Have you never met the inlaws before?

Im Igbo, DH is yoruba. One of the first times I met his aunties I hugged them The talk that followed eh you would think I slapped someborry. My DH sha gave them a stern warning to always remember our tribal differences. Since then my dear, I kneel (first then hug) to greet everyone even my own people so I dont make mistake.
So my own list,
-Always kneel down to greet.
-If you sabi the language, you are lucky. I understand but I dont speak..well except for greetings.
Make sure you always greet..Eku joko, Eku ile, Eku dide, Eku iyagbe
-I don't know if the igbos do this as well, but when you go visiting always offer to help in the kitchen. Do igbos do this Personally my kitchen is my private space, I usually dont like other people being in it so I find it awkward going into people's kitchens. But I have learnt to always offer to help.

Lol.... Eku iyagbe ... DH warned me neva to allow anybody to enter the kitchen not to talk of helping with his meal except me, so whenever his sisters or brother's wife comes visiting I always tell them to relax and enjoy themselves even if i'm not in the mood. I find it awkward entering people's kitchen as well.

Sorry dear, May God replace all you lost to the devils in double. May you never experience such again

Nwanne m nwanyi welcome o, I be Igbo married to Yoruba too, so I can give you few tips.


9.Commit every thing to Gods hands.
10. Go bearing gifts o ;. Jewellery and Lace for Mama Wa, Expensive stationary for Baba Wa

I agree with All your suggestions except this one ooooo....Please buy gifts for MIL/FIL when you can afford ooo and not because you want to buy their love and affection ooo. Buy just like you will buy for your parents ooo. You dont buy real love with gifts. That was how my cousin's fiancee was busy buying and making beads. ...costly ones for fiancee mother in law even before marriage and early months of marriage. The woman go form love for her like tomorow no dey. After marriage, she no too get money again to keep up with what she started, MIL attitude changed tooo....till today, we use it to laugh at her.

BellaElla sorry for your loss.

Me too I don't agree with the buying stuff especially when you cannot afford it.
Infact my own mom would always complain when you buy stuff for her. She would say she hasn't worn the ones you bought and you are buying more. Kai, i miss that woman

luscioustrish since you are pregnant, don't overdo anything oooooo. If you no get strength to cook pls tell your Dh.

PrincessKF torr, i tot I was the only one o. I don't like people being in my kitchen so im always uncomfortable in other people's kitchens.

BellaElla:


Nwanne m nwanyi welcome o, I be Igbo married to Yoruba too, so I can give you few tips.

1. Make sure you kneel down with both legs touching the floor when you meet your MIL/FIL: for the first time. even if una dey for middle of road, . that is the first test, you know say dem they always talk say we no get respect. prove them wrong o.
2. offer to carry any load they have, if they come around. relieve your MIL of her handbag with face full of smiles o.
3. DO NOT REJECT ANY FOOD! make sure you chop finish lick plate, don't wait for MIL for serve you, do like say u dey follow am enter kitchen, if she allows you fine, if not insist on packing on washing plates.
4. make sure you call all your SIL/BIL Anti mi /Boda mi. whether them senior you or not.
5. don't go and be doing touching body with their son in their presence o . pretend you have not kissed, even with your protruding belle.)
6. don't be pressing phone when you people are talking, always keep a smile on your face, curtsy whenever you are thanking your MIL/FIL
7. don't be deceived by the plenty Iyawo wa they are calling you o, until una marry, you are not the wife yet o, stay humble.
8.Tell ur fiancé to tell you about them, what they like, dislike, learn how to greet them in their language, they value it a lot.
9.Commit every thing to Gods hands.
10. Go bearing gifts o ;. Jewellery and Lace for Mama Wa, Expensive stationary for Baba Wa

@BellaBella, may God replace all you av lost. So happy they didn't harm you nor dh.


@Sugar, that eku iyagbe got me rolling. So many ekus in Yoruba land... Eku gbadu, uku joko, Eku fasting, Eku receive call..... But I love their greetings sha.

Welcome to our new mama from ttc. We shall all carry to term.

BellaElla:
Mamas we were robbed o! I am just getting over the shock sef, we woke up to see all our windows open. they used long sticks & parker to scoop up our phones and laptops from outside , they even stole my hubbys wallet from his trousers.
please if you live downstairs or in a bungalow, do not keep your valuables or handbags close to the windows, keep them in your wardrobes instead.
To think that me and dh sleep stark naked, who knows if these thieves live around us. I dunno if they used jazz cos my phone was just beside dh and they scooped it without us waking up. God protect your children o.
I am grateful to God I didn't see them, cos I wake up a lot at night to pee, who know? I might have fainted at the sight of them in action, or they might have harmed us. help us thank God o, that they didn't break in and attack us physically, or demand for more items.
I know that God would divinely replace all we lost in Jesus name. Amen.

I had a similar experience some years ago...

I was having a nightmare that thieves were attacking us and I suddenly woke up out of fear... I was the only one in the room and it was stark dark... I got up immediately and put on the light cos I was afraid...

As the light went on like this, I saw the frame of a huge guy with a long stick (and nails on it)... Infact, his hands and the stick were in the room... He had scattered everywhere (me wey dey always form 'at alert' wen am sleeping)... He had removed the net and everything, it was the burglary that prevented him frm entering...

I put off the light immediately and screamed ehn... Na all my neighbours come out that night o... Na so the thief take run and dropped his 'instruments' in my room...

May God continue to protect us from the evil ones... #Amen

Lol @ eku receive call...

LadyMessi:
