Nnaa nawa o, weird!

Oya medical practictioners over to you.

@Troy20; E be like say you are Op's MIL, lol...
Please go back and re-read your post. You sounded as if a female child can't do all that you stated there. I should be asking you that question; do you have issues with the female gender?

for your information; i have them(three healthy boys) but doesn't make me a better woman than others, kini big deal?

^^ my dear tell them o

@Troy20; nawa for this your reasoning! does it mean that a well-trained daughter can't be a role model as well as take care of her younger siblings? Anyway, na you get your mouth.

@bellong Lol.. @Olalan, you guys are so on point!

@Op, our prayer as parents should be that the Almighty gives us children(irrespectve of their genders) that will be far ahead of us intellectually, morally, financially and any other positive attribute.

And that He grant both male and female children in every home especially in tribes where the quest for a particular sex if not granted always bring strain in marriages FOR THE SAKE OF PEACE, Amen!

^^ aka DaDewdropsNVS (hahaha)

Kanwulia! Hei! Odikwa KPOKPONKIOS! See as you come spice up this OP story and you nearrrrrrrrrly succeeded in making me agree with you 100%!

@OP; i dont agree with you, think about your self-dignity, think about your children, think about your salvation.

@LaRoyal Highness; there is nothing to wait for!
CHANGE is CONSTANT and i am not afraid to face life's mood swings; HIS grace is SUFFICIENT for me. since God has given me the opportunity of having this relationship with my help, i am determined to make her a success(morally, academically..) the same way i would do for my biological children.
I can afford to pay a nanny or adult help but i dont think i need such; i have a job that lets me run my home the way i want it (but with little help) and that's the reason why i went for a child-help that will grow along with my biological children as i dont intend bringing up lazy kids.
I wouldn't have bothered getting a help if i had an assisting hubby ( i just had to do the needful).

Afters: For those that have child-househelp like me(mine is about 13 years old). Treat her the way you treat your loved one, tolerate her while correcting her lovingly(afterall she has had a different training prior to coming into your home, and would need your patience for her to be able to fit into a new environment).
Give her a good education(academically and others), bring her very close to God and always live by example(you can't give what you don't have).

Though i have a help living with me for the past three months, i can only say that these tips are sure going to help reduce workload for my daughter(cos thats how i see her) and i.
Initially i didn't want a househelp because i did see myself as a neat-freak who could not stand anyone that couldn't housekeep like i do. But when i had my second baby and then fast-forward to six months; mehnn! my life became a living hell coupled with the fact that my hubby wouldn't assist me in house chores except in bathing our older baby. Running my Masters' programme, working and taking care of three boys including housekeeping made me lose my cool... i just had to get a help.
To cut the long story short; i am happy getting a help,we run a kind of team work(my househelp and i), i only assign housechores deem for her age like doing the dishes, sweeping and scrubbing some parts of the house
and washing her own clothes; i do the rest of the work.
But i still get tired doing these; thanx Op and other posters for the tips.

Uju; thanx for that observation.
An adult should always take responsibilty for his/her action. I just hate it when some people keep going on and on, about their friends or whoever, influencing them negatively, in justifying their reasons for doing wrong.
@ op; you really need to heed to (GreatGod, Nashville and Chillisauce)s' advice.
Just love yourself first!

I am so shocked at this sad news!
i have benefited a lot from VivianC's posts on relationship.
Such great talent!

Adieu; may your soul find eternal rest in the Lord, amen!

@ macjive; all the posters above have given you reasonable advice; Also, if you have the means(in form of private detective) to trail the movement of this evil woman, pls do not hesitate to do so cos she had already made up her mind to carry out her evil act; the feedback from the detective should be able to alert the authority(NAPTIP; etc.) depending on how far she has gone with her evil plans. Maybe you are that her house-girl's messaiah in disguise. Pls update us
PLS SAVE THAT POOR SOUL!

I feel only pity for Amaechi(being an ardent Amaechi supporter in terms of his good governance in Rivers state). I keep wondering what will become of him politically after his tenure as the governor. This statement of his shows that he is quite at loss; he is simply looking for a way to chicken out of his present misery; or could it be that he was taunting PDP?
Whichever way, He better stops romancing with APC as i forsee them dropping him like he's hot after using him, as he continues to prove that loyalty is not in his character; he has simply marred his further political ambitions by his own hand.
Amaechi should quietly spend the rest of his tenure developing Rivers state as he was doing before this power tussle with the presidency. my 50 cents!

^^ well said Bro, well said!

Barca! Barca! Barca!

@ poster; laughter wan kill me as i dey read your post. Are you sure you re not the family that was seated exactly before our seat at the church last sunday?
with so much drama from the three kids.
@ yellow pawpaw and Ngenge; so on point.

Its natural; they will outgrow this just stop the beating abeg.

Bracing up for such attitudes from my two boys soon!

op; it seems we re experiencing the same problem(its happening to both my kids of your kids' age).

I also took them to the hospital and their doctor prescribed Digicloge. The rashes disappeared but sadly appeared again when i discontinued using it for them.
Someone suggested Skineal and Funbact-A but i felt they are too strong for babies tender skin.

Just like Madam CC suggested; watch them closely cos it might seem the rashes are signs of allergy to something. That is what am doing right now and gradually am seeing the result.
Am also using shea butter, would update you. cheers!

@ Sniyi1; what can i say?
I'm so proud of you..Lol
Please keep up the good work; you will forever earn her love,respect and admiration (your children inclusive).
My head swells with joy whenever i see a man who shares ALL family responsibilities with his wife.
A billion likes!

Oh Taryour finally! the long awaited little Prince!
May the joy in your home know no boundaries.
Amen to all the prayers above

Hello my lovely e-family; how has your day been?

School resumes tomorrow; no more sleeping late; gotta wake up by 5a.m (e no easy)

Goodnight and wishing everyone a fruitful week.

@ RR, Bellong and CC; thanx for your prayers, i am doing every reasonable thing within my might to make it work(its nt been easy)!
@ Chillisauce; thanx( with sobs; am very emotional)
@ Bellong your story on a thread(i ve forgotten the title) was close to mine while growing up, the difference is that i had both parents, I was really inspired!

YPP; still waiting for my refreshment o

Hello Everyone; hope my own introduction isnt late?
Well, my username Celyt was cut out of my baptimal name though i never introduce myself to people by that name as it sounds local; lol!
I am from Anambra state; married but not to my friend(pls dont ask me why), Have two handsome sons; people tease me they re my dp facially.
My ideals for marriage and family are peaceful, forgiving, selfless, truthful,loving and faithful relationships.
Sadly i am caught up in a marriage a complete opposite of my ideals. Wished i discovered nairaland family section before i said i do(sorry to bore everyone with these),

CC(Madam) pls give me a little time(hope you still remember?)

Sorry but honestly speaking; i will do more than that! I may not kill him but i will make him a living ghost. In Nigeria, justice may not be done if he has good connections; so going to the police will be a no no option

@ tellwisdom; everything is not all about money! Besides, what do you know about the poster?

@ post; your post made my day; pls keep up the good work; dont mind some ignorant peeps here. You are a good example of a REAL MAN!

Thanks Madam CC for the response; hope to see the link as soon as possible.

@ onegig; my dear i no get the liver to post a thread here as some peeps here can be very judgmental and insulting; it would really be a waste of time.
Anyway thanks for the suggestion.

Madam CC you just bared my mind as i have been thinking of getting an online marriage counsellor but dont know how to go about it. I really have marriage issues affecting my peace. Just hope we hear from these professionals here soon as i am at my wits ends.

afters; Madam CC are you sure you are not one? I really need help before i make a hasty decision.

anyways; thanks for bringing on this thread.

Am so addicted to taking tea once or twice everyday.
just wish i can stop it; but dont know how.

Its really making me gain weight daily.

Its a no no for me (both of them), but doesn't mean i love them any less.

@ Op, very interesting topic
may i suggest that the responses should go like this, thus:

title of movie- foreign or Nigeria
e.g. Lion king- foreign(animated movie)

It will help those that would like to purchase the movies. Thanks

@ poster, am signing in to this, its really amazing! Can you show us some samples here and the price tags? where can i purchase? I live in the south-east, Nigeria.

The topic is misleading! moderators should do something now!

^ ok, thanx dearie!
