Parents-in-law, in the words of Ghana’s best playwright, should treat their son’s wife well, especially if they rely on her spouse.
On TV3’s NewDay, Uncle Ebo Whyte explained that a man’s kindness is dependent on his wife’s thoughtfulness.
When discussing the value of girls with Berla Mundi and Cookie Tee, he noted that they are more family-oriented than sons.
“When you have a son, who calls to check on you. It is because he has a good wife who is prompting him to check on you. ‘Have you called to check on your father?’, ‘Have you heard from your father this year?”
Uncle Ebo Whyte told a story about a man who was adamant about exclusively having female children. His sisters, on the other hand, have been urging him to send money to his ailing parents.
He also stated how many wives give gifts to their husbands’ families without revealing the source of the gift.
“There are men whose families think they are doing well because they send remittance home. What they don’t realize is that it comes from the woman in his name. So sometimes his calls call him and say, ‘Kwadwo thank you. We received your gift,’ then he is confused because quite often he does not know. So, we have that reality, and yet we still go by the archaic mindset.”
