Dear LIB readers: Should I accept money from my mother-in-law?

From a male LIB reader
I am a married man with a beautiful wife and a one year old baby. I recently lost my job without prior notification. I have very little savings to fall back on but my mother-in-law who is very rich says she would be sending me money for my family upkeep. I expected her to give money to her daughter but she's insisting on giving it to me. Should I accept the offer or not, knowing fully well how women can be when they start giving you small change?

  2. Why must she give u the money??? She should send her own daughter to u nah.. Well she might wanna do that out of a good heart of hers, perhaps it might not be what u think... Accept it from her.

  3. I won't say don't collect, u.might collect fir a while but intensify efforts to get independent.. there is no free meal anyway. Don't lose ur authority cos of ojukokoro.. do it for a while that's if u really need to. But get urself out of such arrangement fast cos it just wrong.

  4. Better accept it but know ur limits. She means well, that I am sure of.

  6. hmmm, this is a very tricky situation. Discuss with you wife, whatever you conclude together, that's what you should do. No matter the decision reached, if this issue is raised in future, then you know it was an agreement between you and your wife. all da best!

  8. U can accept it nw since nothing is attached to it and u re in need of help...,may God help u

  9. Its actually very complex, if you both have bonded very well i.e you've built a firm personal relationship you can accept, however i wouldn't advise she be the first option explore all other areas and try to sustain on your savings on the interim. However try and work things out to see how she gives to your wife(her daughter). I think she will come around somehow but most importantly don't make it obvious you want her to give it through your wife/ you're rejecting her offer (she can come in handy). You will get a very good job soon, stay put & keep praying.

  10. You know better the kind of woman she is,if she's good,accept it,if she's not so good,try to find a job soonest (in both scenarios),if need be,accept,but be wary....May God give you a better job

  21. Plz accept it... she offered u,u ddnt ask 4 it,gone r d days u reject money frm ur inlaws cos of ridicule.. u hv no choice 4 nw,,,at least till tins get better

    ReplyDelete
  22. Haha... it's a yes and a no. Maybe she wants to be giving you money and not your wife because you are the head of the family and it could be the other way round. So you know what? Bow your head and ask God for direction. But, why do we have this kind of topic here tho? First to comment? Who cares?

    ReplyDelete
  23. my advice is that you go out and hustle... he who pays the bills detects the pace... a word is enough for the wise.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Ha!

    How much?
    Are u Married to the daughter with true love?
    What did she do to get the money?
    Do u have plans to get jobs soon or other soources of income?

    Now what u have to do is to go and open a joint account with ur wife,let the money always come into that account and the moment u get a job and u have money,start paying back her money and tell her u saw the money as a loan and that u just have to refund her.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Guy go hustle abeg!!! Free the women, hustle hard $ stop giving urself false hope, even u sef won't have rest of mind collecting from her except you don't have conscience. All the best my brother + be prayerful too,matters a lot.

    ReplyDelete
  26. U sound very responsible cos so many men these days do not have shame and would gladly grab the money. Take the money from her but tell her you'll pay back when u get a job that way u earn her respect. Even if she asks u not to worry just tell her u regard it as a loan.

    ReplyDelete
  27. You are not serious yet, just wait for about 3months without a job and you will be the one begging for the money. Just collect it now in good faith and invest in a business, God willing if its proficient you can pay her back.

    ReplyDelete
  28. From my own point of view,she has a lot of respect for you.She sees you as the man of the house,that is why she insists on giving the money to you in person, rather than giving it to the daughter,since the money will be used in maintaining your family.This is similar to what my father said during my sister's send forth ceremony.He told my sister that inspite of her affluent background,she should always respect her husband.And if she disobeys her husband or prooves headstrong unreasonably,he will deal with him before the husband starts to deal with him.On the other hand,I pray you find a better paying job.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Since you've already concluded! Stereotyped and genersalised all women as bad, then don't accept.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Men, u better be a man and buckle up. No woman can take charge of your pocket without throwing a big insult to your face on a very good day. Look for another means of income and take care of your family, your a man !!

  32. Talk 2 ur wife about it...period!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Do not accept the money directly from her but advise that she gives it to her daughter.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Since you already know how women can be when they start giving men money, don't accept now. Maybe next time u'il remember to save no matter how small.

    ReplyDelete
  35. u cn since u dint beg 4 d money

    ReplyDelete
  36. You actually are a man with a lot of egoistical problem,"when women start giving you small change"..Nevertheless,don't accept the money,let her give to her daughter.

    ReplyDelete
  37. My dear Insist she sends them to her daughter,and the more reason you should buckle up in getting a new job.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hmm. If your pride is too big , no. If you have immediate things to take care of, use the money.

  41. If she's so wealthy then she may be connected. Tell her to help you find a job or a loan for business instead of daily handouts.

    ReplyDelete
  42. not all women change but i wldnt advice u depend on her. It jst doesnt seem right. You need 2focus on gettin back on ur feet en meeting yur family needs. Collectin from ur in law myt jst hold u dwn. Good Luck

    ReplyDelete
  43. U can accept, but find a job asap, so u dnt depend on heR foR long.

  44. If your Mother in law is a God fearing person, i think u shd collect the money.

  45. Der is actually no big deal abt it since its nt as if u re a lazy man or sometin,u obviously lost ur job.but come to tink of human nature wc is unpredictable,meaning ur in-law might eida ve a gud intention or a bad one,so by playing safe dat means U̶̲̥̅̊ ve to refuse d money,its beta U̶̲̥̅̊ collect 4rm ur own family dan 4rm ur in-laws.if U̶̲̥̅̊ want ur respect b a man en go out der to source 4 money.may God help U̶̲̥̅̊ to stand on ur feet again.

  47. Guy respect urself o....don't even think of taking a kobo from her... tomorrow she would tell d whole world how she saved ur sorry ass... moreover, ur wife too go make some statements with time and her friends go know

    ReplyDelete
  48. Guy.wateva u do, never ever collect a dime from her.i had d same experience wit my mother-in-law and cos of dat today I'm separated from d mother of my kid cos of d drama dat arose eventually.

    ReplyDelete
  49. You are right.Most though not all women misbehave when they give men money.You know your wife better,but if she is like most women i forsee her telling you at the least provocation ''my mum picked you from the gutter''!.
    I advise you try and simplify your taste,spend only on neccessities,intensify your search for another job.If you are left with no other option than to collect money from her,then insist politely that it should be a loan. Use it to start business no matter how small and pay her back later.My dear,your mother in- law may have good intentions but bear in mind that a woman's financial help to a man is a greek gift.good luck.

  57. Pls don't! If you do she will always make negative reference to it in the future rather insist she gives her daughter or help you in securing you another job. God will help through this challenging period in Jesus Name

    ReplyDelete
  58. Here u are jobless yet u are already proud. She doesn't want to give her daughter as a mark of respest since u ar d head of d house. She is as well as ur mother unless u don't c her as one. If it wr to be ur mother wld u av complaint? How do women behave? DroP ur Pride and enjoy ur goody bag.

  59. lol@ small change....
    xo y didn't u save enough small change?
    small change dat u need to survive....idiot

    ReplyDelete
  60. Please don't collect money from her.. That will be the beginning of depreciation in that house. Go and look for a job, work hard God will help you. Note; she might have ulterior motives but you wont know. Good luck.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Hmmm. Why can't she give you capital to look for small biz to run or something. If you start collecting from her, ol' boy, u will then be at her every beck and call. In tems of the fac that she will in no short time be your master. Respect yaself.

    ReplyDelete
  62. For now pls accept the money but endeavour to strive to get another job so that you can stop receiving money from her and start giving her back without her noticing (in form of gifts). Goodluck

    ReplyDelete
  63. Tell her to link you up with people that can help you get a new job instead. She can give her daughter money, no big deal with that

    ReplyDelete
  64. Mumu small change Abi....wit dat kinda attitude u beta bless God, u even have someone willing to help. Anyways, I guess she's giving it to u and not her dauta cos u d head of d family (wit a stupid attitude I might add) and she respects dat fact. But, u guys should have a sit down, and assure her dat its not a hand out, dat once u get on ur feet, u'd pay her back....make sure u guys agree on dat, so u can still maintain ur respect as a man, a father and a provider. And make sure ur wife is involved in d disscussion. And please for d love of God, drop dat silly attitude of urs, ur in need and shouldn't be talking anyhow. And make sure u pay back since u so uncomfy wit collecting money from ur "rich inlaw who can be some way because she wants to give u small change" ungrateful out of work man....Kmt....

  69. NO BIG DEAL MATE! COUNT YOURSELF LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH MOTHER INLAW. JUST MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AFTER HER IF YOUR CONDITION CHANGES........YOUR MOTHER INLAW IS YOUR MOTHER SO DON'T THINK IT'S WRONG TO ACCEPT MONETARY SUPPORTS FROM HER..GOOD LUCK MATE.

  72. Don't do it she can give the money to your wife

    ReplyDelete
  73. Well this is kinda hard , but sincerely there is nothing wrong in it depending on the kind of person you are and who she is. But if you desperately need it,take it. But if i were you i would rather seek a long term help from her like me talking to her to hook me up with another job , or set me up with a nice business (since u said she is very rich)its not manly to keep accepting money from your wife family (mothers especially),it gradually drains your authority as a man because of the way women are sometimes.

  74. That a hard one, you have nothing to loose but tell yourself it's the last time you will do it . if it's possible pay back the money.Lastly send your wife to collect it on your behalf

    ReplyDelete
  75. Please don't collect money from her. One day,someone will remind u how they fed ur family. That's why u are a man; go and hustle. God bless u.

  76. Lol...very sad situation. Wahala dey o....bruv u gotta swallow ur pride, doesn't make u a slave or servant....its just for the meantime till u get going again. Also don't put urslf in the "sorry siutation"....if u know wat I mean

    ReplyDelete
  77. No try am oh! If she really want to help you let her borrow her daughter 3million then take from ur wife and look for business to do with that. Don't let her be sending you money every month that is an insult to your manhood

    ReplyDelete
  78. Collect It is a gift..if u kwn she nt d type of mother who will use it and point at u later in future oo,sum men dnt collect it just bcs they dnt wnt insult frm there mother in law,but sum mother in laws are not like dat. #THATMYADVISE#

    ReplyDelete
  79. Instead of sndin u money monthly 4 d family upkep,I rader advice u 2lk her 2 raise u sumtin reasonable 2 start a busines.u cn even pay her bak whn d biz hs grown.

    ReplyDelete
  80. You're broke, ninja! If you fear giving your mother-in-law too much leverage over your family by accepting the money, take it as a loan and repay in full when you're back on your feet again. Don't starve your family for your pride. Mtchew. You didn't have to use your story to take nasty swipes at women with that "small change" comment. Be grateful for your mother-in-law's generosity. A job loss is a choice between poverty and abject poverty for many people.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Please Bros i advice you insist on her giving it to her daughter if you are collecting from her then collect it as a loan , TRUST ME

    ReplyDelete
  82. It depends on d kind of person she is, but I think she is suppose to give it to her own daughter to give it to u. Anyway, if u REALLY need it I suggest u take it n nt worry abt wht happens later.

    ReplyDelete
  83. She should help you get a job

    ReplyDelete
  84. Why ask us when u know how women can be when they start giving u change? Proud man!

    ReplyDelete
  85. If you are ashamed that your mother-inlaw will insult you later after collecting money which you don't ask of, then why can't you go and make your own money and avoid being insulted? You don't have option and you still espect one to rubb your feelings.

    ReplyDelete
  86. ACCEPT it but as a loan that you will and must pay back when you are back on track ..that way you will retain your respect with them

    ReplyDelete
  87. *small change* Lols

    ReplyDelete
  88. Hey dear bro! You know her better than every1 here ooo, if she's such a loose mouth fellow don't but if she is a nice as her offer pls don't hesitate 2 collect it, and u sld be thankful 4 havin such a mothe-in-law....peace!

    ReplyDelete
  89. Dnt accept o 4 ur own gud n respct

    ReplyDelete
  90. NO 1. for calling her hard earn money that she wants to give a 'small change' shows how foolish you are. No 2. why didnt u have a plan B long b4 your company sacked u hence u wld ve had something to fall back on. NO 3. d woman insists on you cause she wants to be the man and not let your wife disrespect u hence d money is given directly to u. No 4. i think you are just an ungrateful proud church rat. dont collect the money u hear. as if she is not part of your family now and as if u wouldnt pay her back in the future. enough said....

    ReplyDelete
  91. Since u don't have a line of ppl waiting 2 help, accept d money. Repay her with something biGger in d future not necessarily money. I pray a better job comes soon 4 u...tasha!

    ReplyDelete
  92. Personally, i would rather raise money from either my friends or Brother/ Sister....women, the day you misfire ehn, they will tell you the story of your life.

    ReplyDelete
  93. First make sure you have looked for money everywhere else and cut down on your expenses as much as possible. If no luck then you have to accept it as a loan which you WILL pay back. For your own good, your mother inlaw should be the last place you go to for money or help.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Hmmmm Dnt accept it.Go get smtin doing to save urslf frm future embarrassment

    ReplyDelete
  95. Nor just try am! She will use it insult you n your parents in future! Firsthand experience. She should hand it yo her daughter, na den know. Seek help elsewhere! Monthly upkeep kwa, pscheeew!

    ReplyDelete
  96. Collect it now,u dnt hv any option

    ReplyDelete
  97. there's NOTHING wrong with your Mother in-law giving you money..she's your Mother also..and the fact that she chose to give the money to you rather than your wife shows she's a good woman, and that you are the head of the family..take it, its nothing to be ashamed off,....pending while you get back on your feet.

  105. I cant hear you mention about her father. well if he is late and she is insisting on giving you personally, its either she still wants you to be the man in the house or she is in to you oooo.

  114. My brother you need to be very careful when it comes to in-laws. Your mother in-law might mean well for you guys initially but later on she will want to control your home. Why don't you ask her for a loan to start up a business and pay back later instead of she taking care of your upkeep. pls try and be a man and look for something to do.

  115. It depends on ur relationship her and ur wife needs to know about and u should ask ur wife what she tinks about it b4 u make any decision,after all u didn't beg her for it

  117. i'm a woman, i can categorically tell u not to accept. your manhood will be questioned in due time. if she wants, she can give her daughter & even that should be limited. just keep faith & continue the search for another job.

  120. Hello Mr, for the love of God, try not to accept such money at all. She can buy things for her daughter and grandson or even facilitate your getting a job, but not sending you money. Also, try get something to do, no matter how small. It is important for your dignity as a man, not for now but against the unforeseen future. Human minds are unfathomable, don't forget. God bless! Moni

    ReplyDelete
  121. Menh, I feel for u o. It's a tough one cos d woman will never let u forget it. I guess u shd just ask her for a loan instead of taking small-small change from her. Start a biz. If possible.

  125. How has your relationship with your wife, and mother inlaw be since you got married? did your wife aware of the money she promised you? How good are you to you mother in law financially before you lost your job? If all these are fine, then you may take it but you need to prepare your mind to work harder and get another job and when you get it, let your mother inlaw realise that you appreciate her by giving and buying things for her(not too expensive) but which she would appreciate.

  135. I will advice u nt to collect it...dont collect money from her...if she wants to assist u, let her giv it to her daughter. If u start collcting money from her, b4 u knw it she n her daughter will start insulting u dat dey re the one takin care of the family and u will have no say in dat house. U might not be able to control ur anymore coz she might start givin u attitude.

  136. As your mother - in - law, have you ever given her any gift before or after your wedding. If you had, then the matter on ground is real, but if you have never given her any gift, then do not take any money from her. Look for other options.

    ReplyDelete
  137. I will advice u to look elsewhere for support,maybe from friends or ur family members.I don't know why she is insisting on giving the money to u and not her daughter,this might be a gradual attempt to start controlling things in ur family be wise. I pray u get another job real fast,it is well IJN

  138. My dear. Dat was how my mom destroyed my young marriage. My ex-husband continued 2 accept even tho I warned him of how rich mothers can be especially mine. Pls don't collect. Let ur wife be the one 2 collect. And if ur wife loves u, she would always defend u weneva her mother's engine starts 2 run (u kno wot I mean)

  141. Don't let pride becloud ur sense of judgement. She is ur wife's mom afterall. Using it against u 2morow will amt 2 destroying her daughter's happiness. May b she want 2 reason with u on ur plans 1st b4 giving u any money. 2 me, she has a gud plan 4 ur family, hence she didn't want 2 just giv her daughter a handout. Ur wife may know about dis dan u fink, talk with her(ur wife). Gud luck.

  148. it all depends on ur partner..its not all women that misbehave because they are helping their husbands with the bills. i believe its no big deal as long as the man is responsible regardless of he's present position. women are not suppose to be liabilities but help mate as described in the bible. wr are suppose to be the back bones our husbands can fall back on when things go wrong.its no big deal as long as the man continues to strive to make things better. you just have to get it right with your partner

  149. Young man go get that cash, and forget about any side talk, #TeamFamilyFirst

  150. I think your mother in law is positioning you as the head of the family hence offering you the money rather than her daughter.

    ReplyDelete
  151. Only you can take a decision on this. I am to strong hearted or too stubborn to accept money from anybody.
    Don't you have friends that can help out till you can get back on your feet?

  169. You really have to think about it because you'll be the one tearing apart when one day, she wakes up on the wrong side of the bed and dictates to you what you can and can't do. #justsaying#

  170. I dunno.... but why not ask her to help get u a new job since she's very rich

  171. Do not accept money from her. If the money was from ur wife, better cz its for beta for worse. Bt frm ur moda in law hell no. Its shameful and we women will def turn on u one day wrn u refuse to our biddings. It will be a case of afterall i feed ur family and gve u money! Telk her to help yu find a job dts all. Job, yes. Money, NO?

  172. Please don't accept money from your mother in law. Not from your in laws. She's planning to ridicule in the near future. If she feels like helping, let her give it to her daughter

    ReplyDelete
  173. your mother in law knows what she's doing and out of respect for you she's handing the money to you and not her daughter. she does not want her daughter to start disrespecting you that's why. by giving you the money, you can then do as you wish as head of the house.

    ReplyDelete
  174. DON'T TAKE IT OOOOO......... WHEN THE RIDICULE WOULD START, YOU WOULD FEEL LIKE COMMITTING SUICIDE.
