gave birth to her daughter in confinement, her mother-in-law gave her leftovers, and when she heard the conversation at night, her eyes were red
I am an ordinary girl named Xiao Lin. After I gave birth to my first child, I had a special time in my life – confinement. However, this time has made me deeply appreciate the importance of emotional turmoil and communication between people.
The arrival of my daughter should have been a joyful event, but in this beautiful moment, I felt a little cold in my heart. During the confinement period, my mother-in-law has been taking care of me, but her way makes me feel a little helpless. Every time she cooked, she always brought me leftovers, and obviously deliberately, as if she was deliberately making things difficult for me.
At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that maybe she was busy or there was something else. But over time, this has not changed and has even become more pronounced. Whenever I see that bowl of leftovers, I always have an indescribable taste in my heart. As a new mother, her body is weak and her mood has become extremely fragile.
One night, as I was lying alone in bed with my daughter asleep peacefully in my arms, I heard a whispered conversation coming from the kitchen. It was the voices of my mother-in-law and my husband, so I couldn't help but lean closer to know what they were talking about.
Look at her, she is holding her child all day long, and she doesn't know how hard it is to cook. I worked so hard to cook, but she was always unappreciated. There was a hint of complaint in the mother-in-law's voice.
The husband comforted softly: "Mom, don't worry too much, Xiao Lin has just given birth after all, and her body has not fully recovered, and this is her first time being a mother, so she doesn't understand many things." ”
But can't she eat properly?Always eating those leftovers, it hurts me to watch. There was a hint of grievance in the mother-in-law's tone.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but burst into tears. I originally thought that my mother-in-law was deliberately making things difficult for me, but it turned out that she also had dissatisfaction and troubles in her heart. Perhaps, it was all a misunderstanding because we didn't communicate well.
The next morning, I took the initiative to talk to my mother-in-law. The frank and sincere conversation turned our relationship upside down. It turned out that she didn't mean to make things difficult for me, but because she felt that I didn't understand her hardships, so she had some complaints.
I also expressed my feelings to my mother-in-law, it was not that I didn't want to eat well, but that physical reasons made it difficult for me to get out of bed, let alone cook. In this communication, we both released the dissatisfaction and depression in each other, and we also understood each other better.
Since then, my mother-in-law's attitude towards me has changed dramatically. Not only did she prepare my diet more carefully, but she also helped me take care of the children from time to time, so that I could have more time to rest. And I also tried to adjust my mentality and be more understanding and tolerant of her.
As time went on, our daughter grew up and our family's life became better. This experience taught me the importance of communication, and that misunderstandings between people often arise due to the lack of a sincere conversation. Now, whenever I think back to that period of conflict, my heart is full of emotion and joy of growth.
On the way to becoming a mother, I learned a lot and gained a lot. Family is a welcoming harbor, and I will strive to make this harbor full of love and understanding, and create a happy environment for my children to grow up. Every moment in life deserves to be cherished, and I will take a positive attitude towards a better time in the future.
