The Breadwinner Madness

So boom. Let me tell y’all something about this society we in.... it’s straight-up contradictory and low-key goofy when it comes to relationships. You got chica out here wanting a man to be the breadwinner, the baker, and the whole bakery. He gotta pay bills, fund lifestyles, hand over majority of his wealth like it’s direct deposit for her personal dreams, while she come to the table empty-handed. Fresh outta high school, no career, no stability, but she want him already polished, career-stamped, and dripping wealth.

That’s not partnership. That’s daycare with benefits.

Sis don’t even want to relinquish power. She don’t want him to see her accounts, her bills,  not sharing anything.. She want the money funneled through her like she the treasury department. But the minute that weight feels heavy, she scream, “I’m doing a man’s job!” Girl, you picked the job title.

You want the crown without the kingdom. It’s like trying to be queen but refusing to sit on the throne ‘cause your legs tired. Baby, that’s not math...it’s madness.
