PrimadonnaO:Going out of context? Lol. I gave you five paragraphs of historical education on family values and why extended family members ought not be restricted from your home, and your response is to bolden just the one paragraph talking about how you will never propose to a man to prove your so-called 2020 modernity. Just say you have no articulate way to respond to the rest of the post, and bow out with grace. 1 Like |

Belafonte:As in eh.. then when I try getting her to talk about who should determine the balance using China as the case-study of a country that has not evolved (according to her logic), she then claimed I have gone out of context. I love women sha 1 Like 1 Share |

crackkhaus: Yes na. You have gone out of her emotional context, nothing else matters. Imagine trying to argue with someone who prefers facts over feelings. Yet, imagine not loving them. What a bloody paradox |

Do I blame any woman who doesn't want her in-laws to visit and stay over sometimes,? The answer is a big NO. I blame the men that allowed such to ever happened in their home. I think it's all part of insecurity on the women that made them always skeptical and uncomfortable whenever their laws visit. I noticed that in our house once and i put a stop to it immediately. How did I do it? When I noticed my wife was not comfortable because our last born came to stay with us before he traveled abroad.I never allowed my wife or my younger brother to suspect anything or start complaining,I simply hurried and get him his papers for him to leave. When he left,I called my wife and narrated to her all what I noticed and the same day I put a stop to any of her siblings visiting us just for her to experience how it feels. I didn't even give her a chance to explain anything. Knowing fully well that her siblings can't do without visiting her,playing with our son then as their first grandchild,she found it very difficult to adapt. I did it to the extent that even her parents can't visit us because I know that my own parents won't visit since they are in the village,so I do visit them. By the time she noticed she couldn't stand it anymore because her siblings were always eager to come over but she keeps telling them no,so they started asking me and I told them what their sister did,they nearly finished her with words. She could not do anything other than crying and asking me to forgive her. Though I ve no younger ones that visit again,she now begs my mum or Dad to come stay with us for a while. As a man,be wise and know how to handle issues. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

JONNYSPUTE: So you didn't bother to find out whether your brother actually did something to upset your wife before setting dictatorial laws in place? Least you could have done was discuss with her and then wait for her to be unreasonable before making harsh laws. Women and suffer head marriages. 7 Likes |

Belafonte: You nairaland men simply find it impossible to address women without letting your nonsensical egos get in the way. You could have written everything in your post without insults but I guess your innate opinion that women are stupid is keeping you from discussing respectfully. I changed my mind, I don't even want to get into any kind of insultive back and forth argument with you so I won't post the reply I intended to write when I quoted your post. 4 Likes |

nahzyla:. I didn't bother because I know my wife. If my brother had done something wrong,she wouldn't hesitate to tell me. It's no harsh laws or being doctorial here,what I did was to help her stop any of our relatives from visiting our home because that's what she wanted. 5 Likes |

Michellekabod2: I noticed that many of them take advantage of patriarchal rules to oppress women as much as they can. The average Nigerian man will call a housewife liability because she isn't contributing financially regardless of every other housechore she does, she must be contributing to bills and feeding and be submissive to the same man she is providing for. Selfish group of people. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Belafonte: That's the very point. I didn't make my points to start an argument. I just felt like stating my own OPINION, and for the benefit of whoever it would make sense to. Of course, it's contestable, but whether or not I decide to be dragged into a debate is my prerogative. I find it a waste of time arguing with someone whose background I don't know, someone who's being needlessly patriarchal ( I mean, what the hell has who buys the engagement ring and proposes got to do with the idea that live-in relatives is not the best for a young marriage?). That was the very point I decided to put an end to the replies. Why should I indulge him, and the rest of you? I'm not marrying him... he's not marrying my sister, so why should I break a sweat? 1 Like 1 Share |

crackkhaus:I laugh in my dialect. Many Nigerian men would never leave a woman do all these, he will feel emasculated, every move from the woman would be termed "arrogance". You can't eat your cake and have it, you want a woman to do all these and you still expect her to submit to you? You want a woman to take over the financial aspect of the relationship and you still want her be the home keeper? Stoooppeett, confusion sometimes can be a disease, you want a woman to do things men do then you should begin to do things women do. I can't be the one to propose to you, feed you, clothe you, sponsor your vacs, give you my body to toss around and you still expect me to take care of the home, you shouldn't be totally useless na. 8 Likes 1 Share |

PrimadonnaO:I was enjoying your submission until I got to this. This is wrong in every aspect and one of the major reasons for intolerance on the part of some men. The idea of live-in relatives should not be one sided just because you've known your family since the time of creation. I personally think any woman who conveniently accommodates her family in her home but has issues with her husband's relatives visiting or coming over is wicked, insensitive and selfish. A man's family should be the woman's and the woman's, the man's family. Anything short of this, particularly where one is unfair is witchcraft. During a recent counselling class of mine, the counsellor said and I quote: 'there is no mother-in-law' anywhere.' I felt it after he finished with us because it dawned on me people only see what belong to them as theirs alone and what belong to the other as the other's, yet claim to be one and married. There wouldn't be problems if you see your in-laws the way you see your family. If you cook for your family in your home and not grudgingly do the dishes, then why should that of your husband's family come with 'who is attending to everybody's needs?' 7 Likes 2 Shares |
