The kids want to put me in a nursing home and sell my apartment, see, I need special care, and they can't give it.
“Our relationship with our children has deteriorated, and I don’t know what to do now,” complains our reader Lyudmila Ivanovna. She devoted her entire life to her daughter and son. And when they grew up, they thanked him for his betrayal. What happened and why a woman is preparing to face old age alone, read more in the article.
For a long time I couldn’t get pregnant. When it finally happened, my husband and I were crying. But this was not the last miracle that awaited us. A few months later, we found out we were going to have twins. There was no limit to happiness! But there was even more responsibility. It was clear that it would have to work twice as much.
I was ready for all the difficulties because I really wanted to be a mother. We raised our children so they never needed anything. I believe that we managed to create all the conditions for our son and daughter to have a fabulous childhood.
They had everything they wanted. She went to several tutors and dances, she really liked foreign languages. My son loved sports and played boxing. When it came time to choose a university, Katya wanted to enter the medical school, and Zhenya wanted to become a journalist.
The son managed to get on the budget in the capital university. And for training Katenka had to pay, and decent money. So that Zhenya did not get distracted from his studies, we started renting him a one-room apartment near the university. It was easier with Katya: she lived with us until graduation.

Our efforts were not in vain. Both my daughter and my son work in a profession, and they love it. They have grown up and started their own families. I never imagined that one day we would have disagreements about something. My husband and I raised ungrateful children.
My husband passed away a year ago. I didn't believe what happened because he had just turned 60. He could live many more years, babysit his grandchildren and enjoy life. But fate ordered otherwise. Since then, I have lived alone in a three-bedroom apartment.
I became a widow and my life was meaningless. This year I got very well, often sick and almost never left the house. The only joy is that my daughter got pregnant. I was hoping that as a grandmother, I could get back in line. But my kids seem to think differently.
They came to my house recently to talk seriously. My daughter and son want to put me in a nursing home and sell my apartment. You see, I need special care, and they can't give it. I don’t need to live in an apartment as big as my daughter said. Thank you for your kind word!
Despite the fact that the children earn well, they have not yet acquired their housing. So they want to divide the money earned for the apartment equally to make the first payment for new apartments for their families. Nobody thought of me! I haven't been as shocked in a long time as I was that day.
There was a lump in my throat, but I said, I never thought you owed me anything. But after everything my father and I have done for you, do you have the nerve to ask me to move into a nursing home? Why would I have to sell my apartment and live somewhere? I don't want to see you!
The children left silently. My relationship with the kids has deteriorated. I don't know what to do now that they're willing to send me to a nursing home for money. I may not have noticed their consumerism before. Is it my fault that they grew up like this?
Life Wisdom: What does this story teach us? This story is very telling. It teaches us what not to do with our mature parents. Of course, we do not know exactly how Lyudmila Ivanovna raised her children. However, it seems that they are quite spoiled. It often happens: the more you pamper children in childhood, the less grateful they grow up. Agreed?
What would you do in the place of the main character of the story? Do you think she still has a chance to bring her grown children to their senses?

My grandmother melted the oven to make my favorite cutlets, they were 1000 times more delicious than the Soviet "School"
Actresses, whom I put as an example of my daughter, because they accepted their appearance with all the shortcomings.
