I just don’t know how you can react calmly to something like that. I can not understand how you can be completely indifferent to their grandchildren? However, my mother-in-law keeps saying that our children are our concern, she has done her duty.
My mother-in-law retired early. Her youngest daughter had just given birth to twins. Until three years old, she helped Victoria, babysat them, and when the girls went to kindergarten – she immediately found a part-time job.
What kind of job? Working as a nanny and raising other people’s children. She got a job with a rich family and babysits the kids all day long. She’s only home on weekends, and that time is spent cleaning and meeting with her friends. Yes, her salary is good, but she has absolutely no time to spend with her grandchildren.
More than once we asked my mother-in-law to help us with the children. I had to go to work, and my sons were often sick and missed kindergarten. My mother was far away, so we had only hope for my husband’s mother. And she turned us down. She advised us to hire a nanny and not to distract her from her work.
If my parents lived nearby, they would have been happy to help me. My mother promised to come over for a vacation, but two weeks would not save me. While my mother-in-law travels with other people’s children to the seaside and visits foreign resorts, I can not fully work. I understand that she caught luck by the tail, but you can not be so selfish.
You mean she cares more about money than her grandchildren? What do you think?
