My husband Paweł and I lived happily and carefree. My husband had a great job and a high salary.

Real-Life. "I'm the only one supporting my family": Despite this, my husband is planning to bring his mother-in-law over

I didn't even have to think about money, I worked in a good company, but in a low position. My children wouldn't let me move on: one was sick, another had a dentist, a third one had training, my husband was going on a business trip and we were traveling somewhere else again.

One day, Paweł was fired. He was fired because he “couldn't cope”. The man fell into depression and couldn't find a new job. He was offered simpler positions, but he couldn't take them anymore. It wasn't a respectable job, but wiping your pants on the couch was respectable.

After a few months of Paul's “job hunting” I realized that I couldn't count on my husband and decided to develop my career. I gave my husband all the household chores. He resisted, but I threatened him with divorce.

I had hoped that this would encourage him to look for a job. But even here my hopes were not fulfilled. One day my husband called me to talk. He hesitated for about five minutes before he exclaimed:

-Why don't you let my mother move in with us? She won't be bored and it will be easier for us with the children – he said. I was surprised. – Let my mother live with us – he said – It's a win-win situation for both parties.

I looked around the kitchen. I wondered where Paul was going to put Anna. We live in a spacious, but still three-room apartment. And there are five of us. Will she sleep in the kitchen? And I generally don't see any benefits to having my mother-in-law come. How will she help us? Will she snap at me in the evenings when I come back from work tired? Will she expect the kids to eat all sixes? Will she bring your husband treats on his favorite sofa?

-First find a job, and then we'll talk about your mother moving. And that's on the condition that she sells her apartment at home and buys it here. If she wants to help us so much, she won't refuse. He won't be living in our apartment – I said, watching my husband's face turn red – And since you don't have a job, remember that Dominik has a training trip next week and we have to buy clothes for Karol, everything is on the list.

My husband got up in silence and went to our room, looking like a big suffering, beaten dog, and then he didn't talk to me for several days. But he did the housework, and I still haven't gotten over this conversation. I have to think of a way to make him stop bothering me with household matters, calling my mother to take care of it.

Of course I love my husband, but this attitude is starting to tire me out. If nothing changes in the near future, I will have to change something.
