Please I just really need someone to talk to about this and I will like your candid advise..

So since my older sister got married I always come to her house and spend few weeks or months and go back. Al·through my university days, whenever school is not in session I always come down here to spend time with her and her husband.

Truth be told the husband is a very nice man and has helped me always financially, anytime I come here once my sister welcomes me the first day like this, from the second day she leaves all her house chores for me, I mean everything and she just relaxes. At times I get really tired and don't even feel like doing those chores but because most times when I come visiting she is heavy ( pregnant) so most times I just help her...

Thing is my sister doesn't appreciate all my effort, most times she complains self its the hubby that tells her that I am hardworking and at least she should give me credit for all I do.

Now the reason why am writing this is because am done with service (NYSC) and as it is its like I have to stay in her house because the state where she stays has more job opportunities compared to where our parents live... She stays in Abuja...I have been down with malaria for few days now and I have been on treatment, just because I can't do certain house chores because am not too strong my sis started complaining saying I can't be living in her house and be waking up whenever i like... Mind you I was always the first that wakes up when I wasn't sick, in fact I will wash the dishes, sweep, mop daily, cook food, bath her children and all those things.

The only thing she does is to bath her youngest baby, but now because for these few days she has been doing those work I do daily she is already saying she can't tolerate me sleeping and not waking up on time.

My question is this, does she have the right to be so angry at me because she is doing her house chores? I feel its her house and so she doing her house chores herself shouldn't be a problem since am not too strong to help her do it. She herself just sweep and doesn't mop, but she expects me to sweep and mop everyday.

Should i just go back to my parents house and get a job there? Me renting my own house is not an option because am a lady and am just 22...

Please i need you guys advice, what can I do?
you should try and tolerate her and as you're tolerating her be looking for an alternative place to stay and continue the job hunt .

I hate when people say am just 22 n I can't live alone...
U shd just say u don't have money to rent a place..
Your mates are living alone..
So u r saying if u find urself abroad..
You will be looking for where to stay free..
Ori e o tie pe sha!!!!!
Bleep u...
If u can't cope go back to ur parents n be apply for jobs online.
Google jobs in Abuja..
When u get one.. Tell d company to provide accommodation for u since u can't live alone??
Ode oshi..
I don support from the start but as I see that statement of I can't live alone am 22..my head spark...
Since u too young to live alone.. Go live with ur parents n stop complaining bout ur aunty enslaving u. And whats stops u from telling her if she can't do her chores herself just cause u r sick. Then u r ready to go back home. Afterall am sure ur parents knows she gets lazy when u r there

I'm sure you haven't been through such

Have you have to watch plate 3 times a day? Plate used by the whole family, then cook, mop, sweep, take care of kids, watch family clothes and repeat some of the above more than once a day, waking up very early as if you are still attending secondary school, be the last to sleep? And the guess what - the cycle repeat tomorrow, and the day after and the day after... I can bet you haven't

You literally get exhausted from doing nothing but house chores
then make she leave, no one is holding her back. Make she No enter town, go find job make she stay for house every day...

I rather stay in a hotel when I'm done I go.

What your sister is doing is a normal thing majority of Nigerian ladies do once they are married.....and I can bet with you that you will do just same once you get married.


The truth is, it seems some kind of evil spirit of selfishness, wickedness and inconsiderateness do jump into Nigerian ladies once they marry.


If not that their husbands are usually the ones footing the family bills, Nigerian ladies will be fighting their husbands for not doing house chores before they wake up.....and that is why I pity guys who married ladies footing most of the family's bills or sharing it 50-50 because their respect for the man is usually very low.


So my advice is, endure until you secure the job you came for.....it is a normal thing with all Nigerian ladies, except very few inconsequential number of them that are a bit different......the rest are like that and you op will also be like your sister once you marry and start to maltreat every family member, maid, house help, domestic staff and any other person below you financially/economically.


So just as peak milk usually advertise, wickedness/selfishness is in you Nigerian ladies, so deal with it.


I am glad she is your blood sister, so bear it because who she is now is who you will become in future once you marry wink

My story look a little bit like yours

Those days of my ND whenever I visit my aunt, I automatically assume the role of the one to do house chores her kids are lazy, as I continue to grow older it doesn't sit well with me, during my HND I learnt photography and start doing wait and get photos while staying with a friend, immediately I start earning small changes my dependency on her greatly reduced hence I don't visit often, before and during my service year I learnt programming and got a job immediately after service

I am grateful for all my aunt and her husband has done for me but the truth is I WON'T ACHIEVE ANYTHING IF I CONTINUE TO STAY WITH THEM MY MIND WILL BE MORE FIXATED ON COMPLETING A NEVER ENDING CYCLE OF HOUSE CHORES RATHER THAN THINKING ABOUT MY CAREER


it's very unfortunate that that's a typical African family treatment

@adunni07 you are simply are adopted house girl and that is not going to change any time soon, no one is gonna let a passive slave free just like that, fighting her is a no no, it is a war you will never win but you will come out severely wounded, she will paint you as ingrate, your parents will rather support her, if you fight her her husband will rather support her and worse of all you will loose the gains and comfort her house bring

Your best bet is to find something doing asap, if it's to learn a vocational training, intensify your job hunting and act grown up, let her see you as busy, don't let her always see you as available, immediately you get a reasonable job your best bet is leaving her house

Best answer so far and talking from experience.
Re: Living With My Married Elder Sister by greypencils: 10:04pm On Jun 18, 2020
The truth is most elder sisters are that way to their younger sisters. My elder sister was exactly that way to my younger sister. My parents did not help matters. Yours won't either. The best bet is to do the little you can do, stomach the insults, look for a job and find a way out of there as soon as possible. If you don't get a job soon, move back home. Your sister might be pregnant, yess, still you have your own life to live. Live it.
Re: Living With My Married Elder Sister by whitemand4(m): 10:06pm On Jun 18, 2020
Thank God my mind is now at peace. While reading, I was expecting something like "I and my sister's husband have been having ********** secretly" grin grin

Anyway, my advice for you is 1. leave their house if the pressure and pains is unbearable (only you knows where the shoe pinches better than NLanders). 2. "Rough it" as it's a matter of time. Who knows if something Golden is lying ahead of you and your sis only acting the way to chase you away inadvertently. May God see you through. He no easy.

There is bad in good and their is good in bad but takes God's wisdom to decern aptly.

I took time to read your lengthy episode. I don't know if you are a male or female, but you appear to be an arrogant girl, full of grudges and sentiments. I guess you don't keep a good relationship with your uncle's wife, lest she should be able to know of your illhealth and how severe, if at all. A couple that has been keeping you throughout your school days, uptil your post NYSC has suddenly turned a problem to you. I think you have not shown any gratitude by your attitude and thinking, more so when staying at that location is advantageous, won't you humble yourself and tolerate her. Keep down your shoulders, if you calm down and exercise some patience and tolerance, after getting a job, you may as well start your your own life and become your own boss, but for now she is the boss and I have not seen any wrong with her. Be wise! Love.

Hmmmmn. op, its gonna get worse. have this at the back of ur mind. i hope she does not get violent with you, like hitting you or something. it will get to the stage where she will accuse u of seducing her husband. just leave her house. the truth is she sees you as a potential threat. another thing is, please be close to God. He will make a way, where there seems to be no way.

You can't feel other people's pain IF u have not been in pain!
I do feel ur pain and believe me, it's not only ur sister nor will it be d last that treat their blood like dt. It's like an automated Veto power.

Lemme take u down d lane a bit when I once lived wt my sister while I ws in school, same as what u experience, d only thing I don't do for her is sharing d oza room wt her husband.

She happens to send me on a biz errand and I had an accident on the way wt Okada on a tarred road. The money wt me got missing or was taken by sympathisers unknown to me, I related d whole story to her and she damn told me, " how could you have an accident without getting stained?" That I must cough out her money... Tears rolled down my eyes and dt was d last I shed because of her...

I moved on n left ...

Please I just really need someone to talk to about this and I will like your candid advise..

So since my older sister got married I always come to her house and spend few weeks or months and go back. Al·through my university days, whenever school is not in session I always come down here to spend time with her and her husband.

Truth be told the husband is a very nice man and has helped me always financially, anytime I come here once my sister welcomes me the first day like this, from the second day she leaves all her house chores for me, I mean everything and she just relaxes. At times I get really tired and don't even feel like doing those chores but because most times when I come visiting she is heavy ( pregnant) so most times I just help her...

Thing is my sister doesn't appreciate all my effort, most times she complains self its the hubby that tells her that I am hardworking and at least she should give me credit for all I do.

Now the reason why am writing this is because am done with service (NYSC) and as it is its like I have to stay in her house because the state where she stays has more job opportunities compared to where our parents live... She stays in Abuja...I have been down with malaria for few days now and I have been on treatment, just because I can't do certain house chores because am not too strong my sis started complaining saying I can't be living in her house and be waking up whenever i like... Mind you I was always the first that wakes up when I wasn't sick, in fact I will wash the dishes, sweep, mop daily, cook food, bath her children and all those things.

The only thing she does is to bath her youngest baby, but now because for these few days she has been doing those work I do daily she is already saying she can't tolerate me sleeping and not waking up on time.

My question is this, does she have the right to be so angry at me because she is doing her house chores? I feel its her house and so she doing her house chores herself shouldn't be a problem since am not too strong to help her do it. She herself just sweep and doesn't mop, but she expects me to sweep and mop everyday.

Should i just go back to my parents house and get a job there? Me renting my own house is not an option because am a lady and am just 22...

Please i need you guys advice, what can I do?
Why are you complaining in somebody's house? If you cant live by there terms pack your bag and go back to yur parents house. if you want to stay then do whatever she wants you to do. Just 22 years and you are feeling entitled. Didnt you see girls in your school that ha e nothing and no one to take care of them that lived hand to mouth or thise that worked day jobs yet come to lectures with you? Walk across your street and see those girls your age who dont have any future but serving madam. Like i said if you cant stand the heat pack ur bag to your mam house. Beside if your sister is very mmean, staying away will teach your value.

Find a friend to stay with. If you can't get one, go back to your parents. She doesn't love you and she has forgotten that you might be placed in a much better position tomorrow.

You best know where you are coming from, and you best know where you are going, I mean your goal. I can't say stay or leave. Before now I have live with different categories of people, and the secret is to adapt to circumstances. And I'm sure both of you are not that close, then why don't you try to befriend her that's try to be close to her. These will help her to understand you more better especially when you down just as you are sick now. Lastly, please no vex comont ooo and no quarrel or fight with her ooo, because it will never help you and in case you decide to leave, please leave in peace so you can freely come and say Hello with free mind another day, after all they still help you.
