My husbands mother dont even know exactly how old she is. My husband barely know his own age. Bush-people

Seems like a normal gambian thing, though. Up until about 15-18years ago, almost no-one registrated births, so many people older than that can only guess their birth, by f.ex knowing something special happen that year, or a year they remember when they were so-so old.

For me, as a western woman, it took some time getting used to no always asking how old people are, cause thats one of the first things you ask in my culture when you meet someone new. They just dont know, and they dont celebrate birthdays either.

But, my mother in law do know that my husband was born on a thursday. Lol.

My husband used to do it at times with our daughter. If I needed rest and he wanted to do things in the house, or she was stressed, he would put her on his back. No problems.
But, he also used a MeiTai ( carrier ), cause the cloth would slip down on him

At times, our daughter actually preferred being on her daddys back instead of her mothers. It makes the connection between father and child even better.

When I was pregnant, I even had times where I could not stand to LOOK at my husband. I felt bad when it passed, but then and there? Pffft...I would go for a walk, cause everything he did got on my nerves.
It`s normal, though.

laurend1985: I finished level one. Where can I find level two?

With butt bible, or the other one?

Butt bible is on youtube, just search for butt bible lever 2
The other one dont seem to have a level 2, but I have used some of Buffy the body`s videos.

Me and my husband had a discussion about this last year, when she was about 1years old. We decided that she will not dater or marry before she is closer to around 35. Case closed.

Buuut, to be serious...

We will do our best to teach her good in life, and also about relationships. How she choose to take it from there, well..as long as I see her as a responsible, young woman, I will trust her to take care of herself.
But, I will do as my mama did when she brings a boy home; as soon as my daughter cant hear us, I will ask what he do for a living, how he picture his future, and ask where he see himself AND my daughter in 5 years.
