My relationship with my mother-in-law has always been a mess. Ever since I married into this family, I have been subjected to all kinds of difficulties and criticism by my mother-in-law. She always disliked that my food was not delicious, that I was not diligent enough in taking care of the housework, and that the clothes I bought were not decent enough. Whenever I tried to communicate with her, she always sent me away arrogantly. Looking at my mother-in-law's confident face, I felt helpless and angry.
My mother-in-law always wanted to put pressure on me to have a baby sooner rather than later. She always took the trouble to nag in my ear, saying that "the most important thing for a woman is to have children, and she should arrange her family life as soon as possible." "Every time I hear these words, I feel very suffocated, as if I am just a fertility machine in her eyes.
That day, the mother-in-law brought up the topic again. She looked at me and said, "Do you still want a wedding room with zero bride price?" To marry into the door is to have children, what do you young people think? ”
I was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke, "Mother-in-law, I've told you many times that I'm not ready to be a mother yet. My husband and I have a good relationship, but we don't think it's time to have a baby. I want to be able to settle down with my life and work before I think about having children. ”
My mother-in-law listened to my words, but smiled disdainfully: "You young people of this generation are too ignorant. Wait until the pregnant belly is revealed, and then you will see if you dare to say so. With that, she turned around and left the living room, leaving me alone with anger and helplessness.
As the days passed, I felt more and more frustrated. I didn't know how to get my mother-in-law to change her mind and make her accept my choice of not wanting to have children early. My husband also started to feel irritable, and he complained to me, "Mom is always like this, she just can't let you go." I know you're also wronged, but now we can't help it. ”
I listened silently to my husband's words, and felt even more uncomfortable in my heart. Seeing that my husband was caught in a conflict in order to take care of me, I decided to have a good talk with my mother-in-law to see if I could untie this knot.
Mother-in-law, I would like to talk to you. "I took the initiative to find my mother-in-law. She looked at me, didn't speak, and motioned for me to continue.
I struggled to control my emotions and said, "Mother-in-law, I know you want us to have a baby sooner. But I hope you can understand that I don't want children right now. I still have a lot of things I want to do, and I hope to be able to give myself some time. I also hope that you will respect my choice. ”
After listening to my words, my mother-in-law was silent for a while. She looked at me, and the expression on her face became complicated. Finally she sighed softly and said, "You are a sensible child, and I know that some of my words are too heavy. But you also have to understand that I'm doing it for your own good. A mother's heart always can't help but worry more about her child. ”
Listening to my mother-in-law's words, a wave of warmth swelled up in my heart. Maybe my mother-in-law also had her own difficulties, she just treated me like her own child. I decided to be more tolerant and understanding, and tried to build a new relationship with my mother-in-law.
Since then, I have been more proactive in communicating with my mother-in-law and more concerned about her ideas. We have slowly established a new way of getting along, no longer as full of indifference and contradictions as before. My mother-in-law no longer brings up the topic of me having a baby early, but has started to give me more support and encouragement in other ways.
Until one day, my mother-in-law took the initiative to find me and my husband and said, "I know what I said to you before was a bit excessive. You can organize your life according to your own ideas, and I will no longer interfere with your decisions. As long as you're happy. ”
Hearing my mother-in-law say this, I felt a sense of solidarity in my heart. There may be still a lot of things to be adjusted in our relationship, but I believe that as long as we care about each other, we will definitely be able to establish a more harmonious family relationship. This communication not only brought about a change in my mother-in-law, but also made me more aware of the importance of understanding and tolerance. Perhaps, this is what everyone in the family should strive to do.
I was surprised by the change in my mother-in-law, I looked at her gratefully and said without hesitation: "Mother-in-law, thank you for your understanding, I will try to make myself better, and I will also take good care of you and my husband." ”
My mother-in-law smiled slightly, patted my hand kindly and said, "Good boy, you know that I have always wanted you to be better. Actually, I said this for your own good, after all, I also want to hug my granddaughter as soon as possible. ”
My eyes were hot, and I knew that my mother-in-law's words were full of expectations and blessings for me. Maybe she is not a cold and vicious person who pins her hopes entirely on me, but a mother who is soft at heart but not good at expressing herself. I suddenly realized that I could also be more accommodating with her and give her more understanding and support.
Over time, my relationship with my mother-in-law changed drastically. She no longer emphasized the issue of me having a baby as soon as possible, but was more concerned about my work and life. We had more communication and interaction, she started sharing stories from her youth, and I would talk to her about my own thoughts and plans. We slowly became friends in our hearts, rather than simply relatives.
Time flies, and my husband and I are slowly getting on the right track. Although we have not yet welcomed our own children, we have learned more about the support and encouragement we need from each other. I know that my mother-in-law is also silently blessing us.
One sunny afternoon, my mother-in-law and I were walking around the neighborhood. She took my hand and looked at me with a smile and said, "Son, I'm sure you'll make the best choice for you." As long as you feel happy, we will support you. ”
I looked at my mother-in-law gratefully, and my heart was filled with gratitude and warmth. Perhaps, this is the true meaning of family. In tolerance and understanding of each other, we can all become more mature and understand the true meaning of life. I know that we are all working for our own well-being, and that is enough.
Mother-in-law, thank you for your continued care and support for me. I will also try my best to be a good daughter-in-law, hoping to bring you more happiness. I said excitedly.
The mother-in-law smiled and nodded: "Good child, let's work together, the family should be happy, tolerate each other, and make progress together." ”
We walked hand in hand in the community, the sun shining on our bodies, warm and peaceful. At this moment, I feel filled with satisfaction and happiness in my heart. With mutual understanding and tolerance, I believe that our family will be happier and happier. That's what I'm looking forward to, and that's what it's worth working for.
We slowly returned home, and the sun was already setting in the west. My mother-in-law said to me softly, "Child, I hope you can find your own happiness and not be swayed by anyone's eyes. Life requires perseverance and courage, but as long as you believe in yourself, everything will be beautiful. ”
I looked at my mother-in-law gratefully, and my heart was full of gratitude and warmth: "Mother-in-law, thank you for your encouragement and support. I will remember your words and will definitely strive for my own happiness. ”
Just as we were talking about these good times, my husband suddenly walked in, and he saw us sitting on the sofa hand in hand, and smiled: "I feel very happy to see you living together like this." I believe that our family will be happier. ”
Looking at my husband's satisfied expression, I felt that everything was so beautiful. Although we come from different worlds, we can all become happier and more fulfilled through mutual understanding and tolerance. Family relationships are not always smooth sailing, but as long as we understand each other with our hearts and tolerate each other with love, all difficulties will become insignificant.
In the days that followed, my relationship with my mother-in-law became more harmonious, and there was more interaction and communication between us. We will participate in community activities together, talk about family life together, and share the moments of each other's lives together. We gradually became a real family, without contradictions and indifference, only sincere emotions and care.
Now, whenever I walk on the tree-lined paths of the community, I always feel extremely happy. Family harmony and happiness are not the work of one person, but the result of the joint efforts of each family member. I believe that as long as we care about each other, we will have a better future.
The question that once bothered me, about my mother-in-law's expectations and pressures, seems to have turned into dust in the past. Now, I understand better that happiness is not given by others, but by our own hearts. In mutual tolerance and understanding, we can definitely create a happier family.
That night, our family sat around the dinner table and had a delicious dinner. My mother-in-law's cooking skills are as good as ever, and my husband laughs and tells us interesting things about the day. My heart is full of emotion and happiness.
Wife, in fact, I have always known that my mother-in-law is a good person, but her way of expression is very direct and she is not good at sweet words. She's always cared about you, but sometimes she was too idealistic, and she cared about family and nothing else. My husband said softly.
I nodded and looked at my husband gratefully: "Yes, I understand it deeply now." Perhaps everyone has their own troubles and maintenance, and only by slowly experiencing each other's situation and pressure can we better understand and tolerate it. ”
My mother-in-law also looked at me with concern: "Child, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, remember that we will always be your backing." As a family, we need to tolerate each other, support each other, and create a better life together. ”
I looked at the faces of my family, and my heart was filled with gratitude and satisfaction. There is no shortage of challenges in life, but with the company and tolerance of family, everything becomes full of hope and warmth.
From that day on, our family became more united and ran this warm family together. We have learned to be more tolerant and understanding, and we have also cherished each other's emotions more. In this harmonious family, we can all become more mature and beautiful.
For my relationship with my mother-in-law, although it was full of stumbles at first, it has now become a beautiful emotional bond. Our understanding and tolerance make us the best partners and confidants in our family. We will share the joys and sorrows of life together, and also witness each other's growth and happiness together.
Gradually, our lives become more colorful and happiness becomes more real. Because we know how to understand with our hearts and tolerate with love, we can make the family full of warmth and happiness. That's what I'm aspiring to, and that's what we've been working for.
That night, we sat quietly in the living room as a family, each finding our own favorite place. My husband was holding a cup of hot tea and chatting with my mother-in-law, while I was leaning back on the sofa, full of emotion and gratitude.
Mom, I've always been grateful to you. Your love and expectations are my eternal motivation. I know you're good for me, and I ask you to believe that I'm going to try to be a better person. I said frankly to my mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law smiled slightly: "Child, you are the pearl of my palm, I always hope that you can be happy." I will respect and support your choice now. ”
Mom, I think so too. Whether or not a wife can have children in the future is a matter for our husband and wife, and it is not something that outsiders can interfere in. I will always be with her, and no matter what the future holds, we will spend time together. The husband said firmly.
Listening to my husband's words, I felt more determined and grateful. In this moment, I have more courage to face life. I know that with the company and understanding of our families, we will be able to get through every challenge in life.
Night is slowly falling, and the home is filled with a warm and sweet atmosphere. Although we have had ups and downs in this family, we have now become more understanding and tolerant. Hearts are closer to each other, and the family becomes more harmonious and happy.
In the days that followed, we gradually learned to communicate and care more, and we also understood the meaning of family better. In each other's love and support, each of us becomes better and stronger. This family, because of each other's love and tolerance, has become warmer and more beautiful.
Our footsteps have always been pulling each other through every corner of this home. No matter what the future holds, it is enough for us to have the company and support of our families. My heart was filled with gratitude and happiness. This home is the crystallization of our joint efforts, and it is also our warmest harbor.
I was pleasantly surprised by the changes that have taken place between me and my mother-in-law over the years. My mother-in-law always treated me in her own way, with a meaningful smile or a clever joke. I am grateful for such understanding and tolerance.
Wife, let's go to the movies today, shall we? My husband suddenly interjected and asked.
I turned to look at him, smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go together as a family." ”
Okay, I'll call Mom. My husband said as he walked towards his mother-in-law's room.
Looking at his back, I suddenly felt very happy. This family has become our common harbor, and our understanding and tolerance of each other have made us closer and more harmonious. This affection is the result of our joint efforts and is the most precious treasure of the family.
In the cinema, everyone laughed together. I happened to see my mother-in-law, although she was over half a hundred years old, enjoying the happiness brought by the movie with a smile on her face. I was moved by her happiness, because it did not come from a brief moment of words, but from a change in my feelings towards her.
After the movie, we had a nice dinner together. When night fell, we rested with my mother-in-law. In this warm moment of family reunion, my heart is full of hope for the future.
Today, children, is a great day. The mother-in-law spoke.
Well, yes. Mother-in-law, I really appreciate your continued love and support for me. I said calmly.
We will spend it together as a family, no matter what the future holds. My husband followed suit.
yes, I thank you too. No matter what the future holds, we will always be together. The mother-in-law's eyes were full of gratitude and joy.
At that moment, I felt that the affection between my family was so deep and sincere. In mutual tolerance and understanding, we have become the constituents of the family and the sustenance of each other's hearts. This kind of happiness is no longer just simple warmth, but more abundant and profound. You don't need to say anything, you just need to feel it with your heart, and you can taste the happiness in the family. This kind of warmth has become the most precious memory in my heart.
