Question of the day....

A LIB reader sent in the question. See below and tell us who you would save and why...
Imagine your mum left your dad when you were just 8 months old because he had no money. Your dad remarried a lady because he needed someone to take care of you. Unfortunately she couldn't bear your dad a child, she dedicated her entire time looking after you. Due to the financial state of the house, your step mum sold all she had so that she could sponsor your education. Luckily you graduated as a medical doctor, own you your hospital. One day an emergency occurred due to an accident which involved your biological mother and your step mother, your hospital was the nearest and obviously a good one, so both were brought in. You can only attend to one patient at a time being the only doctor on duty. Who will you give priority to? Your biological mum / or your step mum? (The situation permits you to choose just one, both losing blood profusely.

Its not abt anything else,

But for the love and care,
The prayers she said,
The advises she gave.

This is not supposed to b a question or a problem, cus a woman or any parent who abandons her child is not to b a mother and a mother is that women who gave up every thing for u. More over treat people how u want to b treated n it is actually very best if people get a taste of there medicine to know how betrayer. feels like. I will treat my step mom without thinking twice

Anonymous said...

My step mother. I will choose her. She did not walk away from me, she nurtured me with the care my own biological mother could not. It's only natural I treat her, so that she can reap the fruits of her labour on me.

Remember there are times friends have proven themselves worthy in our lives than family. Those friends are true family, even though not blood related.

I think the attention should be given to your step mum. Nemesis has just caught up with your biological mother. Its time for her to start paying her dues for abandoning you. Kudos to step mum, she is d one to be called mummy.

My step mum definitely! I will detail some one else to attend to my mum. Being family is more than pregnancy for 9 month and labour pains. The one who risked everything to see me thru life obviously should mean more to me than the one who ran away from the same situation under Which I was raised by my stepmum. It's that simple.

If she left my dad nd abandoned me becos she was forced to.......dats a different thing....but if she worked out on her own...without considering me.....den.....she made d choice already










Moye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB....

Anonymous said...

A mum is one who plays the role of a mum when u needed it it most. Not necessarily the one that pused u out of her womb. It can take anybody to do just that. Child bearing wihout intention, commitment and dedication to care for the child is meaningless. To me, ur mom is the one that gave u care when u most needed it. She is also the one that need ur help at this point in time.

I will attend to my step mum, she is the real definition of a mother, without her sacrifice of love for me I won't have become the medical doctor in the story.
I am a mum in real life and it takes more than giving birth to a child to be called a mother, there is a lot that defines whom a mother is, not just having the womb that bore the child.

This question is absurd sort of because an 8 months old infant who was dumped by its biological mother cannot recognize her when grown. Only the step mum is recognizable and she would be the 1st to be saved because all his medulla intete registers the step mum as his real mum...its natural

Hmmm that's kinda a difficult situation, found my self in similar scenes like dt smtimes, it neva gets easy to decide, but a situation lik dis Without any hesitation, my stepmum wud be tended to 1st. lol story of my life, ....My biological mum left us when I was barely about 2yrs old. My dad later remarried after struggling with caring for 4 kids for a while. she had to even quit her teaching job which she loved sooo much to raise us to be d men and women dat we are today and I love her with every bit of me. she is a realist, highly intellectual, tough and wouldn't watch and see u go astray on the wrong path, and dats exactly d same way she raised her own kids too (my younger siblings). Most time we fail to recognise the act that a mother isn't just about bringing a child into dis cruel world, and raising a female child aint can be a handful. well today Im well behaved, well respected and cultured, intelligent and also a realist like her. Even d loving man im married to today is all thanks to her becos I somehw misplaced my priorities at some point, trying to decide wat I tot was best but thank God she was there to set me right, how all that Glitters aint Gold. Everything that I learnt as a growing woman I learnt from my stepmum and till tomorrow I still seek advice from her wen needed hence, my biological mum comes next after my stepmum cos she knows me better than any1 else. I tell ppl she's my mum and no one knows she's my step, that's how close we are...Don't get me wrong,ill attend to my biological mum after my stepmum, like im the one taking care of her now, but, she comes next in line after my stepmum. Though I feel blessed having two mothers and very grateful to God :)

The word family doesn't only apply to blood relations. If my biological mum was strong enough to leave me when i was just 8 months old, then i would be super strong enough to attend to the one that showed me so much love irrespective of the fact that she wasn't financially buoyant before any other person or mum.

My opinion.
