My Brother's Wife Wouldn't Let Their Children Go To School Because Of This by Dailyparrot: 12:02pm On Feb 01, 2022
My brother lives in the remote part of Ikorodu. They have three kids.

The children didn't go to school throughout last term and this term again, they've been staying at home. When other kids in the compound have gone to school, his kids will remain at home with the wife doing nothing.

The reason the wife stopped the kids from going to school is because she wants them to leave that part of Lagos and move to the developed part of Ikorodu or any township part of Lagos.

Invariably, she's using the kids staying at home to protest and punish the husband, maybe?

I feel she's punishing the kids and not the husband. My brother leaves for work very early in the morning and will not be able to take the kids to school himself.

He's not financially capable of relocating at this time but I feel he can plan with his wife and save towards relocating, maybe in a year's time but I doubt the wife is taking the best approach.

The wife said she's not taking up any job or starting any business until they relocate from that area. So for now, the whole burden is on my brother.

Please, what's the best approach to this their family issue. We don't want to take side and go hard on the wife, but, don't feel she's taking the best decision for the kids.

In most cases, when a couple wants to rent an apartment, the wife’s choice is always what is agreed upon. My question is, didn’t she know her husband rented an apartment in the remote part of Ikorodu? If she did, then it’s so callous and wicked for her to use her kids to protest her anger. The couple should sort their issue amicably

The wife is not mentally okay! She is not financially contributing to the running of the family and still setting conditions?

What does remote part of Ikorodu mean, are other humans not living there? My parents moved to Ojota (Lagos) in the early 70s when it was regarded as a remote area and people made fun of them for living in a "village" but they were unperturbed and rather used that opportunity to acquire plots of land there! Today you can't even buy a plot of land with a face me I face you bungalow on it in Ojota for less than N35m!

Rather than hustle alongside her husband to see how they can both earn and save to buy a plot there and start something modest on it, she is giving ultimatum! shocked

The husband has been an enabler, reason for the boldness!

Your brother no matter how busy he is, must create time to personally go register their children in school and let it remain that she refuses to prepare them daily for school.

Just hope your brother doesn't collapse someday from so much pressure....we lost a neighbour through such, it was after his death that his lazy wife began to ask what she can do to earn income to fend for their children.

It could be that the part of Ikorodu where they’re living is not safe, and your brother’s wife is just being careful with the children.
I’ve heard that most part of Ikorodu isn’t safe for anything. Cult clashes from time to time.

1. She wouldn't take a job.
2. Her husband isn't financially capable.
3. And from the look of things the children would not go to school until they relocate.

U can't help your husband to grow then your a typical example of "household enemy". This is why it's good to marry someone that has a job or a business woman.

This one just used marriage to dump her destiny in a man's house.

I respect women alot but this one no be am honestly.

I pity your brother seriously.

My brother, I don't think this was the case..... If u check their history, there's a possibility that it was the man that begged and begged and begged before the woman agreed to marry him.... So when she entered into the marriage proper, She will feel like she did him a big favor marring him...

That's why I was never a fan of too much shakara of the opposite sex.... If u ask her twice and she said NO or she will think about it, move away very fast... let your legs have wings....I was never into worthless challenge....in term of bragging that I finally got her...

Just imagine,... She was jobless and was in full control like this.... just imagine that reverse was the case and she happens to be the breadwinner...

I only feel so sad that those kids academic progress has to slow down because of a selfish individual who was using their future to play card...I wish there's something to say to her that will make a change...a selfish person can hardly change...

Where they currently live, they don't pay rent. The house is built by my brother's friend.

As for those asking if my brother begged her to marry him, in fact, she's never my brother's type.

She took in for my brother and the marriage was forced. But you know, once children are involved, a woman will always use them as bargaining chip for everything.

Are you sure they're not living in a den of ritualists?
How safe is it for them there?
They're always doing Orò/rituals in some remote parts of Ikorodu, so find out how bad things are in their place. She can't want to punish her husband by destroying her children's future/education.

She was never your brother’s type, and yet he slept with her and got her pregnant. Irresponsible if you ask me.

If they want it “I got her pregnant”, if they don’t “she took in”. Na she give herself belle?

I don't like interfering into husband and wife matter . It is always a long one but for the kids. Obviously, she is an illiterate that why she doesn't know the value of education. How dare she use the kids education as her weaponry? And the husband not breaking all hell loose on this matter means he is slow .
Op, if you can, please raise alarm , involve social services if you can or get family members involve . These kids are wide-gap away from their counterparts and they are suffering even mentally watching other kids go to school.
Your brother should shake that lady , do "madness" for her . Threatened by telling her to go . "Yimu" she will not go anywhere since she is financially incapacitated. If you don't like a place fight it out why refused the kids going to school ?

For the sake of the kids, your family cannot just stand by and watch. Because whether you like it or not, this may backfire in future. How long do those kids want to remain at home before they start school? How old are they?

Maybe education is not important to your brother also, because I don’t see why he can’t take some few days off work to go register those kids in school if he can’t get his wife to do it. Doesn’t the wife have family that can speak sense into her? If that doesn’t work, your brother can make arrangements with other neighbors or even the school for pick up and drop off of the kids. Also, any family member that has some free time now, can go over and help out with the kids and ensure they go to school.

There are ways but the bulk lies on your brother. He needs to take charge of his home.

Your brother should maybe send his kids to stay with other relatives, so they can attend school - public school- since his wife who is supposed to care for them refuses to do so. They can come back home during the holidays to visit. He would also need to send along money to care for the kids while they are away so they don't end up a heavy burden on relatives. undecided

As for their mother, he needs to make it clear to her that if she ever wants her dream realized, she would need to take up work to help raise the finance necessary to make such a lofty goal a reality undecided

Some of us are "Stand Alone Husbands" When our wives go on strike, we cover up and let them know, our world will not standstill because of their stubbornness!

Your brother can wake up and dress the kids for school! Take them there and figure a way for them to come back in the afternoon.

if he was a widower, wouldn't his children be going to school!

I have seen men do that!

Like, you can marry every guy you accepted to have sex with?

We all know that sex and love are not the same. That I can have sex with a girl does not mean I can tolerate her as a wife.

I blamed my brother though. I would leave the girl a single mother and take care of the child from afar if I were the one.

They live far far away from us (the other family members). My brother didn't even tell us about this until my sisters visited them early January.

Due to the place of work of my brother, he can't afford the time to prepare and take the children to school.

Nobody has that time. People are not done looking after their own children, it's to be taking care of children that their father and mother are alive.

It's a sad one. Her argument is that the school the children are attending is local because she believes that place is local.

This is someone that probably had the basic education she was able to acquire in the village ooo.

Now, school in Gberigbe, Ikorodu is too local for her kids to attend.
