bukatyne:me? Na lie. There's no time soup or some kind of fufu is not in my fridge. I just do them moderately. Like once a week or two weeks. Even back in naija, they weren't my favorite. If only I can resist rice, then I'll know I'm really serious. That's my weakness. |
bukatyne:what? ![]() |
If I'm like this after having kids ehn. Anything I ask DH he will just give without thinking twice. BABE3: |
So true and so funny ![]() EfemenaXY: |
BABE3:Phew I spoke too soon. After I finished, I had to crawl upstairs because I couldn't use my legs Back to my trainer. I missed you baby. Don't mind babe3 |
BABE3:Thanks. No it wasn't difficult. My challenge would be to keep it up. |
Thinkr:Ok I've gotten it into my head that you raise hell in the office if one of your bosses does something you don't like. Any other thing? |
Thinkr:What if his male boss asked him to help him carry his briefcase? Then he can be called a feminist?. May anti-feminism not make you lose not only your mind but also your livelihood. Amen. One unwritten rule, never outshine the Master. If you want to get ahead in your work place, little things that or helping your boss get coffee or lunch could be all it takes to get you ahead than your mates. Pride will be the undoing of many people. I know some people have deep comprehension issues so let me clarify that I don't think anyone should stomach abuse in any form to retain a job. But holding your boss's bag or briefcase doesn't count as one such incident. Just tuck your silly pride away and get what you want from there and move on with your life. The OP will still be searching for a new job while his mates there have gotten promotes to new levels. Let's hope hey don't Fire him at his new work place because he's too big to do something for his boss. |
Oh I used to do that in my former exercise video. I don't even know what the guy called it. Thanks a lot. EfemenaXY: |
OP I hope your pride places you on a monthly salary. Mtchew. |
Orunto:i had to laugh Where do you guys come youbwith such jokes ![]() |
moca:yes o. How I wish ![]() |
Babe 3 which one is burpee? ![]() I was trying to follow that exercise you gave to efe and I got stuck there. So I'm doing YouTube in front of the TV. I'm already tired of my hybrid elliptical trainer. One type of exercise can be boring really. |

Thanks ![]() taryour: |
taryour:Exactly. At bold summarizes it. There's no one size fits all. There's a correct response to any situation. Always applying tolerance and kindness works most times. But If unfortunately a woman finds herself in a situation that only the break up of her marriage will make the MIL happy, then she's justifed to take off the kid gloves and show some tough love. They will reconcile afterwards and the love will even be stronger than when they pretended to get along. Are you going to give me the cake tip? ![]() |
Depending on age, I even see old people as kids. This saying that the older one becomes the more like a kid they act is very true. I've experienced it. I absolutely adore old folks especially those ones that are no longer physically strong. They throw tantrums and asks questions like kids sometimes it is amusing. And you're looking at them like "so someday I'm gonna be like this" ![]() And some of them are just full of blessings. If you buy then only one wrapper they will bless you until your black cheeks blush bright pink. Aww. bebe2: |
No this one is a different story but on the same thread Just click on the link. I'm still with you on the not returning violence for violence. I am anti-violence. This one is a story of a woman who did practically what this baba in the story told the girl to do but instead the MIL paid her back with worse treatment. Are we going to act like such things don't happen? Me I'm even saying the lady was tough to insist the MIL goes to a homeless shelter that day or the marriage would be over. Even though I may not be able to do that if I was her, I can't judge her for it. The MIL clearly had it coming and would probably have continued if the DIL didn't stand up that one time and said her piece. Sometimes tough love is what works taryour: |
taryour:I like the middle one. Can you pls share a tip on how you achieved the color separation? Thanks. Maybe in the kitchen thread. If it not too much trouble. |
bukatyne:he's fine. And yours? ![]() |
Shollypopzz:Seriously. You can't seem to have a different opinion without someone implying that your parents didn't raise you right or you're married to a wuss or you must be projecting your own personal experience or evil. Well what if it was one's personal experience? It all the more lends credence to the topic doesn't it? It would be so much fun if we could disagree respectfully. Let me keep wishing. |
I wouldn't even hit back at someone my own age let alone an older person. Seriously I'm so anti-violence I don't even want to spank my kids. So I'm with you in that angle. But when will the posters on this forum admit that some older women are troublesome. All I see is blaming the girl and insulting those who try to say that men should set boundaries in their homes. It is like everyone is saying amost the same thing but some can't just agree because they don't like the folks saying it. bebe2: |
https://www.nairaland.com/2221772/pls-wife-fought-mother-following/14#32098730 Taryour Greatgod Everyone else Try read this woman's story and give me your honest opinions. It is all good to teach tolerance but someone learning from you guys would also love to hear what you have to say in such a situation. For now Let's do away with taking gentle swipes at other posters and actually discuss.(I hope that is possible) In my opinion, that woman handled her problem the way she thought was best at the moment. I can't judge her even though if I was her,I don't think I'll even have the liver to send the MIL out to a homeless shelter. Maybe I'll bear her for another day or two while I buy ticket for her to leave. I can imagine if the man wasn't there that day, maybe they would have fought. Who wouldn't want to hit back after someone crouched from under you and pulled your both feet from beneath you making you land with force on the floor? The reason why I won't fight back in such a situation is because I'm afraid of getting beat up as I'm not strong. Not because I'm so good that I say thank you to every act of violence meted out on me. Let us try to be fair. Thank you. I don't think anyone whose head is correct will tell one to go and fight their MIL but acting like there are no bad MILs is like ignoring the problem. some despite anything will hate you for not being the girl they wanted their son to marry, for not being her friends daughter she has been eyeing for her son,for not being from the area she wanted her son to marry from etc etc It will only take time if that one is open minded for them to really see you for who you are and love you or accommodate you. It Is unfair to make it out to be the girl's fault alone. There are bad women everywhere. Do they suddenly become Angels when they become MILs? I guess not. So every once in a while, a MIL will be to blame for an issue going on between her and her DIL. Let's not downplay it. As in that woman's case above. She was even kinder to the MIL than her own son was. Meaning that the man knows his mom and didn't want that interference. But she was treating the woman like her own mother. This story also puts to rest the argument of treating one's MIL like one's mom, it may not work. I love my mom to death but also very carefree and somewhat flippant around her. A MIL may misunderstand that. So what works for me is to act even more guarded and respectful towards my MIL Because she can't understand me like my mom can. Just study the woman and follow her the way you see is better according to your own situation. |
Moca I dreamed of you today. I don't even knew what we were talking about ![]() |
Shiningmama:I can tell you your MIL is a nice woman. Some would have taken serious offense at that question. Me I for just sit down listen. And say thank you at the end. No questions asked. |
Na wa. So person no fit come nairaland type that sons should maintain boundaries between their mothers and wives or that MILs should respect their DILs.that must be a very evil opinion Smh. Why the unnecessary catching of feelings? No offense. I would assume that anyone especially if raised in Africa knows that respect for elders is non negotiable.so it goes without saying that before a lady is married, she knows she has to respect her MIL. (Of course there will be the exceptions to the rule) Now does the MIL know that her DIL is a human being with feelings too? Is it wrong to say a MIL should respect her DIL too? Someone who can't slap her grown up daughter will raise hands to slap someone else's grown up daughter and we turn the girl into a witch because she reacted. I don't know the last time my parents hit me. Maybe as a teenager in my early teens. After that if you do something wrong, they will tell you "you're now an adult. Do you want to be flogged or slapped like a child before you learn" Most people here didn't even get hit by their parents but then somehow it is ok to get hit by parents-in-law. You guys can keep pretending that such problems don't exist or that it is only the duty of the DIL to bear all but the problem won't go anywhere with such attitude. Taryour pls I'm not trying to rain on your parade, your story is sweet and teaches tolerance which I'm an advocate of BTW but it is as unbalanced as they come. And the fact that you were already expecting someone to attack you for it is funny. Who no like sweet story ![]() For the girl looking for poison to kill her MIL, I don't have any words. Shey she no fit leave the man if it is that bad. Anyone with a brain will agree she's evil. so what's the lesson? Don't try to kill your MIL? Well she can try and end up in jail for the rest of your life. Or be killed too. (He who lives by the sword dies by the sword) If only nairaland is A place where people can share different opinions without things getting heated up and some people with agenda and issues making derogatory remarks about other people's families and how they were raised just because they have different opinions. |
iykedare:and you are who to tell her what to do with her life? If she wants a phd,she can get one. She can have any education she wants without being told off for it. Not all education is gotten for job prospects. What is wrong with you people? |
You can take out a restraining order against her if she continues with the threats. Some people are over clingy to the point of being dangerous if not handled carefully. Or you can get someone who you think she might listen to talk some sense into her. Maybe help her get the clear picture of what she's doing in case she's not aware. And pls when you say no, mean no. Welcoming her back into your home,accepting her gifts and food send mixed signals. If you're not into her,don't even fan one embers of her affection by being nice,since you've ibviousky seen that she misreads niceness for love. The best solution is a clean break. Don't respond to her calls. Don't text back. Be firm but not cruel. If she doesn't get any attention from you in a while and sees that you're never going to give it, hopefully she will pitch her tent elsewhere and forget you. |
anitank:Well don't assume for them. A masters degree doesn't have to take anyone away from home. So For now according to the story in the post,no one can really say what his reasons are for not supporting her her educational advancement. I wish I were optimistic like you to believe that no right thinking man in this century wants a woman that's not progressing financially or academically. Just do a little opinion poll on nairaland alone and you will see that such men abound. |

She is my mother, I was the one that later called her and went to visit her. 3 days ago she repeated the same thing I just overlooked it.
