Yes mothers are very protective of their sons;just like mother hen. But I'm lucky to have a very good and understanding mother-in-law. When I had a delay getting pregnant,five years after I had a set of twin boys,she was even more supportive than my own mother despite that I'm not even a yoruba by origin. It got to a point my husband became jealous of my closeness with his mom. I'm one of the few lucky ones I guess.
Wow!. She has a good heart.

Think well, you don't know any of your uncle's wife that doesn't know how to cook?
This issue is way past being modern or not knowing how to cook.
I said THINK IT IS ACCEPTABLE, didnt say there aren't women dat dont knw hw to cook in previous generations. D problem is those ones these days dat say it like it shouldn't mean much.

Is this a joke? She is not married to you, it's not your responsibility to take care of her, don't interfere in their marriage except you are invited to

You need to find yourself a husband and kids also get a job dear all these things will occupy your time. Leave your brother and his wife to live their lives, make their mistakes, learn from them and grow. I hope your sister-in-law knows the type of family she got married into sometimes people need to consider things like these abnormalities before thinking of love, smh

The interesting aspect of it is that a daughter in law will one day become a mother in law.However,some daughters in law are not cool headed.

those mother in-laws also complained when they were daugher in-laws

I noticed 80% of our Nigerian mother in-laws threat their daughter in-laws badly unlike their foreign counterparts, and this trend is so common,once a man says he wants to take you to see his parents instead of excitement a certain fear creeps in.
personally i'm not scared of meeting the man's father because i assume father's trust their sons to have made the right choices, but for the mothers is not usually the same, was able to ask someone if she felt same and she confessed feeling worse. grin

That's because females are usually wired to see each other as enemies. What do you think would happen when two women want total control of the man's life. Ever seen father in laws having issues with the husband at all. Because we stay our lane.

I have a friend whose mother didnt attend his wedding because she did not approve of the girl he is getting married to

Among these people they have segregation based on religious beliefs, your family's financial background, social beliefs, what part of the country you are from, what level of education.


Are they from Asia?

the problem sometimes is always from the Son/Husband who is a mummy's boy. i don't what will ever cause fight between mother in-law and daughter in-law. if the man is a real man not the one that was characterized as a man becos he wear trouser or posses male genital organs, nothing go cause fight between his mum and his wife.

some women just have issues with each others maybe because of low self esteem or mindset or jealous, some of this daughter in-laws that complain about their mother in-law will do worst than their mother in-laws when they become mother in-laws too.

2 examples,
My cousin and my friend.

My cousin: Nice family, generous family, it was only when the boy declared his love for her we found out his mom was a fierce racist! They could be boyfriend and girlfriend as long as he didnt bring the black girl home to the family. I guess in a way it doesnt count cos the y finally didnt get married cos of her. Later heard the boy brought home and irish chic and the mom brought the house down in a rage. The guy is still single.

My friend. Married the boy. Caucasian mother in law moved in for two weeks. She saw hell. The woman was unbearable and unappeasable, kept on making condescendin remarks about how no girl was good enough for her Ronald... Only ate when thr guy was around... Made a statement once that suggested she was trying to poison her by putting something in her coffee...complained about the kitchen, complained about everything... Then asked to stay another two weeks to take good care of her son. My friend was a nervous wreck before the woman left. And this was in the UK o, not naija.

This comment got my attention, most especially the second example.

Anywhere I'm in this mess. After fighting this battle since February this year, I decided to give up yesterday. I feel so bad right now.

I'm looking at this thread and laughing.. Hahaha. My dear, when I said she's my wife... You and that your friend up there just pounced... In our culture, she's our wife doesn't mean all the men in the family will be putting their kini in her own kini.... My wife gave birth some weeks ago. Guess who is doing 24/7nanny? Me and mummy. Why? She doesn't have anyone close by and she's not strong enough. Now imagine if everyone was fighting what would happen to her? She even had to beg her husband to come and drop her with us. The long and short is that, it is very very important to maintain a good relationship with your in-laws. While getting married, come in with a good mindset.
So are you going to tell me now that the baby is not my baby? grin

Ehen. And no, it is not a family house. We all live in same city.
