According to the man, something must be wrong with his wife. While admitting that she has not failed in her roles as a wife and mother to his kids, he reiterated his worry that he felt she should have grown past cartoons.

He appealed for help to fix the cartoon problem.

In his words:
"I feel like something is wrong, I don't really get her sometimes. She doesn't even watch the movies I want us to watch together unless I really encourage her. She acts like me not watching those their cartoons with them, I'm missing out on something great.

“My wife, 37 years old, enjoys watching cartoon even more than our kids. When I say cartoon, I mean animated movies.
Our first boy is 14 years old down to our last who is currently 4 years old.
They’ve turned the home into a cartoon home.
They are soo addicted, they sing their songs, do their dances and discuss those things all the time.

My wife at her age will be running as if something strange was happening and she forgets herself to be an adult sometimes.
I’ve tried to explain to her that I don’t really like it, I don’t complain because they are being happy but, I don’t understand my wife’s addiction. Even when the kids aren’t around, she’ll be watching animated movies alone.

Once they get home, she’s going to narrate all she watched to them and even demonstrate with actions some funny/emotional scenes.
I feel like something is wrong, I don’t really get her sometimes. She doesn’t even watch the movies I want us to watch together unless I really encourage her. She acts like me not watching those their cartoons with them, I’m missing out on something great.
Is there something I can do to help her? It’s somehow bothering me.


Kindly note that, she’s fully employed and still does her duties as a wife and a mother. I don’t have any problem on that side, I just feel she’s addicted to animated movies when actually, she has grown pass it.”

The same way we men love to watch football and/or wrestling is the same way most wives love watching animations and Telemundo. Please try to accommodate that if she isn't lagging in other aspects.

Stop telling Fables! undecided

Those animes are loved and painstakingly created every year by many grown men and women-- many of them now in their 50s/60s-- who also have responsibilities, some even more than you can ever dream of shouldering. Stan Lee, for example, continued pushing his comic dreams well into his 90s and he had responsibilities too. undecided

So stop hiding behind these useless tales typical of folks who are merely under-achievers with nothing but excuses to offer the world. undecided

I can bet you, I can mention many cartoons I've watched more than an average Nigerian, at some point I was a cartoonist, drawing cartoon characters, and I still have friends that draw cartoon characters for fun.

Yes I still love cartoons don't get me wrong, but in this part of the world, you and I know that the chances of having a career in that field as an animator/cartoonist is low plus I'm not that talented, also it's different from my discipline.

And the fact that I'm an "under-achiever" is enough reason to put my hands to something achievable that I can offer to the world or at least my immediate environment.

On a serious note, though, overlooking the inaccurate headline, I do not find anything wrong with her based on the narration of the man.


He's just not her kind of person, or at least, he doesn't get her, and it's sad.

1. So this previous claim of yours was a lie then?
GreatAchiever1:

2. Oh, please! The reason that Nigerians don't even attempt such feats has to do with herd mentality and lack of innovation. You said you used to draw cartoons so what stopped you from pushing on to writing and maybe even working on cartoon shorts here and there? The average Nigerian would rather go out and do what everyone else is doing to make money than try something entirely different. That is the major reason why there is near no animation industry in Nigeria even though talent dey if you search well. undecided

There is nothing wrong with the man, he has no issues with the woman watching cartoons, all he wants is for his wife to know where to draw the line. He wants the wife to act like an adult sometimes. Acting like characters you watch in cartoon should be for kids not adult. When you switch roles with kids they subconsciously disrespect you and start seeing you like a playmate.
You can't tell if the wife and one of the kids have been acting tom and Jerry throwing objects at each other which prompt the man to share his problem and seek solution on social media.
