She just had her second baby.
Her mother was supposed to come for omugwo but she went for her sister who recently put to birth for her first child, so she wanted her elder sister to come instead. Her husband insisted his mother will come.
The mother-in-law arrived a few days before delivery, and since the baby was born, this woman has been waking up around 5:30 every morning to boil hot water for her mother-in-law’s bath. After that, she goes back to rest briefly, then wakes up again to prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
She’s the one recovering from childbirth.
She’s the one breastfeeding.
She’s the one waking up at night with a newborn.
Yet she’s still the one cooking.
According to her, the mother-in-law doesn’t cook, doesn’t wash baby clothes, doesn’t bathe the baby, and doesn’t do house chores. She mainly carries the baby for a while and returns the baby when it’s time to breastfeed.
After just one week, the new mother told her husband she was exhausted and not getting enough rest.
But the husband is finding it difficult to tell mama to go without completing the omugwo.
If the woman who just put to bed is still the one taking care of everyone else, then who exactly is doing omugwo for whom?
What would you do if you were in her shoes?
Someone proposed to me, ring and all. I said yes but I wasn’t really sure and didn’t know how to say no, so I stalled telling my family for a formal introduction to be made.
He kept asking and I kept stalling.
3 months later, he uploaded prewedding photos on his WhatsApp status.
I didn’t argue or anything, just sent him a congratulatory message and he replied with a “thank you”.
I sold the ring (it was pure gold about 3.5grams when the stones were removed), went on a vacation with my girls, and moved on with life.
🗞️ frightening scenes at a #ZhangLinghe brand event after crowds of fans rushed forward, reportedly breaking through glass doors at the mall
many cnetz are questioning why stronger crowd management measures were not put in place by organisers given how quickly these situations can become dangerous 😠
@yetunede Did this after watching "Welcome to Wakiki" and "Modern farmer". 1 was in prison, one had a brutal accident that ruined his life. Now, I try not to.
