Just as advised above, you can try and send them to your MIL or your mum whoever is nearer.
I left Benin to be with my mum in Lagos on the 12th day after delivery so that I wouldn't be alone as my husband was already falling sick due to the stress.

MIL is around... most times wifey and baby are in her room but once I wake up that's the end of sleeping that night...I don't really blame your hubby o...the headache I feel during the day now is crazy...

Lol,welcome to fatherhood and parenthood.
You can't change his sleeping pattern.He will do that as he gets older which is much later.
Babies are more nocturnal when born.

Since you go to work and I believe your wife is on maternity leave and you also spoke about your MIL(is she with you),leave the night nursing for them.
Start sleeping in another room or the sitting room.

Lol....Yea wifey is on mat leave and MIL is around...The issue is that he cries whenever he wakes up to feed and once I hear that cry I won't sleep again till morning...Nawa o ... please at what age will he revert back to normal sleep cycle? It's really not easy being a father....

Hello wonderful Nairalanders... Please I'll need advise from experienced parents. God blessed my family two weeks ago with a wonderful baby. But here's my little challenge, the baby prefers sleeping all through the day and doesn't sleep for long at night waking us up every 2 hours or thereabout. My MIL said it's normal but this lack of sleep is affecting my work and my sharpness during the day... Please is there anyway we can change his sleep cycle and make him sleep more at night instead of during the day...We are new parents please...

Family / Re: Help Me Make A Good Decision! by Ephetar: 7:42pm On Nov 29, 2021
I wanted Ignoring you when I saw the F-word but I'll reply nonetheless.

This is my personal experience; I finished NYSC in 2015. I served in Delta State. Immediately after my NYSC I relocated to Lagos to live with my Aunt with a total savings of about 200-300k then. My Dad was against the idea, my Mum was of the opinion that I'll be bothering her poor sister with my upkeep and all. But then I told my Aunt not to bother about feeding me, I just wanted a place I'll be resting my tired bones after the day's work. Because my family didn't support my movement I didn't bother coming home after NYSC. I traveled straight to Lagos with a resolve to succeed. On getting to Lagos I called up some of my classmates who stay with their parents in Lagos but none of them was forthcoming. Excuses everywhere, naso I enter street. This was my first time in Lagos. I trekked out my shoe alignment in search of jobs and doing all sorts of menial jobs to get my daily feeding money. God's favour found me when one of the places I submitted my CV called me for an interview...The rest is history as I am currently a regional sales manager with one of the top companies in the country.

My advice;
1.Don't rent an apartment in Lagos yet it's pretty expensive. Try to reach out to friends and family friends and relations to get where you can stay for free without becoming a burden to your host.

2. When you come to Lagos be focused...!!! There's too much fun and owambe in Lagos. It can derail your ambitions if you are the too much fun loving type.

3. Lagos is stressful, be mentally ready to succeed at all cost. You might have to start small. I started in a biscuit factory where my daily pay then was 700 naira then.

4. Be humble, you can meet your helper anywhere. I sense a bit of arrogance in your writing and replies.

5. Be street smart...Lagos is LAGOS.

I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST...No PMs please...See you at the top...

If every region start showing churches and schools in their region, will this forum contain all of us?

This is what is deceiving these people that they are the best and first. Even in the north where Islam is prevalent, church properties and schools litter everywhere but our noisy neighbours no go allow us hear word.

You damn right, money doesn't guarantee happiness but I am happier now compare to when I was broke. It's not the money per se, it's the fact that I am more productive with my life,makes enough to get anything I want.

prizlezzlalasky:



I presume...you havnt delved into what you are passionate about...you focused on eliminating the poor background which you where raised from ....kudos on that .

How about you discover what really makes you fulfilled? Could be a hobby, fronting an NGO targeted at helping the less privileged (since you had a first hand experience while growing up)......getting married to the woman you love, having kids( trust me kids are bundles of joy)....and even taking a vacation to your dream destination.

You may also want to delve into a career you ve admired while growing up....hope this helps.

Beautiful submission.... Thanks

Once you are able to pay your bills, eat what you want and probably support people, additional satisfaction derived from additional money declines.

See the happiness derivable from Money as an inverted u curve or n, increases initially, Peaks ! And declines.

You need to find something that pushes you asides the money.

We all sometimes struggle with motivation.

The way to finding peace and fulfillment is doing the things that give you peace and fulfillment.

You’ve been able to secure sustenance spurred by the circumstances of your birth and upbringing. Now, to truly be happy, you must pursue your passions or a career that helps you actualise your true self.

A job, most times, is just a means to an end. Reflect on what and who you truly are at your core and you’ll find what you seek.

Thank you very much for this

You only bring people of similar values close so positivity could be exchanged amongst each other.
Giving back is a scam created by humanity to faux appease their conciense.

I wouldn't put it the way you did cause I have been on the opposite side and trust me..lack of money has frustrated me so many times..

I have even been embarrassed once by my landlord for not paying rent yet having a male guest

So many expenses clamping down on you with no hope on where to get the money

Money sure makes life easy...no arguement about this


If you are rich and yet have no happiness its cause you have not found a way to bless people with it..think of a project you could embark on that will impart people lives it could be organising a skill acquisitive program, scholarships or training for people who are really ready to learn but can't afford this trainings

I bet you when you see how their lives transform the joy that comes with it is unbeatable...

By the way pray you get a good wife too..that will give u peace and take care of u...happiness comes naturally...
When you have a woman you can't wait to go home to...


My opinion
Thanks.... though I'm not considering marriage as an option for now....I need to be happy within myself first before I'll bring a woman into my life...

LordKO:
Money on its own doesn't automatically give both happiness and peace of mind in the long run - of course, lack of it doesn't give them too. Believe you me, the ultimate happiness and peace of mind lie in living life on the periphery of conventionalism, especially when it is done altruistically and conscientiously. If you can transmute your once money consciousness into success consciousness and selfless-enable philanthropy, your problem will be almost half-solved. So in addition to most of what black.panthar said, it's a phase of life and your navigation prowess at this point will either make or mar your next phase of life. Be careful.

Also consider the almost inconsequential things, like a change in your eating habits in particular and lifestyle in general. For instance, if you normally eat sumptuous breakfast before, consider to limit your entire breakfast to a piece of whole egg and a cup of coffee eating between 9 and 10 AM at least for the next 6 months. Also limit the quantity of meals you eat at lunch and supper (make sure you don't eat anything after 7 PM), skipping lunch sometimes can help too. And always strive to start your day with a solo walk in an open air for at least 30 minutes. On the other hand, you also need to tie almost all your disposable funds to a longtime intangible assets and perfect the process with a solo vacation in any serene environment.

Be wary of opportunists who disguise as friends and associates at this point, yet don't fail to do your best for them, especially from a distance. But don't forget the importance of pledging allegiance to at least one trustworthy and established associate or friend though, either directly or indirectly, because you may need him/her any time soon - yet, don't build your hope around the person.






This is beautiful... Thanks boss

Acidosis:
Depends on what you do with money -- Things vs. Experiences


A man who spends N5m on his dream wedding will enjoy lasting happiness than one who buys dream 'things' with N5m (car, TV, clothings, shoes, iPhone, etc). The happiness you derive from this is only for a short while. For instance, the "happiness" you derive from acquiring iPhone 9 will fade away on or before the release date of iPhone 10.

You want happiness? Start spending on experiences: travels, memories, dream holidays (including travels to your village), dream wedding, humanitarian tasks, philanthropy, meeting needs, etc.

There are no interesting stories to tell about the car or house you bought in 1999, but there are many stories to tell about the experiences you had decades ago.

Wow.... another perspective... Thank you so much...I think I really need that holiday....Have been overwhelmed with the process of building my business that I haven't really gone on a good holiday for over 2 years now... couldn't even travel during Christmas to see my parents...I sure need that break...

Neither does poverty!
You can overcome it by doing what you love. That way, you are eager to wakeup everyday. Also, see if you can be self employed and delegate some of your task so that your hands will not be too full.

Okay.... Thanks
