My Wife Is About To Put To Bed, Please Advice. by KOPArespect: 10:20am On Jan 14, 2022 |
I will try to cut the long story short... I am 29. my wife is 26 I got married in 2018 and ever since, there is hardly a week that my mother-in-law will not come visiting without my pre informing me. I hate this as i usually result into sleeping on the couch since i was not financially bouyant to get an apartment then... we were staying in my fathers house. This act continued for long that i had to react by telling my wife that she should at least always inform me whenever her mum is coming , and each time she inform me, I usually pass the night at a friends place and the woman eventually noticed it. One day, she came, i prostrated to greet, she answered and started accusing me of not calling her, that she is not here to meet me, she only wants to come and greet her daughter. ever since that day, my everyday plan was relocating to another state, as such, i started applying for jobs outside my state... Good enough, i got a job in Osun State and had to relocate there with my wife. for about 1 and 7 months now, they've been communicating on phone and i only call her to ask if they've seen my alert on every festive periods. The issue right now is that my wife is heavily pregnant and my business mother MIGHT not want to come stay with us for long abandoning her business... And i am very sure my mother-in-law will want to come. coming is not my problem, how long will she stay is my issue, what if she didnt leave after 1,2,3 months? i am planning of sending my wife to my mum for better care, but i dont want to miss my wife too... please advice, what should i do? 4 Likes 1 Share |

See wahala for where there is no good communication in a marriage. Your wife should have known your plight since, she would have told her mother what to do, the mother inlaw is not a witch, she is trying to be friendly with you, your wife is the best person to tell you how it will be not anyone here on nairaland . Act like a married man for Christ's sake!!!!! You both owns the home and need to plan ahead of the baby, ask your wife questions. You both should have known since na 7 Likes |

You are simply not supposed to be living in Nigeria. I think u have a problem as a person not your mother in law. You so much love yourself,your business mother but u don't love your mother in law at all. Pls,rethink your ways of handling things. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Your mother-in-law will be a great help in times as these. By the time your wife gives birth, and you see all that is happening, you will wish her to be around for 6months or more. Infact you may need an additional hand apart from your Mother- in -law. Just do the best u can and be Happy. Don't kill yourself to Please anyone. Congratulations in advance. 3 Likes |

I understand your plight however, it isn't compulsory anyone comes to stay with you. You both should reach a consensus on what you want as regards a helping hand. If you need help, allow the mom come over, give her her respect and vice versa. Set your boundaries and ensure everyone is taught to respect them. Live for peace and enjoy your home. Trust me, many mothers know how to respect themselves. 2 Likes |

Your mother inlaw is the best person that'd take good care of your wife (her daughter) and the baby. Though i'm not saying your mother isn't capable of taking care of your wife but your mother inlaw is very much capable in doing that as her daughter Moreso, try to be friend with your mother inlaw. Stop being moody whenever she's around. It's a red flag to her that she isn't welcome Lastly, she'll not stay in your house forever. Maximum 2 months she's gone Be free with her 2 Likes |

Be happy you even have someone who's willing to come do these things for you. There's no issue with the woman, simply discuss with your wife how long you want her mum to stay with you & your wife will do her magic Appreciate having people around, but always communicate with your wife to avoid being grumpy in the house |

How dare you say your own mother will take care of your wife better? That’s an insult to your wife and her mother. Women are accused of hating their Mother in-laws, meanwhile men are also guilty too of hating their mother in-laws. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

KOPArespect: You have tried If you want to send your wife to your mum to look after, that's a good idea Just tell your that you want her to be with your mum so that she can look after her, so far you know that your wife and your mum have a good relationship She may tell you she prefer her mum's place, tell her that you are not financially stable and if things you can do is done by your mum, you won't feel bad about it That her mum is free to come over and visit her their Just stand on your ground at this first instance so that your mother inlaw will have no option than to go and greet her daughter there 1 Like 1 Share |

Honestly u are totally annoying... Your very busy businesswoman mum will not leave her business to take care of your wife and the baby, the one that could create time to come and take care of your unborn baby free of charge you were thinking when she will be leaving even before her arrival... I thought they said it was only women that dislike their mother in-laws, and everything they represent...I can just imagine your thoughts and reaction assuming reverse was the case, your mum came and your wife went to her girlfriend's house to pass the night.. I just.. in short.. let me swallow my words because your unaccommodating behaviour and issues is not worth stressing 7 Likes 2 Shares |

KOPArespect:are you okay? Sending her to your mum for better care when her mother is still alive? Y'all should start knowing that once you marry, you're automatically making the other people your family too, I don't see where this woman offended you for you to have so much contempt for her. Better behave if you don't want to start initiating crack in your home |

Mr poster, I must confess that I'm disappointed in what you posted. Your mother-in-law is not a stranger but also your mum. You should even consider yourself lucky she's available to check on you regularly. It's not as if she interferes in your marriage. You really have a huge problem. You just hate her for no reason. Work on yourself and invite her over to come take care of your wife and kids. Treat her well like you would treat your own mother. I wish you all the best and safe delivery to your wife. |

KOPArespect:There is another, saner option, practiced in saner climes, and that is for you to care for your wife and baby after she puts to bed, this without involving any member of the extended family. Tell your mother and your mother-in-law that you are ready to do as oyinbo(and all other people wey no be Africa and Nigeria) dey do am. So make dem no come at all. Dem fit come for naming and go back but you and your wife go care for the baby and send them pictures regularly. 1 Like |
