– “You cannot force me to look after your child, and I should not miss an evening with my friends because of my grandson. You gave birth, you are obliged to count your strength.
She was in a bad mood because of something else, I thought, so she spoke rudely. After all, she is not only retired, but also works, so it is logical that she wants to devote time to herself, and not to look after others. But the wife was offended by her mother-in-law’s words.
– Your mother has never helped us with Robert. Always only my parents have to rush across the city to pick up or sit with their grandchildren. Somehow it’s unfair…
But how can you make mom do it? She has already forgotten that in childhood she always left me with my grandmother because she worked. I did not have a father, he was an inveterate drunkard, not interested in the family, so my mother herself is a bit of a man-hater, but it should not apply to her grandson. I have never done anything bad to her in my life. On the contrary, everything is for her sake and for her, and it would be nice if she at least occasionally entered my position and could sit with her grandson. Robert is obedient and calm, he sits perfectly by himself, he just needs to be looked after and fed. But my mother does not even want to try.
How can I persuade her? And so as not to face an unpleasant reprimand again.
