Mamas,abeg make una help my mata.

i have a blue up and down lace. sewn up neck peplon blouse and six pieces skirt. i want to match it with red.
now i dont know which that will match most.

1.red scarf,purse and shoe.
2.blue scarf,red purse and shoe.d

thanks
Please match with red scarf, purse and shoe. The reason is that people might not see the shoes as your skirt may cover them. But the red scarf and purse adds enough color to the attire.

Mama's Abeg make una no vex what's ORS?
I think my ds is teething o
He's chewing on everything including my fingers and his hands and drolling

So yesterday he had one runny poo. And he's had another runny poo this morning which I'll monitor. But I want to be prepared o in case na purge o
And I've read where one or two mama's mentioned something about ORS so Abeg wetin be ORS and how is it made?
I think 3months it's a bit early to teeth. ORS is a solution that of salt, water and sugar given to purging babies to reintroduce electrolytes that have been lost via loose and frequent stooling. The solution is is given immediately after each stool while you observe your diet and hygiene. If purging continues after 24 hours pls go to a hospital. My son has erupted 2 teeth at 6 months and he didn't purge even though we didn't take the rota vaccine.

Am I overreacting?
Am I being petty?
Am I just a bad wife?

I hate it when my husband takes my money without my permission. Especially when it's my last card.

Maybe that's because it's something I don't do. I don't take people's (my husband included) things without asking.

God it pisses me off.
It makes me mad that I have to hide my own money in my own house from my own husband.

It is worthy of note that we earn the same salary. I respect money and save for rainy days because I hate borrowing.
My husband is the opposite. He himself doesn't know what the hell he does with his money. But I know for sure he doesn't spend it on me or his child.

I pick up mine and my child's tab which I don't mind.
I even pay half of my house rent, which I guess is ok? Or I'm just a fool?

Before I got married I thought married women who spent their money on their home were idiots.

Who's the fool now?
My darling come take a big hug
No you are not being petty, or overreacting.
In fact a lot of families are contending with a financially irresponsible spouse. I can imagine how painful it is having someone draw u back like that. I would have suggested what alphahandmaidien said because that's almost how my dh and I run our finances but since you said it wouldn't work then go guerilla on him like stephmiracle said. Please keep all your money in d bank. Use POS as often as possible to eliminate cash. Talk to him about how you feel. Is he working on any project or carrying any family burden (his extended family). Try as much as you can to find out where his money goes to.

FamilyRe: Is It Right To Say 'Thank Ma' To Your Mother-In-Law After Eating? by BellaElla(f): 9:48pm On Mar 24, 2017
alfredo4u:
House, just needed candid advise, my mother Inlaw is in my place for omugo/visit.

Just this evening my wife served me my dinner and after finish eating I left the parlour to the bed room, my wife came in and said why didn't I even say thank ma to her mother.

Pls kindly advise becos I nearly took offence about it.
Yes it's proper.
When we were growing up, we were taught that you should thank the elderly ones in the room after eating. I still do that to anyone that is older than me when I eat. I am igbo by the way.

Please who can recommend a good foundation that's less than 10k. One that wouldn't make you look like you rubbed pancake once you go under the sun grin. I really loved my current brand while it lasted but the way my bank is set up, I can't keep up with the price. It was easier to buy these stuff when I was unemployed and spending father's then hubby's money, now that I've to actually use my own money, so many things look like such a waste
I was using Mary Kay time wise matte finish which was wonderful but it's now too expensive so I switched to classic matte foundation. It has served me very well. I hardly use it with primer and it serves. I bought like four at once at 2000 each but I do not know how much it's sold for the for now. I coat it with my 400 jose face loose powder and I am good to go.

Hello Mamas... can i start Gerber single grain (Rice or Oats) 4 my daughter?
She is 4months.
And is not really interested in milk again.
She just takes a little wen very hungry n prefers to sleep
I started it for my son at 4 months. The oats for supported sitters. He eats it well but we mess the whole place up while eating. My son stopped taking formula when I am around so i introduced the Gerber cereal. Na constipation we dey face now. He would be 5 months in a weeks time.

Mine is 7months and we haven't even tried,am not just emotionally, nor physically ready
Mama, pls 7 months is a lot of time. Try to start it again before your hubby starts seeing you as his roomate cheesy. Or loses interest in the thing entirely. Consider his feelings too na. After 7 months you are totally healed.
Florena and Jazzyjazz no fear about the thing getting wider especially if you had an episiotomy.
I resumed kpekus at 8 weeks post Partum and the place was so tight. To get in was a big wahala. Your hubby won't complain trust me. You can start with the woman on top position so u can control the depth and thrust. Post Partum kpekus was very emotional for me especially the first time as it renewed our bonding experience and was totally worth every pain I felt.

Good morning mamas o
Abeg I don come again

My son no de sleep o!
Before he used to sleep around 9pm or 10 but would wake at midnight and then sleep around 2am and be up every hour to feed till day break

But for the past 2 days, he no de sleep o!
He will sleep maybe by 8pm, wake by 9pm or 10pm, then him eye go de shine like diamond till 6am o!

This one na another phase too?
I no understand o!

Secondly,
Abeg when does kpekusing resume after child birth? My son is 5weeks old already and dh has been asking when it's safe for us to resume. I told him 8wks though. 

Lastly,
I had a small tear and my episiotomy has healed except for one tiny spot at the mouth of the jajaina - it itches when I wash (I wash with water only and I don't scratch it). I felt it with my fingers once and I think I still felt a thread (they used dissolvable thread) so I assumed that part is the muscle and is yet to be healed fully (I did sitz bath after delivery)

Biko epp me

Your son is still adjusting to life outside the womb and as such he would keep changing sleeping patterns till finds his spec
my son used to wake like 3 times at night when he was about that age but now he sleeps most of the night;.
if you want him to sleep deeply, give him a heavy dose of formula just before he sleeps.

You can start kpekusing after your six weeks appointment with your gynea. Also show him/her the episiotomy site so they can determine whether its fully healed. but be prepared for extreme pain when you kpekus for the first time post partum. also be prepared for loss of sensation and dryness so you might have to lube up pretty well.

So disgusting.

He's even saying he had marathon unprotected sex.

His children will. Hate him forever.. He thinks it's all about lust and fresh graduate.. He will know the other side of life.

Him and his fresh graduate... Smhhhh...


Oga, u went Into this sexuall parade with your eyes open and with the intent of impregnating your fresh graduate.. So why come online to. Tell us.. We are not your wife. No use pretending it was a mistake. Because u know its purely what u wanted from. Day one..

U r not a kid, that have no idea about unprotected s3x.
If u fucvk a woman continuously without protection, pregnancy always occur.
So what's the use coming online to tell us?
Lol, u dey mind am?
He should marry her o.
After all she is fresh and succulent cheesy
Maybe the girl is thinking she has hit jackpot
Not knowing she has entered one chance
Polygamy is evil
No matter how rich the man is the wives will never be happy
Always wanting to get more from the man than the other wife
Always fighting to secure her children's future
But op had made up his mind to marry his side chick so....... I wish him best of luck.

Op men like you disgust me
Look at you talking about love
You are selfish
Anyway I don't blame you
You don't even know what you are getting yourself into.
If you had an inkling, you would not have been here yapping about pro life bla bla
Na ur children I pity, they would grow up hating themselves and resenting you. They would end up clinging to their mothers.
Why do you want to bring children into a world of competition and jealousy
I don't even care about u, you and ur baby mama can eat shit. It's those children that would grow up with esteem issues i feel for.
U think polygamy is easy. Hahahahaha.
Say goodbye to peace of mind. That ur side chic u are in love with. Lmao. She's gonna taste bitterness.
By the time your legal family starts fighting her for your properties, she would know something.
I am from a polygamous home. It messed me up. I grew up with so much hate in my heart for my dad.
I made sure I married a man from a lineage of men with self control.
10-15 years from now your gonna regret this decision.
All you would left with is a flaccid deek and resentful children squabbling over what properties you have left.
But what do I know? your a man in love cheesy grin grin
Follow your dream, marry your princess and ride into doomland grin grin grin

Bellaella, i feelbits d knotted end too. its red and swollen and painful but nothing comes out when pressed, gave me painkillers and vit c to be observed for 1 week or so if no improvement, he wants it to be cut off n restiched and apply some injections on d site after stitches to prevent keloid growth. Pls what did u apply on ur site to make d recovery better?
I was given a weeks supply of amoxicillin capsules to be taken 3x daily. I was also asked to apply TCP 6x daily. That stuff is quite painful. I didn't get myself until I removed the rejected stitch.the doctor named it "healing by secondary intention". You can Google it and see if the symptoms match urs.
