I want a duplicate key from the cottage, and the daughter-in-law frantically resists.

Gardening Hard and painstaking work that requires a lot of time and energy. And if the house is old, and the garden is completely abandoned, you will have to work even more. But what if you have a small child and just don’t have time to think about a secluded country place? Relatives can help, and this is a good solution to the problem. True, sometimes people do not ask for help at all, and annoying relatives try to stick their nose where they do not ask. In fact, our story today is about that.



Six months ago, my daughter-in-law inherited a tidy sum of money. Young people decided to buy a small cottage outside the city. However, the money was enough for a rather old dilapidated house with the same plot. In general, the work there is an uninhabited edge, but no one is in a hurry to do all this.



Just around the same time Tonya gave birth to a son. Now the young give all their strength to the baby. Of course it's the right thing to do and I'm glad they finally have a baby. But it's pathetic! It took so long to get there, with transfers. It is easier to drive your car, but only Andrew drives. If we go there, we all go together.

I am afraid that if this cottage stands in this state for at least another year, then nothing will be done there. I am ready to help my family now! Recently retired, there is no special trouble, and I feel just fine. I'll clean it up quickly, throw away all the junk, clean it up where I can. Isn't that a great idea?



I wish I could sit with my grandson. So my daughter-in-law hasn't even let me into the baby yet. I'm really hurt, but I'm holding on. Thank you for your support. Tona needs to understand what motherhood is, I don't want to get into it. But the care of the cottage can organize just exemplary! I was even thinking about buying a plot next door, but I can't afford that much myself. I'd rather put all my energy in one place.

I thought about everything for a long time and decided to tell my son directly: “Andryusha, I figured it out here.” Why don't you make me a duplicate of your dacha key? I'll be there periodically, cleaning up. You can’t have the house unattended for so long.



My son's answer shocked me. He said that the dacha belongs to Tona, they say, it is ugly, and I can not without warning just take and go there. And there can be no question of any duplicate key! Tew, do I pretend to be a dacha? I don't need her for nothing. I just want to help.

After this conversation, I decided to discuss this topic with Tonya herself. But she told me the same thing: Tamara Anatolyevna, we don’t need your help. We'll go to the cottage to the barbecue, slowly start cleaning. And in a year we will do everything thoroughly. The house does not ask for food, after all!



I don't understand that position. Are they sorry? I would come, plant some flowers in the flower beds, dig up the beds. You could already be thinking about seedlings next year! And now you just have to wait for the daughter-in-law to begin repairs there. What a circus!

The editorial office of Nedarom says that initiative punishable. No one likes to get into their business and plans without permission. Even if they are close relatives. I perfectly understand the daughter-in-law of the main character Tonya. To let this happen will mean dooming yourself to the constant visits of her mother-in-law, who will surely want everything in the country to happen according to her charter. We need to protect our borders and personal space.



What would you do in the place of your daughter-in-law and do you think Tamara Anatolyevna’s intentions are harmless? We will be interested to know your point of view in the comments!
