A Nigerian woman has made it clear to ladies on social media that their husband’s mother has more rights in their homes than their own mother.
In a Facebook post, Etie Ngozi mentioned that a woman should accept that her mother-in-law has more power than her biological mother because it is her son’s house.
The fashion model declared that the wife’s mother is also a guest in the couple’s home so she needs to mind what she does in their home.

She added that women should understand that things their mother-in-law would get away with might not be acceptable from their biological mother.
“Realistically your husband’s mother has more right in your house than your mother. Your mum is a guest! This is the truth even tho una no go gree but ogbasarom,” she said.
“Understanding boundaries means understanding that there are things your husband’s mother will get away with in her son’s house that your mother can’t get away with,” she concluded.
Reactions: Both has equal right, and shouldn’t intrude
The young woman’s assertion elicited responses from netizens. While many argued that both mothers have the same right, other agreed with her words. See some comments below;
@Uche Chidube OsagieL: 100% true
@Gift Okafor: None of them have any right in our they’re both our guests
@Amaka Nma: None of them have a right . None . The man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife . The right they have is the one I let them have
@Uju Unique: You are very correct
@Ifiok Jesus: Both are welcomed but, should not intrude. Both has equal right to visit without undue advantage and unholy mission. A godly mother in law knows her boundaries, how to contribute to issues and maintain peace.
@Mauryn Odia Ayoola: My mother-in-law is my mom too they both has equal rights to visit at any time but being toxic and constantly constituting nu!sance in my home is what I will not welcome from any of them.
