Being Married To A Nigerian Is Hard Sometimes. Need Some Advice




I have been married to a Nigerian man for nearly 8 years (i am turkish but  born and bred in Belgium) and we have 2 lovely kids,   we are quite happy together and love each other very much
However i have a couple of issues with his family that lives in Nigeria, (we live in the uk)  they ask for money too much,  they rely on my husband too much for money and i just can’t take it no more

I only work part time and my husband works 6 days a week,  he literial ly works his socks of. we hardly get to see each other,  we have got bills to pay and are just managing  our bills,   we hardly go on holiday and its just not fair,  all because he is supporting grown up people

His mum was here a month ago and it was just a nightmare,   i took her shopping sometimes and she would just put everything in trolley and it got to a point that my husband stopped me from shopping with her,  i paid for her eyetest and gave her a lot of clothes and much more,  it was her first time in the uk and she had never seen her grankdkids

She wasn’t even en interested to play with them the only thing she wanted to do is sit down and watch nollywood or go shopping and spend our money,  she wouldn’t do any housework or cooking even though she knows i don’t know how to cook Nigerian food,

and when we dropped her off at the airport she did not even say goodbye to me and the  kids,  she just walked of with my husband and said bye withouth looking at us

is this normal in yoruba culture?
