Once Anya noticed that her mother-in-law was standing over her grandson with a child's photo of her husband in her hands, she did not immediately understand what was wrong.

The character of the grandmother depends on whose mother she is originally. Everything is much easier if her own daughter made her an honorary grandmother. The situation is complicated if the mother is a daughter-in-law.



Editorial "Site" She shares her thoughts on the subject, as well as one telling story.

Walking in the park with a newborn son, I unwittingly got acquainted with many mothers, grandparents, who also did not let go of the baby stroller. My attention was drawn to the fact that the miracle that was lulled by the grandfather or grandmother, produced their daughter. And only one grandmother walked first with her granddaughter, who gave birth to her daughter, and six months later I saw her with another stroller: the daughter-in-law with the son of her grandson “given”. This old woman has a characteristic of her grandmother that you can envy.



My mother-in-law loves her grandson, but more on the phone. I never went out with him, even though I live in the same city. A close friend has a relationship with her mother-in-law, so that the series can be shot.

My friend Anya from childhood grew up as a fighting girl and was brought up in strictness. When she met Dima, she was only 18 years old. The young people started dating, they began to have passionate feelings, and they decided to get married. So that the parents of the bride did not protest, the young couple decided to put them before the fact: Anya is pregnant. We tried to do everything possible to make it true!



Ani’s parents are conscious people, although they were a little stunned, but blessed the young and agreed to have a wedding. Only with Dmitry’s mother began misunderstandings: whether the maternal jealousy played out, or the daughter-in-law did not like her, but she clearly expressed her dissatisfaction from the day of the marriage. The matchmakers ended up fighting.

The newlyweds first lived with their parents, then rented an apartment. With the birth of a baby, the life of a young couple became more complicated, there was not enough money for everything, and they then ran away, then converged. Such tense relations in the new family made an unpleasant impression on the mother-in-law about the young daughter-in-law, and she openly disliked Anya. When the truce came again, the young people lived with their wife’s parents. But Dima wanted to live separately and asked his parents permission to move into their empty apartment, to which his mother told him: “Live, but without her!”



Characteristics of grandmother Dania, so called the grandson, she also long did not recognize. One weekend it was a weather day, and Anya was walking with the baby in the park. While the baby slept quietly, she rolled the stroller back and forth along the main alley. Looks, my mother-in-law walks in. The daughter-in-law wanted to say hello, but the woman with a stone face passed by and did not even look into the wheelchair to admire her grandson. Anya was silent, but held a resentment in her heart.

A month later, when the young visited Dima's parents, Anya found her mother-in-law doing an interesting activity: her grandmother with a child's photo of her son in her hands bent over her grandson - she looks and compares. The daughter-in-law was even curious: what did the mother-in-law want to see or what doubts did she try to dispel?



The mother-in-law with the child for a long time did not help, and there was no support from her side. Until Dana was 10 years old, only her mother Ani came to the rescue: she played with her grandson, went for walks and could sit with him if necessary. And only then the second grandmother loved the only grandson, perhaps realized that more children her beloved son is not expected.

She began to invite Danya to visit more often, to give him gifts. And with the daughter-in-law, they continue to communicate strainedly, because no one can forget past offenses. Until now, matchmakers visit children with a grandson in turn, so as not to intersect.



People are different, as are life situations. Someone loves his son so much that he cannot accept the fact that he already has his own family. And the characterization of a grandmother does not always correspond to what kind of woman was a mother. We think all these life circumstances need to accept and learn to live with them. And then life will put everything in its place.
