My mother-in-law thinks that I married her son not out of love, but because of the apartment. They are third- or fourth-generation residents of the capital, which they are very proud of. And I am a newcomer from a small town, as my mother-in-law says, “from the countryside”. My parents, in the two years of our marriage, they have never once invited me and made it clear that they did not want to see these “villagers”. My mother works as a paramedic in an ambulance, and my father is a driver.
I’m very offended, but I can’t help it. I have already offered my husband a hundred times to rent an apartment, but he strongly objects, throwing away money when there is a large apartment at his parents’ place. He also does not agree to a mortgage. I was already thinking about divorce, but I found out I was pregnant. I decided to go visit my parents, while the term is still small. And the joy to share, and to see each other. But my mother-in-law is adamantly against me putting their future grandson in danger. I can’t even imagine how my parents will be able to see my baby in the future! They can’t come to us, and I can’t come to them either.
Now my husband’s parents are choosing baby names for the boy. I can even hear them arguing among themselves and then discussing this or that name for a long time. My mother-in-law insists that my grandson be named David, as the name of her father. Fortunately I did not catch him, he died five years before my husband and I met. My father-in-law hints that it will be Nick. I’m just amazed at these people! The impression that this is the royal family, not ordinary people. A dynasty, really.
I told my husband that I would name my son myself. And none of those names will ever be my son’s. I know it will be a scandal, but I’m ready for it. Even a divorce. I still can not live with my husband’s parents for a long time, and if a child is born, quarrels over his upbringing can not be avoided. That’s when I can dictate their terms when they want to see a grandchild.
And yes, I have registration in my hometown. My mother-in-law is afraid that I will take away their precious square footage.
