Am I Doing The Right Thing Or I Will Regret It by Tob456: 6:12pm On Jul 04, 2023 |
I have a 7 months old daughter her mother is an orphan, she is the eldest of 7. We broke up when she was pregnant because we had a disagreement about her siblings living arrangements. She wanted her 4 sisters to stay with us after the wedding and I only two of them to stay with us. The problem is seeing my daughter growing in a bad environment away from me makes me feel so bad. Whenever I visit her I feel so bad leaving her behind that I don't sleep well thinking about her all night. I also doesn't like the idea of having kids with different mothers. For my daughter's sake I want to get back with her mother for us to raise her together in the same house. But getting back with her means that I should also allow her 4 siblings to stay with us after the wedding. I am doing this for my daughter's sake but I don't know if I am making a wise decision. What do you guys think should I get back with her or forget about her and concentrate only on my daughter. Please help 28 Likes 2 Shares |

Sincerely, my heart is troubled reading your message. Life is just full of sorrows. Bro, if you have the resources please allow her to come in with her siblings, as the first born, she's just like mother to them. There's lot of reward helping orphan. 402 Likes 41 Shares |

So before impregnating her and planning on getting married Who were the sisters staying with Next is all the years of courtship, what was your discussion, I believed she would have given you a notice about what is too come but den love is blind, reality of the economy has opened your eyes But then Did you marry her and the sisters?? And what is the age group of the sisters?? If you are capable, get an accomodation for the sisters else where. 239 Likes 9 Shares |

How can you agree to two of your wife's sisters living with you after wedding, together with your wife....? This is marriage and not family meeting or reunion o.. By the way, Don't they have where they are presently staying...can't they remain there after the wedding? For your wife-to-be to even utter that statement sef.....I doubt if she really likes you or your ability to "provide". #My own thoughts sha... 211 Likes 11 Shares |

If you have the means to Carter for all of them without financial stress , go ahead . But if all you have can only care for your daughter and her mother, don't succumb to such ransom that she is holding you on. Now that she doesn't live with you, where are her 4 siblings living? You can be part of your daughter's life without her living with you. I raised my son like that, paid and still paying his fees, upkeep, and many other things. He only comes for holidays once school is on vacation. Your baby mama is selfish towards you, she only cares about her siblings even at your own expense. I detest women like that. She wants to sacrifice you for her siblings, that is wickedness 182 Likes 8 Shares |

I know a nice guy in my area that relocated to village because of this same thing. He has 2 kids with the wife. The wife had a boy from her previous relationship. The wife's two sisters also joined them in a small single room apartment. He discussed with the wife severally. She didnt accept and she is has no job He has been sleeping in his shop for more than 2 years without touching the wife. All of them were feeding from his pocket. No Savings. He couldnt pay the shop rent. He recloted to the village and the wife refused paying him a visit til date. You stil have the final say 279 Likes 15 Shares |

madridguy: How bout the lot of stress helping the Orphan will give him??. He said he can only afford to cater for two isn't you an advocate for the girl not satisfied?? Do you know the current cost of taking care of 4 people at the moment?? Then I'm sure she'll expect him to also buy them clothes. lets not even talk bout the disrespect that'd follow on the longer run Tob456 A wise old man use to say "It is very easy to invite a mad man to your house with just a finger but pushing him away with 10fingers will be very difficult" 95 Likes 1 Share |

I'm going to be very honest with you. That girl is a very self centered person. She doesn't love you, she just trying to use you to give her siblings a better life. For you to even suggest that 2 of her siblings can stay with you after marrying her and she rejected and insisted that it must be 4 should tell you the kind of person she is. She's even ok that you guys can go your separate ways if you're not ready to accommodate 4 of her siblings. Did you bother to ask her if she's ready to cater for the additional 2 she's advocating for? Is she expecting you to feed people you didn't plan for? My brother, if you marry that girl, you'll suffer. She won't respect you, she would fight you constantly, she won't shift grounds to do anything for you, whatever decision that must stand in that marriage must come from her. Yours wouldn't even be considered. And worse of all, she and her siblings would abandon you after milking you dry. My advice, let her be, you're not making any mistake, you're avoiding one. Catering for a wife, a daughter and 4 additional people in this era isn't funny. And if she isn't doing any reasonable job to back you up, believe me, you'll die before your time. 304 Likes 27 Shares |

From the OP write up he's willing to abide the condition of his baby mama. Check his previous post concerning this issue. He can't let his daughter go and the condition for having his daughter is bringing additional five people. Offpointng: 7 Likes |

Pierohandsome: Very selfish, lackadaisical and inconsiderate and I hate women like that with passion. If the siblings were to come from the guy's side, I'm very sure she'd refuse in the strongest language They'd probably be eating 1 Congo of rice ,1 Congo of beans or 5kg of semo at a go anytime they want to eat, then calculate twice or 3x daily, that's 80k or more every month. ehhh Oloun o 51 Likes 3 Shares |

And a proof is rendering evidences she doesn't have resources enough to cater for the child and most importantly the child's mental health especially staying amongst a family that's Nuclear but yet Extended 24 Likes |

Tob456: There is no way you will be forced to carry those her siblings along with you after marriage, but then... Whats your capacity, can you assist in supporting them from where you are, to wherever they will be Am sure they are living some where and are feeding too What kind of help do they need and how can you assist them Both you and your baby mama should look into this issue She is feeling for them and now it's affecting the parenting of your child So find out what kind of help them need and how you guys can assist them together You can as well pick the last two children No one knows tomorrow 3 Likes |

People go just dey born children dey go without thinking of "what is if I die or permanently incapacitated by sickness, how will my young children survive"? She has so many baggage which should not be your primary obligation, you can have two of her youngest siblings live with you both and get her to have both her paternal and maternal sides support in accommodating others while she sends something to them regularly. 7 Likes |

The two of you are not serious. You see Seven orphans with the eldest sister just being a little bit off age and instead of you supporting them from afar Or seeing how you can help them grow up to some level of independence, you decided to reason with your waist for what ever reason you thought was best. Then after the thing has boomeranged, you are now saying she should discard other siblings. Na So e take easy to discard siblings because of man? You don't have money, you went to impregnate an orphan with 6 sisters. Now you have added an infant to their predicament. Then that your baby mama needs serious beating because with their condition, "man" should be the last thing on her mind. How she got pregnant for a man who is not her husband with the hope that he will take her and her sisters into his house after marriage is pure madness. Oga stay away from those kids let them find their life abeg. If your daughter is the problem, please take her away and take care of her yourself. Leave them alone. People should learn to stop adding drama to people's drama. This is not about you being a simp or whatever. This is about you not being able to see that what those girls need is someone to guide then through life. Just let them be. Na beg i dey beg you. 26 Likes 1 Share |

Truly it won't be easy but if it can be possible for you to rent another house for them and also if they are matured enough to get a job too, so they can always support themselves. A family of 4 are finding it difficult to feed in this economy, talk more of a family with plenty adults. It is well May God see you through. 6 Likes 1 Share |

They will just kill you and keep you stagnant for nothing. proper feeding of yourself and your wife a week ,cost nothing less than 10k. Imagine adding extra 4 grown up adults. Baby expenses is skyrocketing. Saddly people never appreciate in the nearest future, you like house all of them. Tomorrow your brokenness will be discussed in the open. Little wonder the Rich have nothing to do with the Poor, not even when it comes to marriage. 38 Likes 8 Shares |
