And this is why you should plant a tree in your younger years so that you can sit under its' shade in your later years.

I'm not saying the wife is a saint but if Mama had taken that wife as her daughter all through the marriage, instead of "That Woman Who Is Competing With Me For My Son's Affection!", this would not be an issue.

If my Aunt-in-law is sick, I'm showing up for her. Yes, she has finished me with her mouth behind my back but she has also loved me fiercely to my front (and used her mouth to finish me to my front as well grin).

You failed to get the point.

I no understand, so he need her permission to bring his own mother to his own house.
Make she go her Papa house if she doesn't want the responsibility.
The point is who's going to take and provide extra care for the mother?most men dump their mum on their wives to care for,not minding the wives are also caring for the Kids,herself,husband and the home.


The best person to care for the mum are the daughters,so its best the mum goes to the house of her daughter.

Sometimes you go just dey cap anyhow...if dem turn the table,can you provide xtra care for the mother of your future wife?

May we no marry werey as our partner,to spend the rest of our life with angry

Would she had refused if it was to be her own mother? angry

Na this kind of wife dey use attitude dey chase her husband family people from her husband simply because she sees them as a threat to their home angry

A woman who can't see and take her mother in-law to be like or even to be her own mother is a big red flag....

To think I once dated a girl who jokingly told me that she was happy my mom was late,cuz she wouldn't have loved to want a mother in-law,na from that day I realize say na agric fowl I dey date..
And please your last paragraph stop insulting the female gender,even zonefree wey you dey imitate don get sense, and he has started acting matured.

Another Man caring for another person's mother,
so flip the coin if it was to be the Womans mother , she will bring her mother to the Man's house right to use the Man's resources to care for her own mother.
How reasonable does that sound, koyemi

So this man has a sister, yet he feels it is his wife who should care for his mother? Why do m0st married men open the door for pr0blems in their marriages? Your mom's biological children should be the first choice of caregiver for her.

You are 33 with an 11 year old son. So, let me assume you married at 21 or had a son at 21. What was chasing you to start a family that early?
I always wanted to have a young Family....

It is one thing to have your mother visit as a guest for a day or two, but having her over on a longstay or worse, because she is sick, then you need to be upfront and better negotiate her stay and care with your marriage partner. undecided

Does the man and his wife have space for her during her stay? Will the man be responsible for his mother's care throughout her stay, or is this a ploy to bring in another human burden for his wife to have to deal with? Conversely, the man can easily send his mother to a care home or something where she would be better cared for. undecided
Probably is the wife that is paying the rent.

Nigerian man laments after his wife refused his request to bring his sick mother to their house
the man should be striped of Titled called MAN, He's not a man to be Lamenting as a man, you don't need permission from anyone to bring home your mother to care for, did your mum got permission from anyone before she conceived you or care for you for many decades? Why don't you divorce such wife and get a normal wife

You've spoken well...

So far the wife will agree to all of these, if it's her own mother too

I don't think it is fair to suggest that the man's sister take care of her mother. She has her own life just as he does. They could both take turns in personally caring for their mother... after all, she is their mother, not just their sister's mother. undecided
Have you changed your view that people dont owe their parents anything?

What’s with africans and the mentality the children should pause their lives to take care of the parents?.

If the money is there, employ maids or caretakers and make sure they are monitored. Why dump the responsibility on your spouse? No matter the gender.

That’s the point of having money, to buy back your time especially for men. If you go broke, they will still blame you.

If the money is not available, in this particular case the responsibility should be shared among the siblings. Unless the wife willingly wants to help, She shouldn’t be forced. But same energy must be maintained if tables turn.

Maybe the wife doesn't have aged mother or the mother and father late

I wonder ooo. The man is a foooooolll. Them never born that wife wey go stop my sweet mama from visiting my house anytime she likes. Thunder go fire that wife first. My house is also my mama's house.
Re: Man Laments After His Wife Refused Him To Bring His Sick Mother To Their Home by stasius: 12:24pm On Aug 19, 2025
No problem.

But the woman should know that none of her family members will ever visit my house. I will never give that permission.

Again, any day her family members or parents fall sick she must not leave my house to go and carter for them without my permission otherwise she is going back to her house from there. I think that will balance the equation.

No issues!

In any case any day my wife entertains the thought of treating my mother bad that is the end of the marriage. She is going back to her father's house.

The end.

The wife should do to that woman what she wishes her daughter in-law to do to her too when she is old and sick.

What happened to the husband's sisters? If the man is not married, who will take care of the mum?

And to your comment, a reasonable man know that in situations like this, he needs 100% permission from his wife because who will be taking care of the mum? Is not the same wife? abeg try dey reason somethings well before you talk am out.
Let flip things...the wife mother is sick and need a surgery, the comes to home to ask her husband to assist then he reply isn't responsibility, she should meet her brothers, hope that also cool with you??

Things will change when corruption is curtailed in Nigeria. If our health system is OK and there are homes for elderly people, there won't be wahala. Families these days aren't like in the old. The woman is also busy. I am sure she wouldn't object if the man would take full responsibility either by taking care of her personally or employing someone to do so. But the wife knows he is very likely to put the burden on her (dump the woman on her). If I was her, I would certainly object to it also.
