AWidow That Didn't Visit Me When I Gave Birth Expects Christmas Money From Me by Ememmmi: 10:53am On Dec 29, 2023
I have an uncle that passed on early last year. My daddy told me he's my "uncle" but a distant relation because I don't know him in the village. We only met in lagos here so I think we are related but not close relation. Before he died, I use to send money to him especially during covid. At times he will ask and atimes I will send without him asking me. So when he passed on early last year, I was still sending the little amount I can afford to his wife. Its been 4 months I gave birth and she did not even come to see me. Her house to my house is about 500 transport fare to and fro. She knows there's no how she will come to my house and I won't give her cash even if at all she don't have transport fare.

She called me 2 days ago asking of Christmas money. I told her I will send it but inside me I am not happy honestly. People came from very far distance to visit me when I gave birth but this woman didn't even show concern. Anytime she call me will always be to ask of money. She said all her husband relative has abandoned her.
It is not like I don't have money to give her but her attitude is bad. She has only one daughter which she claimed she's in university. I don't know how true is that
Do you think I should overlook her character and give her the money

You can give her the cash but tell her that you are not happy that she could not come to visit you after your birth. Make sure you tell her your grievance.

At the bolded, are you owing her any money?
Your response was even economical, I would have asked her if she gave me any money to keep for her.
I don't tolerate selfish and self centered people.
There is this girl that always chats me up when she needs money. As a matter of fact, any time I see her chat, I automatically know that she needs something.
I've never given her a dime for once because such attitude makes me sick.
This goes to show you that people only remember you when they need you.

Voice out your frustrations on the said woman, spill it out and look out for her reactions.
How sober or guilty she is will determine the next step you take.

Relate with her the way she wants to relate with you. That is from afar! Infact, it is to your favor because if she comes too close, the more she becomes a burden to you.

The more the relating from afar, the better for you. So, give her what ever you propose in your heart.

Hi Ememmmi,

Tell her in a serious and playful way that you are not happy she had not called you about your bundle of joy. Forgive her. Give her the money.

Thanks,

Oblongata.

There is no issue here na

Just tell her that you are not happy with for not visiting or showing any concern when you gave birth and send her money shekina

If she isn't returning your vibe then make the giving a freelance thing, that is any time wey you get

If you tell her your grievances she may take it as offence or an act of arrogance. If I were you, I'll stop giving her money directly, any financial assistance I make will only be for her daughter.

You are a good person and God has given you a kind heart like his, don't let the actions of others deter you in your benevolence, your reward is not from them, even if they wanted to, they couldn't reward you enough.

Go ahead and send the money with a free heart and God will reward you. 1Pet.3.9 - says not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

In sending the money, you are returning blessing for "evil" and in so doing obeying the word of God.







I am still a proud Nigerian preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to all. Stay away from sin and read your bible today to know God more. It is good also tell her what she did, so she can correct herself.

Truth is, when the chips are down for you, she is one of the first that will abandon you.

As you grow older, you learn how you deal with people but most importantly how to separate your friends from your fiends.
