gnchetts: Please house I need an advice for this.

I'll clock 29yrs old on Jan 4th and my Husband is only 2 months older than me.I didn't really bother about the age barrier because I was already deeply in love with him before I found out.

My problem now is that am being forced to call his younger ones Aunty's and brothers and greet them in the morning. This is really very difficult for me because I gave his immediate younger sister 3years and my husband is even supporting them that is their tradition in Okija,Anambra state but I've never had about such tradition in any part of Igbo land.

Please what do I do. Am really dumbfounded.I've not been talking to my husband for 3days now and am not ready to visit his family until u advise me on the right thing to do. Because am not ready to humiliate myself to that extend.

thanks

She calls u Aunty, call her mummy....SIMPLE.
Dont be too emotional about parallel titles as signs of respect!
.
Or do u want the cleaner to call u by ur name ''FRANCIER, WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO''....people respecting doesnt mean u dont respect them MORE!
.
Respect is reciprocal irrespective of difference in class, position or status!

But the truth is i prefer my name called than all this title that actually not signify respect in the real sense. Personally i prefer the sister and brother title from an older or younger person than Aunty... Am i his/her dad's or mum's sister kind of sound awkward for me... Especially in an official environment (office).

Kail you may not understand that, in truth Aunty is supposed to be a word used to refer to your father or mother's sister but somehow we use it as a respectful way of referring to older females even if they are not related to us so yes! It is a Nigerian thing in the context being discussed here.

gnchetts: Big thanks to everyone.I've tried to make peace. My husband tried to expain to me why he wants me to do it,he only want to avoid anything that will make them hate me at this early stage. I've decide to call them Mummy c,Mummy u. For the boys I can call them ogas,i will always add ma & sir and even great their last born while I make fun out of it all.Am so grateful for all your advice,they helped me alot.
