alakori: Please nairalanders I need your advice. I am married to a man who is the first son of seven. I am older than all his siblings. One of his sisters was a frequent visitor to our home. I feel I did my best to make her feel at home. For instance I never asked her to do any house work to help me because I feel it is my home and I would do my house work anyway even if she was not around. I allowed her complete freedom in the kitchen to dish her own food and eat whatever she wanted. You didn't mention your husband's stand in this story. |

Ignore her for peace to reign her mum is in support, don't let them turn ur hubby against u. For me name callin is a small thing don't make a big deal of it eventually she will change.

Re: My Sister In Law Slapped Me by Nobody: 3:03pm On Jan 31, 2013 |
The two major problems here is the thief slapping you and stealing your merchandise. She disrespected you and your husband. Please next time try slapping back if possible beat the thief outta her. You can't force her to call you whatever thing you're expecting from her, btw that ain't guarantee she's not gonna slap you again. And pls learn to keep your stuff out of her reach even if it means shoving them gold down your vajayjay. And ma'am maybe she slapped you for not spelling the word "Igbo" correctly. Not ibo |

I dont think that is being unreasonable. I think you're just placing boundaries to prevent such insults from occurring again. |

I allowed her complete freedom in the kitchen to dish her own food and eat whatever she wanted. [size=16pt][b] Not that you are unreasonable, it's just that you are one of those women that gets married and from the onset, quickly adopt your husbands family as your own. You've done the right thing - it is right to do so because, that's how it should be. You love the man, you love his family - however, the family itself does not come round to that idea so easily That's another story. In my view, the way you were treated was not right especially, the role your mum in-law played - taken sides in this matter is an indication of the degree of moral beliefs and values in this family. She should have nail evil to evil - irrespective of who committed the evil. I will suggest, you ignore your sister in-law calling you by your first name for two reasons - after all, she is not your biological sister so, don't worry about it: a) if you hadn't married her brother and happens to meet her in the street, she'd have called you by your first name anyway, and you would have answered, abi? b) You said they were Igbos but you did not specify which part of Igboland? However, in some part of Igboland , the seniority thing in "name calling" does not exist e.g. in Abia and Imo State respectively, seniors are addressed as Daa or Da-ada, De or Dede in most families however, in Anambra state etc family members rarely acknowledges that - it doesn't exist in that part of Igboland so, you see members of a family calling their most senior brother/sister by his/her first name e.g. Basil, Emeka, Obinna, Ngozi, Gertrude etc. So, accept it and move on but where you can't accept it, I should say get your children to call her by name perhaps you will make a head way in changing certain family custom in that family. Hey lady, I understand how you feel - if I could remember vividly when my father married his second wife personally, I refused blatantly to accord her that respect - I never called her by any other name, except her first name because, I disliked her. Why? She stole my dad from my mum and us. I never, ever respected her! But, how does her children - my half brothers and sister call me? Well they call me senior though, they can call me by my first name if they wish, I still call their mother by her name. So, I suggest you bear it - it's part of the challenges women endure in marriage - adopting another persons family as your own because of love, is not easy but, what can you do? [/b][/size] 1 Like |

Ivynwa: It isn't nice that she steals the things you are selling to earn a living for your family. Reasonable response. I pity those nairaland lady soldiers who dish out judgements and what they would do in a situation they have never been. I got disappointed by the first 3 posts here. How on earth can someone whom you gave access to your kitchen, respects, welcomes to your house etc , turn around to fight you, steal from you etc... Naah, we are no kids here. You did not tell us the whole story. 1 Like |

sluvy4tune: You sound troublesomeso she should be assaulted and accept stealing because she married her brother.if there is anything,the only thing i will blame her is for not creating boundaries before marriage and thats the result.if boundaries were created all this issue of disrespect and theft will not arise.then again she went to go and fight in another persons house is totally wrong,if i were in her shoes i wil come with 3 hefty looking police men to bundle her to the police station or get a police that has asearch warrant to search her house for stolen property and if it is found,the rest will be discussed in the police station,that is my own way of putting EVERY BODY who crosses the line in their place.nobody did me a favour by marrying their brother,i was married properly so i will not accept CRAP |

Re: My Sister In Law Slapped Me by alakori: 5:32pm On Jan 31, 2013 |
okay o everyone thanks a lot for the advice. I agree with most of you who said I allowed the disrespect in the first place. I can only say I was naive and imagined that if I treat in laws like family, they would reciprocate. Nothing beats experience.. Anyway I will do as most of you suggested. I cannot enforce the name calling thing anyway... I just felt it would be a gauge as to whether my SIL was ready for peace or not. I will forget about it and just make sure I keep my self respect. Once again thanks all.... |

If your story is true which I think its, then you and your husband has issues to sort with her, also under no circumstance should she address you by your first name if you have children. By and large you strike me as a very good wife. 1 Like |

Re: My Sister In Law Slapped Me by drnoel: 6:00pm On Jan 31, 2013 |
No you are not being unreasonable. U happen to be older than the girl with 7 years. 7 years na beans. If she was ur blood relative, she would be calling u aunty would she not? So its fair that after she has badly messed up, since u've decided that you want to punish her in that way then it is ur right. But then, it would be wiser, if u speak to ur husband seriously about it. Let him be the one to implement the aunty something. Besides, if I may ask, what is the age defference between ur husband and the silly girl. |

Re: My Sister In Law Slapped Me by carlinks: 7:49pm On Jan 31, 2013 |
seems a lot of people just read the first story and don't bother with reading the updated additions by the OP..she's not asking that she be called aunty cos levels have changed but she wants to use it to set a tone and to see if the SIL would abide by it as a peace offering for slapping her @ OP..you can deprive yourself of somethings cos you want to be friendly and nice to some people but a bad person will be a bad person irrespective of how you treat them...just set boundaries and make sure everybody respect it. as for those saying you ought to have slapped her back,didn't they read where you said ur MIL was there and she incited ur SIL against you? if you had slapped your SIL back,it would have degenerated into a brawl as your MIL would have come to fight you on her daughters behalf..at the end,this would have resulted into a family meeting where the elders are invited cos they would claim you beat your MIL up and not that ur SIL slapped u first(it's their word against ur's as you have no body to corroborate your story) dont feel bad,i think you did the right thing and let your husband handle matters from here on but pls,SET BOUNDARIES 1 Like |

Like someone rightly said,Karma's a bi**h.Let the little girl be,she'll soon have a taste of what it means to be a wife. Let your husband handle the issue with his family and please don't involve yourself. As for the name thing,you had started it already so you'll have to let it be. Give that girl a wide berth. I hope it doesn't happen again,if it does,please beg God for strength like the Biblical Samson and beat her to a pulp. I leave it there |

Ujujoan:If I cannot hit my wife,then I will never hit my sister because of her. I won't even side any of them during heated argument or whatever. I will try to remain neutral as ever becoming a peace advisor and negotiator. But all in all, I will employ sanction instead of violence means to set scores with my sister. |
