Mummy’s
boy, you are now a man.
Tomorrow you will have a new mother, a new cook and a new person
to share all your secrets with. It will no longer be me but her.
Love your new mum even more than you love me. Before you walk
into her arms forever, let me give you some words to guide you.
There was a day I was arguing with your father. We were
screaming, Tempers were high. I was angry and He was angry. Then I called him
an idiot! He was shocked. He looked at me asking how dare I call him that, immediately
started calling him idiot, fool, stupid, crazy, I called him all sort of name.
Guess what he did? He didn’t raise his hands to hit me. He just
walked away, banging the door as he went out.
My Son, If your father had hit me and destroyed my eyes, how
will you feel sitting here with me today? How will you regard him as your
father?
Would you have been proud of him or would you be blaming me for
calling him names?
*Never hit your wife! No matter the provocation just walk away and things will
be normal.
Whenever she offends you, think of this story I just told you,
it could have been your mum!*
After he left, I was filled with guilt. We slept on same bed that night and I
went to him the next day.
I pleaded with him, I did all I could to show am sorry and he
forgave me. That day I cooked his favourite food. After that day, I never
called him names, my respect for him was ten times stronger.
There is something very important you must always do, my son
listen very carefully, defend your wife. When she is under pressure, stand by
her. If your friends hates her, it is your duty to make them see her as a
Queen. Your Uncle, I mean Uncle Yusuf, never liked me. But your father was
always supportive until his perception changed.
There was a day your Father was going to host the owner of his
company and friends. They were three of them. That day I was in the
kitchen cooking for them and your father went to buy drinks.
When the table was set and food was served. Everyone started eating. Then
Iremembered I did not add salt in the food. I was embarrassed.
Your father tasted the food and looked at me. He immediately
turned to the guests. He told them that he instructed his wife last month not
to add salt whenever she is cooking because of some problem with his body.
He said it in a funny way and everyone laughed! The guests
understood and he asked me to bring salt and everyone added according to their
taste. He managed to eat the food without salt.
After the guest left, he went on his knees and asked God to forgive him for
lying.
Your wife is like a baby, sometimes she don’t know what to say
or do. Stand up and speak for her! Sometimes, read your wife and understand
her. Make it a habit to go anywhere with your wife. Beside your job, move
around with her. If anyone invite you to his house and told you not to
come with your wife then be very careful.
Use wisdom…I know you love mummy… I know you will tell me all
your problems. But now things will be different. Let your wife be the first to
know before me. Let her be the first to see before me. When you have problems
with her don’t run to me immediately. Wait for a day to pass and then
talk to her about it. Pray about it.
Report her to nobody but talk issues out within yourself. Finally,
don’t forget to come and visit me with your wife every month! I know you will
have a happy home.
You will always be mummy’s boy.
Love Mummy
