Is it Okay to Pound Yam for your In-laws? by Nettybrown(m): 7:51am On Dec 21, 2019 |
Many of us do things without considering if they are right or not. There is this friend of mine who visited his in-laws. Few hours after arriving, my friend over heard them arguing because the father in-law wanted real pounded yam as he was tired of poundo, but their house maid travelled the previous day for a burial. My friend knows his wife cant pound,so he called his wife and offered to assist. He told me this while we hanged out last night and its been bothering me. So my question is, IS THIS REALLY RIGHT? No insult pls. 1 Like |

No big deal in it. Only a person who is naturally humble and always willing to help voluntarily without thinking of any bad side to it at that spot can do it. In summary, being naturally humble and having the zeal to always help out won't make one see it as a big deal or see it as an act that will make one loss his respect. They didn't call you to come and do it, you just want to help out. So, no big deal! 17 Likes |

Nettybrown:Na so people de fall their own hand later they will say in-laws have no regard for them. Tomorrow now they will call him to do pounding whenever he is around, and if he refuses, they will blackmail him that he has changed. A visiting husband, who heads his own family, has no business offering such assistance to the family of his wife except he is living with them. If I were him, I'd rather ask my wife to get someone to help pound it while I pay the person. It is not pride, it is class! 15 Likes 2 Shares |

I will never do it myself But since he volunteered n was not asked to do it then its a little bit manageable. There is a tin line bw humility n timidity Nb If he is very poor then he has no business not doing it n vice versa |

Nettybrown: I don't understand who did the pounding: The wife (daughter of the family) or the man (SIL)? In their culture, who traditionally pounds yam? Men or women? |

Why is it such a problem? If your wife offers to help your mother in your family’s house will you have a problem with it? I’m sure if your wife does the exact opposite and does not offer to help in your family’s house you will still come and open thread to cry about it. Even sef, if your wife offers to help you family with money (the one thing you men say is your sole responsibility). You will have no problem with it. 17 Likes |

He did it for love lol... But he should never try that again... If he pounds it the second time, he would keep pounding and won't be able to say no... So I had to ask mom again lol... She said it's outright nonsense... And that he should never ever try it again... And again.. Did you guys drive down there or you boarded bike... ![]() |

The FIL has been eating poundo yam even with the maid around but now wants to eat yam pounded by his SIL. I don't even understand. If the maid travelled the day before, he cannot rest from the yam till she returns? 2 Likes |

Really? I thought a SIL is like a son to his in laws like the way his wife is like a daughter to his parents. Heaven forbid if genders were reversed! Do as I say not Do as I do! ![]() TonyeBarcanista: 9 Likes 1 Share |

Her FIL sounds demanding. He would take advantage of it if he does. FIL should respect himself in other people's house. This is type of guest you won't want visiting again. 1 Like |
