The situation of the mother-in-law requiring repair in the bathroom instead of the wedding of the son

Family problems Everyone's different. Some complain about health and low capital, while others may have the same problems, but the true cause of the anxiety will lie in the relationships between people. It all depends on the worldview of a person.



Today’s case, which we will tell you, is also quite ambiguous. It would seem that the situation is understandable and quite vital, but, as it often happens, there are details that turn everything upside down.

Problems in the family of Misha and Ira have been familiar for a long time and have been in a romantic relationship since the third year of the local university. Together they rented an apartment, together they paid for it, trying to find a good part-time job and not to miss the curriculum.



Some people will say, “Half of our students live like this,” and they’ll probably be right. I just need to point out that no one really helped our couple. Irina’s family was miles away from her alma mater, and financially they were not. Michael’s parents lived very close to his rental housing, but their situation was even worse.

Mother, Tatiana Andreevna, worked as a cleaner in several places at once and thus somehow fed herself and her bad husband, Alexander Grigorievich. He was, in principle, a quiet and harmless person, but drank, as they say, everything that burned. There was no time or energy for my son. In addition, “he already had a woman, so it is easier for them together, it is still unknown who should help whom,” Tatiana Andreevna reasoned to herself.



After graduating from the institute, Misha did not find a job in his specialty and decided to look for an alternative. Ira was studying to be an accountant, and there was a place for her in a small company. There she stayed to gain experience and bring some money into the house.

After three or four months of such a life, the young people realized that they needed to break out of constant debts and household life in the shortest possible time: despite their strong feelings, although civil, the union was bursting at the seams. Mikhail chose active action and signed up for a watch in another city - much northerly and colder.



Irina continued to work as an accountant, but this was not enough. Then it was decided to move to Mishin parents. But, of course, with the condition: the couple pays for food and communal from their pocket. My mother was very rarely at home, and my father had other “prerogatives”.

Meanwhile, Tatiana Andreevna, seeing that you can save a little, began to save money. Little by little, but with one noble purpose: to renovate the bathroom. Since she mostly received cash, and transfer them to the card, she saw no sense. Just put the money in a bundle and hid it behind the wallpaper. The place seems secure.



Four months later, when Misha still had as much to sit on the watch, on another video date via the Internet, the guys agreed that they would get married and take a mortgage. With the proceeds, they will pay the first installment, and then whatever happens. Both of them liked the idea, as it gave some hope for independent life and development.

The bad news came a little later. It turned out that Alexander Grigorievich, who seemed to be sleeping in the apartment, knew about his wife’s hiding place. Waiting for the amount to become quite impressive, he caught it and safely disappeared from view for 2 weeks. Naturally, when everything was discovered, there was no trace of money left.



And now, when his own son had only 20 days to work out, Tatiana Andreevna, without blinking an eye, rolls out her conditions: since the daughter-in-law lived with them for so long, you need to pay for it. And not just anything, but only a “sound coin”. 120 thousand will be enough, just enough to repair the bathroom. But we will arrange for you, in addition to your parental blessing, the forgiveness of all minor troubles.

Sad guys. After all, this amount will reduce their first installment on the mortgage. Wedding as a feast of speech did not go at all: to sign only, and God with him. Hopes for the future were dashing every day. The tears of the daughter-in-law and the screams of her son through video communication did not help. My mother-in-law remained steadfast.



When Michael arrived in his native city, he did not even know how to behave: he wanted to make a scandal, but his hands were tied: he was a son and he should. My mother has a dream, so what can you do? And not even agree on the return of the entire amount in a year – in any case. It must be fate.

On the staircase, the young man met Uncle Pasha, whom he had known since childhood. The mustachioed district first greeted Mikhail friendly, and then, frowning his eyebrows, asked: “And what is it, young man, we do not pay fines for our father?” He is, by the way, a fool.”

It turned out that Alexander Grigorievich on the “borrowed” money of his own wife managed to wink so much that he still had to stay. And if the fine is not paid, the court and write is gone. The amount seems small, but, as they say, not small – 30 thousand.



Then, when the son entered the apartment and greeted his mother and bride (the father was absent on business), he told everything he heard from the district officer. He offered to pay the fine and, in order not to touch on the topic of the bathroom, to solve this issue in a year or two. When the family gets back on their feet. Tatiana Andreevna simply had nowhere to go and dictate her terms, she could not: there was no money, and therefore only the option to agree remained.

Surprisingly, the relatives in the future did not even stop communicating and did not quarrel. The guys started living in their apartment, and things slowly began to get better.
