Xiaohong originally thought that the arrival of her mother-in-law would ease her burden, but she soon discovered that things were not so simple.
The mother-in-law is a typical traditional woman, who believes that it is a mother's duty to take care of her children, and her grandmother's duty is to assist. But as time passed, Xiaohong discovered that her mother-in-law took care of almost everything from feeding and dressing to homework help. This behavior of the mother-in-law made Xiaohong feel that her role had been replaced, and she began to feel dissatisfied and anxious.
Xiao Li saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart. He tried to communicate with his mother-in-law, hoping that she would let go a little, but each time his mother-in-law rejected him with the reason of "I am for your good".
In the process, there is more and more friction between Xiaohong and her mother-in-law. Xiaohong feels that her mother-in-law interferes too much in her life, while her mother-in-law thinks that Xiaohong does not know how to be grateful. Both sides felt aggrieved and incomprehensible.
One day, Xiaohong was in a bad mood because of work matters, and when she came home, she saw her mother-in-law feeding the child. She finally broke out: "Mom, can you let me take care of the child by myself?".I'm stressed out by you!The mother-in-law was irritated by her attitude: "Do you think I would like to come here?"If it weren't for your help, I would have gone home a long time ago. ”
This night, a dreary atmosphere permeated the house. Xiaohong lay on the bed, thinking about whether her behavior had gone too far. Xiao Li sat in the living room, thinking about how to resolve this family crisis.
Early the next morning, Xiao Li made a suggestion: find time to sit down and have a good talk. At the dinner table, Xiao Li opened his mouth first: "Mom, we know that you are very hard, but we also hope that you can understand our hardships." He continued, "It's not that Xiaohong doesn't appreciate you, it's just that she feels that the child needs to grow up independently. ”
The mother-in-law listened silently, her eyes revealing mixed emotions. She remembered the conflicts and misunderstandings between her and her mother-in-law when she was young, and suddenly realized that times have changed, but the love of being a mother and grandmother has never changed.
After this candid conversation, the mother-in-law gradually adjusted her mentality and practices. She began to trust Xiaohong's parenting abilities and gave guidance and advice appropriately. Xiaohong also learned to be more respectful and understanding of her mother-in-law's thoughts and practices.
As time passed, the relationship between Xiaohong and her mother-in-law became more and more harmonious. The family has returned to its former harmony and warmth. Xiaohong knows that although the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is complex and delicate, as long as both parties communicate with an understanding and tolerant attitude, there is nothing that cannot be solved.
