My sister-in-law and I were sick at the same time, but we were treated differently
Recently, my sister-in-law and I have both gotten sick. We both had similar symptoms, both had a cold and fever, but our experiences were very different. I would like to share my personal experience here in the hope of drawing attention to the equal treatment of family members.
That morning, I suddenly felt unwell, with a headache, fever, and sore throat. I knew I had a cold, so I asked for a leave of absence from the company to get some rest. However, by the afternoon, my sister-in-law had similar symptoms. We both had similar conditions, we both had a fever and an excruciating sore throat.
However, despite our similar symptoms, our family's attitudes towards us were very different. As soon as her sister-in-law fell ill, the whole family revolved around her, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, and taking good care of her. The mother-in-law cooks the stew herself, her husband is busy buying medicine for her, and even the brother-in-law helps with errands. In the eyes of the family, the sister-in-law seems to be the key protection object of the family. And I, lying alone in bed, no one cares, as if I was just an insignificant existence. The loss and sadness in my heart are indescribable.
I know that it's not that my family doesn't care about me, it's just that because I'm an adult, they think I can take care of myself. However, I also need to be cared for and taken care of!We are the same sick people, why are we treated so differently?Should I be treated differently just because I am a daughter-in-law who has married in?
Growing up, I always believed that family was the warmest haven. Here, we can let go of all our precaution and tiredness and enjoy love and warmth. However, this experience has given me a new understanding of family. It turns out that in some families, the status of the daughter-in-law is still not equal to that of the family. I felt sad and sad.
However, life has to go on. After struggling with the pain for a few days, I finally got **. This illness made me realize the importance of equal treatment among family members. We are all part of a family and deserve equal attention and care. I don't want another discriminatory treatment to happen to me.
I hope that through my experience, I can draw people's attention and reflection on the equal treatment of family members. In modern society, the status of women in the family has been greatly improved, but there are still many inequalities that we need to face and solve. Only when we truly treat every family member equally can we build a harmonious, warm and happy family.
