loveslife: She is 29 for God's sake! Let her move in for four weeks and figure out if she can handle it. If it makes her happy, you should be happy too; for her and the kids who will have a new, hopefully warm-hearted, gentle and understanding, stepmother. 4 Likes |

For a young girl who has never been married and has no child,why would your sister want all that baggage? The man is probably almost twice her age so what was the attraction? To put it simply.it's just not worth it. 1 Like |

thorpido:Not really. It's called 'Oedipus Complex' and it has nothing to do with dating married men. It's just a preference for much older men because they feel men in their age group are too immature. Loveslife, I used to be like that when I was younger. I felt much older men are a repository of knowledge and experience. I had this yearning to see and understand the world through older eyes, and older men provided that telescope. But as I grew older it just sort of left my system...maybe because my eyes got older too, I could now form certain opinions and reflect more deeply on my own, so I didn't have that urgent need anymore. I have a feeling your sis is an old soul, but be that as it may, 5 children is a lot to handle, and come on, let's face it, the man isn't looking for love again. He's looking for a helper and companion. If she goes ahead, she should not expect passion or romance. He will be more like a sturdy, weather beaten rock who has seen it all. She may feel stifled, and when the teenagers start acting up with the headiness and arrogance that come with blossoming youth, she may not be able to handle them. 3 months is also quite a short time to be talking about marriage. I advise she waits till 6 months, PRAYING and WATCHING. 2 Likes |

Re: Pls Advice A Her! by Richy4(m): 9:07pm On Sep 19, 2016 |
I might be wrong though but 3months is too early for her to know about him and to even hint about marriage..... If your sister is wiling to go to that man's house after seeing 5kids, then sit her down and ask the positive things she has seen in this very man... A lot of girls will not even agree if the man got a child not to talk of 5. After listerning to her, then let her know the challenges she will be facing.. << unruly kids that might hate her thinking she was there to replace their mum << She might not have kids of her own except if she is very stubborn <<< She will practically be the wife, mother, nanny and babysitter... If she can do all this, wish her the best of luck.. it's not gonna be easy though... 2 Likes |

Re: Pls Advice A Her! by eyinjuege: 9:34pm On Sep 19, 2016 |
I don't think its a good idea. What that man needs is an older working woman with a good job and her own children. If it was one child or Max two kids that would have still being manageable, but 5 . Even biological mothers are going crazy trying to raise 2-3 'shidren', talk less of a step mum who'll always be seen as a witch. Even the man will be looking for signs of witchcraft in her towards his kids. Abi is that not the general belief? Being a HAPPY stepmum is not for the faint hearted. Have you equally thought of the financial aspect? A man with 5kids already won't have so much cash to spare for a new family like that o. School fees alone is crazy, and the kids are growing, meaning expenses will be increasing. Unless the man is stinkingly rich, your sister will have to be a main if not only provider for her children. She will always feel cheated that her husband isn't trying enough for her own children, but the truth is the man's responsibilities have doubled. She should just not try it. That man too shouldn't be thinking of starting a new family with a young lady without kids. What he needs is a woman who's also had her own children, and is equally financially stable to care for herself and her own kids. There won't be any resentment if they both combine resources to take care of the children and the home. 3 Likes |

Re: Pls Advice A Her! by Nobody: 8:59am On Sep 20, 2016 |
5 kids is a lot of kids to acquire at the same time. They are also in pain emotionally so that's an added challenge She also has no kids of her own so she has no experience of the different emotions and phases that these children are going through Ideally the man should go for someone more mature, experienced and older. I don't even think its fair on the kids as she may not fully understand their emotional needs. I have a teen and no 2 days are the same One minute she loves jollof rice, the next minute she hates it. Is your friend being fair to herself as it will involve a lot of sacrifice on her part Is she ready for that? Does she have the strength for it? Its a very big challenge and a lot of sacrifice involved. Its also not just about her Will the kids be happy under her watch? |
