In a video on X, the elderly woman encouraged young ladies in such a category to wake up early and do all the house chores even before the members of the household get out of bed.

"When your boyfriend invites you for a sleep over at his parent's house, wake up early. As a lady hoping to get married to him, you wake up between 3:30 am and 4 am to sweep and clean the kitchen, hall and every other place that must be tidied."

"When you are done, you check the bathroom and scrub the place. After that, wash the dirty clothes of your boyfriend. Go to your mother-in-law and ask her if she has any dirty clothes. If she responds in the affirmative, take her dirty clothes too and wash them. Do the same for your sisters-in-law. You are doing all these because you want the man," she added.

The woman claimed that if a young lady exhibits such humility, the potential mother-in-law will push for the son to marry the person.

However, several people in the comment section disagreed with her.

@SamKwasiBoateng said:

"As always the wisdom is in balancing both sides. You may not be able to wake up at 4 am but 9 am is probably not a wise time, especially in your in-law's house. There's a place for disrupting and a place for adapting."
