24 Things Mothers Should Tell Their Unmarried Daughters by Akshow: 5:20pm On Aug 23, 2015
A friend sent this to me so I decided to share it with you all.


°My daughter, don’t cause a separation between
your man and his siblings; it could be dangerous
for you when they finally speak with one voice.

• My daughter, I know that some of you girls don’t
wish to marry a man whose mother is still alive,
don’t ever think like that, if you do, well, I think
your son’s wife-to-be should start wishing you’re
dead now.

• My daughter, listen to me, when I married your
father, he was as tiny as his salary but I chose to
grow with him and today, those cars out there are
some of the results of what we started so little,
together, and we’re proud looking at them.

• My daughter, there is this thing i see happening
in your time, some of you girls now get pregnant
before the wedding day, well, it never happened in our time because no matter what, we never opened
our laps before the wedding.

• My daughter, well, yes, I once locked up the
cloth of your father because I got to my limit of
patience and that was the only thing I could do,
but one thing I haven’t said was that we settled the
issue that same day and that was the last time I
tried that.

• My daughter, look up there. That’s the wedding
picture of your father and I, look at him smiling, I
know you’ve seen it many times but what you did
not know is that your father was angry before
taking this picture, I hope you find a man whose
anger doesn’t last till the next day.

• My daughter, when your Father was riding a
bicycle, I was always happy to hop on it and ride
with him, not because I didn’t see those men in
their little cars but because my eyes also saw
those men trekking to their farms.

• My daughter, if you and your husband eat a little
food with love, you both would be satisfied. Times
are not always the same; support him in every
phase he’s passing through.

• My daughter, don’t ever close your laps to your
husband in bed , the day he paid your dowry was
the day you lost your will to do so, don’t be stiff
and try to satisfy him even if you were angry with
him.

• My daughter, a man would respect you and be
more proud of you if you’re learned and not totally
dependent on him. Strive to make your own money
and while you’re at it, be humble.

• My daughter, under the cocoa tree that I did
meet with your Father was open and good enough
for our discussions, yes; it was open and good
enough if you understand what I mean.

• My daughter, in our time, we had sexy legs and
firm bosoms to show our men , in fact, we had the
finest ones, yet, when we dress, we cover those
parts of our body, not because we were not
civilized as you people would call it, but because
we know that the eyes of men are hungry, many of
them would only come, touch and go their way.

• My daughter, there is this thing you girls now
practice, they say it’s feminism. Well, you can
prove to be equal to a man in the society but
please, not in your marriage because at my old
age, I don’t want to start counting your husbands.

• My daughter, marriage is not a Rehabilitation
Centre, if he’s not good enough for you before
marriage, nothing he does would be good
enough after marriage.

• My daughter, you can see I still wear my night
gown , yes, because to my husband; your father, I
still want to look sexy. So, take good care of your
body, look good for your man and don’t look like a
grandma after giving birth.

• My daughter, I’m your mother and still, I’m not
interested in you coming to me always if anything
goes wrong with your husband. Though nowadays
I see some mothers controlling the homes of their
sons and daughters, I would only say; shame on them!

• My daughter, for you to have a peaceful home
and well-trained children, have one voice with your
husband, join him to say NO when he’s saying NO
before the kids but later when you both are alone,
you can plead with him for a YES, if not, the
children will see a loophole to misbehave, either to you or their father.

• My daughter, if you chose to live together with a
man that you’re yet to be married to , and you are
complaining that he hasn’t proposed to you, oh, he already did. Whatever he said that made you
start living with him was his proposal.

• My daughter, your generation does not see any
pride in been a virgin before marriage, it’s a
shame! Your father met me a virgin and he
brought more yams to my parents and up till
today, he’s still proud of me when we discuss in
that direction.

• My daughter, I know that no man out there is
complete, but when you are looking for your tall, slim, fair and handsome, if he’s a woman-beater,
please, go for the short, fat, dark and ugly that will
give you the respect you deserve as a woman.

• My daughter, know, learn and respect the culture
and lifestyle of whoever you chose to marry . In
some part of Africa, you knee down to greet your
man’s parents while in some part outside Africa;
you can even call them by their first name and ask
for a handshake. Whatever they believe in, if you’ve
chosen him, believe it with him also.

• My daughter, when I say over 52 years of
marriage , it wasn’t that I did not see any reason to
leave your father, I saw a lot of them but I bear his
faults, i forgave him to stay married.

• My daughter, these are part of the wisdom i have
gathered over the years. and If I had taken my time
to tell you all these, and your marriage doesn’t last
like that of your father and I, then I had wished i
never gave birth to you.
