There are so many advice given when it comes to a man and his mother; some would say, to win a man’s heart, love his mother as you would yours, never tell your husband anything bad about his mother, don’t go into any sort of battle with your mother in- law, you will never win!!! Don’t confront her, or disobey her no matter what…While I have my personal opinion on all of this, I am not going to talk about it, at least not today, but I would like to know your thought about the story below.

During my self- given maternity leave, there was almost nothing I  did not watch on television, that is when LadyA and babyJ lets me. Seen the desperate housewives Africa anyone???? May I just say, the original desperate housewives series was the best series ever on television, I loved every character, the narration style, it was just so entertaining…When I saw Africans were going to adapt it, I must admit, I was so skeptical but watching it has given me a thrill, thumbs up to the producers. I think I get the most thrill from trying to compare theirs and ours and guessing what character each person is playing…Total fun!

One of the episodes, Kiki, her mum in-law and husband were on the table and the mother in-law was complaining to her son, saying he should drive all the house workers as it will reduce his expenses, and suggested the wife should do the house chores herself, since she is a full time housewife with so much time on her hands and no kids yet, the wife immediately got pissed by the suggestion, then the man took sides with his mother right there and then saying  “you should truly help around the house…” Immediately I went ” Oh no you didn’t” Red-flag!

Is it right for a husband to correct is wife in front  of his mother based on his mother’s findings or observation? Should he take sides with any of them and who should that be? Or should he just run away without saying anything?RUN!!!!! loll. Men, what would you do in this situation? Would you talk about it there and then or  bring the topic up later when you guys are alone? And when or if it is brought up, ladies, will it upset you? Especially if he makes reference to his mum? Example,” Like my mum said…” What is your thought and give your reason, what should be done in this kind of situation…Men come in here, I have a feeling y’all about to be schooled or is it the ladies?
