It's not right. Is she your maid? Is your mum so old and frail or doesn't have a daughter(s) to do them for her? If your mum needs help with the laundry(ies), please get her a washing machine.

That isn't a way to define a wife material, which in actuality, your fiancée is trying too hard to please and prove to you. Some girls and desperation are inseparable. I read your former thread, you were so incoherent, unwilling to adhere to people's advice and here you are again, fidgeting and pleading for us to give you another? For what? For you to perhaps chose a comment which best suits your interest and myopic/faulty thinking.

Simple, get your mother a maid or a washing machine, and of course I expect you also teach her how to use it. Don't stress someone else's daughter, and please, get a frigging life!

You're too egotistical. And errr, she's not your wife yet. Still a fiancée. She owes you or your immediate family no homely rights. You leave the important things undone and tend to the minute ones which are utmost inconsequential. Even if she eventually becomes your wife, she still owes no RIGHT. Grab that!

Aunty you vex for this boy oo. Pls ignore him. Let him go to marriage counselling centre to get his disturbing counsel sorted out for him.

lol...hearing this sounds strange but I guess it depends on your age grade and your family responsibilities though. I can't imagine you working 24/7, no time to even relax, eat and even do your work clothes laundry and them demanding you do theirs too...I think your mom sef is the one that will look for ways to help you...with a hot plate of food waiting every night when you come from work. Please let's be realistic

My mom isn't too strong...old age is here.
Again,she is a bit tough and gets what she wants. cheesy
Again we don't stay close to her,the distance is too far.There is a maid but the house is too big for him to handle coupled with elderly couple.
The idea of helping her is for her to use you gist so we know her tricks.When you remember that one day she will be gone .....for good,you just have to let her get her way and enjoy her while it lasts.

God bless ur marriage dear is hard to get a matured woman who understand wat marriage truely mean

Her husband and his family are very lucky to have such a good woman with a good heart. I keep telling people around that character plays a major role in one's life. No matter how beautiful a lady is, once there's a bad character in the picture, there's a problem except the man will be willing to submit and adhere to the instructions of the bad wife

thank you jare...you are indeed wise

And to add to what he has put down, all those shouting with holy rage, I have a question:
Do you still wash your mummy/daddy's clothes? Or do you pass the task to a younger one, washerman/woman, maid, dry cleaner?
Be truthful o
When was the last time your mom/dad, elderly one sent you an errand and did not grumble?
Hmmm...answer truthfully o
I washed my dad's clothes until he died n I still wash my mom's clothes without grumbling. It's a sign of responsibility n respect for an elderly one

Even though some M-I-L can be bad sometimes but it's never in all cases. Sometimes it's those feminist that usually find it difficult to cope with her due to their character. Once a woman has a bad character, they will find it very difficult to cope with their mother inlaw

You are very correct. I've heard so many ladies pray that their M-I-L die before they come in as wives; making me wonder how they'd feel if another makes such prayer point for them

yeah, i understand. The goal is for them to have clean clothes, that can be achieved in a number of ways...a maid, a laundry man/woman, washing machine etc...Like I said earlier, it isn't bad but it is not a must to saddle one's wife with it if she doesn't want to do it, she already has enough on her plate

God won't answer such evil prayers. They fail to understand that tomorrow they also will age and hopefully be a mother inlaw too. A bad woman remains one and it will only take the grace of God for such woman to change. When they start displaying such kind of bad character, when the husband's family gang up against her, they result to complaint not knowing that what you sow, you reap.

Once you are of good manners, even when the husband has a littl misunderstanding with the wife, the mother in-law will be ready to carry her the matter on her head because she already sees you as a daughter

If you want a lady that will wash your mom's clothes,you should go get that woman.Women plenty for market.Dem full yakata everywhere.Not all men fancy this washing of clothes to prove loyalty things abeg.



jakandeola:
u be smally still in 100l u Neva know about relationship not to talk of marriage wen u natured u will understand








Op ,jakandeola not all men fancy such from their fiancee or wife

I know of a friend guy, he was dating a tussshhh! babe from a rich home. He's also rich too and resides abroad .the babe resides in delta state . whenever he comes to Nija , he doesn't like her washing his clothes or cooking food in the kitchen .they eat out every time and he loves this girl die!
His mother stays abroad . will she now start looking for visa to travel abroad , so as to wash her mother in law clothes? Cos they are married now with two kids .

Or how is his mother coping far away abroad ?

Even when I asked him why they eat out. And why is it, he doesn't allow her wash his clothes , he said if she do all that ? He will look down on her and treat her badly . he has placed her on a high pedestal and doing those home chores , will make him not marry her .

They have a maid as I type . so its not every man that fancy such!


For me its no big deal o. Cos she's old enough to be my mum. But it shouldn't be a regular thing Cos I rarely have time for myself and my man and try to squeeze out time , how much more mother in law . but can't the man wash his mother clothes , e hand dey pain am?

jakandeola,
If you have not married her and you seriously need a woman who can help your mom unconditionally in that area,I'd advice you look elsewhere for a wife of your choice.Its obvious you guys are not in agreement and not compatible in this case.You want a woman who will do everything it takes to please your mother...but remember women dey pretend oo.There are those that will even wash for your mom and after two years,the REAL character will put your mom in serious shock.

Your mother shouldn't live (fully) with you to start with (there are exemptions though). When you do visit her (e.g. Christmas holiday) however, commonsense should tell you and your wife to help out with her household stuffs, after all you both stay under her roof for the moments.

not every woman grew up with a mother....and even those who did, some people grew up with washing machines, so, the concept of washing anyone's clothes is alien to them.

But in this Nigeria, they want to tell you that if you have not sweat and cried, you have done nothing.

We should all learn to respect people and their background in this nation rather than bully people into adopting a one-way thought process. This is 2019, washing machine is common place, so, no need to make it sound like it's a terrible concept. My grandfather had a washing machine before his death and he was 80.


What you do is just your own way of being brought up, and some others have a different way of being brought up. We should all learn to respect each other's backgrounds.

Namaste smiley
