From Life. “My Soul Suffered for My Son”: Mother-in-law Cries, Bringing Food Only to Him

Since last week, my mother-in-law has not been allowed in our apartment, she is driving me to the brink of a breakdown, I have no patience for her.

She knows that we are struggling with money right now, so instead of helping us, she came up with the idea of ​​feeding her son. She brings him one portion of food so he doesn't go hungry. Her heart aches for her son, but she feels nothing for her grandchildren and has never brought them even an apple.

My husband and I don't live very richly now, but there's nothing we don't eat. Of course, we can't afford marbled beef, but we don't eat empty soups either. We eat normally, we even buy treats for the kids from time to time. But my mother-in-law thinks that my kids and I eat too much, and we chase her beloved son away from the fridge with an old broom.

I'm currently on maternity leave with my youngest child, and we still have a year left until kindergarten. My older son goes to kindergarten and starts school next year. My husband is the only one in our family who works. Having two children may seem reckless when money is tight, but when we decided to have a second child, the situation was completely different. My husband had a good job, but the company started to fall apart after the quarantine, and last year it finally went bankrupt.

My husband was forced to urgently look for something new, because I was already on maternity leave and we had no other sources of income. Eventually, I could return from maternity leave, but my salary could not change much. It was very difficult for six months, but we managed. And then my friend offered my husband a job in their company.

The career prospects there are very interesting, but we had to start from scratch. But even that was better than the job my husband found at that time. Now the situation in our family has improved. We pay our utility bills without delay and buy the products we need, not the ones with the biggest promotion.

It's gradually getting better, but life can't be perfect. Half a year ago, my husband's sister, who was previously the center of my mother-in-law's attention, got married. My daughter was fed up with her mother's care, so she almost ran in front of the train that was taking her and her husband away from this woman…

Now the active mother-in-law's attention was focused on us. She saw that we were struggling financially. She drew very strange conclusions from this situation. She decided that she had to feed her starving son. So the caring mother started bringing him food. Of course, I can live without my mother-in-law's cutlets, but it looks very strange. She comes to visit us, brings a container with two cutlets and mashed potatoes, gives it to her son and with tears in her eyes asks him to eat properly because her soul is aching.

A loving grandmother won't bring her grandchildren even one apple for two, because she doesn't have a heart for them. The husband refuses to accept his mother's alms, saying that he eats well and there's no need to feed him, especially in such a strange way, but that doesn't stop the mother-in-law. She's a mother, she knows better than anyone that her son is malnourished.

Once I couldn't help myself and asked her why she only brought food to her son. I'm fine, I don't need to be fed, but my son has children, her grandchildren, by the way.

– Actually, I'm a pensioner, I don't have money to feed your whole family – the mother-in-law immediately intervened, although no one asked her to feed us all. From the outside, it just looks strange. As if her grandchildren were strangers to her, and only her son was her relative.

A week ago, my mother-in-law outdid herself. She secretly suggested that my husband lie to me that he was sent on a business trip, and in reality, he should move in with her. Her argument was: “at least you'll eat and sleep well.” Of course, my husband refused, I know everything, so my mother-in-law was informed that from now on she is persona non grata in our house.

She is not interested in her grandchildren, and she can meet her son somewhere else. I don't want to look at her at all. My husband is not happy with my decision, but he understands, my mother-in-law is offended and now takes my son's lunches to work. My husband is already at the boiling point, so we'll see how much patience he has. But I already know who will be to blame for everything, according to my mother-in-law.
