Acidosis:
MIL, not FIL

It's even more annoying sef. Why would my mum drive my hubby's car for 10 months without permission? I tell her say na she we buy the car for?

First of all, my dad wont even allow her use the car in his house.

Secondly, i will never never allow such act not when we've agreed to sell for our own good. It's so so annoying, I'm even upset right now #Hiss

Thanks for the correction

Shey, dey use glue gum your mouth ni? Go and ask her for your car now

Oga, once you've agreed with your woman to sell the car, your mother in law shouldn't stop you. She's your wife's mother not your God. There's nothing to help you here, your story is very simple.
