Chronicle Of Blog Visitor Narrative.

*Thinking deeply*




STAND ALONE NARRATIVE
RUNS FRIEND ABOUT TO BECOME DAUGHTER'S MOTHER IN LAW

Stella, please permit me to run this chronicle past your BV’s whom I find are mostly youths. Perhaps I can find some answers or advice here. I read your blog every now and then. It helps me to know the workings of the minds of the youths of today. This is my chronicle:-


I had a friend in school through secondary and University days in the East. We became very friendly as undergrads. She was very funny, jovial but was badT. She did everything bad-from sleeping with lecturers for marks, to dating married men, several abortions-she was a party freak. 

My mum never liked her, warned me several times and people used to wonder how both of us could be friends. I was the quiet, good girl, study always type. But she used to say that if she wanted to hear the truth, she knew she could always turn to me and that having me as her friend was the best thing she could have. Anyway we graduated. And went our separate ways. 


Fast forward to some odd twenty five plus years later, I bumped into her at a Mall in Georgia, U.S.A. We both screamed and hugged ourselves. My daughter was with me on that day-due to soon start her Masters’ degree at a University in Georgia. My friend and I caught up on lost times. She told me she had 3 sons. All living in the U.S. She also lived there though she came to Nigeria once in a while. 


I told her this was my only daughter-She spoke with my daughter for a while, noting that I had such a beautiful, fashionable daughter, teasing her that her mother was a plain Jane in school.  We laughed and chatted for a long time, just generally asking about who’s where and what’s going on in Nigeria. We parted, promising to keep in touch. I came back to Nigeria. 


A few months later, my daughter calls me and shyly on the phone asks me about my friend and if I had heard from her? I said no. Long story short, I found out my friend had one day called my daughter up and somehow got her introduced to her first son. From there, one thing led to another. Now my daughter seems to have fallen in love with her son and wants to marry him. I wasn’t (am not) happy about this. I never imagined that my daughter would end up with someone like this my friend as a mother-in-law. Not only did I know her dark dirty secrets from school days, I know she doesn’t really have much regard for the values of marriage. 



How would she keep them both together when the storms of marriage begin? I wasn’t really surprised when I learnt from my daughter that her 3 sons were for 3 different men! Back then in school days, she was staying with her aunt and was arranging girls for her aunts’ husband behind her aunts’ back for monetary gains. These were all the things I would speak sharply to her about as a friend. To now think she would end up as my only daughters’ mother-in-law. I couldn’t stomach it. I felt she took advantage of our meeting and deliberately threw my daughter in the line of meeting her son- mischievous things she was quite capable of doing. I didn’t like it one bit. 


I don’t think she would even see anything wrong in her son having extra marital affairs. But I couldn’t tell my daughter all this info. Instead, I tried hard to discourage my daughter but the more I tried, the more stubborn my daughter became. 


The son came down to Nigeria to plead with my husband and I to allow him marry our daughter. He couldn’t understand our disposition. He and my daughter have concluded that I couldn’t have been a true friend to his mother- that I was only pretending to be. He is hurt. So is my daughter. Things have gone very cold between my friend and I since she sensed that I wasn’t favourably disposed to her son marrying my daughter.


  I don’t want my daughter to end up in her family. I know my friend very well.  In spite of her being friendly, she also has a very troublesome, overbearing nature. Eventually she’ll become a monster-in-law. I see it happening. Stella’s BV’s, am I wrong? Am I being judgemental? I can’t ever tell my daughter – (by proxy, her boyfriend)- all what I know. I ran background checks on the guy and he seems to be a good person- tall, good build, very comfortable ( I could see why my daughter fell for him), but a little bit timid-and overly respectful.


 Which makes me fear that he may not be able to handle his mum’s excesses.   My info sources told me there were paternity and trust issues which made his father quit the scene ever since he was young. So there’s not likely to be a father-in law presence. 


I don’t want my daughter with his mother. How do I even relate to her as an in- law knowing all the things she did back then? I can’t even trust her and she doesn’t seem to have changed very much. How will my daughter cope with this kind of mother-in law?? I’m just so perplexed at this point.



*Find out if your daughter is already sleeping with him.
Find out if she is pregnant.
Find out all you need to know and then if it still reads red,then do everything possible to end it.
Your former friend might be bad but looking to settle her sons with good girls and she jumped at the opportunity seeing your daughter.Its possible that you are using her past to Judge her....but like i said,do your checks and end what needs to be ended abeg!

You left it too late and at this point your daughter will not believe whatever you tell her anymore.

  1. She might not want her kids to tow her kind of life, she might be the best mil ever. Old things have passed away so to say. Let love make a way for this kids. As for father figure, that's a small thing, even kids in orphanage have father figures, more importantly pray, if it is the will of God for this two, nothing can stop them, not even you. It is well

    1. Madam if someone knew everything you didn't know about your mother are you sure your husband would have married you?
      Stop judging the boy by his mother,tell your daughter the truth so that she will be more cautious and observant but don't refuse them the chance to get married
      Let your daughter live her life with her own choices

    3. I understand your fears poster, bvs stop blaming the poster, if you were in her shoes you all will as well want to give a rethink of the proposal. But what I will advice you, give the son a trier, after all your frnd been the Mil to be wouldn't be living with them, who knows this kind of a home might be the best ever because she wouldn't want her son to trade the parts she has taken in the past that is why she choose your daughter for the son knowing you are responsible and knowing you must have brought up your daughter properly so please don't disrespect what she is got for you. The only side I see she is wrong was when she introduced them, she would have contacted you first. Probably she knew you wouldn't give consent to it so please stay clam and give them a try and let God have his way if it's his will. God bless

    5. I think you're being overly judgmental. Telling your daughter won't change anything, however,do not keep her in the dark. I understand your fear but you have to understand your daughter is in laaarrv.☺

    6. Nice one @ white berry, same tort here. Madamè, have a talk with her son, you never know. Focus on your daughter, let her be more knowledgeable on things about marriage, how to cope with the ups & down etc. You might write-off the Mother, but please don't write off the Son. Since your daughters mind is made up, if she doesn't find love in another man if you finally dissolves this, she will hate you for life.

    7. When I was in schn I had this Alhaja frnd dat just likes me naturally. She wasn't my type coz I be jaiye-jaiye, she will advice me severally to be less outgoing but all na lie. Well, after sch, we've lost contact and here I am married and do things differently now. Infact to stay out after 7pm na war for me now, I am now so reserved that pple wonder wher the outgoing me is. I want better for my kids so my lifestyle changed. Now imagine if my Alhaja frnd is to see me in future and still decide to judge me with my past, pple change, she's now a mother and trust me she kns beta now. U myt be suurprised.

    1. Madam all these people advising have very terrible past,you cannot ask a art to watch over you fish, what you are doing is right,family background is very important and that family lacks it,pls know that the voice of the devil may be the loudest but may not be right,a lo of people are advising you to let your kid be but bear in mind that only your family will suffer the consequences of the result of the union.Tell your daughter about the woman's past,if she insist don't attend the wedding,that woman's kid or grandkids will take that trait,can people advising you want their kids to end up with Anini's child? I rest my case.

    1. You speak well angelray,poster how can you call someone your friend yet resent her this much.i don't like the way you paint your friend all sorts of bad, so what if she had her 3boys for different men,she didn't create herself,and she won't force a man that decided to leave her after giving birth,she's got well behaved and successful sons,that shows she's a good mother. I really hate the way you judged your friend,you are a bad Friend.biko carry your daughter go let's see if she will end up with a better man or a better mother inlaw.

    3. Angelray, do you know the saying, "what an old man sees sitting down, even if a young man climbs an iroko tree, he will not see it". For you to get married by God's standards, you need the approval of God and you parents in the presence of witnesses and men of God. The poster obviously likes her friend but she is seeing beyond the surface. I personally think that the poster may have a point. However, no one chooses a spouse for their kids again. Poster, just tell your daughter what you think. Advice her neutrally. Tell her the truth and what you feel but make her know that whatever her choice is, is entirely up to her and whatever the outcome of this union is as a result of her decision. Finally let her know that as much as you don't like the idea, you will love and support her.

    3. Did you even read and comprehend the story at all?? Did she say its because her friend does not have a husband??? As far as I'm concerned she's not judging the woman, she's only protecting the interest of her daughter. And if the so called friend has actually changed, she won't go being the posters back and set her daughter with her son. We all know that when families want their children to marry each other they sit down and talk first. Its either the father's agree or the mother's agree then the process of match making starts. The poster has every right to be suspicious. Her friend may not have good intentions. Please be very sure before your daughter enters that family.

Let's say you have female children and you are in a dilemma and your younger coussin insults you. Well I don't blame you. From your comments on this blog, you are an agbaya and a former runsgirl that's why you can easily dismiss the poster's fears.

    12. You are very stupid. Yes you are. The poster is not even your age mate. You should be in age bracket with her daughter. Oloriburuku with no home training.

      Delete
    13. You are a disgrace to womanhood - how dare you insult an elder like that, how dare you? Because you were sired by drunken idiots gives you no right to be disrespectful to an obviously learned elder.
      Of course you will hate her; you are a stupid, lesbian, unfaithful and diabolic animal- and I doubt you still have a husband, that is why you are especially pained that the poster mentioned that her friend didn't have one. Loose animal- your type will literally rot physically on earth because of the filth you carry in every fibre of your being. Vulture.


      At poster; sorry about the insult ma. Like someone above mentioned, your fears are very valid and I will suggest you come clean to your daughter. Make her promise to not share what you tell her with another and reiterate the fact that she should keep her loyalty to her family by not going to spout everything to this young man. Explain your fears to her and then, leave her to make her decision and try to support.
      Personally, I think things are really bad now cos your friend now knows that you don't think her worthy to be an in law- and that is really hurtful, I have to say.
      It's such a tough situation to be in but I pray for wisdom for you.

      All the best poster.

    14. Linda uve lost it. U really should put a hold on it b4 u completely ruin ursef.


      Poster yes, ure a li2 judgemental but again when it comes 2 ur child especially when "only" is involved then i shouldnt expect less from u. Know this, its ur mother instinct thats talking now n most times it is 70% accurate. Ure worried cos u care but pls dont 4gt that when a woman is love she hears or believes nothing contrary 2 her emotions.


      My advice, allow nature play it out while u seek Gods help tru prayers. (Nor b only against side chick una go dey pray). Dont push it else u loose ur child 2 ur friend n her family. Be soft, tender n above all prayergul. Goodluck.

  5. As for me oo

    If he truly loves your daughter,respects her, respects your family and wants to do right by her. Plz give way for love

    You and your friend have lived your lives, allow your kids live theirs! Forget the past, it's very possible that at this her age, she has changed her ways!

    It's my opinion oh

    2. Hey Aunty Jennah send your wedding night brouhaha tomorrow o!! Don't fail.

      + I strongly disagree with your comment. Poster dont tell your daughter, cause she will never see reasons with you. Never. Love is blind dear.

      Let her marry her hearthrob. Dont transfer the sins of the father to the children abeg. You should learn to live in peace with your bad friend for your daughters sake. I agreee with what stella said too, she prolly wanna hook her son to a good girl like your daughter. The MIL shouldn't be a problem pls. Just make sure the boy in question isn't like his mother. Dass all.

      I love your chronicles. Quite touching.

      Morale lesson: don't be a runz girl with a good friend, and then hook ur son up to the good friends daughter in 25yrs time.

      Am I even making sense???

  7. Yes madam you are been judgemental. Allow your daughter be, you have lived your life let her live hers. Stop judging your friend with her past mistakes (no body holy pass). Besides your daughter is getting married to your friend's son and not your friend, so why are you worried? If you say the guy seems like a nice person then let them be.

  8. It takes d blood of two ppl to make a baby, d guy might be good from his dad side. So don't judge a son bc of a parent past. Judge him base on his present, he might be d best hubby for ur precious daughter. Just look beyond ur hatred for his mother's past.

  9. The question is has she changed ? Or are you judging her with her past? If you feel insecure then stop the marriage except you feel that the guy is not 100% under his mother's control...what's your husband's take on this? Have you prayed over it?

      Delete
  10. Now this is very deep, I understand your feelings but one thing I will let you know is, she might have been a changed woman. I think you need to sit your daughter down and try and discuss your fear with her, tell her some of her MIL's characters back in school, but don't go too deep about it. So after all these, if your daughter feel she can tolerate this, let her go in for.

Foundation is very important. If its faulty alota bad stuff will happen. Talking from experience. Poster you owe your daughter the truth. Don't hold anything back.
      If my people had told me real story of the man I'm married to ontime I won't be in the mess I'm in right now. It was after I entered I started seeing/hearing things. I feel so much for my children. We are currently separated. I saw/still seeing shege. Kai!

  12. Oh please!!!!!!!!! Madam holy! Your daughter has found love in a good young respectable mman in your words, leave them be!!!! Don't visit the sins of his mother on him. From your write up it seems you'll be the monster inlaw.she was arranging girls for her aunts husband because he was a DOG! What you should do is back them up with prayers. Madam goody two shoes, holy mother of Jesus. Don't tell them anything, keep that your mouth shut! What you should do instead is talk to your friend, afterall even with all her escapades you were still her friend meaning she has some good side. Leave the young couple be please don't be a clog in their wheel of happiness. Tongue click

Those bvs encouraging her to tell the kids about the woman's past, I pray someone tells your kids and children in-law about your dirty past. Poster the only monster in law I see here is you. Take your daughter away from this God sent husband and watch her marry a "horseband" with pastors as his parents. This post is just full of judgement. Leave judgement for God ooooooo!!!!!

If ur daughter is old enough to collect, and old enough to consider marriage, she's damn well old enough to know the whole truth....

If u cnt take that risk, then do everythg in ur power to halt that union, kill it in the crib.

Life is not all about getting married or having a husband. Love is not enough. Love cannot weather every storm. Sometimes, all it takes is being real and practical.

  14. MA there are always two sides to a coin. I understand that as a mother u want the best for ur daughter. But u really have to be careful hence u loose the bond u both have.

    D boy in question didn't sign up to be the child of a randy mother. He 'might' be a sensible and mature guy. Perhaps he wants a better life with ur daughter.

    What I can only advise u to do is to make serious findings about d boy not his mother. Ask people about him, if there's anything negative about him, Open up to ur daughter and if she doesn't see reason, allow her but seriously pray for her.

  18. Oh yes, you have absolutely every reason to worry. Past lifestyle can be overlooked, three kids from different men can be forgiven...But this sneaky move she pulled, going behind your back to get your decent daughter to probably even out the scandal of her life and family make-up is ugly.

    You should have opened up earlier to your daughter...told her about this friend of yours. If your friend was a sincere person, she would done the match-making stuff through you. But clearly, she is still very much a manipulative person who clearly lives on the edge, eating her cake and having it at the same time.

    Sadly, you have an emotionally clouded daughter...refraining from saying she's stupid that is. She clearly is not bright enough in the affairs of the heart to know that Love is not close to enough. You've lost the chance to get her realise that values matter and role-modelling influences the outcome of marriage....She is now defensive.

    You are not judgemental at all, you love and want the best for your daughter. You really need to explain everything to your hubby, tell about your misgivings, her lifestyle, her choices, her offsprings, her sneaky move. Let your husband know what you know. Two parents having misgivings will give her a pause if she has brain.

    Pray really hard for your daughter please. She needs to see beyond wedding and the prospect of having a husband soon, to realise that there is a bigger problem in how this relationship started and the influence around it. That repented runz girl story about making the best wife, best in-laws, we all know that shit is an over-recycled half-truth. Employ the heavens on her behalf.

    Then please, you need to get to know this dude personally. There is a danger about judging him with the same stick as his mother. You need to assess his value system and his understanding about marriage. Psychos have produced saints you know. Listen carefully, watch the non-verbal language and your instincts, do your underground investigation as well. Determine how much of a hold, his mother has on him... to avoid future pimping.

    Also, have a real talk with your daughter. One that doesn't have to be authoritative. Listen to her talk, one adult to another. Bare out your feelings without hostility. Emphasize your need for her best interest. You are her mother, say the right things....you need to break that wall of defense.

    Lastly, find peace within yourself. Your panic may be presenting as hostility and self-righteousness. Ask for grace to love your ex friend through the resentment you feel. Then please talk to her, let her know your disappointment and anger at her cheap manipulative game. The strain it has caused in your family and the need for her to place herself in your position. Do not make an enemy out of her pls, incase all fails and you wear same aso-ebi soon.
    I pray God helps you and your child through this.

  19. Firstly, it's obvious your friend is still into match making and your daughter is not the first girl she might have arranged for her sons. There's alil Grey area as to her virtues as a mom compared to her single virtues. She could have turned to a good mom and homely one at that (because her sons turned out to be quite decent as u specified) but and a very big but, she will be trouble down the line. First reason is: a honorable woman will respect you by asking you first before match making them at any point.
    Also when the tides were up due to ur disagreement, she would have tried calming you and making u see other reasons and her changed persona. But i doubt she care about those virtues anyways.
    Solution: i think u need to stop advising your daughter about breaking up but advise her about taming a man. Let her be close to u and share experiences. Also, teach her how to be in charge of her relationships cos she's an adult. What if u never knew the mom from Adam, would u have restrained?
    So be more of a friend to your daughter at this critical point of her life and warn her about condom use and all those personal stuff. Try to know her dates and they should stall on their marriage talks till she's done with her masters. Just justify your reasons for stalling so they don't see u as evil mom.
    And u need to call ur friend and talk about their union without prejudice. Be straight and no odd feeling while u discuss your reasons as to why they should stall till she's done with her masters and become independent. Because that's the only gift you can give her right now. Becoming an independent lady.

    Hope these work for you.
    Bless.

  20. Madam the truth of the matter is, IN Africa, 90 % of marriages are run by inlaws especially mother in laws... Except enlightened mothers. It's best for ur daughter to break off with her son. After all, if she no meet her son nko, she would have fallen for another guy. Its better to have a broken relationship than broken marriage filled with regrets. Open up and Speak to ur daughter. Marriage is a life time committment....

    I understand how you feel, just act fast if you don't want them together but be sure your daughter's going to prove difficult to convinced.

  22. Thats why i like my mum. She be my paddy, she tells me everything. Ma'am how is ur relationship with this daughter of urs, is she jst ur daughter or ur friend. You should be able to call her as a friend and speak to her her, tell her everything and explain to her everyyhing u knw abt this friend of urs n why u dnt think ur daughter shud be communicating with them like that. Tlk to her n im sure there must be sometin u cn do bt if finally she refuses stand by her and remind her she always got u no matter the outcome.
    P.s To those posters whose parent dont want u to marry one partner or the other, im sure she knws n is seeing someting ur not. No parent wouldnt want the best for their child.

  23. Madam poster pls, swear you had no youthful exuberance or never took an "I missed my period" pill. You are judging your friend whom I am sure also knows one or two secrets about you too. Your description of your self shows a sloppy miss-goody-two shoes who always thinks she is the only good girl in the lot. No doubt, your daughter could be like you, your friend knows this yet she honoured you and accepted your her for her son.
    Since you want our sincere opinion, I think you would be the one who would turn out to be a monster-in-law. Nothing your friend does would ever be good enough in your eyes and you'd always be ready to say I told you so to your daughter.
    You need to let go off your naivity and bless your daughter's intended marriage.

  25. Awww, this story is bitter-sweet. I felt 'somehow' after reading it. The things we mothers do for our children. Ma'am, I understand ur pain totally, and I want to say u are 100% right in having reservations about ur ex friend being ur in law. The only thing I gotta say is this: Pls pray for ur daughter, ask God to give u the wisdom to handle the issue, and tell God that if the marriage isn't meant to be, He shld scatter it in a peaceful way. There was this man who came for my hand in marriage those days, he was from a broken home and my mum didn't like him despite him being my states man. My mums argument was that it is rare for people from broken homes to keep a marriage. Oh boy come and see katakata in our house then. I told my mum I'll marry him like that cos he is handsome and comfortable. Then my mum went into prayer and dry fast. In fact she and my grand mum (her mum) did joint prayer and fast for me. One faithful day, I went to visit this my boo in his place at jabi without calling him (which was very much unlike me). On getting there na so I knock no answer, come notice say parlor door dey open, as I entered like this I started hearing "faster baby faster" 'don't stop pls'. Hian, I just went straight to the room, see my boo giving this chic chair doggy style. I stood there in shock cos this guy acts like he detested 2timing n cheating. When I came out of my shock, I just left, and that was the end of Solomon grandy. My mum asked me 2wks later about him n why he hadn't come to d house. When I told her we were done she just smiled.

  27. Madam,let your daughter be. Yes,na me talk am. I know a lot of folks will tell u to end the relationship but excuse me ma,your daughter is 25yrs not 12. So,allow her to make her decision in life. Moreover the devil u know is better than the angel u don't know. I've seen many people resent their parents bcos they felt they prevented them from whom they love and could have being happy with. What if your daughter leaves this guy and end up with a worst mother in law? What if she later resent you in life for depriving her of the nan she truly loves? What if she marries this guy and enjoyed a peaceful home thereby debunking all your evil assumptions?
    The devil u know is better than the angel u don't know, just tell your daughter to dine with the devil with a long spoon.

  29. Stella please i dont like your advice. First why should an innocent man lose the person he loves because of the sins of his mother way before he was born. Secondly,she was a friend of the accused when they were peers,and she didnt pick the attitude,so what makes her think it will rub off on her daughter. Thirdly she should come clean to her daughter with her reservations and let her make her decisions. Please she is an adult. If she ends it,the lady might never forgive the mum especially if her next rship or marriage gives her problem. I dont like the way stella painted the guy as if he is a plague.

  32. Madam do not allow your daughter marry from that family. That was an unacceptable thing to do, speaking with your daughter behind you. I see she's still in d matchmaking business, why his her son not in a relationship if he's decent? Lastly This woman doesn't look changed even u mentioned it, don't let her scatter your happy family in the long run,being inlaws with her is opening your life to her and even your husband. Before you know it i hope she doesn't sleep with your husband. That woman has no values,so I wonder what values she would have trained her son's with. Step brothers x step nephews and nieces. I guess you don't want that for your only daughter . Break it off at all cost

  35. This poster don born me ooooh!!! Mummy you don't have to look too far, you are a mother right? As a mother what does your instinct say? See sometimes we as children we tend to be very myopic and its unfortunate that at that point when we think we are in love we let our feeling becloud our sense of reasoning and judgemen,we feel we know what we want without even knowing what's ahead. Talk to her be open with her, let her know what she is getting into. If she decides to marry him then that's her cross to carry. She is an adult and by law she is responsible for the choices she makes. Don't push her into getting pregnant for him just to mock you ma. Being with him its her call to make not yours ma, so please as a mother don't come and die bcoz of pikin wey no dey hear word. Rather pray that your friends son will be a better husband to your daughter.

  37. Poster, you're saying all these because you knew the woman. What if your daughter lets go of this guy and marries someone whose mother has an even worse past but whose past you dont know because you were not friends? Would that be better for you? From your writeup, the guy sounds like a very decent guy. Coming all the way to Nigeria to ask for you and your husband's blessings. I think its very unfair to stop your daughter's happiness because of you and your friend's past. Leave your daughter be.

  39. Poster, i understand your fears. I will only advice you call your only daughter and narrate everything to her. If she still decides to continue with the relationship/marriage then; I'll also advice you give her your 100% support.

    No, you are not being judgemental at all; that child is your only daughter and you want the best for your child, but it also has to do with the 'heart', your old friend son might be the best for your child too.
    I will also advice you seek the face of God. Call your friend and ask her if she has changed from her rough ways, if she has accepted Christ into her life and living a Christ-like life?

    She might turn out to be the best mother in-law, people like your friend always try their best to save their children's marriage. They don't always want their children to live the kind of lifestyle they lived.

    Please, don't allow this issue to cause problem between you and your daughter, and don't forget, she live very far away from you and your husband. Since you have seen the boy and talked with him; while not give them a try?

    In whatever decision you guys take, i just hope you and your daughter relationship stays intact. I wish you the best.

  40. Well look at It this way , your fear tho well founded by just be due to your over active imaginations . A lot of runs girls are mothers and grandmothers . Majority of us don't even know the past of our mother in laws , but we treat them with respect and hope for the best

    It's very unfair to visit the sins of the mother upon the son , how would u feel if your daughter was meted out punishments meant for you? Since from your findings her son is level headed and a good man I don't see why you should oppose the marriage . After all she (a good for nothing as claimed by you) raised such a fine young man . Just advise ur daughter to keep mother in law interference to the minimum .

    Do not go into all your friend did as a youth , because that would make her disrespect her MIL and cause future problems in her marriage .. Just say you knew her back in school , and she has some not so virtuous characters , and that was why you opposed . But you hope time has changed all of that , and you advise her to be respectful but to keep her marriage between her and her husband

    The down side is , when problem arises , her MIL who is supposed to be the voice of reasoning might actually take her son's side and that might frustrate ur daughter - I know that's ur fear . But don't worry so much . Cross that bridge when you get there and pray for them .

    Your daughter might have ended up wth worse as a MIL

    I can keep all kinds of friends but I cant have friends who steal or who are into jazz!if your friend isnt into jazz,I dont see any reason why she isnt qualified to be your daughter's MIL.
    Am sure your friend went behind your back to connect your daughter to her son because she was afraid of your judgemental attitude. ..I guess she was right.

So pls don't push her away.

  46. I understand your reservations but I don't think you can or should judge the outcome of the prospective marriage based on the mother. What traits and attributes does the young man have? What values does he have? Is he an inherently good person? Look, I know of cases whereby am the family appeared so "good", the mother and father had stayed married for decades etc but guess what? Their children, majority of them ended up having failed marriages... Infact , I'll go as far as saying that my mother-in- law has some similarities with your friends. She's been married three times and was unfaithful in two of her marriages. But her son is very different. If anything, he's learnt from her mistakes and is determined not to make the mistakes she made in her marriages. So my point is don't make a final judgment based solely on your friend. Get to know the guy first and find out the kind of person he is z is he God- fearing and kind? What are his values? How does he treat your daughter? Best of luck.

  50. I don't think the poster handled the issue with wisdom. Why so judgemental. if it was your friend that your son was marrying nko, you will start condemning and judging.
    If her son has a good character what's your fear then?
    My fear for you is that you have made your friend dislike your daughter because of your judgemental attitude.
    What if she genuinely liked your daughter at first and would have treated her well out of love for you but now that she knows what you think of her she won't forgive you or your daughter.
    And you are about souring the relationship with her son.

Ultimately just tell your daughter not to get ahead of herself. She should calm down. She has no reason to hurry , they just met, he's not going anywhere. Ask her to take the time to get to know her bf nd his mother before taking the final leap

  58. Poster, please in no circumstances should you tell your daughter about your friend's past in a bid to make her understand your reluctance, because she will likely tell her boyfriend, she is very much in love and the boyfriend will lose his respect for you. Agree to the marriage and tell your daughter to always let you know whenever her MIL gives her a tough time.

    You might be surprised that she will treat your daughter very well because you were her confidant that knew all her secrets, she won't want to offend you.

  59. Dear Poster, I'm not married neither do I have kids.

    I don't like the fact that she went behind your back match making but she might have been ashamed of her past and guess that you would not agree.

    For her wanting her son to be with your daughter she remembers you being good and grounded while at school and is guessing your daughter would be the same and would want that for her son. Hence her approach.... please pray and treat such with wisdom. All the best and God bless you and yours.

  60. See! I don't even want to know but as a mother who just had a lil baby girl I wouldn't want her to marry into such family. Madam ur daughter isn't just going to marry that man. She's also going to b married into dat family. A family that rejected their son. Omo carry ur daughter and run. Pray to God. A bad family ll smear ur grandchildrens future too. Marriage is not just abt love.that boy ll definitely have personality issues. Trust me on that. They ll unfold after marriage then u ll blame urself. Call ur daughter to order.
