I understand you sir but this happened about 5 years ago and she has not even enter 60 then. I have washing machine and market to our house is not up to 5mins walk. Even most times she will tell me to bath my baby that she's tired. I know how my mum treat other people children and she treat me differently. From my childhood, we were never close even though we lived together. She believes my father loves me more than her which is even not true. Like is it my fault for my daddy to love me? Stop killing yourself. Hire someone to do the job until the baby comes of age then your mom can visit. |

Our is still serving us. Those of u who who don't know how and where u started will alway claim what u have written above to safe face. If i may ask what aspect no longer serve man? What aspect does a woman not having inheritance in her fathers estate serve? What aspect does women having to endure humiliating rituals after the death of her husband serve? What aspect does the Osu outcast system serve? And lots more.... Even the Omugwo culture no longer serves its purpose as it has become an avenue for conflict and exploitation of the daughter's family. It will be cheaper and less troublesome to hire a nanny. Why will a woman leave her husbands home and her work to go and do nanny for her daughter's family. It is assumed she is jobless. What will happen to the husband and her own family when the mother is away for 4 to 6 months to do omugwo? 1 Like |

Ijelenwanyioma simple,tell her not to come. It is not a must that she would come for omugwopost=122408166:
I am pregnant and by special grace of God, I am expected to have my baby in 3 months time. The issue is that I don't want my mother to come for my omugwo. I am her only daughter but she hate me so much. At first I thought it is old age but she's just 60+ and I have seen older women treating their daughter right.
The last omugwo she came I saw hell, I gave birth on Monday and she came on Thursday. I had 3rd degree tear(that type that they will stitch from anus to vagina) I explained to her that I can't stand for long because of the pain. Meanwhile before she came, a woman from my husband place was taking care of me and she won't let me come down from bed except to eat, bath, breastfeed my baby and sleep. But when she saw my mum, she stopped coming. The woman already prepared soup and kept inside freezer on Wednesday before my mum arrived. It was that soup we ate till Sunday. On Sunday morning I asked my mum what we will eat and she told me to wait for people that are coming to visit us so I can send any of them to market and cook. Like how can I send my visitor message? So I waited for my husband and son to come back from church. I just took tea and also served her. My husband went to market and bought the things I needed to make stew. My baby was sleeping and I went inside kitchen to make stew. My mum sat down comfortably in the sitting room watching film and gisting with visitors that came to see me and my baby. I was in serious pain but I have to cook what me and everybody will eat. I served her the food after cooking and she gladly ate it. She's is neither sick or having pain anywhere.
My mother never cook anything in my house for 4 months till she left. The day I mentioned it to her. She started crying that she knows I hate her like my father. Like how? I even expected her to apologise and lie that she wasn't feeling fine that day. Among all her children, I give her more money but she always show me I am not important.
The problem is, even though this is my third child, I can barely take care of child under 1 month. Apart from cooking, my mum always makes me cry by telling me some very harsh word. She will force me to drink very hot water that I can't even pour on my skin. If I refuse to drink she will get angry and start her wahala again. I don't just want her to come to my house again for my mental health. O ti su mi 😭😭

My dear, postpartum mental stress itself is enough for a woman than adding more garri to the milk on ground.
If you are capable, engage the service of other women in the hood that will help you do the stuffs in exchange for money. She will ask, just let her know they are helping you.
As for your mum, pls whatever she do, don't be mad at her for your own blessing in life n heaven hereafter. You have to deal with her with wisdom without causing chaos.
Let her come and tell her how difficult it is at the moment to feed more ppl in the house. That will shorten her stay.
She is so comfortable, that is why she dey stretch leg on table watch Africa Magic.
If you have to, don't subscribe sef make u block her ally vision.
Na she go go herself. But don't fight with her. Wisdom is the weapon 🔫🔪
God will see you through. |

Use your husband for protection. My father told me "a woman whose husband is alive does not offend anyone". Just ask your husband to make the call or you tell her your husband has taken care of it from his side of the family. She will not blame you. There is a difference between Omugwo and holiday. You mum is coming for holiday, a get-away from her stay in her matrimonial home. Don't indulge her if she will bring you stress instead of comfort. |

Then find a way to tell her not to come, however you want to do it. she will try to blackmail you emotionally ignore, she can come after 4 months or so when you are properly healed and can accommodate her whims.
A new mother doesn't need all these drama.
That said, a lot of grandmother's may not have the strength health wise to do all what omugwo entails due to old age sometimes the grandmother's get tended to by the person that is supposed to be taken care of.
This just adds more stress to the new mother if you ask me. I feel a younger person should be accompanying the old women for the omugwo but then there's also the issue of feeding two extra mouths for months. I don't know how we expect a 70 year old to cook, wash baby clothes tend to baby, press new mum's belly, go to market etc and etc.
Better still kuku let a younger person that has all the strength come alone and do all the work. The mother will cope with bathing baby. Just saying sha.
This mothe is in her 60s.... She's not too old to take care of a baby.... She's just lazy.. She has no reason to stay in that house beyond 3 days after the naming |
