A mild argument occured btw dis guy and his wife. In tryin to settle it, a scuffle ensued, and probably because his wife's mother was taking her daughters side she gave d guy a hot slap
if u were d one dat was slapped by your spouse's mother, what will u do to her.

^^^seconded!!!

I'd walk away in silence, and ask her son to caution her.
I may not be that tolerant next time . . . My hands definitely won't retaliate but my mouth will.

I'll put my hand on the spot shouting,yayiy mama what did I do to you na?then leave the room for them and go plan my revenge,I'll only forgive if she apologizes,if not I'll deal with her but in a way she'll never suspect me. Its called irusa nmadu,m'ga rusa ya aruru ala.

I would most likely do what Missy B had written except I would not want to be in the same room with such an uncivilized in law again unless she has apologized and shown remorse.
If it occurred that such behaviour was not a fluke never will I grace her presence and if I had a child neither would they.

Nollywood !!!!. Desist from watching too much of patience uzokwu

First off,fear or lack of thereof won't let my mom,MIL or anyone slap me or my husband in OUR own home.

@Topic,Be it my mom or my MIL that did the slapping,she leaves that same day,NO 2 ways about that.When the tempers are down etal,me and my husband wud put heads together to know the way forward.Apologies can then come in,forgiveness and peace but solid and well defined boundaries shall be put in place so both parties knows which side of the bed to occupy.

I don't know why a mother would be involved when a couple are having a heated arguement, i know love for her child would want to step in, but it is advisable to steer clear from issues like that, and take a walk, if you cannot stand the heat.

both the mother and the daughter will sleep outside that day

i agree with you missy b but next time my hands n mouth will retaliate.

For someone like me when I notice an argument is getting heated with my bf and people are there I smile and walk away.

I would walk away but tell the daughter via text that I shouldnt come back home to meet the mother. SIMPLE

Truth be told, ANYTHING can happen.

Nolly-gini? If someone slaps me,the first thing I'll do is put my hand on the spot and try to soothe the pain,followed by saying something,what has nolly got to do with that? Or maybe you think irusa nmadu is not possible?whatever the case,I don talk wetin I go do and patience ozo has nada to do with it.

What is irusa nmadu?

After all the dowry I paid, you still wan use made nmadu for me?

^
You again,
Shebi you want to derail this thread and have moremi call us "mentally challenged" people.



Irusa nmadu ;Is kinda being mischievous towards a person.

Btw I didn't know you paid any dowry o.

turn the other cheek.

My parents wouldn't interfere in my marriage, it would never come to that, ever

If his parent (mom) did such a thing to me. I would leave the room, not say anything. I would expect him to remove her from the home. If he does not, I will remove myself from the home until he did.

Walk away and ask my spouse to deal with the errant parent. A marriage is greater than any old woman's foolishness.

^ great answer
Absolutely nothing. I will just walk away

at the different Nollywood inspired responses.

I would not slap back but she cannot come back to my house until she apologizes. I imagined what my mother would do if I was fighting with my siblings. We never actually fight but that would be the highest level of disrespect to fist fight in front of other people. If the woman is the kind that slaps her own children she would likely do it to her own children also and since I don't know if the man was winnign the fight it is somewhat hard to judge. I personally think it takes a shameless person to fight in the presense of in laws. You even tend to act better around in laws

turn the other cheek.

lol! Like any of u could do dat. . .
