My daughter has been married for 15 years, but at first the children lived in rented accommodation, times were difficult, neither we nor the matchmakers could help with housing. The young people turned out to be perky and refused offers to live with us, they decided to live separately. Well, separately, so separately, live, who will not give you.
It took some time, the daughter in tears, it turned out, the mother-in-law used to go to them, then cook something, then clean, then iron. It would seem, live and be happy, but my daughter for some reason did not rejoice, why is that? So mother-in-law did not just do it all, she clearly reprimanded the son, that the daughter is not able to, that does not do, and in general a mistress is no (in the opinion of a matchmaker). The daughter complained to her husband, who only said: “That’s mom, she wants it better. The daughter did not cross her mother-in-law, she was afraid to spoil her relationship, though, in my opinion, there was nothing to spoil.
Tears shed, but I had to do something. And I began to go to them, as my mother-in-law to them, my daughter calls, and I come. Mother-in-law see hard to manage the household for two houses, why not help a good woman, the more so my defect is that my daughter is a bad mistress. And it became fun, because I do not let her openly mock my daughter, and the real reason to make a reprimand she had no. Son-in-law out of stubbornness walks, though it is clear that I bother her, turns her nose up, but goes.
Further fun, my son-in-law began to tell my daughter that my mother-in-law something plagued. To which the daughter, taught me, said: “Well, my mother wants the best, he sees how your mother is hard, helps. Son-in-law is not a stupid man, he knows how to appreciate his own comfort, he realized that his mother in the house will only be complete with me, and asked me and my matchmaker to go out, saying, thank you parents, but we are somehow ourselves. Come and visit us on holidays, but otherwise we will do it ourselves.
Matchmaker, by the way then long angry, threatened before leaving my daughter (waited until the son is not there), that my grandchildren, and a mile will not come close. Except that the matchmaker did not know that I could hear this conversation, to which she was unpleasantly surprised by my response: “well, thank you, it means that my grandchildren will spend more time at my place. Never mind, everything that does not work out for the best.
Time has passed, the matchmaker let go, there is now a second daughter-in-law. But the moral of the fable is that for every wolf, there is a wolfhound. And your sister-in-law has not lost anything from the fact that you were offended and stopped going to them, only won.
