It's no secret that in marriage it's not always easy for a daughter-in-law to get along with her mother-in-law.

From real life. "My mother-in-law said I should give my grandmother's apartment to my sister-in-law": I was most struck by my husband's reaction

My mother-in-law had two daughters-in-law, me and Iza. Iza and I were friends — unfortunately. Our mother-in-law was constantly scolding us, both to our faces and behind our backs.

She didn't like the fact that her sons spent money on their wives, and not on their own mother and sister. Her mother-in-law believed that her sons should support her and her daughter for the rest of their lives. That was true, but with the arrival of wives, money transfers became rare.

Recently, Iza came to me and said:

-Ola, you're really giving your sister-in-law an apartment?

-Why would I do that?

-I saw Krystyna today. She yelled at me and then threw me out of the house. She told me I was a terrible daughter-in-law, that I didn't give them anything, but you gave them the whole apartment.

My grandmother died a month ago and left me an apartment. We recently paid off the mortgage, so now I have two apartments. I came home after meeting Iza and I didn't understand what was happening. There stood my husband, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law.

-Can't you see we're late? My husband didn't warn you?

-What was he supposed to warn me about?

-We're going to the notary.

It turned out that my mother-in-law decided that I didn't need the apartment my grandmother left me. So I had to transfer it to my brother's forty-year-old sister, who had never earned anything in her life. The most surprising thing was my husband, who agreed with his mother.

My mother-in-law started threatening me with divorce. That's when I told them I'd do it myself. Now her son will live on his half. I don't need such a rag. I'll sue him for my half and live in peace with myself and for myself. Iza called me recently, whose mother-in-law also brought her to tears, and now she wants to divorce her husband.

Take a look: From life. “She decided to teach her daughter-in-law a lesson”: She sold her share of the apartment where her son's family lived
