Why Are Mother's Relatives And Family Members Always Kind? by irunoko(m): 5:44pm On Sep 11, 2022 |
Good day nairalanders.i don't know whether this issue has been addressed or overflogged on nairaland but I Have observed that in many families the mother's siblings,cousins and parents tend to be more kind, understanding,non confrontational and unagressive particularly amongst the yorubas, South South and southeast.i cannot say for the north because I'm not sure. However,in the paternal side of a lot of families they see the mother (especially if she's married to a financially successful man and has raised successful children or is still raising the kids) like she's an enemy or intruder.they tend to be disrespectful, confrontational and unempathetic and this extends to the kids too.infact in some families where the husband is not financially man enough to pay the bills,it's the maternal grandparents that step in to give the family food, money and even support in childrens school fees.they are also receptive towards their sisters children and are always ready to pamper them.this is not so with the husband's relatives towards the kids (please correct me if I'm wrong) there is this indifference, selfishness and sometimes disdain they have for the mother and or kids of their brother even when she hasn't proven to be a bad wife.so my question is,is this a cultural thing among the South West , South East and South South people of nigeria or it's just peculiar to some families? |

Simply, because most brotherhood bond gets destroyed from envy, competition, spite etc before they begin to have families and by so, their children become born into this world, worlds apart from birth Unlike brotherliness, females know their place and maintain family ties into their marriages with their kin folk. But, bitter jealousy would not make a brother who doesn't do well maintain blood relations with the one doing better 2 Likes |

IamBlessed12:but when the children of their brother achieves a great feats in sports, education or finances they begin to claim him and show sudden fake love.it even gets worse if the child decides to get married.the relatives of the father that didn't give a Bleep will begin to show irritating familiarity to the point of getting overbearing and domineering before their brother's childrens wedding.that is when you will see the brother that didn't even attend his elder brothers wedding or even contributed to the upbringing of the children talkless of ever giving the children 100 naira demand the biggest and his voice becomes the loudest when it's Time to collect bride price or dowry Why the fake love and entitlement?
