I decided to tie beautiful costumes for my newborn granddaughter, but my daughter-in-law did not appreciate my goodwill gesture.

Grandma's love is boundless. It can manifest itself in different ways: both in word and deed. Unfortunately, not everyone understands this. Svetlana Viktorovna often gives her family things made with her own hands. However, the daughter-in-law does not like them and she asks not to do it again. Why the girl is so categorical and what is wrong with handmade gifts, read further in the article.



I always raised my son without any pressure. She supported him in all his endeavors, tried to be close to him and surround him with care. When Andrew introduced me to his girlfriends, I always welcomed them with a smile because I respected his choice. Although, I confess, I did not always like his passions.



The same thing happened to Nastya, whom Andrew wanted to marry. There was something repulsive about her that I didn't understand. But I never quarreled with my son’s girlfriend, never once said a crooked word to her. We didn’t talk very often, we kept our distance from each other. That was probably my mistake.

When my son married and moved to a rented apartment with Nastya, our relationship broke. Andrew began to come to visit less and hardly ever called. I've always been the initiator. But when my daughter-in-law got pregnant, I had the hope that things would change and we would get closer.



I had long dreamed of having grandchildren and was ready to be a grandmother. For the past few years, I have not officially worked. But I do custom knitting. People are happy to buy things made by my hands. It's sweaters and covers and socks. I remember giving Andrei and Nastya a beautiful set of decorative pillows to their new apartment. I thought they liked them. But in fact, it was a little different.

When my granddaughter was born, I helped my daughter-in-law all I could. Most of the time, of course, it was money. One day Nastya said that she wants to do a photo shoot for the baby. And I immediately decided that I would tie an elegant dress and a hat for Anjechka. I bought the best threads, calculated everything in time to be on time. I chose orange because my granddaughter is a redhead. A real sunshine!



Having tied the baby her bright outfit, I joyfully came to my family without warning. And Nastya threw a tantrum right on the doorstep. Why did I decide I could come whenever I wanted? I was upset because I didn’t expect such rudeness. She began to explain that she had brought Anna a gift.

Taking out of his bag carefully folded in the box dress and hat, I was sure that Nastya melted with tenderness and forgive me. But it was exactly the opposite. She looked at my present with disgust and said, “Do you seriously think I’m going to wear this on my daughter?”



I had no words. I didn't understand what I had done wrong or why my son's wife reacted like that. And then she said, Svetlana Viktorovna, of course I understand. But grandma's love for her granddaughter must be manifested in another. Instead of knitting Ana an unnecessary dress for a photo shoot, you should help pay for it! ?

I got it all clear. My family only wants money. Even though Nastya said recently that they do not need anything! What hurt me most was not even that, but that my son was totally supportive of his wife. Says nobody wants my rags. It’s a hobby and nothing more. I'm very angry with Andrew because I thought he would support me. I don't know how to talk to them now!

Life Wisdom: What does this story teach us? Probably somewhere Svetlana Viktorovna in the upbringing of her son still miscalculated. Perhaps he was influenced by his wife? Anyway, we want to emphasize the main point of this story. Grandma’s love for grandchildren can be different. It doesn’t just have to be the amount of money your grandmother gives you. It is sad that people are increasingly paying attention to the material rather than the spiritual component of life.
