Pls, Is It Advisable For A Man To Drive His Father In-law To A Social Function? by Nobody: 4:43am On Mar 31, 2011 |
Is it advisable for a man to drive his father in-law to a social function, please am juSt so confused, my wife's parent are to go to an important ceremony and their driver was absent from duty, unfortunately for me, i was at their place with my family members(wife and children). Is it advisable to offer help or i should also look for a way to excuse myself(which was what i did anyway).This has caused a great debate among my friends, and also my wife is angry with me, please I need your advice, incase of next time. |

I don't see the problem. I think the problem might arise if your father in laws goes and sits in the "owner's corner" like you people do in Nigeria. I am pretty sure that is why you hesitated to offer theman a ride |

Why wouldn't you offer the man a ride? Wouldn't you want him to offer YOU a ride if you were in need? This is ridiculous! Are you THAT selfish? |

A man should see his father In-law as his own father. |

You are one ndisime man. Is your father-in-law not your father? There are somethings your common sense should tell you to do. Maybe the common sense is not that common anymore |

The poster seems not to: -Love his wife -Understand what marriage is all about However, there a few exceptions when a man may say no. If he would refuse to drive his father to a place he finds objectionable, he could do the same for his father-in-law. For example, if your father-in-law asked you to drive he and his family to his secret society's social function, you really ought to say no if you find where he is going objectionable, QED! |

i quite agree, if u begin to see ur FIL as a stranger rather than ur father and a family then there's bound to be problem cause the day your mother would want to come for a weekkend the wife may say there is no space in the house for an extra person |

@all, Thanks, I so much appreciate your responses. Yes, truely I come from the race where elderly people are respected. But, I was just so confused maybe its right to drive him to a function I wasn't invited to. I know there is nothing bad in driving my FIL, but since its to a social function, that was what got me confused and made me do what I did, |

There is nothing wrong in it, however, be-careful, cos he might make it a norm . . . . I would rather call a driver that i might know to do the job if i dont wanna automatically become his driver |

Some people are just nuts. How does rejecting not to drive someone equate to not loving ones wife --- that's absolute madness, no correlation at all at all. |

ondo_boi:Have you apologized yet Im sure your wife is angry cos she KNOWS the excuse you gave her Parents were lies.She deserves a sort of explanation and apology,not because you are wrong but because you are a real MAN. Why or what prompted you to lie,fabricate an excuse?You don't just feel like driving,you are not very free with your PIL ? There is no rules that says you should become your PIL's driver however little things matters alot.You could have done it,it won't take anything off you. You said your PIL's have got a driver so this is more like an emergency so what are the chances of a re-occurrence?Taxi,No? |

Looka who is coming to lecture on the wrd "seem": next time, villager, use the proper terminology, versus trying to xplain incongruent lingo. Kapish --- and if ure receiving Eglish lectures from Obiagbhon, then not my concern. |
