How to ask your mother-in-law for all the money left to her
Many children dream of spending time summertime. This is an excellent type of rest, which will definitely be able to restore the young body before the start of the school year. Grandparents are often happy to spend so much time with their grandchildren. But what is behind the carefree holidays in the village?
Our reader Natalia faced a rather atypical problem. Her mother-in-law was ready to welcome her grandchildren. In return, he asked for money to support them. As the heroine took it, read further in the article.
My children are always looking forward to summer, because they like to spend it in the village with their grandmother. This year was no exception, and my husband and I sent our son and daughter to the country. Actually, I wish they'd spent more time with my mom. In the spring, she said she had no plans to have grandchildren.
They are already big, they do not need to be taken care of. My mother also reproached me that I constantly want to snag children. But what else can I do if my husband and I are at work every day, and the kids no longer go to kindergarten?
My husband had recently found a good job and could not take a vacation. I also worked for two people all summer, so that at the beginning of September 2 weeks to rest and help the children to enter school mode. Thank you to your mother-in-law who didn’t refuse us. This year, the children spent all summer in the village. My husband’s mother asked for a decent amount of money.
“For the maintenance of Vanya and Oli. I will not feed them with the Holy Spirit, will I? It was just over half of my monthly salary. I didn’t know why I needed so much money. I mean, the food's all my own. I don't think my mother-in-law goes to the country store every day and buys her grandchildren some delicacies.
So we didn't have much choice. I gave my mother-in-law the entire amount in advance. And that's considering the fact that she knows very well how we've been saving on everything just recently. I don’t understand why there is such a relationship in a family. But there's nowhere to go.
Now I'm just wondering where that huge amount of money went. Kids can't just eat that much! The husband does not like the behavior of his mother, but he does not want to argue with her. Maybe I just don’t understand something and it’s been the norm for a long time.
Friends jokingly suggest that I ask my mother-in-law to report. They said they ate, drank, went where they went. What if I am holding a grudge against my mother-in-law and her demand has justified itself? Tell me what to do. I'm going to pick up the kids tomorrow.
In the place of Natalia, the first thing we would ask the children is whether they liked the summer in the village. It is important to remember that adult misunderstandings should not affect their relationship with their grandmother.
Then it is necessary to talk with the mother-in-law. In general, it should have been done at the very beginning of summer, and not to drag until the last. After all, Natalia herself said that she holds a grudge against her husband’s mother. The conflict is not resolved, on the contrary, it matures for 3 months. Who knows, maybe the mother-in-law herself has long realized that she overstepped the stick. But whether this is true, will be known after a frank conversation.
