I go make her know say She dey wrong... I go tell her say, I am in the position to treat her the same way, but that's not what my Mum taught me. I will so make her be hunted by her spirit... If her action was instigated by her mum, she would communicate my good disposition also to her mum and blame her mum also. I would allow her... But I wouldn't be so free with her mum. I would always keep away, return and go into my bedroom. |

ozalogbo Though I am 100% in support of forgiveness, the double standard is revolting. Joseph did despite the evil his brothers did him, did not immediately forgive his brothers. It was only when he tested them and realized that they had changed, he completely forgave them. Please note that your wife may be unrepentant to the end. Some people are shameless hypocrites down to the end. I have a female cousin who told me her husband's people would be unwelcome in her house but her kin are 100% welcome. Horrid double standards! Just do anything that would bring peace and long life to your marriage. Its' success is what matters. 3 Likes |

Having gone through ur write-up @Op, I just have to be point blank in telling u this; u are just accepting defeat if u finally yield to ur wife's request. How could you deny ur mum such care because of ur wife and now wants to do otherwise because her mum is involved? Anybody that would not make my mum eat the fruit of her labour should leave my side, wife or no wife. Tell her to take her to one of her siblings or bring someone to assist her, while u foot the medical bill ...... Simple. 1 Like |

Mr Poster you are a bloody fool for asking this question. All of you who don't know the right thing to do, you always rely on people's advice that's why you make mistakes. Let me tell you, the only enemy you have in this life is your wife. She will finish you up any time soon and guess what? She knows you're not a real man. Foolish man! Your mother was sick, was lonely and you were the only person around to take care of her. Then you asked people if you should take care of your mother and they asked you to send her away and you did. Fool! Because you want to please one idiot you call wife. Your children will do the same to you. Old fool that doesn't know his right from.his left. 4 Likes |

Neweramify:So the man’s mother is whom h should be feared for the unknown but her mother isn’t to be feared for the unknown ? Wonderful Op! Personally she has no right to even suggest it. Let the other siblings take their mother in, better still employ someone to also cater for her at her home . |

[quote author=cococandy post=122155684]When sick and old in-laws come to love with the family, the expectation is that the wife will be the one to provide care for the sick and old family member. So your wife should have the final say on who’s coming for extended say in my opinion. Because let’s face it, your wife would have been the one to give your mom bed baths, bathroom care etc. now that her mom is coming, she’s still the one who will be expected to do that. Not you. Quote] The op seems well to do and smart enough to know that he would've needed to employ a maid for the mum so the reasons you've laid out don't really hold up to scrutiny...honestly, I personally would've damned the wife and brought my mother to live with me if i were in his shoes. I can't even imagine a woman i paid her bride price, brought into my house and pay the bills for will bull headedly tell me that i cannot bring my ill mother to live with me, i was irritated as i was reading the OP. |

What do you guys think. She reminded me then that marriage was between a man and his wife only. Shouldn't this also apply to my wife now?[color=#990000][/color] don't agree she should also hire someone to stay with the mother and pay her too. Oga no gree at all. I don't know why are ladies like this. If I were you, if she insists, I will send her packing nonesense. |

ThatCEO:I’d like to think so too but truth is that he would have probably been here making a thread about how his wife refused to care for his sick mom. And of course all the males on NL will gather to call her an evil wife. Did you see that thread sometime ago where a dude made a thread about how his wife made salty food for his sick mom and they told him she killed the mom by salt poisoning? The expectation put on the wives are usually too much so I know what I’m saying. yes I do think loneliness affected her unfortunately. Mind you I’m not saying she did right by refusing to accept the mom in law. I was just pointing out the reason why she probably did it. A big valid reason that often gets overlooked. Just as it’s being overlooked in my comments now. When you guys agree with me that you need to be more hands on in caring for you aging parents instead of putting it on your wives, maybe you would get closer to a solution. I’m glad you have refused to participate in those so called “manipulations”. That means you are actively preparing to be the best son to your parents when they get older. What have you done to prepare yourself and to make sure you’re learning the basics of how to be a caring son? Have you learned how to change a bed with a sick person is laying in it? Have you learned how to give bed baths? Have you learned how to provide bathroom relief to incontinent adults while maintaining their dignity? Many illnesses come with dietary restrictions. Have you or are you learning how to make low fat, low sodium, low sugar meals to help recuperation? What exactly are you doing to prepare yourself? These are things that are magically expected of women while the man gripes about providing even though he’s married to someone who helps him provide as well. Most of you expect too much but don’t realize it. And most times you’ve gotten what you expected that’s why you take it for granted. Not realizing how much work goes into it. 4 Likes 1 Share |
