Yaaaay!...Omugwo Chronicles has an entry!
when i was 6 months pregnant, my hubby traveled out for further studies. me nau, being an orphan, after delivering, i went the next day to my mil's house for omugwo. as a 'big' woman that she is, she wouldn't stoop low as to visit me for omugwo. but in all she tried, she couldnt bathe my baby, but she employed able hands to do that.
When they bathe baby eh, she will sleep for hours, but me, who knows me, i bathed myself, never experienced those hot water bath, i drove myself to the hospital for delivering and drove myself back after delivering same day. i pampered myself with the hot water. it hurts when i hear my friends sharing how they felt pains when their mums bathed them, abi is it the pepper soup they took after given birth? or is it the sleeping at night while their mums took care of their babies? i never experienced any. i pray that God keeps me alive to do proper omugwo for my children. amen.
My mil could be very difficult but generous. but her grown up children who behaved very childishly are a set of wicked and bad belle people. i know i'm contradicting myself but i cant live with the kind of mil i have, she's so troublesome, quarrels with everybody around, insults anybody be you who. i cant stand it since i wasnt brought up in a harsh environment. i stayed there for 2 weeks 3 days cos of the omugwo. i really thank her for the elaborate naming she did despite her wicked children's evil advise not to do it.
My mil is recognized by the fed. govt. so she has money, whenever she wanted to give me money, na so those her wicked children would prevent her and she easily listens to them. naming nko, they did everything to stop her from doing it, but she refused. when i say children, the least among them is 41 years old. they are married but are always in their mother's house like monitoring spirits.
whenever those wicked children of hers are around, i didnt feel comfortable. i always locked myself and my kids in my room. because anything one does in that house, they'll criticize you. na so i take thanked mil and ran o.
i continued my omugwo myself, no help, my family members are in another state, they couldnt stay when they visited, you know when na wicked people full ground.
My baby would be 3 in few months time.
*Hian!...This looks more like a Chronicle...I hate stories of wicked MIL's with a passion.

ReplyDeleteIt's well madam..
DeleteSo Tonto Dikeh finally unveiled her son's face,little wonder she apologised to Mercy to have a soft landing!
ReplyDeleteLagos babe you are to funny, are you implying that the baby is ugly?
DeleteThe lord is your strength poster....nurse your child well the lord will see you through and soon hubby will be back to assist you okay
ReplyDeletehmmmmmmm. Thank God for safe delivery and everything He did for you.
ReplyDeleteGo and get a job to do. Stop being a full time housewife so that next time you can take care of omugwo and other things. Dont like women staying idle at home. Look for a good business to do, wetin hubby dey do self?.
So FGN recognise your MIL.... Na wa oooo.
I think say our women no want to born again. Thank God the segment is back, abi na recession?
I am sorry to say but this advice of yours is uncalled for. The lady in question never mentioned being idle or In need so I don't understand where this your " get something doing " comes in.When you have nothing reasonable to say please keep quiet.
Delete@anon I tire o! Maybe she doesn't know the meaning of omugwo.
DeleteAwwww so sad. How would you be driving yourself in and out of the hospital. Not safe. Not to talk of the nasty in laws sef. Pele
ReplyDeleteThis is far from an Omugwo,this is a chronicle of a rich but wicked MIL with plenty wicked children.
ReplyDeleteThe way you described your Hubby's sisters eh, take things easy with them & try to be friends with them.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless Everyone.
Hmmm only you be good person and the rest wicked? No atom of goodness in them? Hahahahahahahahaa! May our DILS not tag us wicked too when our time comes.
ReplyDeleteNa wa .. some Mil too do!
ReplyDeletemadam may God help you to resist those wicked old children amen
ReplyDeleteDid you marry into the family because of your MILs money? Because that seems to be the only problem you have with her children.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly. The only problem she has with the inlaws is money wahala
DeleteHian!...
ReplyDeleteNext time,employ those nannies that do Omugwo for people for a fee!..
Dem full Lagos!,,,
They will bath your baby,cook your meals and even help you with the hot water bath if you want!...
Things are changing my dear..no time for nonsense!!...
Spot on.
DeleteMy neighbour hired on of those people for her omugwu. Peace of mind is non negotiable
Well poster...don't feel bad.My mother is alive and well,yet she didn't do omugwo for me. It's has just been me and hubby from baby one to baby number three. My mother inlaw has been abit helpful. But then...I can't crucify her. I'm so happy I had little or no help,because I never knew I had so much strength and courage till I experienced being on my own when I needed help most. It is well
ReplyDeleteNa wa for this omugwo chronicle
ReplyDeleteJUst be grateful always
ReplyDeleteEyaah,sorry.why didn't she tell the people she employed to bath the baby,to also bath and take care of you?it is wah for her o.her children are wicked
ReplyDeleteSo you insulted an anon who said she cannot marry a baby daddy bcos she does not want the drama associated with the Kids? And you called her all sorts of Names? You really sounded retarded and stupid, you know? Any sensible and smart person will know that feelings are neither wrong nor right. Meaning you cannot control how you feel but how you act.
DeleteSHUTUP@fake woman,birds of same feather.go hug a transformer or better still a mad man,mkpii.
DeleteYour a strong lady... Very strong.
ReplyDeleteDrove yourself to and fro "I rise hand for you"
Thank God for you
ReplyDeleteIngrate
ReplyDeleteMadam na wa o.
ReplyDeleteYou really need to change ur attitude towards your in-laws o. See the way you kept calling your husbands sibling 'wicked children'. Like 10times throughout your chronicles because this aint omugwu chronicles.
The way you are calling ur mother in-law and others wicked, it must reflect in how you also treat them. Have you heard the term 'kill them with kindness'.
If you love your husband as u shld, do u know u also have to love all his family.
I know some in-laws can be wicked and one kind, iv experienced it myself, they can bag-bite, talk about you, criticise and say all sorts. That shdnt stop you from performing ur wifely duties instead of locking you and ur kids in d room.
do eye-service with them, and u can vent abt them to ur ppl.
The way u are carryn on isn't good. Your mother in-law or no1 owes nothing to you. Na you born ur pikin urself. She has given u capable hands to care for u and u are still complaining. What if she doesn't even know how to bathe newborns again.
Just appreciate wat u have, a good husband and healthy baby and suck it up, you are not a child.
You this woman sef,everyone in your husbands family is wicked. Your MIL wicked, sister inlaw, brother in-law all wicked.
ReplyDeletewhy did you too marry into a wicked family. Mary Magdalene that you is.
you are an ingrate sorry to say.
perhaps if u were friendly to them they wld have driven you to clinic.
Just keep being nice dear. And I hope your husband isn't a 'mummy's boy' as some people will say, cuz that might be difficult.
ReplyDeleteNa WA Ohh...this your MIl ehhh and her kids..... God have mercy.
ReplyDeleteMadam work on yourself too.. there may be something you're also doing wrong
ReplyDeletei hope say no be my sister inlaw chronicle be dis o cos d stories r similar but na d sibling age range different.it is well dear.i went thru worse n i actually shared my chronicle here over a year ago.now i am stronger n better.the lord will see u thru ijn amen.
ReplyDeleteits well
