Please don't abort the baby. There has to be a way to fix your situation, maybe get a relative from here to join you and take care of the kids while you both work. I remember an uncle brought the mother inlaw who babysat his four kids for many years.
its too late not legal to abort anymore

My Brother don't get tired! as far as there is life there is always a way out. Kids are blessing. Don't regret a bit. A lot are praying to be on your condition. I understood the problem involves especially in abroad. I'd been in your shoe. I lived in abroad for almost 11 years i.e. both in Sweden and Scotland. In Sweden and Norway and most of the European countries your wife is entitled for a minimum of up to 6 months maternity leave with pay. as a husband you are entitle for paternity leave too. if this leave not enough then consider either you or your wife quitting from your job for a while to take care of the kids.. You can as well invite your mum or relative to come over to assist since paying for a nanny in abroad involves a lot of money. Thank God there are some stipends been paid for kids in most of the developed nation as far as you are staying legally.
i hope this advise could help
which cities were u in? Yes we will get leave but its still very tiring somehow. Ur right its a blessing. Thank god we r not in the US! Where daycare is 1000 euros per child!! Chai!

How do you guys manage to mount a lady that just gave birth sef? I mean how do you do it!? I can't imagine going back there for a long time after she must have given birth.. Not like it's going to be as "sweet" like before, so why are you desperately climbing up there so quickly after the whole "violence" of giving birth!?!?

My wife had our kids through CS and we live in US. There was really no help and she feels really tired. We took almost 2 years before trying to conceive again and it was condom throughout. We had our second kid and she's not even seeing her period yet but she's so scared of getting pregnant again so its condom again until we start trying for our last kid. I'm a man who has seen her cut open twice to bring out our daughters and I feel the least I can do is to standby her and make the sacrifice. It has nothing to do with being weak, having waited to conceive for 4 years, I just dread the day when she will be pregnant and regret it and blame me for it. That will be stupid, especially thinking about the prayers we made to have our first child. I feel your pain bro, my daughters are 3 years apart and I know what I go through here in America. But again, the deed is done. God will see you through. Your pain can never be compared to the pain of waiting. Let that be your consolation.
C section isnt easy.. wow but you are blessed! Thank u for the words of encouragement

grin grin grin grin grin cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy My Sister inlaw is as smooth as the devil itself, but I always beat her to her game! Like you said, she says something evil with I smile, Me I no dey smile, I dey give her back to back. After sometime, since she couldn't face me, she started calling my parents to insult them, till my elder sister put a stop to that rubbish!

Recently, I gave her a trailer load of my sharp venomous mouth, she started gathering people to beat me up, but you know, once you are BIGGER, you are BIGGER!

I bought them over!

I told her I will put an end to her rubbish, even though her sister has gone back to her, which has always been her plan, because she kept tell me "Why will her sister be married when nobody in her family is married?"

And I will put a stop to her wickedness! And evil!
.sorry this sounds deep. Dont you want the game to end? I dont like these wicked in law games

Abroad costs too much childcare is very expensive and also renting. Most oyinbos pay 30% of their income to just rent alone. All that glitters is not gold.

seems they nacked out the IUD, implant is better ,women stop seeing their periods during pregnancy and to some women it will continue after childbirth and until after a month or two after stopping breastfeeding it will come again,that is natural child spacing of at least two years of safe nacking,but some women see their periods and are fertile immediately after childbirth,now that's very tricky,and it demands serious family planning to prevent accidental overload,because man must nack
Yes we thought ok maybe while breast feeding our first child she wont be fertile but was pregnant within 3 months of giving birth to our first child and that is how our second one is here. So then we told the doctor after second birth lets put iud in and it worked for 9 months so we thought now we are safe but then she was pregnant again 9 months after even with iud.

I used to love family. Just the principle alone. But now as a married person I am starting to dwell on the fact that only one person we choose as family and that is our spouse and kids. I now ONLY want to focus on my nuclear family I created. My wife and our kids.

Theres so many in laws I wish to never see again. The nagging, sometimes online bullying, endless money requests. I dispise holidays like easter and christmas now because of in laws and extended family. Even after our two children were born and we were struggling, in laws are eyeing on how to pocket our money or live off us instead of helping. Or saying very mean things when we appear down! They are just wicked. Is it jealousy because we are abroad? I just dont know. I used to want to make extended family proud, now they just all annoy me. So much so that I dont even wish any of them happy birthday anymore.

Can anyone relate? I cant be the only one!

My wife got pregnant again even with an IUD. We werent planning for it. As these babies are so small and require so much care already.

Its not like raising them in the village. We live abroad and we dont get help. It means we always have to be with them if not for daycare but then we are working. We are already so tired.


I dont know if I am venting or asking for advice. We are grateful but we are so tired already... what to do...?

Hi!

Thats actually the strange part.. they are related by marriage :/ all the biological sisters are nice and the mom. We get along as best we can. But this in law by marriage where shes targeting me doesnt make sense.

chatinent:
Shebi you called her a sister in law?

Eh hen naw, it's her sister you are married to. Maybe they were talk mates aforenow and all that because nothing in your write-up shows she hates you.

Of course, it's normal! There are things sisters only want to discuss with their sisters alone when the husband is at a distance! You may be their hero in good discussion...but here you are in reality being paranoid with your four-corner head!


Bring your overseas ego down...na Naija you come. We wey don sabi all these things no bi goat. You are feeling over-security conscious when you never jam the wahala.

Please tell me have you ever been very slighted by one of your in laws and what does that mean

To round up she slights a lot of people has very rude remarks but says it with a smile so people cant say anything. Do you know what I mean? Please help cause honestly I never want to see this Auntie again.

Rostikol:
Many of you vilifying Russia and 'praying for Ukraine' don't even know the long and short of what you're supporting.

CNN has manipulated your heads. Your beloved ''west'' is responsible for thousands of invasions of regions, countries, and territories, across the world, killing billions of people including your own ancestors. Russia has never tried to enslave or colonise you or connive with your leaders to steal your resources. Instead, they funded liberation movements across Africa in the 1960s right up to the 80s. When the west dismissed Mandela and the ANC as 'terrorists', Russia did the opposite and funded them.

But no, They are your problem today because they reacted to the west's NATO adventurism, as that group continues to build military bases surrounding Russia.

Ukraine was the final straw. Russia will NOT accept NATO and US military bases on their doorstep, at their borders, just as the USA threatened nuclear war after President Khruschev of the Soviet Union tried to build a military alliance with Cuba, next door to Florida, making Khrushev withdraw.

Oh but now Putin is the 'evil monster' for doing the exact same thing the US would have done.

The Ukrainians you are crying about are racist to the core, and would throw you off the train if you tried to flee with them, like they did to black students there.

Russia is a superpower. She cannot allow sentiments to prevent her from protecting her strategic interests.

Africans should adopt a NEUTRAL position like the Chinese and Indians are doing, instead of playing happy slave to the west as usual, led by the nose by CNN and BBC.
i believe in sovereignty so ur right there but they are trying to over throw a sovereign country themselves. And they would do it to Nigeria too if Nigeria was next door to Russia.

yeah the north but what about coastal cities or places like Port Hartcourt, Akwa Ibom and Calabar? They can clean up the place really. Its peaceful besides crime but crime can be solved with good governance. I believe there is an untapped power.

Hey everyone,

I have been following the news of Nigeria. Im a foreigner but I would love to see the place turn into like a Dubai or have major cities like China.

Rmemeber Europeans had nothing 200 years ago. Could barely wash themselves. Had wooden teeth.

Why cant Nigeria do the same? I think they can I Think they are intelligent people that focus on the wrong things. If only they can collectively focus for progress then they can have 5 dubais.

Why not when theres no weather disasters, malaria vaccine is on the way and people are becoming more educated.


What so you think can we see a developed Nigeria in our life time?

I hope so.

When I visited it made me sick to see so much poverty over such stupid things like the card machine not working, people building churches but not hospitals, pensions not being paid but politicians buying the newest handbags abroad. These are really small things that can be fixed. I understand the energy problem is that theres a large population and energy resources are not managed properly. But if everyone just got solar panels it would be like having constant Nepa.

When I look at Nigerian women at the markets I see planners with finely done hair that took 10 hours to do. Someone precisely sat there with patience weeving such beautiful creations for a full work day, imagine if all the women gathered with that skill of precise weave making and used it for 5 days a week to build power lines? More electricity more cold goods for the local village markets.

I know Nigerians are smart but they are not focused they live in a dog eat dog world. Its so stupid that they do that and thats why God curses them with poverty
When it rains it doesnt rain on one mans house! Once they realize this they can redirect their focus and finally there can be paradises in Nigeria for all.

Hello there people of the world, how do ye do mates?

Im just curious, how do u make Juju recipes? I hear about west africans where im from talking about "im gonna put juju on him ooooo!!"
