PuZZyNegro: I traveled from Lagos to Port Harcourt to see my future in laws family. My girl wasn't around as she's still in Lagos schooling.
I went there with a family member and got them some items like shortcake biscuits and juice.
They offered us food and we ate. After the meeting and normal questioning, we were set to go when surprisingly, this people brought out two loaves of bread and gave us. I told them that the food we ate was enough, that we don't need the bread.
We haven't even gone far when my girl started texting me on WhatsApp angrily asking me why I rejected her mother's gift. That she gave it out of love, this and that.
I told her that bread is the wrongest gift the mother could give me. I am supposed to buy them bread and not the one way round. I intentionally refused to buy bread for them because I assumed bread is an everyday food that people buy and eat, so I decided to go with the package biscuits instead and here they are offering me bread.
If it were something produced locally by them like coconut or something, I can understand but bread?
Please, did I do anything wrong rejecting the bread? I'm planning to go see my in-laws too...how many days did u stay there |

Please, did I do anything wrong rejecting the bread? omg... you are not wise and come across as corky. i pray the poor girl is able to dodge you. You don't choose gifts people give you, you appreciate and collect the gift, which you can give to someone else if you don't like it. Drivers, gatemen, etc. Also, it is not the material gift that matters, but the thought and kindness behind it. And lastly, even if you are to be corky, it is not before your future in-laws or any family member. Please that your fiancee should run ooooo, because you are annoyingly stup!d 11 Likes |

Giving a visitor 2 slice of bread is an insult and not a good thing It's 2 loaf and not 2 slice He is traveling a long distance (pH back to Lagos) so it not out of place for the prospective mother in law to give him something that might come in handy in the journey She definitely will have given her daughter same if her daughter is going on long journey too 13 Likes |

I accept I would have collected it. My friend told me that but I needed a broader opinion Personally it's weird for an in-law to give a son in-law bread. Who does that? Jezz! Personally I won't even accept anything. Na me supposed dey give them gifts not the other way round. However, in your case, you're supposed to buy them bread bro. It's the normal Nigerian custom thing. Na U supposed buy them that bread but because U thought you're in the west you decided to buy them biscuit.

fyzaila: My opinion is different, i totally did not see anything wrong in what the op did. He said, the in-laws offered them food and they ate it. Isn't that already sign of trust and acceptance from his own part as a potential son in-law? Is it now turning down the bread offered that is now a crime?
I'm a female, i wouldn't see anything wrong if my finace did what op did. I would only be hurt if he visited them without eating they food the offered. Because they must have taken their time to prepare it for his visit.
Op don't feel any bad, let them all be castigating you as you kill person. If your girlfriend like, let her use that flimsy thing as an excuse not to marry you again. It wouldn't be your loss ๐ Read the reason he rejected the gift first before commenting 1 Like |
