Let me start by saying that my husband loves his mother so much that he is willing to indulge all of her whims, even though they are detrimental to our family. His father passed away five years ago, and perhaps for fear of losing his mother as well, my husband has taken great care of her. My mother-in-law only takes advantage of this.
Every day after work, he goes to his mother’s house to help her with one thing or another. He is always on the phone with her.
If my mother calls and she feels bad, he drops everything and runs to her. He even spends his weekends with her. Okay, I can take it for myself, but not for the kids. We have two daughters and my mother-in-law has no interest in them at all.
In ten years she took her daughters once and that’s it. How could she? They’re her granddaughters. My mother always takes care of my granddaughters when she has to. Even though she works herself.
Recently, I asked my mother-in-law, and she told me that she was very busy and her children made her blood pressure rise. She can not sit with them. I’m shocked. It turns out the girls just do not have a grandmother, although she is alive and well. And my husband does not care. The main thing is that mom would be happy.
