Maybe we were doves or pigeons before these same people you're taking sides with turned us into tigers.

I got pregnant in the first year of my marriage. There were complications and I got to heaven's gate before God sent me back. I spent the next 3 months doing surgeries Of course I lost the pregnancy but I lived. They never showed up in the hospital or the house after I was discharged. I wasn't even peeved, probably they were busy or I was too insignificant to matter. Case closed I thought.
The first time this man, the boy's father, would pick his phone to talk to me after the incident, he had the temerity to ask me what I did to the pregnancy. Damn! Did I suck my baby up or did I bring the complications upon myself? Now, I was peeved by that statement. I couldn't even tell my husband or my mum what he said. They'd both scatter the table. I was to try for years afterwards to get pregnant again.

Yes, all that was in the past. The people haven't changed. The boy is into gangsterism don't forget and he is still his father's son. So please, tell me one reason why I should jump up and shout Hallelujah just because he's asked to come stay with me.

Be able to discern your Judas from your Peter. Peter had a bad day, Judas had a bad heart. Peter, you restore, Judas, you release. You got to know who to restore and who to release.
I know who I can live with and who I cannot. Don't judge people until you have walked in their shoes. Thank you.

@ Uyailncomparabl thank you for not breaking the sister code.

Excellent response. I doubt dingbat can have a comeback for this.

I like you already and your comment about the sister code just busted my head.

However, I usually break that code when confronted with foolish women/sisters.

I love you too darling. As for foolish sisters, I support you.

@ bold, see quotes of the day with permission to borrow.

Interesting story by the way.

Which one is sister's code again?

bukatyne, see me in camera, I'll tell you about sister's code

I like this.

At the risk of being nosy, how did it pan out with your nephew? How old was he?

My nephew-in-law you mean? He's in his early 20s, 24/25 dunno exactly. He stayed put in his dad's house, that was what happened and he didn't die. Nosy you!

Not all blood are kin and you’ve done the absolute best to only allow those that mean well in your circle and not succumb to emotional blackmail.

Nigerians should jettison the “blood is thicker than water” ethos it isn’t always true.

I believe you can always ask "google".

That's not fair...
Are/were you on to her?

I tell people who care to listen that the people who love us the most, won't always be family.

If you have good/decent people as family by all means celebrate and enjoy them, if not.......... you're on a very long thing.

Family is everything & blood is thicker than water, are over-used and abused concepts that amuse me to no end.

My dear, we’ve been raised to believe blood is always right. Most Nigerians are crippled with the emotional blackmail of ‘family’

Once the DNA has been re-arranged and people are born, everyman for himself, that’s a FACT.
