Family is not just an important thing, it's everything in a person's life. You don't choose a family because it is a God's gift to you. However, family is a tiny model of socety on the whole: that means sometimes, there are problems and trouble. Our reader sent this letter to naijagossip@ymail.com, and she needs your advice on how to deal with a present crisis in her home.
I am married, and we have with a son. My husband's sister is 31 years old, two months pregnant. Her boyfriend said he does not want the baby, but she said she would keep it. She's sure that everything will be just fine, but the problem is that she wants stay in our house so that I would take care of another man's responsibilty! If she had a job to take care of herself, and I am not speaking of the baby, she says she would still come stay in my own house and give birth here!
I've spoken to my hubby and said I won't accept that, because the woman is 31! I suggested that she rents an apartment, but my husband got angry and said she's going to stay with us. There is nothing I can do about it! Should I pack my things and leave, he wouldn't ask me to come back. He's choosing his own family over our marriage!I feel bad. If my parents were alive, I would have left him. But I have noone except God!
While I was pregnant, this girl wouldn't do anything for me, wouldn't clean the house or go to the market. I, with my big tummy, had to do all of this, and would often return to find her watching TV. I would cook and serve her food.Before she got pregnant, I had fallen ill and had begged her to to come stay with me. She refused, saying she wants to stay with her guy. Now when she's expecting she came looking for shelter.
I am not saying the brother (my husband) shouldn't help her, but he has to teach her a lesson so that she doesn't make same mistake again! My hubby says she is innocent and I am corrupt. Well, how is she innocent if she is now pregnant?
She cannot stay in my home; and my husband should be paying attention to me, not to her. It's jst like I don't even have a say in my own home!
Please, am I harsh, or selfish, or right? Please, I need your advice!
