60-Year-Old Mom Doesn't Want to Serve Daughter's Family, Gets Married to Escape

All lovers have their own idea of the What is the perfect wedding?. However, this is often discussed by young couples who still have their whole lives ahead of them. Those who managed to find their love in adulthood, as a rule, decide not to go to the registry office. But this story is not about that.



Nadezhda Petrovna is 60. For the past 10 years she has lived with her daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter. She didn’t think of a new relationship after she was widowed. But fate gave her a second chance. How her own daughter reacted to this, read further in the article.

When my husband died, my daughter offered to live together. It was really hard for me and I was very happy that my family supported me. We agreed to rent out my apartment. I moved in with my daughter and son-in-law. Marina was pregnant at the time and needed my support.



After the birth of my daughter, I did not walk away from her. I did everything I could to get her back as soon as possible. Of course, I had to constantly babysit my newborn granddaughter. It was easy because we lived in the same apartment.

Thanks to me, Marina was able to get to work much earlier than planned. I sat with my granddaughter and did the housework. I had nothing to complain about: my daughter was grateful for the help, and the relationship with her son-in-law was not bad either. I was also energized by my relationship with my granddaughter.



But as time passed, I began to feel superfluous in this apartment. It's like I'm doing my job as a housekeeper and nanny, and I'm not getting any returns. I started talking about it with my daughter, and we agreed to share responsibilities around the house. So I started going out and doing my own thing.

During one of the walks in the park, I met a very nice man my age. We talked, and soon I realized that this was my man. We began to meet more often, walked a lot, went to cafes. How beautiful Michael looked after me! I never thought I would ever fall in love again.

Honestly, my conscience was tormenting me. I thought that I was betraying the memory of my late husband, I doubted for a long time whether I should continue to communicate with Misha. But a close friend convinced me that life was too short to blame herself for her feelings. Especially when they're sincere.



After six months of our meetings, Misha asked me to marry him. I was taken aback, I didn't know what to say. After all, we are not young anymore: why do we need it? But he said, "That's why I want us to have the perfect wedding." You deserve it!

Realizing how lucky I was, I cried. She told her daughter about everything. But she wasn't thrilled with what she heard. She didn’t like the fact that I’ve been out more and more lately. No one cooks fresh food for every meal or cleans it. I'm not talking about my granddaughter. According to Marina, I completely forgot about her.



But it's not! Yes, we spend less time together, but Aniutka is no longer small. She's 10 years old and doesn't need her grandmother 24/7. Besides, why do I even have to do this? I am tired of running errands in front of my daughter and son-in-law.

Anyway, we had a big fight. I'm gonna escort the tenants out of my apartment and move in with Misha. And let Marina and her husband figure it out on their own. I love my granddaughter with all my heart, but I'm not her mother. It is time for Marina to take responsibility for raising her daughter and cleaning with cooking. I'm done!

Life Wisdom: What does this story teach us? Whatever the family relationship, You should not let your relatives sit on your neck.. It is obvious that Marina has enjoyed the kindness of her mother for many years. And when she decided to change something in her life, to be happier, she didn't like it.



It is selfish to forbid a mother to marry because of her age. Nadezhda Petrovna has every right to live as she wants and be close to the person she loves. What does it matter how old you are if you truly love someone?
