    I always say the max days for visiting inlaws is 2days, especially if they are a very big family. Usually we women are mistreated & undermined. Inlaws are competitive, they always wanna show off how they can cook, how well they can clean, how long they can pray, how well they can treat your husband, etc.. You are stuck there feeling small and frustrated ... 🇿🇦

    As someone who desires to be married one day, I have been taking mental notes from observing married couples and I completely agree with Benjamin. I have visited with relatives that lived with their in laws and I can tell y'all, THE STRIFE IS REAL!!! Couples, please have your own space!! In order to maintain respect between yourselves and relatives, boundaries and space are necessary. This is good advice💯❤️

    I have seen it in my family. Nyanya has made it clear, kila mtu aiishi kwake. And when she got sick, a help was hired for her in her home, she only comes to Nairobi for doctors visits and doesn't stay for over a week. We need to care and protect our families and lives.

  • @ed000
    @ed000 4 года назад +13

    💯 agree with Benjamin Zulu....I have experienced it where the mother-inlaw actually knows the inside out of the marriage than me,the wife and she tells the son how to run the marriage including me. Finally,I realized throughout the marriage,the male I have been married to cheated and a very sexualised predator. In other words,he had hidden life style I didn't know and uses Bible and church to cover evil deeds and after,12 years I ended the marriage and for me to realise that all these years I was treated an option and not priority! Thanks Joyce and Benjamin for highlighting on the matter.

      Same here, we are going for year number 3 of living with our in-laws. It sucks. My husband does not make enough to get us out of our situation and I am still studying. I have two years left of studying before I get my degree. It’s hard…really really hard. If I had known this would happen I would have never moved out of my parent’s house and sometimes I wish that I could move back in with my parents but I cannot. I am already married, the deed is done and dusted, I cannot go back in time.

  • @girleylizb
    @girleylizb 4 года назад +33

    People are forgetting that one day they would be a mother in law. The golden rule treat others the way you want to be treated. We are only hearing the negative stories but there are positive relationship too. People need to look for positive side and know their boundaries and show Godly love. Look for people who have good relationship so they can give you good advice. Do not listen to a voice that seems controlling. Some men are so controlling that the girl mother might be trying to advice the daughter and the man does not like that. Some men feel they can do a woman anything because the woman is vulnerable, afraid of him and do not know what to do. She would tell her mother one she can trust and the mother in law would talk to him but he would be upset. Ladies do not throw away your mom because the man do not want your mother there so she can see how he treats you at home. Take warning.

    • @luciocosta7433
      @luciocosta7433 3 года назад +3

      I like the first part of you comment. A lot of woman that like to criticise they mother in law always end up being worst than them in the future. There is always positive and negative things about the in laws. Like you said its more important to focus on the positive side. In law are very very very important. They help a lot. Always respect them.

    I understand what you are saying Benjamin however it is also biblical to honour and respect parents. In laws are parents to both couples and should be given their rightful respect even if it means accommodating them when there’s a need. Brothers and sisters in laws I don’t care they don’t have to stay.

Living in a one bedroom and I am thinking of quitting because everytime I mention my space to my husband he says I hate his mum which I don't I just need space.. She has blood pressure and home area cold and she says because the son has a good job she can't stay at home... The mum is manipulative. Bcz everytime my husband talks to her she starts being ridiculous claiming she will go back home and I see my hubby has no say bcz he feels the mum can get mad. He is tore everytime... And now because it has got to this point I feel like I want to move out even though my husband is nice in everything I just feel I can't handle this.. She can't even move to ushago and get a nanny she claims it's cold.. Aki anyone who can help me I am emotionally drained

      Explain it to your husband and let him tell his own parents.

      You never tell them. Your husband should do the setting boundaries

    It’s a full time job to take care of in-laws. Lord forbid you have to work a full time Joan’s and children. Trust, you lose all
    Of yourself if there are no boundaries

    You've not met in laws who are thieves
    And they deny stealing your clothes, who doesnt know their clothes 😒
