ReplyDeleteSome in-laws with entitlement mentality.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the pidgin so much abeg , my belle dey sweet me for your gist always.
ReplyDeleteSister in laws? OK, let me say some sister in laws.. Hmm.
ReplyDeleteMy husband's elder sister came to stay with us for a procedure and stayed more than six months. We were all lovey dovey, and I welcomed her as a big sister.
Sometimes I will go out and come back to see her friend cooking in my kitchen. Pot of stew finishes in a day. I'll just ignore. Only for her to start keeping malice once her procedure was successful.
After she left, she tried poison my husband's mind against me. Told him many horrible things about me and my family 😯😯.. ( saw their Facebook chat). But he defended me, and told her off. She was so angry and became his sworn enemy oh.
Hmmmm.. Even till now. OK, what did I do to you? OK whatever, I am sorry, for peace to reign, for where?
Me I am low-key happy because that one can waka go different prophets for Africa before she... It is well jare.
May God keep defending us women from household enemies.
