What makes people look forward to summer? Most people look forward to it because of the sunny weather and the opportunity to go on vacation. For the sake of sun, sea and beach. For me and my child, summer is interesting for completely different reasons. – Mom, when will grandma go to the village? – my child asks. My mother is not a dictator. She was a reasonable person before she retired. But everything changed three years ago. My mother became a pensioner. People believe that mother-in-law is always at enmity with son-in-law. We have the opposite. My husband’s mother-in-law adores him, he is like “cheese rolling in butter” for her.
My eight-year-old child also understands this. – He is the same as his mother, – she imitates M, – the same ignorant. She is tired of sitting idle. She is in a hurry to “help” me in housekeeping and raising my grandson. Everything I do, in her opinion, is wrong. My mother takes a mop and starts to re-wash room after room after wet cleaning the apartment. “You have no idea how to clean the floor,” she tells me. She starts rinsing the dishes as soon as I finish washing them.
About once a month she gathers her friends for tea and cake. The only purpose of these gatherings is to demonstrate her importance in our family. “Without me, they will starve and die in the mud here,” she warns her guests, “and their boy will be lost without me. She has a difficult character. She gave birth to tell me what to do. But there is one aspect; my mother leaves for the whole summer and lives in the summer house, which is my only salvation. I have been waiting for it all winter, fantasizing about a few months of independence and bliss. However, the summer season is coming to an end, and everything begins anew. – Volodymyr, let’s leave my mother’s apartment, – I suggested to my husband, – let’s rent an apartment.
– It is inexpedient from the financial point of view, – my husband said, – we all have enough space in a three-room apartment. Problems will go away when you start listening to your mother and less snapping at her. Another contradiction arose. I am confused what to do. How do I approach my mother and convince her that I have grown up? Could someone give me some advice?
