My wife’s name is Maria. We have been married for almost five years. Everything is good with us, except for one thing: all this time her mother has not allowed us to live in peace. When I first met Maria, everything was fine. We visited her often, and when we got married, we invited her to visit us. Then everything changed overnight. She started calling whenever she wanted, sometimes in the middle of the night when we had to go to work early in the morning. She often came to visit uninvited and unannounced, and constantly demanded that we tell her about our day and what our plans for the future were. Maria hinted to her mother several times that she should give her a warning before coming to see us. After all, it’s easy to call and say that she’s coming over.
But her mother-in-law was offended for some reason. She said that we were ungrateful people and did not want her to come to us. I don’t understand why she behaves like this. After all, she lives well, she has her own apartment with all the amenities. She has many friends. Maybe she misses us, but we also want to relax. You come home from work tired, and you have guests at home. And two days ago, on Sunday, at six in the morning, Maria called me and was surprised that we were still sleeping. It turned out that she had cut her finger on her right hand, and she told her daughter that she couldn’t do anything.
She needed to go to the store urgently. And to cook something to eat. Mom needs help. Maria asked her mother to take a picture of the cut finger to see how bad it was. A minute later, the wife called her mother back and said that it was just a scratch, no urgent help was needed. And on Sunday, she wanted to sleep in. After that, the mother-in-law started sending us indignant voice messages. Once again, an ungrateful daughter does not help her mother. How can you explain to your mother-in-law that she is doing the wrong thing? That her annoying presence and endless calls at any time of the day interfere with a peaceful life.
