How interesting sometimes life is. What yesterday was generally unacceptable and out of sight suddenly begins to be realized and manifested. And in a way that you wouldn’t think of on purpose. The only son for whom "at least a star from the sky" puts before the choice: "I'm getting married and you, mother, accept it." Is it okay that the daughter-in-law is 7 years older and the daughter-in-law has children?
A life story, which you will learn more about, teaches you to make other people's decisions and actions. And that's good for you too! Even if you don't expect it at all.
The children of daughter-in-law Galina Nikiforovna, who raised her son alone, waited until he entered the university, and went to work in Portugal. I wanted to buy an apartment and a car. Everything went well: my son studied, my mother worked. But one day in a conversation, Atem said he wanted to get married. But the woman he was talking about was 7 years older than him. Moreover, she has two children: a girl and a boy. My son is only 22 years old.
The mother immediately replied that she was strongly against it. But Artem strongly stated that he is already an adult, and has the right to independently make vital decisions for him. Galina Nikiforovna wanted to put her son in his place:
"What can you do?" You haven't earned a penny yet, you haven't brought it home. Do you think I'll support you all?
I can do it. I am not going to take money from my mother for my family. I have a job, I just got a job. Distanced to combine with study. There are a couple of months left.”

“Mom, I grew up without a father. I know what it is. I'm consciously going there. Yes, they have a birth father, pays child support, sees him, but does not live with them. I can be there. I love them as much as the woman is their mother.
Why is it difficult to accept the decision of the son of Galina Nikiforovna after this conversation left to think. “God, he doesn't really need me. He is a smart boy: he works in the computer, knows English well, can earn a piece of bread.
The next phone conversation continued the topic. "Mom, come on! Inessa's hot. She's smart, she's beautiful, she's beautiful. You should like her, I know you! The children who stayed with her after the divorce from her ex-husband are excellent. Especially the younger one, Earring. Smart and smart. Inessa was not lucky with her first husband, but I will make her happy.

"Again to yours! Stop it.
“Son, can you live like this without signing?” Why rush? A lot of people live like that now. And then you look and decide what to do next.
If you had a daughter, would you tell her that too? You know, civil marriages are men who don't want to be held accountable. It is, of course, convenient: something did not like – packed up and left. Divorce, division of property, etc. I didn't think you'd take it that way. You and I have always been together and agreed. You taught me that a man should be responsible not only for himself, but also for his woman.
You know what I've been dreaming about all these years since you broke up with Dad? I want you to meet a caring man who would help solve all your problems while I was a child. But that, alas, didn't happen. And you had to go abroad to secure our future. I am very grateful to you for that.”

A daughter-in-law like that wasn't right for her. But what to do and how to behave, she did not know. I tried to consult my friends. Olga sympathized and advised me to talk to that Inessa.
womanly. In this situation, Artem is very young to create a family, especially with children. And with Tatiana and that was more difficult: she was dating a man 6 years younger.
So without thinking of anything, she decided to listen to Olga and go to the guests. I had the courage to go to the scouts.
“Hello, Inessa! I'm Artem's mom.
“Hello, I understand you look alike. Come in.
I went into the living room, then into the kitchen. The door was opened a little, I looked at it: not a single twist! Conservation, apparently, does not work at all.
And then a boy ran to them. Blond hair and green eyes, an open sincere smile. How much he looks like Artem in childhood!

Hello. I'm Seryozha. The boy looked at the new friend with interest. And as she handed him the toy cars, joy spilled over the edges.
"Oh, that's what I dreamed of!" How did you guess? You're a fairy, aren't you? My mom told me that these cars are expensive. Mom, look, their doors are opening, and the hood and the trunk!
The next two hours Galina Nikiforovna spent crawling with Seryozhya on the floor and playing with cars. And then they even rolled them around the couch and watched the wheels spin.
The woman melted. Ultimately and irrevocably. Little Seryozha took possession of her heart! And it felt like it was mutual. Next to him, Galina Nikiforovna felt as young as his mother Inessa. She's really pretty. Very nice and intelligent girl. Woman this young creature even somehow language did not turn to call her.

Galina Nikiforovna was very ashamed that she came to this house with claims. And with the intention of quarreling this girl with her son.
“Well, we met!” she said goodbye. And all the deliberately prepared phrases disappeared somewhere.
The happy ending of the story is, “You’re coming back, aren’t you?” Come, you're good. I haven't shown you all my toys yet.
“Of course I will. And you and your mom and sister are coming to visit me. Come unacceptably!
And then a girl with huge bows on her head slipped into the apartment, her older sister Seryozha came from school. Her big blue eyes looked with surprise and delight. "And I know who you are. You're Artem's mom, he looks like you! And he told me I was going to have a second grandmother because my dad's mom died. It's you, isn't it?
So Galina Nikiforovna had grandchildren. A year later, the whole family was waiting for another miracle: Inessa became pregnant.
Everyone was happy, and only Seryozhka was a little worried: “Grandma, will you love me as much as you do now?” When a brother or sister is born, will everyone love more than a baby?
Come on! Of course I'll love you the same way. You know, if it wasn't for you, I don't know what I would have done then. Thank you for your love, granddaughter!
