A married woman has taken to social media to express distress after her husband reportedly accused her of being unfair in how she treats her 12-year-old nephew who lives with them.

The story, shared on by Ngozi Lovelyn Channel, detailed how the disagreement began during a family meal.

According to the woman, she and her children were having tea and bread when her husband asked why the nephew was not included. She explained that the boy was still doing chores at the time and that, in her view, the meal was meant only for her immediate family.

She further stated that certain foods—particularly tea and bread—are reserved for her children due to financial constraints.

Her husband reportedly challenged this decision, questioning why the boy was being excluded and asking how often he eats daily. The disagreement then escalated into a heated argument between the couple.

In her words: “My husband is accusing me I am a wicked person… My nephew is staying with me. He is 12 years old. So I was drinking tea and bread with my children so husband asked me why is my nephew not joining us. I told him he is yet to finish his work and too he shouldn’t be drinking tea in my house, tea is expensive to be sharing to an outsider, it’s for my children.

He asked me what is the nephew going to eat, I told him he will eat in the afternoon. He asked me how many times does the boy eat in a day, I told him he should be eating 2 times, no one eats 3 times.

I told my husband I don’t like the questions he is asking me, only for him to say I am wicked I maltreat my nephew. This boy does not starve. Just that there are foods he can’t be eating in my house. Tea and bread is expensive. I won’t be giving it to him and my husband is saying am wicked. Is there anything wrong in not giving my nephew tea. He is my nephew noe even his.”
