CrimeRe: A Nigerian Woman Sentenced To 11 Years In U.s. Prison For Forced Labour by Outstrip(f): 12:10am On Oct 27, 2011
Useless cow. She thinks she is still in Nigeria were you hire a full grown woman to wash your 16 year old daughters drawers and then slap her around if you are not satisfied with her service. She will get a long time in jail to think of her actions.

@outstrip you are just assuming that I would be a terrible mil to my dil, I reject that in the name of Jesus. All am trying to say is that you should not be too hard on your parents because of what you see happening around you, after all the Bible says you should honor your father and your mother, I feel being kind to them is part of it. If the need arises for them to have to live with me I would even invite them (mil and mother) to come live with me, it is an African custom. I don't blame you, na your oyibo mentality dey worry you.

Now get this, it is only people like you who are not secure or something that would bother themselves about such things, as far as I am concerned a wife's role is quite different and distinct from the role a mother plays. You as a mother can never take the place of a wife, likewise the wife can never take the place of a mother, two poles apart, and if both you and your husband understand, love and respect each other nothing can come between you, your husband sef will be on your defense.

For your info and by the grace of God, I am not planning to live off my children, only a bad mother would do that. I am comfortable right now and believe it will remain so if Jesus tarries it is my prayer that the kids turn out even better than we are right now, at any point in time if they ever will need help my husband and I will not hesitate to run to the rescue. We would continue to pray that all goes well with everyone (parents and children) so that nobody bothers anyone. I even declare even right now that by the grace of God I will NEVER in future be a problem to my sils and dil and I pray to abide by what I have declared (I strongly believe in God), amen and shalom to you!
Amen to your prayer. You still missed my point though. You do not have to be a terrible person to be a nuisance or to cause serious marital strife

My mother till triumphed sound
But my MIL (highest one week) because she’s a case file as long as her 5 son’s wives are concern she’s a case file I repeat again.


MIL = angry sad cry embarassed

SWEET MOTHER = smiley wink cheesy grin cool kiss
Which is a problem. I sooooooooooo understand what you are saying. The reality though is that you have to deal with that case file as well as you deal with your own mother. I remember walking in when my mother was here and she was about to start cooking soup. She already had all kinds of crayfish and that her stock fish that looks like part of the furniture. I had to stop her becasue I had a meeting to run out to and I did not want the smell on me. It was not a problem though she will roll her eyes and say stuff grin grin compared to when I told my brother in law no to a suggestion he made and he felt that I had disrespected him. What I really wanted to say was hell to the no lol he was lucky that all he got was no. If it was my dad I would say no and not even think of it. He will just move on. I think that is one way that I realize that I am so lucky with the kind of dad I have.

For as long as they want. One day I would also visit my kids in their homes when they are married and would not want to be chased out of their home as if I am a stranger. Do unto others what you would have them do to you. Women remember your mil has become your mum too. You love her son you have to love her too because she gave birth to him. Shalom!
With this mentality you are gearing up to be a difficult in law. It is wonderful that you are okay with it but just don't assume that it will be that way with your daughter in law simply because you gave birth to her husband. The fact is when he marries it is their home and though you are not a stranger you need to realize that it is not your say. You should not even hold it against them if you are told that you cannot come for a three month visit. My suggestion to you is that you live your life to the fullest so that if your son chooses to enjoy their lives to the fullest you will not be a stumbling block. I love my mother too but that does not mean that my house will now be a camp ground. Thank God that she likes her own home. If she had her way she would just carry all her grand kids and keep them in her home. She built her home and she will not run to her children's home and become a nuisance. And yes your parents can be a nuisance even sometimes without their knowledge. Even my mom who understands her limits when it comes to her children's marriage needs to be cautioned at times. It can get too much. My mother is an organizer and I already knew that I did not want her getting into my stuff and arraging this and that when she was coming. I knew she would so I had to even throw away some "kinky" things I had lying around. Abi is it my aunty that is a saint for that matter but I can see her driving her daughter in law up the wall with her obsessive need to have everything cleaned an exact way. I think everbody should plan to not need to stay with their children for any long period of time. Make it your mindset. If the time comes and you get too old and weak for it to be unsafe for you to live alone then hopefull your children will understand that it is time to step up. Don't just think that you will pack your "bag and baggages" into another woman's house because yoru womb held her husband. Na only you get womb? Abeg

Black is beautiful. Nothing like smooth "black as night" skin. Chris Attoh then Dumelo and then the Anang guy. Majid's beauty comes from knowing that he is probably a closet freak and van Vicker looks innocent. Like your little brother.

relatively I did Outsrip. Though i am not to answer for the original poster. for me neither would stay as much as she wants except my hubby and I are comfortable with their staying. We determine how long we want u to stay.

No matter how u wish to present it, you cannot be so free with you mother in-law as your mother especially in some standard family values in your home.

I know u agree with me oh jare grin
I totally agree that you cannot be as free with your mother in law as you would your mother. Anybody that says other wise is lying. The point I was making was that if you want your mother to stay with you for one month then you should be okay with his mother staying the same amount of time. That is the only fair thing. If your mother can grow old in your home then so can his own mother

Would you say the same for your mother-in-law (husband's mum)?
There is always this hidden unacceptance between MILs and
DILs

Very many cant live together, I consider my Mum very peaceful but i wont advice my sister in-laws to have her for a long period, one has to guard her marriage with wisdom.

Car TalkRe: Are Women Actually The Motivating Factor Why Men Buy Cars? by Outstrip(f): 5:38am On Oct 25, 2011
Gbyte:
Lets stop decieving ourselves, the answer is YES. I don't want to write more than this cos if I do ladies for here go hate me
I can summarize it for you. Basically you cannot get a woman unless you can show that you have money. You just don't have enough swagga to get a chic. Period. A man does not need a car to woo a woman and if you really think so then you are the problem. There are many men who have wonderful women in their lives and never had to impress her with a dime. Those of you that swear that you can only get a woman if you spend money are just not man enough. I think that just about summarizes it. You are welcome

Car TalkRe: Are Women Actually The Motivating Factor Why Men Buy Cars? by Outstrip(f): 9:41pm On Oct 24, 2011
Really though. Why would my husband want to buy a car and I even give any real input. I would not ask his input on the car I buy why would I want to to force him to do what I wouldn't want him to do to me. If anything it is the other way round. Especially with Nigerians. The only time it would make sense is if it is a family of 7 and the man goes out and gets a miata. There will be trouble then.

FamilyRe: How Long Can U Allow Your Mum To Stay In Your Matrimonial Home? by Outstrip(f): 6:24pm On Oct 24, 2011
It's bad enough that she is staying for an extended period and then on top of it there is nothing to keep her busy. She is bound to make trouble. It is simply human nature. An idle mind is the devils workshop. If she was in the village riding her husband she would be too busy to look for trouble. The max my mom ever stayed with us was 1 month. Right after my second son was born. When my first was born she stayed 2 weeks. I can sort of understand if the person is very old and it is dangerous to leave them alone besides that everyone to their tent

FashionRe: Pain In The Name Of Beauty by Outstrip(f): 7:50pm On Oct 23, 2011
LOL. I remember the first time I got waxed down there. I was thinking she will kill me today. Imagine yanking off a large section of hair from your vagina. She told me not to worry that after a few strips that the nerves will be dead and I will not feel it anymore. As if that would make it less painful. My dear each and every time I go it still feels like cruel and unusual punishment. On top of it I am so used to it now that I just spread my legs and let the woman go to work killing my nerves down there. All in the name of beauty.

Are you in the US. If you are then all you need is to prove that she is harassing you. You need to get a restraining order on her if you can. To me she is dangerous

I am not a weave on person at all. My last fixing was hell, could not stand it. I felt pain in the spots where the thread held the weave unto my hair. I also hate it when I can see parts of my hair sticking out where they should be hidden. I find it really untidy.

I do braid like 5-6 times a year. I prefer my natural hair any time any day. I cannot stand being under the drier as well, blow drying all the way. Thank God for wigs!

Even the 6-inches heels, not for me, comfort is key!
Stop letting africans do your hair then you will not have bad hair.

Shouldn't people demand more. I mean that story Okijajuju just wrote is scary as hell. Shouldn't people be calling for someone to be fired if a police officer is found to be a drunk? Shouldn't yearly evaluations be done and if not done someone should be sued or sent to jail. It should be transparent. where so people report these things? How easy is it to report it. This is horrible.
