From the very first meeting I fell in love with my daughter-in-law, but recently she showed her true nature.

No matter what they say, trickster He will always find a way to prove himself. Men are considered simpler, more straightforward, while women show their intelligence and ingenuity in all areas of life. In family life there is always an opportunity to feel great, even if the husband does not receive a huge salary. Or change your husband to a better option. And at work you can get comfortable, even if other colleagues constantly complain about unbearable working conditions.



The main thing is to show ingenuity in time. And do not forget to take care of your appearance. Then other people will reach out to you, everyone likes accuracy. And then it’s just a matter of small things: push where there is a possibility. And do not overdo it if the time has not yet come. And if everything goes according to plan, hello, you comfortable life! I've been looking for you for so long.

My daughter-in-law is a very intelligent and well-read girl. I don't think I'm stupid, but compared to Vika, I sometimes feel uncomfortable. And between us, for a moment, more than twenty years difference. To be clear, I am not talking about knowledge itself. Almost any information can be gleaned from books or the Internet. I'm talking about how quickly she can make the right decisions. How easy it is to have any conversation. People like that have always earned me respect.

Even at the courtship stage, my son was buzzing all my ears about what an unforgettable girl he met and how he would like to establish a relationship with her. That she is beautiful, knows how to dress, she has her own style and in communication she has no equal. I did not pay attention to the words of the guy in love, because, you know, they can not do otherwise. A man in love does not see red flags. For him, there are no disadvantages to the one with whom he fell in love. The brain seems to shut down at once.



So, the only thing I learned from his admiration was this: soon Kolya will come home not alone, but with a friend. You need to get the apartment in order and generally be ready. I don’t like surprise guests, but what can I do? The character of the son is quite emotional, so if he suddenly hits something in his head, then he will think about the consequences in the last place. Well, good looks, but girls like him, thank God.

A month and a half later, someone called our home phone. I didn't turn it off, just in case: a lot of relatives from the village and their cell phones are not convenient. And all sorts of local services, like, respect, if you call them from landlines. At the other end of the line, a calm female voice greeted me. The girl introduced herself and explained the situation: it was the same Vika who wanted to warn that she and Kolya would come to visit the other day. Kolya, of course, forgot to warn me, so Vika decided to fix the situation.

The first meeting made a pleasant impression on me. A modest, intelligent girl, dressed with taste, with a good job. He knows where to keep silent and where to say the right words. You're a good girl. I don't want to take too long, so I'll just say that six months later, my son suggested that Vika get married, and four months later they got married. And in all that time, I didn't hear any hint that they had any kind of fight or just an argument. At the time, I had no idea what a cunning woman my daughter-in-law was.



Since the young people rented an apartment, I decided to help them with the most important thing: housing. My ex-husband and I worked a lot when we were young. And not invested in all the nonsense and, especially, not in rest. Real estate was what interested us both in the first place. So my wedding gift was the keys to an apartment that I had rented out before, which, by the way, brought a good income. One-room, but with repairs and in the heart of the city. For young people, location is very important. I know that.

Vicky's parents lived in a different city, so all they could do was hand over some money and wave a pen to me via video link. If I understand correctly, Vika decided to move away from those people a long time ago. And I did the right thing: during our not too long conversation, I saw Soviet furniture, an old TV, a crappy dog in the corner and something like a sideboard, with the remains of the New Year’s rain. Yes, the concept of “ambitiousness” is probably foreign to them. Well, all the better for her daughter-in-law, she made the right decision again.

Vic and I went shopping several times. Not specifically for this purpose, but to chat, to share the news. Don't stay at home. I didn't want to take part in their house. I like to be an understanding mother-in-law. It didn’t make sense to invite him either. What could be interesting in my apartment for a young girl? And spend time on the road... As it turned out, my inner conclusions failed me. And very soon it was Vika who let me know.



The good news is that my son called me early this morning. Kolya was very excited, spoke quickly, stuttered. The good news is she and Victoria are expecting a baby. The bad news is, she's not feeling well, so she's taking a vacation. Now my daughter-in-law is a future mother, so she needs to be treated in a special way. Be gentle, try to please all her whims. But it does not concern me, let the husband twist his wife's tricks on his mustache, that is his role.

But it wasn't that simple. In the third month of pregnancy, I came to visit a pregnant Vick. To support, to ask how she feels. I treated her like a younger friend. There was no point in hiding something from her, we are not competitors. And their son was fine. So nothing foreshadowed trouble. Suddenly, Vika sat in front of me and with a serious appearance announced that I needed to change housing with them.



I live in a three-bedroom apartment because I love having a lot of air around me. It may not be as fresh, but it contains tons of memories and pleasant moments. My apartment is my fortress. But my daughter-in-law convinces me to move out for a few years, to their one-room. Because the baby will be cramped there, and here is the very thing. As a future grandmother, I have to understand. And don't contradict it.

For every objection I make, Vicki has two ready-made arguments. And opaque hints that she's even willing to turn her own child against me if necessary. However, her facial expressions indicate that she is not joking at all. Where did our friendship go, Vika, where is it? What a cunning woman.



She is now seven months old, so I don’t have much time to think. Even my son joined me and asked me why I didn’t want to change. “It’s just for a while and everyone will be better.” If I had known what kind of snake I had warmed up in my soul, I would have treated it very differently. On the other hand, I wouldn’t change the circumstances. She's younger than me, cunning and people love her. It's the first time I'll say this, but we women lack male directness. I wouldn't say it right away. So no, rubs into trust, and then hits, from where not expected. Such a nature is poisonous, unfortunately, you can not change it.
