I'm Back With Another Wahala.... Please I Need Your Input... by bryanarchie: 8:51pm On Jan 15, 2020 |
my father-in-law passed away early this year and the burial ceremony has been programme d for next weekend. my history with my in laws has not been smooth sailing, in fact the last episode was really bad. during this whole burial preparation we've all been cordial but the big issue is my accommodation during the burial period. I'm okay going to stay in the family house but my husband is currently not too comfortable with it. he initially said I should stay with my aunty who lives in the same city but my aunts house is quite far with lots of traffic... I'm suggesting I manage the family house like that or get s hotel room close by but my issue is that I don't want it to portray I'm proud or avoiding them. I also know my husband won't stand by me, if I'm being crucified for getting s hotel room... |

bryanarchie: Never pot mother against son, or make it look so... Rather call the mom first, tell her you're coming. Then tell the son you spoke with mom o, that you look forward to seeing her at the family house... Wives are the pivot in the family. You are meant to create balance. 7 Likes |

Because your husband who just came from there is still not comfortable with you staying with them for two days, then he probably knows much before things end up getting messy. I would say book an hotel then go from there but tell them you came from your aunty's. If they didn't receive you well stay till evening and tell them you didn't tell your aunty you would be staying back then go to the hotel and go back the following day. But if they recieve you well join them in the preparation till next day and forfeit your hotel money meaning you have to pay for a day first. Also carry only a bag containing what you may need if you have to sleep over. 5 Likes |

During my paternal grandmother's burial, I opted for a hotel instead of staying at my father's house or any of his brothers' houses in our hometown.. It was just to avoid the usual chaos of a funeral atmosphere, I like my quiet. Of course, this didn't go down too well with some busybodies and although none of my uncles directly talked about it with me, I could sense their displeasure. My father didn't mind though, he knows his son very well. I would have suggested you do the same thing, but there's a huge difference in our situations. - you are a wife attending the burial of your husband's father. Under no circumstance should you stay separately from him during the period of this burial, UNLESS there is an issue of available space...and in which case, there still should not be separation between you two. Your husband should stay in the same place he expects you to stay. 5 Likes |

bryanarchie: My dear sis, let your husband be the one to tell them you guys will stay in a hotel. Feel free to stay at the hotel but go as early as is acceptable to assist the family in the preparation. Be respectful and cordial with the in laws. Las Las who want talk go talk whether you sleep in the family house or not. Do your best and due diligence and leave with a clean heart. |

Why will u book a hotel? It's just 2 days. Even if its crowded. It should be crowded obviously. Anywhere u see space, sleep there. I tell you, u will earn the respect of your husband more and yes, even if the family isn't in good terms with, u have extended an olive branch unknowingly. U are there for your husband and because of him and the dead man, you must maintain your cool and do what is expected of you. It might be a new beginning for new things. Be positive. |

please stay with them, it's just a matter of days and the ceremony will be over.if they hear that you stayed in a hotel they will likely misinterpret the whole thing which might create more problems for you in future |

Bryanarchie, I have been following your posts right from December 2019. If you stay in the family house, disappear immediately the burial is over cos you may be the subject of discussion when the event is over. Meanwhile, if you decide to stay in the family house, ensure you mind what you say on controversial discussions during the burial cos one of your sister/brother in-laws may tear you apart if any quarrel starts. |
