Op, next take your food to the room and eat by yourself, whenever she is around. It will save all unnecessary attention |

Some comments here are just annoying... If you grew up in a normal home, it's a normal thing to greet the elderly ones after eating, I don't see the big deal here. 6 Likes |

It is proper table manners to thank anyone that serve u a meal, even if it's your maid or your wife. Not to talk of your mother inlaw. 2 Likes |

Hehehe. This is Africa sir. If you don't see any need to thank her, at least say something pleasant like "mama enjoy your meal." That's if she's still eating or "mama hope you enjoyed your meal?" Simple stuffs like that. 6 Likes 1 Share |

BellaElla: Proper in what way? What are you thanking her for? Don't get me wrong, we were taught the same thing but with a difference. You say it to your own parents or whoever provided the meal. How does this make sense to you? These are the reasons why i believe Nigerians need serious re orientation. 1 Like |

In the African culture, we are taught to respect our elders and that they can do no wrong. That would be fine if in fact they did no wrong. It is a culture that was made to subdue and enslave the mind. And that is why Nigeria has been held back for so many years by these so called Elders/political leaders. The same eh sir/yes sir culture has corrupted the whole place. And BTW, I think it is right to be thankful when it is deserved. |

Yes, it's necessary. She's your elder and courtesy demands you thank your elders after eating at home. It won't take anything away from you. Be respectful bro. 1 Like |

This is the most Dumb question I have ever come across.. @op is not as if you don't know the right thing to do its simply your ego that is killing you.. Respect for elders will certainly earned you respect when you are old Anyways everything boils down to up bringing mostly culture..if you were taught to respect your elders in every ramifications then you should have known better.. |
Re: Is It Right To Say 'Thank Ma' To Your Mother-In-Law After Eating? by Nobody: 11:36am On Mar 26, 2017 |
Op u are very stoopid asking this question, so u mean if it were ur father in-law u won't thank him. Black men , u people are just clearly unintelligent and full of ego. Tufia. |
Re: Is It Right To Say 'Thank Ma' To Your Mother-In-Law After Eating? by jossy404: 11:37am On Mar 26, 2017 |
@OP ....it is actually a cultural thing. If you are from Urhobo or Isoko land and some igbo land you thank all the elders around one by one whenever you finished eating ........but if you are from Yoruba a simple appreciative gesture is okay for all. Same goes for Yoruba prostrating when greeting ......while a typical south-South person see it as not right to prostrate before humans....... Summary: cultural differences 9 Likes 1 Share |

Hypocrites plenty for this forum i swear! Imagine someone here saying when he takes his friends out he tells them "thank you" And to those saying "its normal".....its not normal anything! Unless you are in their house, its only normal to thank her and her husband after eating! 2 Likes |

akankemi1:as a Yoruba boy too, I was just laughing as I'm reading some comments here. This is the first time I'm hearing something like this too because the food that it's my mom that prepared it gan I can't remember saying thank you though I do acknowledge her efforts and say something like " what a delicious meal" and it doesn't mean I don't respect my elders Thank you for what? Sitting when I'm eating? Well, it's their own culture sha 6 Likes |
Re: Is It Right To Say 'Thank Ma' To Your Mother-In-Law After Eating? by BellaLuce: 11:40am On Mar 26, 2017 |
This is really weird. Where I come from we don't say thank you to our parents after eating except to the person that served you. I remember years ago when I was younger, I went to a friend's house and heard her thanking her mum after a meal. I thought it was cool and started thanking my mum also, but she ignored me whenever I thanked her! After a week or so, she told me to stop thanking her after eating as it sounds strange to her for a child to thank a parent after eating. And I come from a perfectly structured and normal family where I was raised right to always say 'please' and 'thank you' . For guys shouting it's lack of respect, remember this: culture differs. 3 Likes |

akankemi1: @ thank you ma for waking up and shitting. Well, those in support that the OP should have said thank you to the MIL are mostly the igbos because that's how they do it there. But to me that's nonsense as it doesn't make any sense except it was the MIL that cooked or served the meal. Thanking the wife for a well prepared meal is in order or for serving him but for the MIL, that's nonsense. |
