My mother-in-law is not happy that I gave birth to a son, she wants a granddaughter Bashny.Net

Some people get stuck with their ideas sometimes. It is not only the life of those around them but the life of those around them. In today’s story of grandparents and grandsons, such unfulfilled dreams poison the life of the whole family. This is an absurd situation, but it happens too.



Editorial "Site" He shares with you the story of a family and their strange problem.

My grandmother and grandson recently had a baby. I decided to go to her house, and at the same time bring all the baby things that we no longer need. A large package of different pink things with frills came out. She just had a girl, and we don't need any girl stuff. She was very surprised when she saw a package of new things. So she said, "Why do you have so many girls' things when you have a son?"



When I told her about our whole situation, I realized how absurd it was. I realized I didn’t know what to do with her. But everything in order. A year ago, I was pregnant myself. My husband and I were very happy because we didn’t have a baby for a long time. I was 38 at the time. Pregnancy is late and very difficult. I didn’t care who we were born to, just to be healthy.



But my mother-in-law only cared about the child's field. She wanted a girl too fanatically. And it didn't start with me. In her youth, she also dreamed of a daughter, but it did not work out. My husband is her late child. She gave birth to him and raised him herself. I did not dare to have a second child alone. Since then, it has become an obsession.

The whole time I was pregnant, the doctors couldn't tell me the sex of the baby. My mother-in-law decided that there would be a girl. I started buying baby clothes, blankets and even toys. All this she brought to our house. When the baby was born, my mother-in-law almost had a heart attack. She even threw a tantrum and shouted at the nurses that they had replaced the child. It’s good that I found out later from my husband.



When's the granddaughter? Immediately after discharge, my mother-in-law began to pester me with questions about when we were going to have a second child. Remember, I could barely bear my son. But she doesn’t seem to notice her grandson, she has only thoughts about her granddaughter. With the child, the mother-in-law does not help at all, she took him in her arms only once. But this is the least of my problems, because I can handle the baby myself.



The biggest problem is the persistence of the mother-in-law. Each of our meetings begins and ends with a conversation about the need for another child and a girl. I think she's a little obsessed with that. It's been almost a year and she still hasn't calmed down. On the contrary, she became more insistent. After all, so much time has passed, you can already give birth to a second.

My husband and I realized that reason didn’t work, so we decided to lie. He told her we were trying, but he didn't come out again. But she didn't fall behind. I brought the money yesterday and told us to do IVF. My husband and I were upset by this. It's not normal to want a granddaughter. Especially when we said we weren't going to have a baby. What do we do now?

The absurdity of this story is striking. What can I say, Grandma really has an obsession. Perhaps, without the help of a specialist, this cannot be solved. The worst part is that her obsessions make life difficult for the family. They should have a child and be happy that everyone is healthy. Instead, you have to listen to your mother-in-law and her dubious suggestions. Honestly, I don’t know how to get out of this situation. Unless you stop talking to your mother-in-law. What do you think about that?
