I don’t understand why mothers-in-law are always spoiling relations with their daughters-in-law. Isn’t it better to settle everything and live in peace? It’s the son’s choice, you have to respect it. You’re not happy with your son’s choice? It means that the son was brought up in the wrong way, if he chose a foolish daughter-in-law. Mother-in-law complains that they do not communicate with their grandchildren, they do not invite them to visit, and this is a result of their efforts. That’s exactly what today’s story is about.
“I am the kind of daughter-in-law who is considered a non-poop. A provincial from a poor family, with no apartment and noble parents. However, even at the first meeting I realized that even if I had the money – we would not get along with my mother-in-law.
Alina lived with her son. She also has a daughter, but she does not run after her like that. My father-in-law was in the house instead of furniture – nobody counted with him.
Adam was dragged everywhere with her by her mother-in-law. She couldn’t even choose a dress without her son. She giggled if the sales clerks complimented her and asked what kind of a husband she had. She would have married her son to one of them instead of me. Especially since Adam had less free time with me, so the jealousy kicked in.
My relative thinks I do everything wrong. Cooking, washing, ironing, dressing. And my husband doesn’t like the fact that his mom gets all over the place. If before he put up with it, now he wants to live his own life. I want peace and quiet.
If Adam doesn’t call his mother-in-law once in a day, she comes to visit. She feels that her son must regularly inquire about his mother’s health and ask how she is doing. Even when she is just bored, she calls him. My mother and I call once a week, because what’s the point of talking about nothing every day?
My patience lasted a year. When I found out I was pregnant, I brought up the issue of moving. My husband agreed. True, my parents were upset, but it’s the only way out. After all, if the baby is born, Alina will move in at all and put me in jail with their advice.
It is true what they say, that a smart mother-in-law gains a daughter, and a foolish one loses a son. Let her communicate with Adam by video link now, but I won’t let her come to our house. I feel bad after every meeting with my mother-in-law, and I don’t need it now. In general I made my conclusions – I will be an adequate and loving mother-in-law. I promise.
