Since we no longer have a mother, it automatically means I would one day become a mother-in-law to both my brothers' wives when my brothers decide to take a wife.
What are you like as a mother-in-law? If you are yet to become one, please share how you imagine yourself as a mother-in-law in the future.
I am not sure I am going to be that evil, wicked mother-in-law Africa magics portray in their movies and that's because even as a sister I have always stood with my brother's girlfriend and always told her not to stay and lick my brother's ass especially when he is trying to be an asshole.
Yeah, my older brother is of age and has had a girlfriend and while they were still dating, I have seen how he behaves and treat his girlfriend and in one of those days he was being an asshole and treating her like some child, after all the stress she went through, infant we both went through to get his sorry self out of the mess he created for himself, I had to put him in his place and told his girlfriend to take a walk out of his life he wasn't treating her right because she deserves someone who treated her right and like a queen she was.
My mom was alive back then and was there when this incident happened and tried to caution me with the "He is your brother, and I shouldn't have told his girlfriend to leave him" and I asked her "If she were your daughter would you have allowed him to talk to her or treat her that way"?
We both knew that answer because my mum, even though she knows I can hold my ground wouldn't let anybody treat me rudely, so she kept quiet. Yeah, because of the advice I gave my brother's girlfriend which she later took after a year, my brother wasn't happy with me, but he got over it because he knew he didn't deserve the young lady with his attitude.
I wouldn't let no mother in law treat me badly, so of course I won't and I am not planning to be bad or treat my brother's wife badly either, I do not have sisters, so I hope to see them not just my brother's wives but as my sisters.
I am going to be the mother-in-law who would do right by my brother's wives, respect them, and stand up for them or stand by them if my brothers get to be irresponsible men which I am hoping they don't but I am going to try my best to be the best mother-in-law to them, would love them, shower them with so much love and care. I will always show up for them, I am already a friend who shows up for her friends, so it wouldn't be hard to do the same for my brother's wives.
All I hope is that they both get to meet good, kind, and loving women, and I pray that both of them be good, kind, and loving men to these women they find.
