On the weekend, we, as usual, went to visit my husband’s parents. We had a delicious lunch, drank some wine, watched a movie, and then headed home. My mother-in-law was very friendly and cheerful. It even seemed to me that she was slightly tipsy.
When we got home, my husband immediately went to take a shower. Meanwhile, my phone rang. It was my mother-in-law. At first, I thought we had forgotten something and she was calling to tell us. But it turned out that she had just dialed the wrong number😬😬👇👇👇👇
Both her best friend and I are named Natasha. So, it seems she misread the entry in her phone book…
I couldn’t resist and started listening to her monologue, nodding in the right places. It turned out that my mother-in-law doesn’t have a very good opinion of me. She thinks I’m an uneducated girl who is being supported by her son. She doesn’t even consider my profession to be a real job. Just… someone who picks at their teeth. Additionally, she is sure that after childbirth, I will gain weight and become unattractive to my husband.
In general, she thinks I’m unworthy of such a wonderful boy. I couldn’t take it anymore and eventually hung up. I was so overwhelmed with emotions. I wanted to go to my husband and tell him everything I thought about his mother. But my husband was still in the shower, so I decided to call my older sister.
Marusya had been married for ten years and was raising two sons. Her mother-in-law was a difficult person, but my sister had managed to build an ideal relationship with her. My sister listened to me and told me not to make a scandal. Life can be unpredictable. She said that when I have children, I will understand my mother-in-law’s behavior.
So, I gathered all my willpower and listened to my sister. Now I’m pregnant and fully understand that I did the right thing and how wise my sister’s advice was. To every mother, her child is the best!
