She is actually confused and asked other families on Social media if it’s right for a mother In Law to rush and take over the front seat when the whole family is going out. She went as far as undressing to express her disapproval of mama’s behaviour. However, when hubby saw that his wife had changed her mind about the trip, he too undressed, fun trip cancelled!.
Well, for me I think that this mother In law issues will always be there. If you are married to an enlightened family. You won’t experience these problems and may not be able to connect with the wife’s behavior. You see, mother In Laws form the village. When they come to visit, you the wife, just prepare yourself… brace for impact and then relax.
When old women come from the village to visit their sons in the cities. They can’t understand why they suffered so much in their marriages and you are here freely enjoying their son’s attention and wealth ‘without pain’
The mama may have had co-wives and only had the chance of seeing or spending time with her husband on certain days and here you are having her son all to yourself.
Some mothers In Law from the village do rush to the matrimonial bed at nights sef but thank God for some macho men husbands that have the liver to call their mothers and say “Mama, I’m a married man now. This bed is for me and my wife. Go to your room and sleep. We see tomorrow. Good night’
Some Nigerian men have done that and are still doing it. Some know how to make their wives look bad before their families, so, they climb and lie down there on the bed with their mums pretending like it’s ok so that madam will come and be the one to react and be hated by Oga’s family.
Sha, thank God for smart wives like some of us, we will just leave the bedroom for you and mama and see if you’ll be able to sleep at all. Nansense!
Anyways, in the case of the matter at hand, me think that madam shouldn’t have acted that way at all. The old woman has just come from the village and will soon be going back. What is so special about a front seat in the first place?
In my house, I can’t remember the year I sat in front when the whole family is going out.
- I don’t enjoy sitting in front because my husband is James Bond when it comes to driving.
- My teen girls like to play with the car radio changing from one radio station to the other in search of their favourite songs and I just let them enjoy by comfortably balancing at the back seat of the car with my phone.
Changing your outfit because your husband’s mother sat in the front seat is not good oh. If she was your mother will you do that? There will be less of these kinds of issues if married couples learn to treat their parents In Law as their biological parents.
The old woman is coming from the village please. She doesn’t know all these courtesies and shouldn’t be bothered. Let her enjoy her stay I beg you. It’s not easy coping with In Laws from the village but it’s possible if we put in an effort and not treat them like intruders.
The outing is even meant for her to be surprised, so, why not surprise her by just letting her sit beside her son for once before she leaves. Do you know if she will still be alive by the time you want her to visit again?
You have spoilt her stay and she won’t enjoy nothing anymore. Just forget it. That woman may never visit your family again and will you like it when your mother comes but mother In Law refuses to visit?
You nor do well at all!
