Mom Snubbed My Omugwo Because My Husband Wasn’t Wealthy—Now She Wants Back In

I’m expecting my second child, and my mother has suddenly reached out to do Omugwo after years of silence. She refused to help during my first pregnancy because my husband wasn’t financially stable. We lived in a one-bedroom apartment with AC, but she chose to stay with my sister whose husband was wealthier. When I gave birth, she barely acknowledged it, and the hurt was real. My sister-in-law stepped in to care for me instead. After my husband lost his job and spent over a year learning a new trade, I ran a small business with help from my sister. My mother never checked on us then, having once opposed our marriage. Now that our situation has improved, I’ve decided to rely on my sister-in-law again.
