“I have been on maternity leave for the second year. If someone thinks it's very easy, that person doesn't have children, says Nina. The girl is tired of daily cleaning, and the cry of babies at night does not allow the young mother to sleep. Nina decided to call her mother for help, because her husband disappears at work, and Nina has to cope with the babies alone. And she wants to rest in silence. Nina tells her story and barely holds back her tears. She only asked her mother to look after the children, and eventually ruined her relationship with her mother and husband.
I'm sitting on the decree "I'm already out of my hands." I live without leaving home for the second year. My house is my fortress, I am not a foot out of it. The kids have no one to leave, and trust the children to an unfamiliar nurse to rest myself, I do not dare. So I asked my mother to come and help me.
My parents live in the village. There's nothing to do in the winter, so they're not very busy. And my mother agreed to visit me. Everything was great at first. Mom helped clean up because in our house you could already trip over toys, slip on baby mashed and fall into a mountain of dirty laundry - so bad.
It is difficult for me to cope with the duties of my wife and mother and keep the house clean. When my mother came, she immediately began to help me with cleaning. And then she sat down to play with her grandchildren. During this time, I was able to take a bath, clean up and sleep for 2 hours. Oh, my God, this is so beautiful!
The house was so dirty that my mother offered her help. Since small children don’t do much cleaning, my mother suggested that I take them to the park for a walk, and in the meantime, she will put the house in order. I was embarrassed, but I was so tired that I accepted her offer and went out with the children in the fresh air.
Unpleasant surprise: When we returned, the house was not recognized. And from the kitchen there was a pleasant smell of charlotte with apples. My mom hates mess, and even when I was little, I remember our house was always clean. I don't know how my mom managed to do it. My mother greeted us with a smile, I was so happy. I am so glad I have such a caring mother.
I did not immediately notice that the floor in the hall was covered with incomprehensible spots. In the hall we have a wooden oak floor and expensive furniture. It turned out that mom used vinegar because she didn't want to wash the house with chemicals. When my husband came and saw it, he was furious.
I asked him not to say anything to his mother. It's just the floor. Although I was very upset. But Mom wanted to help, she didn't intentionally spoil the floor. If I knew this would happen, I would never leave the house.
At dinner, Maxim expressed his dissatisfaction. He thought my mom did it on purpose. Then he told Mom to pack her things, that we didn't need her help anymore. Of course, my mother left in upset feelings, and I was upset that my husband behaved like this.
I called my mother several times, apologized for Maxim, but I hear from her voice that she did not forgive him. I asked my parents for the holidays, but they refused. Now I don’t know how to get along with them and calm my husband.
Family ties are much stronger than expensive oak floors. Nina called her mother to help her, because her husband did not deign to allocate money for a babysitter for the children. Instead of keeping quiet, the husband plotted his mother-in-law and put her out the door. Mercantility destroys relationships and distances close people from each other. Everyone makes mistakes, but when one tries to help, one cannot be ungrateful.
