A year ago, my family & I moved from Abuja to Lagos. It didn’t take us long to realize that the rules for love in these 2 cities were different.

She was middle aged and had this look of disdain seeing me changing my son, and she said... "...Why is Daddy doing Mummy's Job? Please give the baby to his mother". This wasn't my first time experiencing this, where some older women just assume incompetence once they see me involved or perceive my wife as being spoilt and conclude that I'm weak or controlled
