For the last six years, my brother has been living and working abroad. He has not been home for several years. He is already 28. My parents were very worried about his personal life. All his life he was a bit reserved and somewhat avoided the opposite sex. I am 10 years younger. My mom was really looking forward to grandchildren from her eldest son. She often told him that he needed to think about his family, but he always brushed it off.
Mom even resigned herself to the fact that she would never have grandchildren from him. But a month ago, Mark surprised everyone with the news that he would soon arrive with his fiancée. People started asking him about this girl. He was reluctant to answer. He didn’t like to interfere in his personal life. All we knew about my brother’s fiancée was that she was German and that she was two years older than him.
They arrived two months later, when my brother was on vacation. My mother set a big table and got ready to welcome the guests. My brother’s girlfriend made a good impression on me. She behaved with restraint and manners. There were some difficulties with communication because my brother had to translate everything. My mother did not like the bride. After they drove back to the hotel, my mom started to get indignant. -Are there not enough compatriots? Why does he need a foreigner? She hasn’t even eaten anything during the evening, and if a girl has a bad appetite, she won’t be able to bear healthy offspring. Besides, she won’t be able to instill our culture in her children.
I’m also sure that she is not a housekeeper. Have you seen her gentlemanly hands? I tried to deceive my mother: – “Mom, the main thing is that they are happy together. Doesn’t that matter? But my mother stuck to her guns. Then she threw a tantrum at my brother. He gave up on her and left, and after that he did not come to his parents’ house. He does not communicate with my mom. And they had a modest wedding with that girl in Germany. Is this why parents can’t just be happy for their children? Is it necessary to interfere in their lives?
