You cannot:
โWork full time, raise children, keep a spotless home, show up fully in your marriage, maintain friendships, stay fit, build wealth, read books, pursue hobbies, serve only home cooked meals, answer every email, and still make the 3:30 school pickup.
โThat standard was created to keep you exhausted and blaming yourself. Let it go.
@Temmy_omoileri The thing get as e be come be as e get. All in all women are the weaker sex the only way you can protect yourself as a woman is to be financially independent to the point that you can afford the kind of life you want to live. If not you just have to take what you see.
@Kryptotajeer@ChuksEricE LOL, He said easy and balanced. If you like as a woman listen to advice of men on how to live your life,suffer go just dey wait for you. If you want an easy and balanced life,make your own money and be independent. After you have this, you can decide to submit or be equal partner
So many married people have emotionally immature parents.
Parents who do not understand what it means to allow their children to have a life outside of them
They must call their son or daughter every day without fail.
When their son or daughter gets married, they must find a way to blackmail the spouse into feeding their insecurities shamelessly
They won't allow their adult child to live like an adult. They must monitor, poke their noses everywhere, and stamp their opinions on every action their child takes.
Imagine a mother who says her son must marry into her three-bedroom flat
Or parents who insist their children must marry into the family house
So many ladies would come to me crying that their husbands married them into the family house, and they could not have their privacy as a couple as a result of this.
It is natural for children to grow up and leave the nest, but in some parents' reality, they must carry the nest and follow their children around with it as if they are tortoises or snails
What is a married woman doing on the phone with her father or mother for an hour every day?
What is a married man doing on the phone with his father or mother for an hour every day?
Mummy is checking in
Daddy is checking in
I got a case last November.
The marriage has been on for ten years, and the son-in-law was doing very well financially for nine years. As soon as he got into a bit of financial trouble, the wife's parent swooped in and took their daughter and the children away
They told him he can have her back when he gets on his feet.
A challenge that the couple ought to face together and bond over, while the parents would observe them from afar and pray for them
The worst ones are the ones who make themselves the center of attention in their children's marriages
Tell your husband to call me
Your husband has not called me since yesterday
Is your husband avoiding me?
Why has your husband not called me?
Your husband is rude and disrespectful. I have been waiting on his call for over a week...
They complain and complain until their daughter makes a fight out of the issue with her husband
Imagine your son and daughter-in-law fighting over the parent of either of them's cravings for attention and relevance.
In many cases, the son or daughter travels abroad to get rid of the excesses of his or her parents
Imagine your daughter having a baby and sharing the good news with you, and instead of congratulating her, you take offence that she did not inform you when she was pregnant
You then call your daughter's husband and threaten him that since he and your daughter have labelled you a witch by not carrying you along, you will prove to them that you are a witch indeed.
Husband and wife started running helter-skelter for prayers of protection against witchcraft.
In another case, the mother of the wife called the mother of the husband and accused her of monopolizing the attention and affection of his daughter.
I have seen mothers who demand that their children must place them on a monthly salary, and when the salary is late, the phones of both the child and his or her spouse would experience no rest
Most poor people's only hope for their old age is their children.
They hold on to them emotionally like a blind man to his walking stick
All the "love" they claim they have for keeping in touch with their children is really about meeting their selfish needs.
When parents are financially independent, they have better things to do with their time than shadowing their children and bugging their children's spouses with a cry for affection and attention.
Let the branches of your tree grow outwards so that it can bear fruits

@DavidHundeyin The funny thing is they believe they are wise and always demand respect they haven't earned. They've supported and still support every bad leader we've had or have. Once you see one bad thing happening in Nigeria an Older Nigerian is behind it.
