My name is Zhang Lin and I am an ordinary office worker. My husband and I had just gotten married and moved into his house. However, life after marriage has made me discover some surprising things.
My husband's name is Wang Qiang, and he is a cheerful and kind person. We met and fell in love and came together, I thought everything would be beautiful, but my mother-in-law's attitude surprised me a little.
The first detail is about eating.
When I first came to this house, I was flattered by the enthusiasm of my mother-in-law to prepare a variety of dishes. But, slowly, I found that she would always pick and choose at the dinner table, constantly muttering that the dishes I made were not good enough, and even sneering at them from time to time. I tried to learn to make better dishes, but my mother-in-law never seemed satisfied.
The second detail is about housework.
My mother-in-law always likes to point fingers at home and keep giving me all kinds of advice, saying that I am not careful enough to do things and always do things wrong. It's not that I'm reluctant to accept her advice, but she always looks impatient, which makes me feel bad.
The third detail is about children.
My husband and I planned to have children, but my mother-in-law always opposed our decision, saying that we were not in a good enough situation to have children. I respected her opinion, but she kept nagging, which made me feel very irritated.
The fourth detail is about the family economy.
My husband's salary is not high, and we are not rich, but my mother-in-law always wants us to live what she thinks is a "decent" life, and keeps buying us some luxury goods, which makes me feel very difficult.
The fifth detail is about feelings.
My relationship with my husband was not affected by my mother-in-law's interference, but my mother-in-law would always stir up our relationship on the sidelines, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
These details made me start to doubt my mother-in-law's attitude towards me, and I didn't know if she was really good to me. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding, or maybe she's really a different person, and I don't dare to jump to conclusions. It's just that I hope that in the future, I will be able to build a better relationship with my mother-in-law and make it more enjoyable for us to get along with each other.
