My husband and I have been married for over six years.

From real life. "My mother doesn't care that I'm about to become a mother for the third time": We're crammed into a one-room apartment

We have two children and basically live well together. The only problem is that our apartment is small. Before we got married, our one-room apartment was quite comfortable for us, but now that our family is expecting a third child, this place will be too small for all of us.

I am now in the late stages of pregnancy, and our youngest son has just started first grade.

Due to time constraints and physical limitations of taking care of both children, we often leave our eldest son with his grandparents. They live in a large private house with a large garden and a small park nearby. But instead of changing this house to a more suitable one for me and my children, my parents decided to enjoy a life of luxury. I have often mentioned that I dream of a house in the country, where my children and I would be much more comfortable. But my mother does not seem to care. She will not give up meeting friends and having breakfast in the garden! And she does not care that I am suffocating in four walls with her grandchildren. I worry that my third child will have to grow up in an environment where there is neither space nor silence. How can we fit the whole family in one room? It is impossible!

My in-laws are no better. They sold their car and decided to spend the money on a vacation. Can you imagine? They could have helped their only son and his pregnant wife, but they thought my parents should support us because they were better off. Now I sit here and realize there is no help. No one cares about my husband, me, or our children. Just a cold, indifferent attitude. Do you think this situation is fair?
