it's not like you will be living in same room anyways, so just chill a bit, she be his mama, am sure you won't mind if it's your mama even if she does not like your husband.
Tell your friend to stop being paranoid & do her duty as a good wife. Her husband will naturally notice if his mama is constraining her in any way if he really loves his wife.

Don't be so sure. I'll mind...

What if he daughter's husband doesn't want her in their house.Its his house after all and we all know how Nigerian men think. The woman is afterall his wife's mother not his.

On the other hand, the woman wants to move into her SON's house, the son she bore and nurtured and made a man out of her loins. Abi your friend doesn't think she deserves to reap the fruit of her labour in her own son's house

A lot of men get married and still live with their wives in their parents home, with their parents still alive. So why can't mama move into her son's house

As far as she's not causing any troubles for the couple, I don't see this as a big problem.

Your friend needs to be a little more receptive towards other people.

Dyt:
Some MILs sha
I have had my fair share even without living together

sisisioge:


Babes, she said they don't get along. Why bring them together under the same roof? He could service his sonly duties while mama is safely tucked in her quarters biko. Obviously, you haven't seen any dreadful MIL at work before. The story gets dirty.

sisisioge:
Chai! Fear is already catching me on behalf of your friend already. I think she should tell the guy her concern, if he insists then na gobe be that o.

I think she needs to prepare a sort of armour in anticipation...

Ordinarily, the mother in-law wouldn't think of moving in knowing there is no love lost between her and the DIL if she hasn't been getting her ways with her in the past. The DIL should just be ready to change their relationship asap. No need to fight, no need to talk too much, no need to be rude...na body language! She shouldn't cower for her abeg. Just treat her like another long staying house guest. Maintain your stand and dignity...she no be god biko.

By the way, babes might need to invest in a CCTV o. Just in case things escalate beyond "wetin happen"...a picture speaks more than a thousand words!

Jeez! I don't know why MIL are like this, imagine this poor woman going bunkers just cos mma is coming...can't MILs be civil?

PaperLace:
Nobody can move into my house on permanent basis...nobody.

'but this isn't cast on stone_ it's in fact a very flexible rule. If push comes to shove, I can/will compromise.
This may be their chance to make-up, when you get to stay with someone long term, you'll see the good sides of the person you never knew (and the bad too).

So, she should relax. It might end well...

Ujoan:


So because her DIL doesn't like her she should avoid her own son's house. Trust me, I know about dreadful MILs, I also know there's always a way to handle people, no matter how difficult they are.

Why can't she at least make the effort and if it don't work out, find an alternative abode for the woman.

Why cast her away like yesterday's trash because 'they don't get along'

Greenbullet:
WHAT RUBBISH, WHY WILL A MOTHER IN LAW MOVE INTO A MATRIMONIAL HOME ,IS IT A FAMILY HOUSE, NO WAY I WILL NOT TAKE IT!!! PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIEND TO TELL HER HUSBAND THAT IF HIS MOTHER MOVES IN ,SHE WILL MOVE OUT BECAUSE SHE CANNOT BECOME A SLAVE IN HER HUSBANDS HOUSE.

Laburos:
No comment expect my response in 35 years time.

jasysandra:
I totally agree with you. A mother will always be a mother and as you are already one yourself, you should treat other mothers just as you want to be treated. If you think she hates you so much and wants to break your marriage, why did you even marry her son in the first place cause you said it yourself, she never wanted him to get married. The truth is, we see most of these things before marriage but we tell ourselves, we can handle them. You can't handle this one by stopping a woman from coming to stay in her sons house, you will end up being the bad person in the story. Let her in and leave the rest to God.

Mayflowa:


Ujoan! Ujoan!! Ujoan!!!. How many times I call you? Nor go there oooo. There are people you can't please no matter how much you try. Most of these people come in form of mother-in-law. Trust me on this.

missyge:
Nah. Wont allow dat o. Noy even my mother ooooo

sexymoma:
if she goes out in the morning and comes back in the night... she doesn't and wouldn't have a problem with her..
shebi na person wey she see she go dey act for..

realityone:
That is not scriptural. Don't accept the wrong thing because of emotions so that you don't blame yourself in the future. Let her stay with her own husband in the village and take care of him while my wife also take care of me.
