Open up and tell them. That you dont want such unnecessary visit. If you cant then send her home for her family to see her.

You shouldn't have gotten married in the first place. You are a childish human being. Because of food? Of all problems in marriages, yours is that your in-laws eat your food.

Bigger123:
I will advice you to change environment i.e move your family to another state.

Some of you just comment without sense, if he had that kind of money to relocate and abandon his job, do you think he will be here complaining? You think it is easy to relocate and get a new job in this Nigeria? So many kids and illiterates on nairaland.

Bola146:
I understand your worries. Sir, I know that you knew or saw this coming( that is why it's good to stop what you can't continue) they are her relations, they are her cross, she can't ignore them away. It's now left for you to sit your wife down maybe to minimize their coming or solutions to it. You can still be helping with the little you have, it's better than to ignore them totally.

This is the problem with us Africans. They automatically became her cross because she is the first child? Una dey mad for head abi na wetin. This is how you people continue to encourage generational poverty. When her parents were fucking and giving birth to 8 other children following her, was she consulted? Definitely not but everyone would rush to say to her “they are your responsibility na”. Rubbish mentality!

Bro based on your write up, your wife has 6 younger sisters. Don't forget they must marry tomorrow. And their husband might be a blessing to your family by giving you and your wife a high paying job. They have been feeding b4 u enter the family and they will continue to feed.
It's the joy and love they have for your new family that make them to come to your house � and eat. Don't forget that hungry man Don't visit where he/she is not welcome despite how he/she is been beaten by hunger. Always support with the little u can bc they will support your family tomorrow.
From ur write-up, ur wife is a good woman. Sit her down with love, Remind her that you people has a future. Let her device how u people will manage the situation. You people can get a cupboard to limit how they consume some food stuffs.
Don't speak evil against a pensioner bc u r working. Remember rest is sweet after labour.
Always be nice to the family within ur financial capacity but don't forget to save for your car and land. Remember when the second child come by the Grace of God. You need one of them to assist in house chores. Remember you and your family needs a happy life. Pray for high paying job so you shall be a source of joy and blessing to them.

How is that your problem? Your wife is working, let her spend her money as she wishes.

Once the allowance you give her for the month is exhausted, don't give her additional money again.

Think of what to do that will make more money, have joint investments with your wife, let your wife have personal Investments , you should also have your personal Investments.

Don’t take the op serious .... check out one of the topic he deleted...

Stop stocking your house with foodstuffs. Eat out and ask your wife to do the same. When the hungry wolves come next, they will be disappointed. Do this oftentimes and they would gradually get the message and stop coming to your house incessantly.

You marry a lady who is a first born of nine children from a poor family.i don't like deceiving myself,you know exactly the situation you are going to face. Unless, I repeat unless your wife is a very knowledgeable and reasonable person I see problem coming up in your home if you complain about this. Just got married 2 years and you are already carrying loads on your head, load that your own family did not put on you.

okoroemeka:
poverty is too bad,it will make you behave abnormal and think weird things,what better joy will a man have if his in-laws come to his place and he will feed them very well and even given them transport money when going,when my in-laws use to come to my house I usually prepare nsala soup myself for them with catfish and oldlayers,poverty it shall not be well with you.

... I swear no cap in this

Asquare84:
Op your case is even better that your wife is bringing something to the table, as I type this I am the soul provider for the family, I mean even common salt I buy, wife doesn't do anything thing as I am typing this her younger brother who is managing with a salary of 30k impregnate a lady and she was operated through CS, her mom on hearing this came to my house with two of her children age 14 and 9. Not minding the ungrateful wife that I will give money to stock foodstuffs she will be complaining money is not enough yet she will not provide anything, she nagg alot and no respect for me. It very wrong to Marry from a poor family background.

Man up as you have! You will get stronger through the challenges but, that wife needs to help add value too

djon78:



Exactly

It's poverty that will make someone cry about his in laws coming to finish his food


@Op

Learn not to only live for just you, your wife and kids

Expand your mindset
That thinking only breeds poverty

People that cry like you barely make it above average in life

Allow your in laws to come and eat from you
Even if they finish what you bought

When you don't cry over there eating
And you expand your mindset
the subconscious infinite intelligence
Will create way for you to expand your income and earnings

I have seen this practically


Had two relatives then
One was always crying about people eating his family food

Another relative opened his house and allowed people to eat whatever they like
He made sure every one was satisfied


End result

The relative that was always crying and complaining about eating his food retained very average
Never really making it big

But the other one that opened his home to visitors went on to become extremely rich
Taking care of many families up till today


Infact my observation from that experience guides me in my own Home even today

I ensure any visitor to my house feast like a King
Food people will eat ain't any problem what's over

People that cry like you always remain average in life
Change your mindset
Your wife even has a liberal mind

What your in laws eat can never make you poor
Rather it will bring blessings and open doors to you

In as much as OP focused majorly on the financial aspect I tell you their is also a privacy and personal space aspect to it. You read where he said that they ransack his room in the name of '' it's our sister's house''. He is not saying that they shouldn't visit but when it becomes a routine or a place to feed for them, it becomes a problem.

You that is claiming rich here may not even be richer than op. What he feels is very natural for a couple should have their reasonable space from family interference. You are only here blabbing because your own inlaws comes once in a while and may not be up to that number so chill

I just went through the other topic. Please, do you think this op is normal or just trolling?

generalwo:
... . I used to earn N13k back in the days as a school teacher and my gf was with me for a year in my 2 bedroom and one living room apartment.... Her 4 younger siblings were with me for a whole year..... The only thing I didn't pay for them was school fees.. Feeding, clothing and medicine all me...... Reason we broke up was when I found out that 2 of the kids inside were her biological kids and their father was a dreaded cultist and he called me several times to release his kids or he will report me to the police that I kidnapped his kids...... I'm not saying what they are doing is appropriate but all I'm saying is that he should place himself in the woman's shoes..... If he sees or hear her telling such a story and using such remarks about his family, will he feel great? There are better ways to resolve the issue...... People who HVe stayed married for long have seen much worse and they stormed through it..... I don't subscribe to the idea of calling off the marriage because of his food his inlaws are eating.... It doesn't sound right to me..... U don't expect the woman to turn down her family when she's more or less like a bread winner to them...... Whether we like it or yes, she's still loyal to her family to a great extent....

Well said.

Moral of the story: As a man, don't marry from a poor family. But even if you do, try not marrying the First daughter.

You will always live to regret it.

Igbo proverb; if your inlaw decides to visit every other day, roast rotten yams for him.

you have every right to stop them From coming.. because what you marry is there sister and not the whole family

God will continue to provide for you since you have decided to feed them. It is a saying that anyone that feeds God will provide for him to feed them thereby increasing your income in manifolds. Also kindly consider talking to their father and mother to let their children reduce the visit. You can also dedicate some amount of money monthly for them for their food upkeep. This will prevent them from coming regularly to your place.

bubbaGambino:
You shouldn't have gotten married in the first place. You are a childish human being. Because of food? Of all problems in marriages, yours is that your in-laws eat your food.

How many people are you feeding right now? How many people are depending on you? These days that the prices of food have increased by x2, x3, x4.
Do you even see his wife salary? We don't even know his own income, may be it is nothing to write home about too.

Gaddafi1:


This seems to describe my family while growing up, anyway God provided us with a kind in-law who too care of all us. Later he was blessed with so much wealth, Op do your best and trust God for the future. I am the 9th child (pharmacist) in my family.

God will always bless the giving hands. Hope you emulate you in-laws giving lifestyle to make the world a better place and make you a point of reference in another man's future testimony
