“I feel like running away from this marriage”- Young mother of twins cries out

A young Nigerian mother has stirred reactions online after sharing the overwhelming challenges she faces managing her household as a mother of twin boys, with little support from her husband.

Overwhelmed by Household Duties

According to the lady, she is responsible for all the cooking, cleaning, and childcare in her home.

She revealed that her husband refuses to hire maids or allow anyone else to live with them, leaving her to handle everything on her own.

She described the constant pressure of preparing meals twice a day and catering to her husband’s changing food preferences, all while caring for her twin boys.

Exhausted and Seeking Relief

The lady also shared the difficulties of running errands alone, such as going to the market with the twins, and the emotional strain it causes her.

She admitted that the stress has affected her mental health, leaving her lost in thoughts and considering reaching out to her parents for support.

She wrote: “How do u guys even do it I need to vent. Cooking, cleaners, taking care of babies. I am a mom of twin boys. My husband said he does not want maids or anyone living with him except for only us. I cook twice a day. My husband will never repeat food. I am the one always cooking. Yesterday I made egusi soup and he started saying this salt is much and asked I make spaghetti. Note if the kids are crying he will not help. He will be saying be fast and come get them kids. I woke up this morning and I feel like running away leaving the kids for him. He said he wants moi moi and driving alone to the market with the twin is always hard for me. He hasn’t restock so no beans at home. I will back one and carry one in my hands roaming the market. I am tired & I feel like speaking to my parents at this point. This marriage has caused me my sanity I am always lost in thoughts.”
