Does TV in the bedroom interfere with family happiness? The heroine of our history is convinced that yes. She raised and married two sons and almost tamed daughters-in-law. From the height of the years lived, a wise woman knows better how it should be. But do her loved ones agree with her? Let's find out.
TV in the bedroom Olga again met her husband from work without a mood. With a sour face, she put a stew into a plate, and then looked into the void for a long time while her husband had dinner. Sasha sighed quietly: if you do not pay attention to this, he will be accused of callousness. But you don't have to guess. He knew what the problem was. Or rather, a coma.
- What, mom came in again?
The girl wrinkled her nose and crooked like she was chewing a lemon.
- She did. I started my favorite song again! You know what she told me this time? That buckwheat should be put in hot water, not cold. And to buy salt only iodized. Here, the indignant wife pointed at the windowsill. - She brought her salt, Sasha! She also told me to take the TV out of the bedroom. Because of him, you see, the aura is bad, and I can't get pregnant!
Alexander laughed. Oli’s mother had never mentioned the relationship between television and fertility.
- She rummaged our first aid kit. I complained about a headache, and I spent half an hour digging in there. The pills from the head were intact. I think she was looking for birth control. Sasha, your mother has come to us often!
Husband's having fun again. These women! After the reduction, Olga decided to study and work remotely and spent a lot of time at home. His wife repeatedly quoted his mother-in-law indignantly. She said she had the right not only to come whenever she wanted, but to live with them. After all, she gave them this apartment.
Too many mother Alexander had little faith in such statements. My mother had a fancy house. And she really could come to them anytime. The eldest son with his family is far away, and I want to babysit my grandchildren. Their apartment was supposed to go to Igor and Alla, but they rushed to another city as soon as the daughter-in-law was offered a promotion. They lived side by side with their mother for 5 years without scandals, and now Olga arranges concerts almost every day!
When asked to find a common language with her mother-in-law, her wife puffed up and went to the bedroom. The arrival of Svetlana Viktorovna the next day did not add to her mood. She brought her vitamins "for women's health" and stopped as soon as the daughter-in-law offered to discuss the offering.
My mother-in-law didn't show up for a week. During this time, Olya seemed to throw a stone from her shoulders, relaxed and disintegrated a stormy work and home activities.
The sudden visit of Svetlana Viktorovna did not spoil the mood of her daughter-in-law. She hospitably flitted around her mother-in-law, trying to please. But immediately everything shrank after a strict question: "Are you pregnant?"
The negative answer angered the guest, but she only indignantly pressed her lips. Olga softly, almost ingratiatingly began to explain. My mother-in-law is the first to learn of a joyous event. But while they don't want children, it's only the second year together. In the meantime, Olga is taking care of her husband, feeding rascals. If my mother came a little less often, she would have had more time.
In these words, the pensioner exploded. She'll come whenever she wants. Otherwise, the daughter-in-law will ruin her son and apartment. And in general, Olga is an ungrateful stubborn. She blamed everything on her husband, and she chills at home all day. That's why he doesn't want kids. After all, they need care, and such a slacker even flowers in pots wither.
How do you calm your mother-in-law? Olya listened and knew that she could not change anything. For half a day visiting the father-in-law again sucked all the juices out of her. So in the evening the girl recruited the wife of Sasha's brother, Alla. Ask for advice and support.
Ol, this is useless. We fought her for two years. She thinks she has the right to run the economy on an equal footing with us. And you haven't given birth yet. When we had Sonya, my mother was on the doorstep with the first cocks. Even Igor got tired of it.
And the woman made a good decision. Let Olin's husband feel the suffocating care of his mother. He's at work all day and rarely sees her. So let Sasha spend a vacation in the company of Svetlana Viktorovna. The girl just has to figure out how to do it.
While the girl was thinking, her mother-in-law visited them several times with valuable advice. As a result, the husband did remove the TV from the bedroom, at her insistence bought several sets of towels instead of "your faded." And suddenly for Olga sharply wanted children.
By then, the plan was ripe. The girl offered her beloved to spend a vacation with her family, but he expectedly resisted: two weeks with her mother-in-law is too much. His wife rightly noticed that his mother came to them every day, but he just brushed it off. It's not for the whole day.
Then the wife said that she will go to her mother earlier, and Sasha will come when she is ripe. That's what we decided.
Having put his beloved on the train, on the first evening Alexander decided to indulge in all the joys of bachelor life. He loved his wife, but frequent complaints about his mother-in-law tired him. In the plans loomed cold beer with fish and the new season of the series. What a grace!
No sooner had the man come home and disassemble shopping bags than knocking on the door. My mother was on the doorstep. She sorted out the groceries herself, cooked dinner, cleaned up. The next night, it all happened again. While the woman washed all the dishes in the kitchen cabinet and defrosted the refrigerator, she shared plans with her son. We need to reshuffle the living room and paste the wallpaper in the hallway while Oli is away.
At first, Sasha sluggishly refused help. But when the mother began to bake Olga, the man felt that he was boiling. And the hostess is bad, and motherhood is not worried about the future. Resentment for his woman took over.
- Mom, this is no longer the gate. Please, let's just keep coming in less often, okay? We are adults and not armless, we can clean and fix everything ourselves. I like the way Olya cooks! And the TV in the bedroom didn't bother me! We will have children when we are ready. You don't have to take care of us. We thank you for the apartment and for your help, but we want to...
From such harsh words Svetlana Viktorovna broke into tears. That's how the daughter-in-law turned his son against his mother. Sasha did not want to quarrel with her mother, but she continued to put pressure on her feelings of guilt.
- Mom, if you don’t stop visiting us every day, I’ll divorce Olia. And he continued, seeing a joyful light in his tearful eyes. - You don't get it. I love her and will be miserable without her. And it will be on your conscience.
- “Do whatever you want,” she said in her heart. Finished cleaning and left.
Consumed by guilt, Alexander spent the last week of his vacation alone. And to resolve the conflict helped the beloved wife. After returning from her parents, Olya did not believe that her husband was left without mother’s attention for a whole week. After hearing the whole story, she smiled slyly:
- Sasha, let's go to my mom's tomorrow. I promised her... Let me know the first time we've fulfilled her main request.
Misunderstanding in the eyes of the husband was slowly replaced by awareness.
- You're pregnant!
Having received a joyful nod in response, he swirled a laughing Olya in his arms. A little later, the girl said that the other day she called her mother-in-law. I was very surprised to hear a man’s voice in front of me, offering “the lovely Light to taste wonderful homemade wine.” There seems to be another interest in her life. Adult children can now breathe calmly.
