Omugwo Chronicles -18

 Hmm really interesting!!!.

THIS ONE NA RE-OMUGWO STORY...INTERESTING!

Holla Stella and my beloved BVs.
           I am sooo addicted to your blog Stella, keep it going. Ehen before I start, bia, ndi oxford scholars ignore my F-ups, no be everybody dey educated like una. Lol. This isn't an actual omugwo story, (I am a lazy person wen it comes to typing and my omugwo experience is kinda long) will try and send my omugwo gist in one day.       
             My MIL developed problems with her eyes so they had to do a quick surgery on both eyes. I had two kids then and de youngest was 5months old. MIL has no female child and my hubby was her only married son then, so I volunteered that she came over to our house so that she gets proper care. The surgery was carried out , she became temporary blind and doctors said she would start seeing from one week later. 

Can you believe that MIL started seeing at 2 days later but was pretending even to her own son becos she wanted to be seeing if I would be making faces (like yimu) at her? Thank God say I been don change before that time (I was v.good at making faces, lol) so as God will have it, i noticed she was seeing and asked her and she said yes, I don dey see for days now! Hmmm, I was shocked.

            One sunday as i was preparing to go to church, (hubby and I attend separate churches and we agreed about it before we did our wedding) I went into her room to keep breakfast for her, then she asked which church I was attending that day, (and not that she didn't know oo) and I told her, she 'sparked', that I want to bring separation into her family. I just said" mummy pls I am late" and left,  went to knock on de toilet door to tel my Hubby i was leaving. She came out from her room and was warning me, pointing her index finger at me like I was a small child, saying "if you go to that church today I won't forgive u." I just called my hubby into our room and made him understand that his mother cannot force me to switch to their church and left.

              After church service, I came back home, went into de kitchen to see Dat MIL had turned my food into the waste bin and washed my flask! She called her husband and asked him to bring food from their own house for her(she ate the food and left their flask in the sitting room so I could see it).

 I was mad, but I kept my cool. Little did I know that she had called all her sons and informed them dat I slammed the door on her wen she was speaking to me that morning. I kept on receiving calls as soon as I returned. Thank God my hubby was home wen everything happened, so he kept on explaining. 

When my hubby approached her about the matter, she "changed mouth" and said I walked out on her. Hubby kept begging me to endure since she will soon leave.
             She got better and left after a month, though we had a good relationship but I learnt to be avoiding her. She kept telling her other sons that I wasn't a good person, etc. I didn't care bcos she never liked me, her reason being that I am from Delta (they are Igbos) and that Delta pple to open eyes, lol.
               Anyway, long story short, one of my BILs recently got married to another Delta girl so we all had to travel to lagos for the wedding. My FIL and DIL traveled first and unknown to me de new wife had shown them some attitude problems, babe just takes her bath and sleeps, she doesn't cook or clean up the house(she wasn't pregnant o). MIL cooks and gives to her sef, lol. As we reach Lagos, come see as my MIL start dey appreciate me, she start to pamper me, buying me gifts, praising me, calling me a good wife, her wife, etc. She go even wan carry the other wife gossip come, I go dodge. 

And yes till today we are still very close. She calls me almost everyday to ask how me and my kids are doing and hubby is now jealous. Lesson learnt; don't complain continuously about what you have at hand until you have tried several others.
             I know you guys must be tired and bored by now. Don't blame me, blame SDK, she said Omugwo folder is empty! Lol.
