My mother-in-law has been unrecognizable for half a year.
She doesn't even stutter about her daughter anymore, whom she used to cite as an example at every opportunity. It's as if she's cut herself off. And it was all because of my sister-in-law, who, tired of her “happy family life”, packed up her things, left her husband and child, and moved to the other end of the country to live with her new husband.
From the first days of our family life, I had heard about my husband's golden sister, what a capable housewife, a wise and beautiful woman she was. Unfortunately, I was not lucky, we lived close to my mother-in-law, so I had the dubious pleasure of seeing my husband's mother almost every day. Of course, she couldn't come to me in peace. She had to poke her nose into everything and then give a natural verdict that I was doing everything wrong.
My mother-in-law didn't compare me to herself, because I could always tell that times were different. My mother-in-law had another advantage – her daughter was a master of needles and a housewife. She never cooked for the future, only if she did, she made semi-finished products herself, but she always had fresh food – first, second and compote, and on weekends she baked, because my husband really respected fresh cookies.” – You don't have time to cook anything now, you always have soup for the week, or pasta and dumplings for dinner. But my daughter loves her husband, takes care of him. At least someone was lucky with their wife” – my mother-in-law never had enough reproaches.
I didn't have any negative feelings towards my sister-in-law, we never really saw each other. And when she's always busy cleaning, cooking, taking care of the baby, ironing men's socks (why iron them at all?). “Oh, I don't know how you'll live if you have a child… You'll be completely covered in dirt if you don't bother to clean in your free time. My daughter washes the floors every day and can walk barefoot, while you only wear slippers.”
She found a man from the other side of the country through correspondence, wrote to him for six months, and then filed for divorce. Her husband wanted to keep her because of the child, taking her to court, but the daughter-in-law didn't resist, agreed to pay alimony. And then she packed her bags and left for her new husband.
Of course, this is a controversial act and can be judged from different points of view, but I am not ready to judge my sister-in-law. If she really did everything the way her mother-in-law said, it would be crazy. There was daily cleaning, weekly baking, and a three-course meal. I think this person was pushing herself too hard. But my husband's sister did me an invaluable favor because in almost six months, my mother-in-law has not made a single comment to me. Not once did she say anything about what a bad housewife I am and how unlucky her son is with his wife.
