The whole family gathered in the kitchen, discussing an important family issue, but the daughter-in-law was asked to wait in the other room.

How it forms manhood And when does it manifest? The question is actually quite complicated. It is believed that the whole point is in education. That’s when boys become men and start making decisions that are responsible for their future lives. But then there are genes, living conditions and so on and so forth.



In addition, oddly enough, the male character strongly depends on geography. Yes, for example, the post-Soviet space is famous for the fact that boys, for the most part, are raised by women. With all that comes from it. In the East, on the contrary. Even a very young guy is more important than his parent, but always has much less rights than a father, uncle or grandfather. And their character is obviously different from ours.

After household chores, Vika went to pick up her son from kindergarten. It's an ordinary, routine day, as always. I talked to the teachers, listened to another monologue about the fact that everything is becoming more expensive, and the kindergarten needs help. Semi-transparent hints of financial involvement and so on. The mood finally fell, and then it began to rain.



Suddenly a phone rang in his pocket. It was a husband. He asked Vick to come over to his parents' house for a few minutes so they could go home together. She didn’t like her husband’s parents very much, but there was nothing to do. She also enjoyed walking with her husband and child. Apart from weekends, this was not often done.

Serezha opened the door. The husband quickly helped Vika remove the wet jacket, hugged his son and whispered his wife to go to an empty room. The whole family, including her sister, sat in the kitchen. It's not that Vike really wanted to go to his relatives, but it would be nice to say hello. Nevertheless, she took the little boy in her arms and tried to play with him as quietly as possible for 5 minutes. But in the end, curiosity took hold and she followed the others.



In the kitchen, as expected, discussed a very important and urgent topic. The fact is that Vikina’s sister-in-law, Oksana, was supposed to have twins. At once 2 children and three at the end. And they have a two-bedroom apartment. Where to live is unclear. The issue was discussed by everyone, but Sergey’s mother, Larisa Stepanovna, spoke more and loudest.

And she said terrible things. In short, she offered to sell Sergei and Victoria two. With the proceeds to buy a good one-room apartment, because it will not be any constraint for a family of three people. What's left is to give Vikina her sister-in-law and her husband. After all, they have force majeure, they need to be saved.



Sergey was silent at this time and just watched everything happening with a completely absent look. He didn't dare contradict his mother in anything. She, like her sister, was dependent on her. The fact is that she gave them apartments for the wedding. After the departure of her husband, Sergei’s mother took control of the business and made good money. So they were considered their unspoken leader for a reason.

However, Vick did not suit this situation at all. Which she didn't hesitate to say. The mother-in-law only exhaled loudly and asked to postpone the conversation to a more convenient time. And Vike, she said, they say, when she herself earns on real estate, then let her command. They are friendly and always help each other. You will not be offended in the crowd, it is not a big deal.



The road home was difficult. Sergey was either silent or justified. Which was actually worse. He said he couldn’t do anything, because the documents and registration in their apartment were left on his mother. And if he contradicts her, they will have to move to rented housing. In addition, their two-bedroom apartment is unrenovated, and they will choose the most exquisite one that only Vika can find.

Naturally, the girl was not enthusiastic about any of the options. Because I knew living in these conditions was the first step to divorce. She grew up in a communal room. She knows that. Whatever the repair, domestic quarrels due to lack of privacy will definitely grow into something more. But you can do something about it. Evicting a son and grandson from their home? A monster, not a mother-in-law.



Peels Rain hit the windshield of the car, and Vika wondered how she would raise her own son. What can his own father teach him? Now, okay. Kindergarten, other kids, nothing. But then, when you have to stand up for a girl or fight back against bullies. Will he keep quiet too? Just clap your eyes and pretend it didn't matter. And so until old age?

Unpleasant questions came to mind one by one and there were no answers. Sergey, of course, is a good man. Working hard, trying to provide for them. She herself often enjoys his favor, well, who is not without sin? However, her son, her son, is another matter. He has to be different. Harder, more brazen. But how do you do that? Do you have to find a better man?



Both parents were silent in the car and each thought about something different.
