UK 🇬🇧 Life: Balancing Family and Work

[@gloriadestinyacademy1607]

That's powerful video Ginika, just my little advice, remove every non and take sense from all the nonsense people says. Your children and your family is the greatest treasure, if you work and lose your children from some addictions from the househelp what then is the gain?. All i want to tell you from my own experience is, do your best to do homeschooling with your children if you can't afford the school cost for now, that's how some diaspora mums do it. Again as PhD holder, i encourage you to find phd candiates online and help them in their research work so that you can work at home on your own time, Moreso, focus more attention on your KZbin content work, this also will generate income for you even as you stay at home. Paying for house help in the diaspora is quite expensive, Where we are you can't get house help for 600 usd per month unless the person doesn't speak English. So I want to encourage you to keep investing in your family, when your kids grow you will have all the time to work and be tired of working. In as much as there is health you will be tired of work, just look for online work and do it at your own time in your home. God bless you

[@ginikatalks]

Thank you so much for this detailed contribution. I truly appreciate it. I am actioning all your suggestions straight away.

[@freshbaberecipes6489]

I love this woman authenticity. I just followed you. I like your videos and you’re very real. Keep giving us more content ❤️

[@ginikatalks]

Thanks for this motivation 😀

[@PeterUchennaNnabuike]

You said it all. I kept on telling people that each family is unique and doesn't have a particular formular that must be applied in another family. Well-done dear. At the appointed time, God will make everything beautiful.

[@ginikatalks]

Amen. Thanks so much for watching and for this wonderful contribution

[@ThisSideOfLifeWisdom]

I think the problem is that people are inpatient. It takes some time to settle down, and thank God you are favored that you hit the ground running with a job. The children will get older and you can work. For now, work on preparing yourself for that time so that when it comes, you are ready. I applaud you. You are doing a great job, Ginika.

[@ginikatalks]

Thank you so much mummy for this.

[@NovemberReigne]

Ginika, you are doing a great job balancing motherhood , being a good wife and adapting to your new life in the UK.

[@ginikatalks]

Thank you so much for this kind comment.

[@jenniferngozi7948]

First of all,i want to commend you for your simplicity and honesty. For not living a fake life and painting the picture you are not. I don't normally subscribe to KZbin channels but after watching some of your video,i subscribed. Please don't change bcoz of family, friends or pressure mounters. A lot of our Nigerian ladies have thrown away our manners and good upbringings bcoz of pressures and trying to impress or be like others. Do what works for you, respect your husband ( coz that's the mean reason you agreed to stay home)and keep loving your family. You will reap your reward❤❤❤. God bless you for proving we still have good and godly women not withstanding their academic level. Cheers

[@ginikatalks]

Thank you so much for sharing this wholesome piece with me. I sincerely appreciate your time here.

[@SamuelEwulu-bq4tz]

God will reward you for being a faithful wife and mother. Soon we will congratulate you🎉🎉🎉

[@ginikatalks]

Amen! Thank you for watching

[@sarahreviewsinasmr]

I concur with your point. People differ. If someone can handle 10 jobs simultaneously doesn't mean another person can do the same. At best avoid such people who try to compare you to someone else cause they are bad news. I am glad you have wisdom from God to decipher the advice you should take.

[@ginikatalks]

Comparing ones self to another os a big joy stealer. Thanks for this.

People can put mouth in what does not concern them, the annoying thing about it is they hardly practice what they preach. I love the advice you put out where you said do what rocks your boat don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself and work things out on your own terms. Don't worry God is with you.

[@ginikatalks]

LadyKach for a reason!. Thanks alot for this sis. Cheers.

[@chidinduokoye6056]

I so much love your contents very relatable,one thing I have come to understand is that dishing out advice is so easy when you are not in the shoe leave people and their opinions. Do what's best for you and your family,there's absolutely no need to rush anything time will put everything in it's rightful place

[@ginikatalks]

I am glad you find this relatable. It is always easier to dish out advise. Exactly.... thanks alot

God bless you sister; you are doing great! Please ignore all these know it alls that couldn’t even walk a mile in your shoe. I have been in England my whole life and I can attest to the fact that what you are saying is correct; even for those of us born here! The lord is your strength 🙏🏽❤️

[@flaki8393]

I stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago and was attracted by your eloquence, realistic content and the fact that you mentioned Ilorin (I lecture at Unilorin). I usually hardly ever comment on videos but I felt you would appreciate some feedback from your audience that your content is refreshing, unpretentious and down to earth. Please don't be pressured by the opinionated backseat drivers who are self professed "experts" on every issue. Keep keeping it real and continue to do what's best for you. Cheers❤

[@ginikatalks]

PROBITAS DOCTRINA for a reason! I really appreciate this kind feedback. Thank you so much for being so generous to share this with me You have no idea how this made me feel. I am glad you mentioned you lecture in unilorin. We have a lot in common already. I am so glad to meet you here. Very much later on this space, I planned discussing some of our lecturing style in Nigeria vs the UK. I am glad to know I will have an audience for this kind of conversation. Cheers.

Life is in stages. The most significant thing is understanding the phase you're in, enjoying it, and working towards a better one. We should also learn to draw a line between showing concern and putting people under pressure. It becomes a pressure when you keep pushing someone for something you can't proffer solution to. This too shall pass❤❤❤

Exactly 💯 Enjoying the stage... Draw a line between showing concern and.... Thank you for this

[@lilicasablanca1056]

Balancing work and family life is hard in your home country even more so in another man;s country. Child care is expensive and it's not like you can ask a family member or friend to look after your child because the government check up on children especially if they are of school age..

[@ginikatalks]

This is true. Hard in one's home country already sef... the second sentence... thanks alot for this.

[@kemiajiboye2220]

First time commenting, I must commend your sweet spirit and realness. I feel you dear, I lived in New York with my family for some years and didn’t work, despite that I had a work permit, pressure from home is real, for different reasons, the same people that pressure you to work are waiting for you to start sending them money, most don’t have you interest at heart. Build, instil great childhood mermories and core values in your kids and enjoy motherhood and family together. Do only what works for you, na only you know where shoe dey pain you. Raising kids is already a 24hrs job, God will give you direction and honestly, you will never lack any good thing. Sure you know that already. Wealth and riches is relative ooooo. Ultimately be happy, trust and depend on GOD. Una go dey alright last last❤

[@ginikatalks]

That sending money back home, you finally said the unspoken code. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Wat can u advice someone he get 1 house nd about to roof d second one nd he is thinking may b he should sell one to japa wat is ur advice

[@ginikatalks]

Honestly, I don't think this space is the right place to get the best advice. Then, the scenario you described has so many missing details for even a professional to give advise. I want to believe the person is in Nigeria, and the person must be rich to have a house and currently roofing the other. Bear in mind that people japa for diverse reasons such as if their life is under threat. I mean I have heard a true life story of a rich family that left Nigeria because they were kidnapped and God helped them, the kidnappers could not bear to kill them, rather advised them to relocate for their own safety and lie low. Please I am sorry I can't give advise on japa because people japa for so many reasons aside the example I have just mentioned.
