Omugwo Wahala !!

Some Mothers see the Omugwo time as one to relax..lol

I want to share my own Omugwu story too.(Please make una manage my gramma as I no go school oo)

I took in a year after my traditional marriage. (Fast forward to my 38th weeks) I took my leave a day before that day and the next morning I went to my working place to pick some of my things, I was having on and off contractions though I didn't know what it was then(thought it was normal) I was about  cooking in the evening that day when I felt the urge to pee and when I finished and cleaned up I saw some mucous(I had being seeing it before then but that one was too heavy)

To cut it short I had my baby around 2am the next morning. 

I was discharged the next day and my mum came after 5 days from the villa. She came loaded with everything needed for omugwo( she really try 4 dat side)
Hmmmmmm, it was better she didn't come at all oo because she didn't help me at all.(her first omugwo but not first grandchild because one of my younger sisters had a baby at home)

Na only Ludo,Ayo(ncho) and movies be her work. Even at midnight she would wake up and start playing ludo.

My baby can cry for Africa and each I took my baby to my mum to help me and carry so that I could sleep small she go just say abeg drop am there, me and am who senior,na the day wey she see me I see am,Hmmmmmm.

All she does was eat eat eat and eat. She is diabetic and I was cooking two pots and it was too stressful for me.(she didnt help me with cooking at all) and she isn't old,she was just 49yrs then(4yrs ago).

I stopped her from bathing my baby because she no sabi,under 2 secs she don finish, my husband asked me to be doing it myself so that my baby won't end up with body odour.I was able to learn a little from my brother-in-law's wife that was coming to bath her before my mum came. 

All the drinks we bought for visitors na my mama finish am and she no say she get diabetes oo. If i buy wheat bread for her she go finish am before evening and she no say we dey manage ourselves. To wash baby clothes na talk of war( she go like to dey wash am every 2days) and me no like am like that,so I took over the washing, the cooking and the bathing of my baby. I couldn't even stand for long because of the tear they gave me.

She complained that she didn't come with her drugs and she needed to go back, I bought her some drugs but she told me that that one wasn't working at all.(she just wanted to run away)...LOL
She was just busy giving me lists of what to buy for her and the ones she would share in the village.

She left after 3wks and she knew that I had an episiotomy,I wasnt even strong enough then,I begged her to stay a little but she refused oo,I even begged her to leave my younger brother who came with her then to stay with me until I was strong enough but she still refused.She just managed to teach me how to back baby because I had no help then. She is too money conscious(she just dey tell me how mama Ngozi and co go omugwo and the kind things wey dem carry com back and the kind money when their daughters and husbands give dem but I no ans am bcos I no say she dey whine me,I no go kill myself for her)

When she was leaving some of the things I bought for her after I took her the market to buy things,I decided to buy one extra wrapper,shoe and bag but the thank you I got from her was that there weren't beautiful( I provoked and shouted on her oo) I asked her if she asked me to buy those ones again but I just did it for her,she later apologized. 

When I had my 2nd baby she didn't come oo,I told her not to bother that I would take care of myself.
Wetin I wan do nah na still my mama,she later apologized for what she did then and I no get choice than to forgive her.
