• A woman has cried out for advice over what happened after she told her children not to eat her mother-in-law's food because she was upset that she had cooked.
• Her husband had told her that there was a unique way that his mother cooks her local stew with fresh fish, and she wanted to make the meal when she visited them
• According to the woman, her husband's mother visited them, took money from him without telling her and cooked in her kitchen

A woman is seeking advice over her marital problem as she is having a misunderstanding with her husband and his mother.

According to the woman's story shared on X, it all started after her mother-in-law visited them.

Before the visit, her husband had told her how his mum made a unique local stew they enjoyed as kids and that he would like her to make it when she visits them, an idea she didn't like.

Without informing her, she said her husband's mum took money from him when she visited, went out to get the stew ingredients and cooked for the family.

Angered by her mother-in-law's action, she said she instructed her kids not to eat her food. They obeyed, and she also didn't eat it, which led her mother-in-law to report the matter to her husband. The woman's story, as shared on X by @TweetbyRuda, went thus:

"I'm currently having issues with my husband because of his m0ther. She came for holidays. My husband told me that there's a unique way his mom cooks her local stew with fresh fish & they usually enjoy it when they were kids. That he wants his mom to cook that kind of stew for the family. Mind you, we've never had problems before if not now.

"Personally, l didn't like the idea but l didn't argue with him but l expected his mom to reject the idea and tell him to allow me cook what l want after all its my home. Rather, Mama collected money from my husband without telling me.

"She went by herself to buy the stuffs and cooked it. I told my children not to eat the food. I didn't eat too.

"She reported me to my husband that l refvsed to eat the food she cooked and that l also instructed my kids to av0id her food. I explained everything to my husband. He got angry with me and instructed me to apol0gize to his mom. But I refvsed to apol0gize cos I didn’t see where I'm wrong since then both mama and her son have been acting funny.

"Pls how is all this my fault. Mind you, mama didn't ask me first before entering my kitchen to cook her Local stew. Please I want everyone on this platform to address this issue. Thanks."

Mixed reactions trail lady's story online

@__TOOS said:

"Both you and the MIL are wrong. She should have taken you along to the market to at least give you a sense of belonging. And there’s nothing wrong with her wanting to cook the stew if you’re both in good terms and have a cordial relationship—you should see thah as an opportunity to learn how to cook one of your husband’s favorites. So you should apologize and don’t be silly."

@MsVotie said:

"You shouldn’t be mad at anyone who chooses to take the burden of cooking off you. Mama the kitchen is all yours please!"

@helen_oluwa said:

"You’re not wrong for feeling bad, but refusing the food and involving the kids made things worse.

"Talk to your husband calmly, explain your feelings, and set simple boundaries next time.

"Peace is better than pride."
