Once my daughter ran up to me and with tears in her eyes asked me to leave her at home. I did not immediately understand what she meant. And then I understood and I felt embarrassed. My mother-in-law was setting her daughter against her future brother. She told her that when he is born, my husband and I will abandon our daughter. – Mom, is it true? You love me, right?” my daughter cried. I tried to calm her down. My daughter was 5 years old. She had long been asking for a sister or brother to keep her from being bored. But her mother-in-law spoiled everything.
When they were walking, the mother-in-law said to her: “You know that when your brother is born, you will move to live with me. So you have to choose the toys that you want to take with you.” – It’s not true, mom and dad love me. They will not give me to you, – the girl answered her surprised. When my daughter was telling me the conversation with her grandmother, I really wanted to call and put her in her place. What right did she have to talk to my daughter like that. I hugged my daughter. We talked to each other for a long time. I convinced her that we love her and will never give her to anyone.
– You know, your future brother is the happiest child in the world. Because he will have such a smart and beautiful sister like you. You’ll love him, won’t you? – Of course. I’ll protect him and play with him. “I will teach him to shoot a slingshot,” my daughter told me cheerfully. I fed my daughter and put her to bed. When my husband returned, I talked to him seriously about his mother.
He did not wait for the morning, he immediately called his mother. He asked her not to talk nonsense anymore and no one was going to give her the child. The mother-in-law was angry. She said she would not come to us anymore. – I am here with all my heart. I care about the girl, and you do this to me, right? Well, okay, I will not come to you anymore and I will not look after the girl. Don’t even think about asking me to. My mother-in-law and I haven’t spoken since that day. She came only for her grandson’s discharge. We made peace with her, but I did not leave my children anymore.
