Congrats chiejk, such a big baby. God bless ur family with the necessary resources to take gud care of him.
Congrats, nkemella. Remaining small, ur baby would have opened this September for other new babies. May God's name be praised.

Kai, everywhere is smelling of babies.......hmmmm...I love that smell

Hellooo mamas,it's been a while oo,how una dey.

@lovinam, pls remind me, is it gripe water u give to a little baby experiencing colic. I think someone suggested something different the other time but can't remember. Pls any idea? Thanks.

@mamateniola, I can understand that 'it's my brother's house' attitude. I can assure u that it's just a phase cos it won't last. What most of this SIL's forget (especially the single ones) is that they will also get married one day to somebody's brother too & the circle goes on cos what goes around comes around. As for your bedroom,u can get a key & lock it up,she has no biz with ur room pls. Once u have started allowing that then u must continue to allow it but if u can put down ur feet at once then it will stop. God will see us through.

Waowwww so many princes in the house......congrats @chia gel & vinna, God bless u both. Kisses to the princes.

Dhabeautyjas, present ma. Trust u're gud,regards to ur family

@dorosola, noted. But you can also suggest any other topic you deem fit for discussion so we all can learn & keep the thread alive,thanks.

@chizzy,thanks. Everything is resolved now,3yrs is gone now & everyone is on his/her own. We now do friendship from far,we see once in a while & only talk straight to the point no time for extra gist abeg.Everybody now knows their boundary & the respect is there now. I'm only glad that the brought out the true colours early enough so I truly know they're not what they actually portrayed themselves to be. We are living far from them now,they come once in a while now just for visit. Sometimes when I remember everything I will just SMH...hmmm

Hmmm....I never knew that all my answers didn't go down well with her & that she had a bigger plan for me o. Sunday of that same week after church I was driving home with same sil beside me,it was just the two of us in the car & I was gisting with her & we were laughing together unknown to me that the laughter did not reach her mind. The following day was a Monday & it was also a public holiday so no work. As early as I could even get up from the bed, I heard a knock on our door(I was preggy then, in my 1st trimester but it was unknown to them as I & hubby agreed to keep it a secret till I start showing). Then I asked hubby who was it at the door, he said they were his late mom's sisters that they have come to judge & settle some matters....I asked hubby, where you informed of their coming before now,he said no,he wasnt meanwhile this whole shit was
initiated by sil. I was madddd but dh asked me to keep calm & say little of whatever I wanted to say bearing in mind my condition. I said OK.

Fast forward to the tribunal,which was comprised of 2 bils, 1sil, 2 of late Mil's sisters, dh & I and from the look of things I was the only strange person. Then each of them started complaining, most of their grievance dated back to 8months ago during our traditional & white wedding that I didn't want to snap with them,that I did this I did that, Omg!.....another case was one day dh locked all the cooking pots inside the kitchen cabinet for all & I wasn't even around on that day I came back in the evening & entered the kitchen to fix some things before going to bed. Not long after that I heard a very deafening knock on our door,I asked hubby to get the door & it was bil. I could hear everything he said that night,that was around 10pm. He was shouting to dh that I locked up all the pots in the house in the cabinet, I didn't allow him do some cooking for himself since I won't do it for them. He said all sort of things but I just kept quiet but dh never cautioned him nor said anything to him.

Then I asked dh why didn't he say something to his brother since he knows I just got in this evening,I've not been home all day then how could I have guilty of that. Dh didn't say anything, I was just on my own so I said to myself how can I go & correct bil as my dh couldn't correct him, so I was just looking but I let dh know it was unfair.

Bil also said at the tribunal at he has never seen me pick a broom once to say I want to wash the bathroom that it was his brother that always does that. It was at that point I let him know that he lacked manners & that he was not up to my mum's last born. I discovered that at the meeting no matter how I tried to defend myself I'm still guilty so I decided to just be looking & listening to their judgement since dh was not even saying anything to defend me, I was just on my own. Then after the judgement had favoured them bills started prostrating fake prostration to me,then they started sharing drink,I just asked them to keep their drink, I was so disappointed especially in dh for not been able to defend me. I went in & started weeping uncontrollable. I was traumatised, I can't pray for that to happen to my worst enemy.

The

Hmmmm.......I never had a mil as she's late,my fil too died 3mths to our wedding so I only have bils & sils of which they are all younger to me, I & hubby are just a year apart. Hubby is the first child & so he had a lot of responsibilities which I understood & I don't usually bother him since i'm a working class lady & independent too.

I could remember when my fil died,unknown to my fiance I was running up & down to my own sisters to see if they can give me anything to add to what I have so as to give to my sils & bils to serve as a little consolation to them. Then my sis told me i shouldn't kill myself afterall i've not really known them that i should just do the little I could do,there's no need to go extra mile. I said Ok. I just did the little I could do for them but anytime sils were having birthdays I usually go shopping for gifts for them.

Fast forward to after wedding, the story changed. One of my soil was still loyal but the other one & bils became hostile. We were living in a kind of family house, I didn't foresee any problem before the marriage else I would have insisted dh get another apartment before wedding. So most times if I notice anything was wrong I usually discuss with dh,I don't confront his siblings. I remembered I particular day sil came to see me that I should forgive her if she has done anything wrong to me, I told her she has done anything wrong as I've never made any complaint about her of which I also asked for her forgiveness too. She went further by saying
that she observed that I don't usually interact with our neighbours as they're friends to everybody.I answered her by saying firstly I wasn't brought up to be poking my nose into people's home that I will only do that when necessary & secondly after returning from a hard day's job,where's the time to go & be doing that,even if I'm jobless I can't do that. Again she said she noticed anytime I'm in the kitchen I don't usually call her to come & help.......shuo, see me o. Well, I told her that why will I have to sound a trumpet to call her when her younger sister joins me at will. I just concluded in my mind that her younger sister was far matured than she was.

@hispinkolo, I've had my own share of in laws troubles, I've studied them & understood them as they have also shown me the stuff they're made of early enough. So I've learnt to keep them at arms learnt.

I've experienced some of the things you went through too & that was when my marriage was just 8mths.Sil (far younger to me)just invited their family members one early morning without prior notice to come over to our house to come & judge me because they believed I came to snatch something away from them. My dear,it took the grace of God for the marriage to still continue till this stage. Today if I look back I continue to bless God but I see a lot of regret on their faces. It is well

@snazzy love & hispinkolo, so happy it all ended well ahhh thank God............hmmmmm marriage & some in laws share........it is well.

The love from afar is the best o

Congratulations! BTW are we invited to the wedding

All a-z mamas,I dey hail o

@snazzy love,great thread here. Please come back to give us the latest outcome on how the issue with Sil was handled, the thread is very interesting don't let it die yet,lol.

I'm really learning a lot though i've got my own stories too. The best is to treat everybody equally,do the best u can & leave the rest to God.For me, I don't have Mil/Film but Sils & Bils who are not nice at all. Thank God they showed me their true colour early enough(just 8mths into the marriage) but were very nice to me before the marriage. It was as if I came to steal something away from them. Well I've since put them where they belong,no too much interaction,friendship from a distant.

Snazzy love I'm waiting for ur story

you are welcome dear.


Amjane,, good to know you are better, pele.



so many strange things are attached to pregnancy, have you tried seeing a gyne? if you can't do most work, its time your dh steps in to help or get someone to stay with you for the main time. its well with you sweetie.
by the time you carry the sweet lo, you will not remember the pain again



just try different food items, i know one will definitely stay. try peppery food and reduce oil or abstain from vegetable oil for now.


happy birthday to little imurboss.Long life and prosperity, may she live to fulfill her destiny.
