. Stay blessed even as you read through my day.

My writeup these days is nonetheless like a series using the postnatal framework to examine the time a wife is resting while the husband who is always away from home is becoming in charge and can only hand over when she is fully recovered.

From my report, you will see in detail how I am not only restricted in moments but directly doing all that needs to be done ranging from school runs, kitchen, and general cleanings. I would love you to read with me as I break my daily activities into phases to cover morning, afternoon, and evening.

The previous day, I got exhausted to the point of waking up later than the time my wife used to wake up and prepare food for our boy to take to school. This was the beginning of the entire exercise, getting serious. At 6:30 am I went out to buy packs of noodles to quickly make breakfast for my boy to go to school with. We have Mama “Money Stop Nonsense” who opens her shop as early as 5am. She will tell you that “the early bird catches the worm”.

Buying Noodles at the early Hours

I quite agree with her because people buy from her that early hours just like me who couldn't do like my wife. She used to get all her stuff in the evening, and by 4am, she's in the kitchen cooking and returning for fir morning prayer before our son will even wake up to go to school. I cooked the noodles, bathed him, did his home fun, and the school bus picked him up.

School Bus Picked up my Son

I continued with the house chores. Dishes piled up as I wasn't paying attention. My wife had been taken to have some rest away from home, leaving the boy with me. This is where you see the importance of women, wives. I started washing, from dishes to laundry and fetching water. I multi-task myself to some point. I was tired, and I had to lie down and regain strength for part two.

Washing Plates

At some point, I slept and woke up in the afternoon. The clothes I soaked with detergent and bleaching substances were waiting for me. About 1 p.m., I woke up and continued washing. Cleaning the house and thinking of picking my boy at 2 pm and what he will eat coming back from school. I quickly boiled rice as fast as I could, and it was done after he came back and tamed him with apathizer (biscuits).

Laundry Time

In all of these, neighbors are hailing me as husband material. The landlady that was sewing used me as a model of how a man should be in the house. Did they even know that I was dying inside? I know that I worked and overworked because, at this point, no one else will do them. My joints got tired, bones could not carry me again, having bent for hours to wash, clean, and cook.

The greatest pain of the day was the power outage. When I would have been under fan and entertained myself with music or the likes, there was no electricity. We can't explain what those controlling electricity are doing to salvage this problem that has become normal to deprive certain areas of electricity while the elites are not bothered.

Around 3 p.m., I was gradually finishing with the house chores and prepared to take my son to where my wife and our newborn baby were. It wasn't too long so she called me and told me to kindly visit a supermarket and pick a few items for her and also to bring baby stuff.

At about 4:46 p.m., I went to the Richway supermarket, a to my house, and bought some stuff for her, both the ones she demanded and the ones she didn't. In a moment, my son and I, together with our keke rider brother, took us to go and see the baby and the mother.

We got there at almost 6 pm. I spent time with my family and played with my newborn baby even when he was sleeping, I was shaking his hands to tell him that daddy was around. I spent quality time with them. My wife wouldn't want to see her son and I left her, but I had to take the boy home to prepare him for school the next day. It was about 10pm. that we finally left.

The Food I cooked

Managing the home is not easy, I give it to women. I did not do as much as my wife, but I was feeling tired. In all, I thank God that I was able to win as the new manager of the house.

THANK YOU ALL, HERE IS THE NEW DOMESTIC MANAGER
