My Wife Doesn't Want My Mum Around.. by ConfessionsNgr: 8:56pm On Jul 31, 2015
My wife has been complaining about my mum's continued stay with us. She even told me in plain language that Mama should return to the village knowing fully well she has no one to stay with. I'm the second born and the first son, my elder sister is not in Nigeria, my two younger siblings are in the university and our dad is late. Mama has been staying alone in the village though she visit us once in a while. When she got sick, I had to bring her to Lagos for proper treatment. To be sincere, my wife did her best in taking good care of Mama during the period of her sickness but since she got better my wife want her to go back to the village. My mum is hypertensive and I still want to watch her to ensure that she is totally healthy before she leaves but my wife isn't patient with me. She insisted that I should get a maid to stay with her in the village and I don't have the financial strength for that now. I'm the one footing my siblings' education bill. And had it been they were around they would have stayed with her but they are in school. Will I stop their education because of that? My wife is not giving any breathing space on this issue at all.

First Ask your Mom how she would feel when she was Married and her Husbands Mother Is staying with her. For Pete's Sake Its a Marriage between two Souls A man or a woman, Not A Man, wife and Family Members. My Mom cant just stay with me when am Married. The guy in question should tell us how he would feel if the wife Mother comes to stay with them as well.

Yes she was sick and you brought her down to Lagos for treatment Yes its very Understanding and she is Okay Now. She should go back To the village, Or why not understand what is between Your wife and Mother Maybe they are not in good terms and they Might be pretending when you are around. A mother in-law is the worst to live with as a wife. Because The wife would rarely do anything Right. If you are a lady you would understand Better.

Am not saying you should treat your Mom like a Peace Of crap But Bro's you are Married, She can Visit and you can bring her down to care for her when she is sick But staying with you is a no no. Nothing would happen to her in the Village. If you love your wife enough try your best and get a village house help for your Mother. Let her go Back

Just ask her to give you more time. To make sure there won't be any relapse when she (mama) goes home.
It is not good for an old sick person to be alone without help so she (wifey) could help financially in securing the maid for your mama. She's like her mom too.

But it is not ideal for an in-law to stay indefinitely. before see finish will enter and they will start having misunderstandings. There's no need to be sentimental about it because it will most likely happen. prevention is better than cure.

That's why it will be a good idea for her to get the maid for mama since you've a lot of financial obligation yourself. If she can do that, then mama is taken care of and the peace in the home is preserved. Everybody wins.

I guess u don't av a mum if u do...,It shows u don't know her worth if this is all u could say.

How dare u type this trash,.
Even the word of God says "Give thanks to me(God) and to your mother.,she bore you in weakness after carrying in her tommy for 9months,your weaning in 2years,she suffered for u to be worthwhile.
Word of God further stressed that the paradise of a child is at the foot of the mother.

It is obligatory for u to take of ur parent at their old age,if she did not take care of u or gave birth to u,how would u become the husband of that woman.

The make up of a man is nt d same as dat of a woman, women don't hate dia mother inlaws dey just want dia own space exactly how d mother inlaw felt when she was just married to her husband, 10 men can sleep together in a room and nt have problems,but have u noticed dat. Females even from a very young age like to have dai own space,rememba university hostels,ow many girls stayed in a room at a time? Can u rememba d backbiting,strive,jealousy,fights both silent and noisy ones dat occurred.women are nt being wicked or selfish,it is just dia make up.but u can reach a compromise

I have a Mother and she is hale and hearty and a loving Mother so I dont need to start Any form of arguements with you, I sincerely dont need it But Like i rightly ask, How would u feel if your wife Mother Stays with you? You people always shout a husband Mother Like Your wife was not trained by a mother also, The next thing you would say is if the mother did not take care of the husband how would she see him and marry him, But have u forgoteen if her own Mom dint care for her too how would you marry her, You People just love to beleive a wife is a slave in Nigeria, She cooks,care for the homes,care for kids,stays home and you would come every night and rough her with or without her consent surely she has to do it because she is a wife abi... I blame the kind of Lady who marries people Like You. I really am sorry.

why would a husband mother stay with me, Kilode.. Who did she marry? husband or the Mother InLaw..??

In my place the woman's mom is the first choice to come for a new born baby. Just correcting that notion.

Anyway are you saying the woman's mom should be less important to her because the man is the head? Where una dey get all these mumbo jumbo from sef?
So if the wife's mom is sick it won't be ok for her to come and stay indefitnely but it would be ok if the man's mom did because he's the head? Smh.

I am an advocate of parents living with their kids. If you have any idea what these people go through, the boredom, the loneliness you would not think like this.

If the mother is not causing problems or trying to act like they boss of the home, then she should welcome to stay.
