The story of a mother-in-law tricked into working in the countryside

Tension with the mother-in-law occupies one of the leading positions in the list of family problems. And someone’s mother husband literally gives life, and someone just accuses of unworthy behavior. And often daughters-in-law have to put up with all the features of the “second mother” character. But what if my mother-in-law -- stingy?



Editorial "Site" There is hardly an exact answer to this question. But in stock there is one very interesting and instructive story from our subscriber. Almost a scream of the soul, to be honest. Who knows, this story may be relevant to you.

A call from your mother-in-law is clearly not what you expect on a Sunday at 7am. My husband and I came home late and wanted to sleep. Nina Ivanovna calls to the cottage to fry barbecues. I politely refuse, but she persuades, they say, bought meat for everyone, already marinated everything and is waiting for us. What do we do? I woke up my husband, he groaned a little, but he began to gather. He knows his mother won't let go.

The whole family goes to the dacha: my husband and I, and his brother and wife. We have been married for 3 years, but Andrei and Ola have only been married for a couple of months. We are on good terms with them, just like our father-in-law. Here's my mother-in-law. Anyway, it's going to be an interesting day. Olka has not yet felt the toxicity of her relationship with Nina Ivanovna. I lived with my husband’s parents for a year. And what tricks did not do mother-in-law.



She clinged to my every action and continually tricked me. Moreover, Nina Ivanovna is a stingy person. She told us to give her the money she earned, saying she knew better how to manage it. Even the father-in-law told us to move out and live calmly. No price! The husband's brother realized that it is better not to lead his daughter-in-law to his mother. I rented an apartment and did the right thing!

They drank tea, the husband refused breakfast: “We are going for kebabs, why eat?” Andrey and Olya were taken on the way. They were not happy about this Sunday either. But they accepted, there was no choice. And Nina Ivanovna will never forgive us if we do not come and make a barbecue. She spent so much money on him!

When we arrived, our mother-in-law and father-in-law were already there waiting for us. "Oh, you took so long! While waiting for you, we decided to drag the net on the fence. Boys, help us, let's get this done quickly. And you girls, don't be a waste either. Let’s plant potatoes, two in half an hour to manage, — buzzed mother-in-law.

Husband's already pissed up, starving to death. At first, the net was stretched, then it turned out that something else in the greenhouse needed to be repaired, the berries collected, the beds weeded. Well, let's clean the lawn and plaster the porch! "Mom, where's the barbecue?" We haven't had breakfast yet!' My mother-in-law happily replies that everything will be soon. The meat is already ready, there is only an antenna to install, because you cannot watch TV.



It's getting dark. After another order of my mother-in-law, I could not stand it and went to the car. Nina Ivanovna following me: "Aha! When you eat meat, you go first. You don't want to help! How lazy you are, I don't understand why my son married you. He who does not work, does not eat, so know! The husband came and started arguing with his mother. Says it's dark, they've been on their feet all day and still haven't eaten. It's time to get home.

Then the mother-in-law gave the command to the father-in-law to make a fire. We sat down, no one said a word, no strength. Nina Ivanovna went to the house and solemnly carried out the package. And he's got sausages! Two grand each. Seeing this, my husband went wild. They took Andrei and Ola and left. They bought hamburgers on the way to eat something.



You could have just asked for help, why cheat? We would have brought the meat ourselves and cooked it. In general, we were offended by Nina Ivanovna terribly. Only she doesn't understand it. He also calls with claims: “It means like a barbecue to burst, you’re right here.” I just needed help, so you're gone! It's called raising kids. Only for a piece of meat are you ready to come. No help, no support. And daughters-in-law, both slackers! The sausages didn't fit them!

And the father-in-law immediately writes a text message: “Don’t believe me.” There's no meat. You need to cover the roof, you don't have to come. I've already hired workers and my mother just doesn't want to pay them.

Well, we turned off all the phones. And a doorbell, for sure. Keep sleeping.

From the editorial office If your mother-in-law stingyI don't think you can do anything about it. To fight for the re-education of an adult is a perilous and hopeless business. In this case, it remains only to accept and not to enter into any conflicts. This will only aggravate the already strained relationship.



What's your relationship with your mother-in-law? Do you know this situation? It would be great if you shared your experience in the comments. Wait for you downstairs!
