Chronicle Of Blog Visitor Narrative....

Hmmmmmmm.......








STAND ALONE NARRATIVE
SALUTATION MISUNDERSTANDING



Hello Stella, 
 Thank you for this platform, it has been of immense help to so many people.


I have a situation at hand that needs your input and that of BVs.


I have an Uncle who last year got married in his early 40s to a lady in her early 20s ( 23 or there about). Before my uncle got married, my younger sister who is 28 has been staying with him and going to work from his house for about a year plus now, my uncle and this my sister are really close.


My mum called on Friday last week and was telling me that my uncle and my sister have been having issues, that he said my sister does not greet his wife, you know, the normal good morning, good afternoon greeting, my sister on her part is insisting that she can't greet her (the wife) because she (my sister) is far older than she is.


I called my sister to try and talk to her but she is adamant, she says she contributes to the best of her ability to the running of the house by bringing some money every weekend, that the fact that my uncle is sheltering her does not mean that she will start greeting someone that she is far older than. She said if my uncle wants her should open his mouth and ask her to leave his house and she will leave.


Please I want to know what you guys think, because my sister will be reading this. Is my sister right by refusing to greet a lady she is 5 years older than, or is she supposed to greet her because she is our uncle's wife?




*People take greetings differently,some don't care but some do....
If she has to stay in his house,then let her respect him...saying Good morning is no big deal....Is she gonna kneel down to say it?

If she cannot do it then let her leave peacefully before it gets to being asked to leave...You cant be in somebody's house and be claiming seniority with his wife...

    2. Poster I greet even a 3 year old cause it means nothing to me..She should do it cause it shows respect to her uncle..No body said she should dobaale..Just greet and move on..She will not do so, she should leave the house..Respect is reciprocal, it has nothing to do with age..She should stop feeling proud..

    3. Nigerian girls once they're married they assumed they're now older than Methuselah so therefore every single ladies around must bow down before them. Rubbish. For the sake of peace your sis should start greeting her and if she can't deal let her leave that house jejely. If I were in her shoes I will leave that place with immediate alacrity. I can't stand being disrespected.

    4. It will not remove a strand of hair from her hair,or reduce her bank account. She should greet and face front. No biggie.

      Delete
    5. Let her put herself in the shoes of the lady. If she married into a family where younger than the siblings or cousins of her hubby and maybe one of them comes around or stays with them, will she be comfortable not being greeted? If the relationship between herself and uncle is as it appears, why should just greeting be an issue. i do not get, does she like peace and accept change.

      Delete
    6. I am sure the problem is not greetings. Your sister must have been dropping seniority vibes for the wife. I know how older ladies try to treat younger ones they feel compelled to relate with in a respectful manner act. You sister I am sure also drew a line not to be friendly with the wife as per "I have known him longer than you. He is my brother. We are close. I bring in money too".

      Your sister should move and allow a young marriage to thrive biko.

    7. Am sure before marriage the wife use to greet ur sister and might have called her aunty at a point but now she is expecting the greetings from you now,its high time you had left she might see your closeness to her husband differently so devices a means to make you leave

      Delete
    8. Your sis can smartly say *sis how was ur nite*? First thing in the morning

      She mustn't say good morning

      Let her just be smart or leave if she has rent cos it won't stop.

      The new iyawo is not trying sha. She's ur snr. Just greet her. Carry mrs for head like govt work

    9. @Nigerian First daughter, u dey mind them?

      How will I see someone older than me and be expecting them to greet me first. Even if I don't greet them, I will never demand that she greets me first.

      Rubbish. The thing is even annoying me.

    10. No need to contribute to the running of the home use the same money and move out because see finish Don dey enter

    11. The issue is not the sister greeting but the fact that the wife is always waiting to be greeted. Respect is reciprocal biko

      @ Nigerian first daughter you are right. You know them very well.

      There is one that is married with two children. Happened to be a kid sister to my ex-classmate(friend) on Facebook. She Didn't know I know her. You need to see the way she behaves, I just tire. I greet her always because I am not the one to wait for greeting from someone I am not feeding. But one day I didn't see her coming, I was washing the car. So the way I positioned myself I wouldn't know someone was at my back. This lady just entered without saying hello to me. I knew because I saw her in the car mirror. Fear catch me ehn. To think I have been greeting her since. That was when I realised I have been the only one greeting her since and she has never for once opened her mouth to say hello first. The next time we met she was looking at me waiting for me to greet her like she always does. I was looking at her too. Do You know this lady walked past me? So the only way we would talk was if I said hi first. Since then everyone just dey their dey abeg. Very proud small small wives everywhere

    14. Nigerian first daughter....Very hypocritical people. How can a younger person be wanting greeting from an older person all the time.

      All these yeye wives. I would have said I was the one who sent this in sef. I was working and got my own place. I helped my my bros get a good job in the same city. So we decided to live together bearing the expenses together. I even did more because he just started working and I have been working for long so my salary was more. He got married and I am naturally a happy go lucky kinda person. I greet everyone even go to neighbours house to greet them if I haven't seen them in a while. I just noticed the wife does not greet. It took me so long to notice because of my nature. Same 5 years difference. I said I willl test her to be sure. How can I be the only one greeting her everyday. The next day she entered. Looking at me. I looked at her too. We started a looking competition when I saw the whole thing has been dragged for too long and I already figured out what I wanted. I just walked away. She knew what she did and before I entered the room she shouted good afternoon but it was too late. It dawned on me she has been waiting to be greeted and receiving greetings from me and I didn't realise it on time. If your sister was her elder sister she would be waiting to be greeted everyday ba?

    15. Anon 15:54 it's rude to ask anyone how their night was. It's better to ask "Hope you slept peacefully or hope you slept well". I don't see any biggie in greetings someone. As a matter of fact I greet both younger and older. Except your Uncle's wife is carrying shoulder... if that's the case. Then she should go get her greetings from the house furnitures and cooking utesils😒

    16. Your sister is troublesome. It is the mans wife house. If she cannot say good morning then let her leave. Traditionally the woman is even her aunty no matter her age as she is married to her uncle. I am sure even when the wife greets her she will not answer. Pls let her leave.

    17. Chai, I too love myself, I love greeting younger people first and I dont mind, once I see you I say hope you slept well darling etc, pls sister you are still young your own husband will come, pet your brother's wife, when you see her in the morning tease her well with different kinds of greetings eg wifey see as you dey shine this morning etc buy her gifts pray to God to remove every negative feelings you have about her, and watch God help you with all your needs, God Bless you Sis.

    18. Even my small neighbor expect me to greet her first. I have been doing that and decided to see whether she will greet me first too if I don't greet, she will just pass, I just fashy her with her amebo. Since she decided to watch over the compound for us no problem.

      Poster,if your sister can't do it, she should leave the house period to allow peace to reign.

    19. Old singles we know some of you are here commenting anonymous. When una Don tey to marry every married woman becomes an enemy with anything they do.. It happened to you or your sister does not mean it's the same story in this house. If you are an older person and you enter a young persons house will common sense and courtesy not make you greet? Am very sure the aunty has an attitude the husband noticed. Maybe the poor girl even greets her but she will not answer. She should go and marry and flex in her husband's house too. Africans and age mentality. If I was the one as wife dey come I go dey gather money to look for my own house. So you contribute money mean say Wetin? She must have been oppressing the girl with I lived here before you vibes... Ko neccestry abeg. You can just say how are you with a smile and just move if you have no bad Belle.

      I wonder the kind of home training you had, you lack sense of respect.
      You can drop your comment without talking down on the single ladies here.
      You think you are better than the singles?
      Even the ones in bad marriages will come here and single shame the unmarried ones. You reek of ignorance.
      To all the singles out there, God will bless you with great partners in his time.

    23. If your uncle's wife had small sense, she will not wait for someone 5 years older than her to always greet her first.

      Anyone can say good morning and how are you this morning first, what is there? This shouldn't be a problem but we lasies are full of unnecessary drama and competition. They already started on a warring note.

    24. 18:16 receive sense becos you sound stupid right now. Is marriage a trophy? Do you knw a lot of ladies dont want this marriage of a thing? I had and still have suitors but im rejecting them all. Rich guys oo marriage is not a big deal. You sound like you cant live without a man 🤣 mumu you. My dear pls tell your sister to leave dat house asap and say hello or hi 2 the wife.

      Delete
    25. I don’t see the fuss about who greets first 🙄. I think your sister’s contribution to the household expenses is making her entitled in a way. Technically the house is for your uncle and his wife now because they are one.Accord her the respect you would your uncle. Wifey maybe mean but if she isn’t greeting you enough move somewhere else please. Life is not that hard

  2. Even if your uncle's wife is 12year old courtesy demands she accord her same respect she gives your uncle because of her wife status. She is just being rude and it is wrong

      Let her greet for peace to reign else where the matter go reach, she no go believe am.

    6. I'm surprised that no one is seeing it! All this greet or no greet is merely a smoke screen. Uncle want auntie to leave his house so he can enjoy his marriage in peace. Uncle is trying to avoid auntie reporting the going-ons in his family to their extended family. Poster's sister, I hope that their marriage wasn't sudden? If not, by now you should have made alternative arrangements

    7. Mrs E I think you're right, I know a man who has being paying for an empty mini flat for years that's where he sends all his visitors too, he said he doesnt want anyone monitoring his wife.

    8. Not necessarily.
      Though the sister should try and leave as she herself would probably also want to have some sense of newness, privacy with her new partner when she gets married.

      So, if indeed it is that any one of the couple want her to leave shouldn't cause any bad blood between them.


      About the greeting, think about this. If she were older than you would you greet her, or would the story be why would I be greeting her just because she is older than me with 5 years.

      Also think on this, if your friend brought such a case to you, you would probably defend the wife if she was your friend, and defend the sister if she was your friend.

      This shows that there are really no bad people in this story, no good or bad side. It is just a case of both people putting yourself in the shoes of the other.

      The young wife that does not want to be a pushover to her in laws, regardless of how young or old she is.

      The sister that does not want to be disrespected in a place that was her " field" before regardless of how old or young she is.

      Two people who who will prefer their personal space but bound together by temporarily unchangeable circumstances.

      That's just psychological preamble, possible solution.

      You brought the issue up here, so
      You can start greeting her like you would greet anybody younger than you but you respect.

      Iyawo, how was your night
      Aburo mi, you are back
      A direct good morning won't be bad too if not in respect hinting Yoruba language.

      See if she too will not start responding.


      Would have suggested you talk to your brother to talk to her, but only if you present it well and he will handle it right.

      You also won't want your in-law reports about you to cause trouble for you in your marriage.

    9. I support Miss Ess on this. Greeting her is respecting your uncle.

      I truly don't understand why we have lost basic courtesy as a value. I greet everyone I see, from gate men, to drivers, to receptionists, to area boys. The drivers and security men in my office can do anything for me. D area boys nko, they can kill anyone for me, all I need to do is ask.

      Courtesy says you greet people in general, you don't have to be friends with them.

      Delete
    10. There's no issue here from my own opinion. just that the two parties are forming to be pilot. The wife as the owner of the house and the sister is forming seniority. Women na case, tell your sister to behave like a tenant in that house, respect the lady and the Uncle. Nothing dey there.

    11. True Mrs E. Unnecessary drama. She is your uncle's wife, accord her same respect you would your uncle. What is even in a "good morning"

    12. Am amazed at you folks, so the roles were changed and say your brother was older than your husband, would it be okay for your brother to greet your husband first 'ALWAYS'?. The point is that respect is reciprocal, for the young wife to always expect greeting is totally wrong, anybody can say hi first and then aunty you that is 28years but won't become independent, see your life? Better move out and save yourself the embarrassment. You are not married and yet you won't allow new couples live alone. The young wife is giving you hint to go and get married or better still give yourself brain and move out.

    1. Dear sister to poster, please pack your things and leave their house. You can't be a squatter and be forming seniority at the same time. That is her home and anybody in it must greet her as long as you no reach to born her.

      Whatever respect you accord your uncle should be accorded to her. It's not like she's sending you on errands or anything. By the way, someone who's been working for a year should be able to afford a place.

    3. There are so many things to consider here and it all boils down to attitude.
      Who greets first isnt an issue but then -does the wife demand for it?
      -does she act superior because she's now married and her older sister in law isnt?
      In my own opinion, I think she should greet her first and show respect as the uncle requested but she should watch the young brides attitude. If she sees that the girl becomes rude or quite disrespectful, she should swiftly and quietly make her exit...

I have a friend they dont greet each other formally when they wake, they just wake themselves and say their prayers and gist,very lovely family but I have never heard them say good morning, sometimes they will even wake up early and just start gisting before prayers.so it's not a big deal to everyone.

Your uncle is married...he needs to enjoy marital bliss with his bride and Its only fair he takes his wife’s side and not your sister’s. Maybe eventually he will start seeing things equally from both sides, but for now his loyalty should be with his wife. They need some space.

    Question...why did your uncle marry her 'daughter'? Why can't this old men marry their age mates or atleast close range in age?...this is just child abuse(to me)... and I believe if a man marries at this age especially to her 'granddaughter' or 'daughter' in the name of wife, something is definitely wrong with him, and this is my 2cents.

    Your sister should jejeli leave that house and go get married. You cant live in another man's house and be flexing muscle.

I leave with my hubby cousin that I senior for 7-8 years and she do greet me every day but any day I comes out of my room before her, I do knock at her door to greet her too. No big deal.
    If your uncle's wife is the one greeting your sist every day, let your sister be the first to greet her some day... It is not part of the duty of the wife to be greeting her every day. In a nutshell let the greetings be vice versa shikenan....

Bcos you are bringing weekly money you now think that it's ok not to greet the madam of the house? The 23yr old girl attitude might not be the best but that does not change the fact that she is now uncle's wife.by the way,why leave with a newly married couple? Let your sister read everyone's comment on this blog so she knows what other people think. Is just like me saying bcos I am contributing to a company,my oga that is the CEO that is 10yrs younger than me will now come and I will not greet bcos I am older than him?

    1. Respecting your uncle's wife should lead to "slavery" There is always problem when one person is the first to greet everyday. I think your uncle is simply telling your sister to leave and she should without delay and avoid visiting that house except it's absolutely necessary

    2. The uncle wife too should respect herself. How can one person be greeting everyday? I greet small children too without waiting for them to greet me first. But when I notice someone is waiting, you will wait tire.

      For the uncle to make it an issue it is obvious the wife is waiting.

  23. I don't understand ,is it that the wife will first see her and not say good morning but expect her to say good morning first. The wife should at least say good morning to her since she's older or she's claiming uncle wife😊Oya tell your sister to Greet her saying good morning will not reduce her bank account .SMZ.

  24. Your uncle and his wife are one. Same respect she gives your uncle should be given to his wife too.
    She is your uncles wife not her younger sister.

    Who knows, she might even be ordering her in the house too to prove her seniority.
    Even if she is d one feeding both id them, the wife is still the 2nd in command. Not

  25. I stayed with my cousin too while in Lagos , he got married to a rude lady who I’m a year older than but the fact that they’re giving me accommodation at that time I became her house girl infact I use eh and ma for her while she calls me by name and even command me but at that time it was just the hope of where I’ll be in life that kept me going. Let me shock you guys she’s not using ma for me and forming bestie as per when I was hustling they fed and accommodated which is TRUE .. so in short since your sister is still dependent on them she has to give respect to both the husband and wife or she LEAVES...

      whose wife I'm also 7years older than. When I walk up in the morning whenever I visit them, I don't call her by name, I call her by her child's name, I greet her good morning and ask her how her night went, I proceed to help her with little house chores I can do and return back to my room. Even when I receive hubby younger cousins as guest, I greet them too and we all go about our daily activities.. So you want her to be greeting you as per senior wife or what.. My dear be humble.

  28. Poster, I don't see anything wrong in greet good morning, afternoon, good evening or welcome back first!

    Simple courtesy demands that we greet people whether they are older or younger than us, it doesn't matter.

    Your sister should greet her aunty (uncle's wife) and let peace reign. When she moves to her own house, she should set her greeting rules.

    I remember the short time I spent with one of my uncles, his wife would always want to greet me in the morning, (she's older than me with fee years) I also reciprocated by greeting her first whenever I see her first. Its just good morning and it doesn't take nor add anything to us.

    Life is too short to be having issues with frivolities like; who greeted first and who greeted last.

  34. I feel your sister feels she cannot respect your uncle's wife and that is wrong. Either way, this will not end well and I like it that your uncle is standing up for his wife else your sis will use attitude to intimidate the young lady.
    My elder sister was in your sis inlaw shoes when she got married newly. She met his relatives in that house and all were older than her. Some were respectful while others were not. Some even confronted her about not seeing them and why she didn't greet them. Next thing is, this is my brother's house, we were relating well before you came and all that. Eventually, they still ended up renting an apartment and they all moved there. Some still found a way to get at her whenever they met.
    Pls poster, let your sis quietly leave your uncles house. Not because she contributes to the running of the house that she will disrespect his wife on top.

    1. Thank you I have asked too. Blog visitor just hear wife and they start to show support anyhow. It is obvious the wife doesn't greet her and waits for the sister to donate greetings to her every morning. The best is for your sister to leave that house. Today is greeting, tommorow may be that your sister did not wash her plate.

      Delete
    2. The best bonding they can have is by the posters sister moving out of the house. No newlywed will be happy squatting an in-law that has no exit plan. To me, that's the crux of it. Besides, you don't know what your uncle must have told his wife in private. I guess he may be the instigator who wants your sister to leave his house but does not outrightly want to say it(it happened to a friend of mine). He's merely hiding behind his wife's skirt(I don't know why many men do this). He's thinking that your sister should use her initiative to leave but since she's acting dumb, let her stay and watch them accuse her of not doing dishes, mopping the house, taking more than one meat from the pot. A word is enough.....

  38. The issue here isn't age of the sister or the other lady being a wife to the uncle. The issue here is pride. But your sister and your uncles wife are very proud people. How do you know someone isn't greeting you? If not that you were waiting to be greeted in the first place. The one who sees the other first should be the one to greet. She knows you aren't greeting her because she expects and waits to be greeted while you on the other hand too is waiting to be greeted. Two proud people. I think it goes beyond greetings anyway and it's more of the wife not appreciating you live with them.

    If I were you there is something I would do. I would greet her for one week straight then stop and see if she would reciprocate but if after that she still carries her shoulder then her pride na follow come. Let's be honest guys. Only one person cannot be doing the whole greeting while the other just sits and expects to be worshipped all the time. If I greet someone all the tone and I see they don't make the same effort I bounce. What isee here is the lady wants to turn it to your day job of greeting her always without reciprocating. I may be wrong but if she greets you back after you have done the same for that whole week without waiting for your greetings first then you guys just show love to another. Sometimes your children do not greet you first. If you see them first you say morning during and they sat good morning mummy.

  60. @poster, I can see all your analysis to portray that your sister is older and was there b4 your uncle's wife but you forgot that greeting her is just giving respect to your uncle. Marriage has brought the 'small girl' and your uncle together so her age does not really matter. Also, permit me to peep through your sister's mind - it may not really be good morning/afternoon/evening but she seem to be looking down on her uncle's wife simply b/c she knows she's younger - believe me, if she wakes up and asks her 'how are you, my wife? I hope you slept well', or tells her 'welcome, our wify', when she comes back home, there might not have been any issue. Also, can your sister prove that everyone she greets on the road, at work, in church, at occasions, etc are older than she is?

    If she feels she's insisting on 'her right' then she should have left before the 'small girl' comes to live with her husband. She should stop using emotional blackmail on her uncle - she wants him to tell her to leave so that she will carry news to her parents that uncle did this or that? She should respect herself and rent her own apartment now that issue is just greeting because more are coming, trust me.

    1. Mrs E, you are on point jare. She is too proud! Accord the 23 year old the respect she deserves. Whether she leaves and gets her apartment or not, she still has to accord her that respect. If she got married to an older man in the future, will she accept to be treated any less by her in-laws who are older than she is?

  62. E hard to greet your junior sha, but saying good morning means nothing. But let her leave the house, she would have done so before he got married.

  63. Dear poster,your sister is not wise at all,wisdom is profitable to direct,let's take it this way,I know the moment your sister met her uncle's wife,their "blood no jam"so this will naturally brew strife and pride between them,if your sis was wise and observant she could have handled it well from the onset by loosening up and pretending there's no bad blood in order for peace to reign by greeting her how was your night?welcome o,throwing one or two talks at her,but mba pride won't let una two see road now e Don escalate,pls start planning to pack out asap for your peace and sanity sake,you just created enemity with ur uncle's wife for no reason you should have showed her you are the bigger person here by according ur uncle respect n love towards her,she felt intimidated and insecured by your presence,you should have handled thistwith love and maturity and your uncle's wife would have loosened up to you,you messed up,learn from your mistakes....
    Your uncle's wife is too blame too,she needs alot of growing up to do,life doesn't end in MRS.she should learn to greet and respect her elders for her own good!!
    Poster I hope pride will let you eat humble pie,just do as I say up there👆stylishly while u plan your leaving asap,be sure to leave in peace!!peace

  64. This is my opinion and suggestion, firstly, poster please kindly tell your sister to move out and rent her own apartment, when people are married it is always good to give them space, you can't continue to live with someone forever regardless of being a relative, for her own respect she should rent an apartment and pay her bills if she has work/source of income, but if you don't have then go and live with your parent, she need to respect married couple's space. Secondly, greeting is not a sign that the greeter is younger than the other person, greeting is an expression of goodwill/good wish, it can come from older person to younger person and vice versa, as a matter of fact, it makes you polite. Say Good morning, Good afternoon or Good evening to anyone regardless their age.

  65. Your sister has an attitude and am sure giving I am your senior vibes to the wife. She might not have liked her from when your uncle was dating her. She is now a wife in that house and you must accord her respect. Am sure your uncle has also noticed other things she does to his wife.. This might even be more than just saying good morning to each other. Another woman has come to challenge your closeness to your uncle abi? It won't take you anything to even call her by name and say how are you if you don't want to say good morning. Na you dey squat for person house na you carry seniority for head. Yes I know some women can carry am married on their head but in this case we don't know if this girl is like that. Just respect yourself and carry on till you marry or get your own house.

  66. My question is what is your sister sti doing in your uncle's house? Tell your sister to go and get her own and allow this couple to enjoy their marriage. I don't care if she brings money to the house or not. Let her use that money and go and rent a place, and allow this young girl enjoy her marriage.

  67. Going by the Yoruba Tradition, your sister is meant to accord your uncle's wife the same respect she give your uncle. The wife also is to respect her as an in-law (mama oko). You can never disrespect your in-law.Never!
    While your sister cannot call her by her name,the wife too must learn to be humble. How do you go to live with another family and can't greet. Who trained her? What impression is she giving. Your sister isn't going to stay with them forever,so what is the stress? Even if your sister leaves on a bad note,years to come,your uncle will still blame his wife for being the cause.
    The Yorubas say 'we would not call a cow brother simply because we want to eat beef'. They also say ' Call a madman my in-law so he will allow you do your thing in peace'. If I were your sister,I will choose the later except of course she has a fall back plan.

  68. Your sister shouldn't greet her. That is married doesn't mean she is superior. if she can afford to rent a a mini flat, let her move out peacefully.

    Even if she greets her, more insults will still come.

  69. All this greet or no greet matter sef. I don’t care for greeting and I don’t greet anybody jare,

  70. Ok make we settle this matter once and for all. Regina Daniels is 19 years old BUT I'm sure in her house all the oldies dey great her. Even one minister greeted her and bowed(which was ridiculous of course), but my point is... it's the woman's house even if she is 12 yrs old. Quite frankly though, poster's sister needs to move out..if she feels some type of way

    Poster, advise your sister to be as nice as possible whilst planning to leave ASAP.
    Please let’s respect their marriage and privacy first, if greeting is an issue then their would be more issues in future.

  72. Nigerians attach undue importance with greetings and respect

    When you wake up in the morning, greet everyone you see
    Hello, how are you?
    Good morning
    Hi

    Or
    Don't greet at all
    Do you eat greetings?

    Poster, tell your sister to move out
    She has overstayed her welcome
    Please people try and read the room
    Know when to stay, know when to leave

    Whether she met you there or not, she is now the wife
    Respect it
    Focus on yourself and ignore certain things

  73. Is your sis jealous? What has age got to do with greeting. She is married to your jncle and you are living in her house. So please learn to take life simple abeg....you dey go husband house too. Greet her and be friendly with her...no big deal

    ReplyDelete
  74. what is with all you fustrated single bitches saying women dey carry mrs for head? what rubbish? your friend marry jealousy go wan finish una. they do any small thing na to complain saybecause you are married. na we say make una no marry? marriage na Gods grace and nobody can sayits by their power. but stopinterpreting every action to be "because they are now married". as a married woman you are busy with your husband and children so you cannot hang out much. yes you can call but demands of the home and your own personal time no easy. where is the time to hang out? when a woman marries priorities change and sorry it offends the single friend. stop beefing married women and interpreting every action to mean because they are now married. yes some are bitchy about it and it shows who they really were even as single ladies, but that is no excuse to be abusing married ladies..even a 23 year old will have a big say in her husbands house and deserve and expect some level of respect from whoever. am surethis girl is not saying the aunty shouldbe telling her good morning first but just to be friendly and maybe acknowledge her greeting sef...if she calls her name and say how are you is that not a form of greeting? but no aunty 28 year old i am your senior with five whole years who must be greeted will not do that...aunty pack out and leave that couple alone.

  75. There is no big deal abeg in greeting her. The fact that she is married to your uncle the respect must come automatically for her regardless of the age difference. I'm a living witness; one of my uncles is married to someone I'm way older than but I have NEVER called her by her name...always..Aunt K....Always. So please, advise your sister to start doing the needful henceforth or PARK OUT as na she be MADAM o!!

  76. Poster, if all you said happened exactly how you said them, then I will say the Mama is also a problem to herself. How can she decide to call you codedly yet she cannot take a decision of where and how to be treated of her ailment? Why should you have her ATM card? As her heir or who?
    Why should she give you details of her property or tell you about them, biko? As her daughter-in-law or close family friend or what? Even if she did all these when you were in a relationship with her son, you must hand over now that you are married to another man and know your boundaries. She has male and female children, so her making you her confidant is UNNECESSARY and IMPLICATIVE. You can meet up or text her distraught daughter the details of why your relationship with her brother ended and advise her on the need for surgery on the Mom.

    @Stella I wonder what her reasons for suing the mama's children would be. Negligence in what sense? The woman is not having any mental challenge, neither is she financially incapacitated, and I believe she can walk/move about, so how are they neglecting her? Does this poster actually have full details of why the surgery has not happened? Or the mama is trying to even put she and her hubby in trouble while pretending to be in good terms with them?

    I sincerely think there is more to this story and I advise you, poster, to give back all of the woman's things in your possession to her, just pray for them to take favourable decision and let the mama and her children run their lives.
