Blood is Thicker 2

Here I go... Imagine mother in law visited, and for dinner, you spent time in the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal. However, on presentation at the dinner table you hear "I don't usually eat this...son you remember now". Your poor husband placed on a spot apologises to her and turns to you with that look only the two of you understand. "Mum, I'm sorry. I'll just go make some wheat meal for you. Would you like that?" She doesn't as much as turn to answer you. You get to the kitchen to do it anyway... Now while in the kitchen, I want you to note some things;
1. She's not going to be there forever.
2. Your husband knows what is going on and he is on your side.
3. Your kindness is only going to frustrate her plans.
4. Most importantly, he is your husband now, not Mama's baby.
So, hang in there, set your eyes on the big picture,  after all as I wrote earlier in What is the Colour of Love there is enough love to go round. Ponder on this.

Blood is thicker than quoi?

Sometimes, I can't really help pondering on the intricacies of relationships. A young lady, with the intent of marrying, visits her brother's matrimonial home and immediately begins to analyse her sister in law's actions. She suddenly wants to protect her sibling from this female 'other', and does it very well without mercy.

Sometimes it could even be with the blessings of parents (mothers, most often), to frustrate the bride and make her understand that this home is not hers. However, I have learnt over time that "what goes around, comes around", if you refuse to do as you would be done bye KARMA awaits you where you are going as a bride. Did I hear you say "blood is thicker than water"? Well who is blood and who is water? Blood don't cook his food and meet his needs now, water does. So, give her some breathing space and go build yourself a home.
