cococandy: I worked for a man that disrespected all his employees I wasn't even an employee,I was an independent contractor in the practice This man spoke to people anyhow and there was a day we had a heated argument on the hallway and people expected me to walk out of the job like others had and I didn't. I showed up the next day and did my job and worked at that job till we moved to another town To his credit he did apologize to me afterwards but even if he didn't I would have stayed at that job It was convenient The hours were good and flexible I loved my patients It paid my bills too Sometimes we just need to suck it up and keep on trucking,nothing comes easy. Until you open up your own business,you have to work under someone and sometimes you just need to shove some things aside and keep at it. 3 Likes |

This guy is lucky. Had u come from my side, nothing for u o. That child is not urs and there is nothing anybody can do about it. If u like come with Mr president. U r free to train him/her but when he has grown to become a man,he will find his root and u r not part of it. Period. If it's a gal,once she is about to get married, straight to her mother's house. It's because u guys are given free reign that's why u treat a gal u gave belle like this afterall u can go and claim ur child later or he will find u when he grow up. U don't treat our gals like poo. Even in out of wedlock pregnancy, her people will still make her feel like princess. How can u start living with somebody u have not paid her bride price? What kind of culture and custom is that? Useless culture. And by the way, u haven't learnt ur lesson yet. I see u making d same mistake again. Work on ur attitude. It sucks. 3 Likes |

The guy is a tad too selfish! So wrapped up in his issues and self-absorbed!!! I can understand why the mother-in-law despised him! Most hard working people dislike laziness and selfishness in others! Imagine commenting on the woman and infering that her single-hood and bad experiences with men is the cause of her belligerence? Why do we always see the fault in others? The guy should start from a healthy self examination and grow up! A 25 year old isn't a baby! Some guys have been married for years at 25!

You were not blunt, you were simply honest! The guy's selfishness annoys me! And I'm a guy!!! He sees the world from only his perspective, and he acts like he is doing the girl a favour by marrying her! It's annoying!! He doenst even know he should refund the mother-in-law all she spent on him, her daughter and the baby! What concerns him is that he saw a baby that looks like him, and some esoteric emotion grabs him...so, he feels the world owes him support from there on! Now, it's I who is being blunt! I'd flog this guy if he was my younger bro! I despise irresponsible guys! At 25 I was taking care of business!! Enough saId! DBestDoc: 4 Likes 1 Share |

Lumpyy: 1. poster had NO job before the MIL offered him a job and accomodation 2. Poster was not on good terms with his own parents so they most probably wont have helped him at that period either. 3. The MIL was only trying to help him cover up his shortcomings because she had her grandchild on the way and she wanted them all to be comfortable 4. No one can judge the MIL. Her first marriage could have ended due to abuse; No one knows why . . . .and we all know about our silly socety that makes a divorced woman "useless". The same reason that when the poster wants to get married in 5 years time he will want a virgin saying "all these girls of today are spoilt"; forgetting that they are gulty of the spoiling. 5. MIL is a business woman, does not depend on anyone for money and is not a kid, so she has every right to have a love life. What she does is her business. A male divorcee/widow is allowed to have relationships . . why cant she? 6. Poster was not looking to build bridges. What he was looking for was for sympathy by portraying himself as a victim and people to give him ideas on how to get his baby but bypassig his gf and MIL. 7. Poster sounds very imature and very self centred. Not once did he feel any guilt or conscience towards the girl or even the mother who did everything to make him comfortable under the circumstances. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

The MIL tried. To rent a 3 bedroom flat in Lagos will cost her nothing less than 300K on the mainland by the time she pays agency fees etc The only thing I fault the MIL for, which some parents do is that they overdo things when their kids have issues with their spouses and they forget that theiir kids are actually n love with this fellow/woman even though they the parent cant understand why I felt bad when the girl was crying and begging but the mother slapped her and insisted that she followed her home. He keeps on saying that he was begged and forced to take the job. Very annoying statement. . .Its not as if he already had a chevron job offer or ambassador position that the poster gave up to work with his MIL. Many of us have worked in places that we dont care for, but we carry on until we find something better. We dont just quit. I am not insisting that he marrys her. Its up to him. In life everything you sow, you reap, even if its 20 years later and so he has to aplologise to his gf and MIL and do the right thing, which starts from him growing up and starting to provide for that baby. Poster is no longer a baby. Poster you owe your MIL rent money, hospital fees, naming ceremony money, baby food and nappy money and other expenses incurred. This baby is your responsibility. 1 Like |

You impregnated a girl while in school,her mother accomodated you and offer you a job.You lost the dignity and respect a man should have,there is no way things would have worked out for you,since you have rendered yourself inpotent before your girl and the mother,thats the reason they didnt tell you she had put to bed,imagine that.Many water has crossed the bridge,its now time to put yourself together to avoid making more mistakes.Go and see your gal and the child,please go with an elder,probably on weekend,so as to meet the mother at home.You are going for peace,applogise for whatever mistake you had made,thank her for all what she had done for you,your gal and your baby.if you have the means buy one or two things for your gal and the baby.whatever comes out from that visit will determine your next line of action. |

udz: I am a mother myself so I understand that need to correct in love But right now he is still on the idea that he is the victim and he was trapped and conned with pregnancy. We know that that is not true. He is also bad mouthing a woman that tried to help him. Some people were advising him to walk away. When he starts to do the right thing, then that will be acknowledged In the mean time you told him that he cant marry the lady . . .Why may I ask? What has she done wrong? 1 Like |
Re: I Need Advice, I'm Seriously Lost... by udz: 9:06am On May 04, 2015 |
tearoses: Mummy Tea, thank God U are a mother. correction in love is a virture. U made ur points and the OPs late post shows dat he is taking the blames and wanting to make thngs right. so theres no need hammering the same blaming game. As for marrying the girl, I didnt tell the OP that he "can't" marry the girl, I said he "must'nt" implying that they can still be friends but marraige is not a must. Alot has happened, the love they have might or might not be enough to cover all this incidents with marriage. Finally, Tearoses I respect ur points of veiw. it should be channeled with moderation. 1 Like |

Get closer to knowing God.it will really give u wisdom. D essence of marriage is to find a help meet that will help u fulfill God's calling upon ur life. Have u discovered what God wants u to do wwith your life? If yes, can she help u fulfill this? If no, u need to first discover ur reason of existence.ask God,he will tell u. Marriage isn't sometin u just enter cos of sentiments. It is well wit ur child. Already he mum will influence her to think she doesnt need a man like herself. Don't spend d rest of ur life in misery. Pray and ask God ro direct u. Dont enter marriage out of sentiments.u will not find it funny at all. |

Tearoses and Babyosisi have talked to you the way I would talk to my brother in this situation. All I would add is that till you can sort out your mess, put aside money every month to buy things a baby needs, if you can afford it 5k or more. Ask any mature female around you to guide your purchases and make sure they get to your baby's mother. If you give cash it will always look small. If she throws it back at your face, ignore and do it again the next month and the next and the next till they relent. It's allright to say I want to be a part of my child's life but the truth is actions speak louder than words. Show them not tell them. 2 Likes |

Steeze do well to balance yourself before connecting with your son. In all these, you'v not accepted blames except for the tiny bit you still passed to youthful exorberance. Forget about yesterday, see how you can use today to get a better tomorrow. You'v been wronged too, but whilst you moved on since, your girl couldnt even if she wanted to. The major pains still lies at her court but you can help. Imagine all she has passed through, be sorry for not "maning up" to your responsibilities and be willing to make amends. If you decieve yourself and go there just because of your son only, you will not know when they will see through and say some words that will hurt so that you will walk again without looking back and repeating history. Stop listening to those small boys you call friends, you are now a father before they will tell you to damn whatever challenge you may face again as you try to reconnect. I know you'v had a girl or two since then but even if you get money today, it can't guarantee you a good girl like her (you said she is) not forgeting not getting your son. You made her pay for her wrongs and added her mother's, still you have not forgiven her that you might be forgiven. The truth is, especially with their money, 98% of you getting your son lies with the mother. If you fool yourself to say at 18, he will find you, you may never have a relationship with him, another man can fill your absence perfectly or you may never know how he will be trainned to or not remember you exist. If you even start visiting today, look yourself, look 18yrs then you will know whether you can sustain it. Erase the thought of just buying things periodically, you know better than me that they dont need your money. Get in touch with the mother of your son, apologise, if she is interested in you which i believe will be and i know if you agree not to be selfish, she is still good for you. Table your fears, then let her ensure her mother is out of your way, when you are financially ok, you can do the right thing. Whatever happens, your chance of connecting with your son is with his mum not Mil hoping your girl has learnt lesson and will stop being a mum's girl. 1 Like |

UPDATE: I apologized to the mom and she's accepted. I've apologized to everyone. I hope we all can get past this. While it's very easy to want to blame the guy, I was competent at the job, respectful and wasn't proud. What happened was a product of see finish. It's very easy to want to believe that I'm writing all this to make myself seem innocent and blameless, but all the wrongs I did can be seen in my posts all over this thread. Thanks once again. 2 Likes |
