My father-in-law has a monthly pension of less than 2,000 yuan, while my mother-in-law does not have any pensionSince the retirement of their father-in-law, the two elderly people have lived a quiet old age. My husband and I never asked questions about our family life and didn't offer help with taking care of the children.
The mother-in-law emphasized that the responsibility for having children rests with the parents, who have lived more than half a century of life, and now is the time to enjoy life.
However, the father-in-law made a firm request, requiring that they must transfer 2,000 yuan per month for living expenses. He said that this was a reward for their hard work and husbandry, and it was time to be filial to them. Since my husband has always been filial, I agreed to this request without hesitation.
In addition to monthly living expenses, we also send various nutritional products home. And the in-laws save the unspent money, and even don't give red envelopes to their grandchildren during the New Year's holiday, the reason is to save for the elderly**.
They ignore the debt and do not attend the feast, believing that these things are the responsibility of our young people, and that the husband must share them for them.
In addition to three meals a day, the in-laws spend the rest of their time exercising, emphasizing that they should take care of their bodies when they reach a certain age. They believe that strengthening exercise is the best way to maintain good health and the greatest support to reduce our burden.
They have a very open-minded attitude towards life, thinking that if they have money, they should spend more, and they can live a delicious life without money.
For the future, they maintain an indifferent mindset and are not worth worrying too much about. In their opinion, life is short, and the most important thing is to enjoy what is in front of them. Have you ever met an old man like this?
