ANOTHER BABY ABANDONED IN THE BUSH

The abandoned baby

It's becoming increasingly annoying to hear of babies being abandoned for dead in horrible places. For Godsake, there are people who will gladly adopt these babies. A baby boy who appears to be less than 24 hours old and neatly wrapped was found abandoned in a deserted path surrounded by shrubs around 7am on Monday, November 26, 2012, along Ikorodu -Itokin road, close to the popular Lucky Fibre bus-stop, Ikorodu, by passers-by who heard the cries of a baby.

Sympathisers quickly rushed to the scene but there was no  written note or inscription left by who ever left the baby there.  The innocent baby was immediately taken to Shagamu road Police Division, Ikorodu and then to an orphanage. So unfair, considering there are people out there who would do anything to have a child of their own or even adopt one.

Odemwingie’s wife, Sarah, is due to give birth less than a fortnight before the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa in January. Osaze is hoping the arrival of the baby won’t affect his involvement, "You can’t predict what will happen but I hope for a scenario where it will be easy. "The due date is about 10 days before the African Cup of Nations. Babies can be late, or early, but in this case I pray it’s earlier so everything will go smoothly." he said. 

The couple got married in May this year. Big congrats to them. I'm sure that baby will be too cute!

MY HUSBAND SHUTS DOWN AND STOPS SPEAKING TO ME FOR DAYS AND I DON'T KNOW WHY

From a RDB reader;

I’ve been married to my husband for almost 2 years. We have a baby girl and we are raising his son from a previous relationship. For the most part we’re happy. We have a great friendship and we have fun together. He can always make me smile and vice versa.

The problem is he gets in these moods and will be pretty cold to me at random. He shuts down, won’t really interact with me, stays in another room of the house and has me wondering what I did to deserve it. After about 4 days of treating me like a roommate, he’ll tell me what it is and it’s always something that seems so trivial to me.

Once he ignored me for a week because I left the peanut butter on the counter. When I find out why he’s acting like that I almost always get mad because I feel like it’s stupid to waste so much time being mad over nonsense. Life is too short. However, I know he has a hard time with expressing himself and that’s how his mother who raised him acts.

It’s Thursday night and he’s had an attitude with me since Sunday afternoon. How do I get him to talk about what’s bothering him and how do I ride the rollercoaster until he’s ready to talk?
