...if your mother and your wife were drowning, I wonder which one you will be saving. As for me Kitchner I am well holding onto my mother and my wife she will have to excuse me, for you can get another wife, but you can not get another mother in my life... (A calypso song by Lord Kitchener)
Which one would you be saving...

...I was listening to the song with my friend and he said he would assist his wife to drown fast and save his mother...
...Do you ever think about situations like these...?

I do; and I prey to God that he'd give me the presence of mind to save my wife. I truly believe that I'd save her and not my mother. But belief is one and action another; that's why I ask God to give me the strength to act as I believe. Yes; you can get another wife, but not another mother. However, do you realise that there is a high likelyhood that you will have many more years with your wife than with your mother? Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

Just the same way your mother has other children.
Okay i think it is tempting to save my mother first because yeye ni damu and my flesh. i am not related to my wife.

what do you mean you aint related to your wife. personally i'd ask the almighty never to put me in such a situation, for, it would be a no-brainer. adios amigo wifey. what if you had to save either your SON or DAUGHTER?? ....

I would save whoever i grab first.... eg, if the river is flowing, and carrying them both, I will put out my hand and whoever is saved i would be as grateful as if it were the other. Wife/mother, husband/father..... eeeeeh, the instinct would be to save your parent... and i think its the primary instinct for any human being... the choice you make is a different story... Very high chances that i will go by instincts.... @Mukiha does it really matter who you are going to live the longest with? Does it even matter if whoever you save is going to die the next day? I hope you are talking about your real mother, not a step mother.

Yes, indeed I have no relation with my wife, otherwise how would I have married her. I can can get another wife easily but you cant get another mother, never again.

You haven't stated the circumstances - but it was a stricken vessel with only 2 life-saving choices 2 be made, I would let the lives of my mum and wifey be saved.

Instinct will kick in, you cant save your mother if only the three of you are stuck in some unknown island and you have to save wife or mum, however if your house in Nairobi is burning and you can only save one, then you have a dilema Ras Kienyeji Man

@wendz...wacha kufanya life ikuwe hard! its a cruel decision either way.
BTW, I fear for men if the question was posed to their women - i.e how many women would rescue their husbands instead of their own mums?
HINT: If you peruse the personnel records at a good number of work places, the next of kin/ beneficiaries records HR has been given by some married women do not even begin to mention the hubbie...

Assume its not a river or drowning situation (Yaani Maana, ya ije) and its any life threatening situation including torture where you have to save either, who would it be.
Definitely Mum; Without even Thinking Twice

When you ask sons about their mothers it is realy a forgone conclusion where their preference will be inclined to - the little psychology I know blames it on OEDIPUS COMPLEX
