A mother-in-law would never think of feeding her grandchildren, although we live in the same house, I don’t understand how to live like this.

If Anastasia had the chance, she wouldn't have gone to work. Not from wanting to idle or avoid problems in the workplace. It's to feed the kids on time. After all, despite the fact that they are always with their grandparents, the children remain hungry. And although Anastasia tried to explain to her mother-in-law that grandmothers who love grandchildren do not do this, it did not affect the behavior of the relative.



Life with father-in-law Anastasia and Nikolai could not afford separate housing. I had to share the roof with Nicholas’ parents. Fortunately, they had a private home, but the relative spaciousness did not affect the relationship in the family.

The couple had two children of primary school age. And since Anastasia worked on a par with Nicholas, she did not have the opportunity to stay at home all day. Therefore, it would be natural to assume that if the food she cooked ran out, her mother-in-law would help.



After school, Anastasia has a strange relationship with her father-in-law. You could even say cool. Even though they lived in the same house, they did everything separately. Even food. So a separate grandparents dinner for this house was not unusual. Anastasia didn't mind. But she could not imagine that the principle of “mansion” applies to children.



One day Anastasia came from work a little later than usual. There were morose children in the room. Turns out they didn't eat anything from a snack at school. When they asked her about food, she said she had to wait for her mother. Anastasia knew perfectly well that there were enough products from which something could be done quickly. And why the grandmother could not make elementary eggs or porridge is unclear.



That evening, Anastasia tried to talk to her mother-in-law and about her behavior. Explain that grandparents who love grandchildren would never leave their children hungry. In response, the mother-in-law coldly cut off that feeding the children is the duty of the mother, not the grandmother. Nicholas just shrugged his shoulders. This attitude was not new to him. He knew his mother well and was not surprised.



Since that day, Anastasia began to pay more attention to cooking and children. Or rather, teaching children to cook for themselves. If you cannot rely on your closest relatives, you can only rely on yourself. The same principle began to guide her when she decided to find a separate home. And if she needs to find another part-time job, she will.
