My wife and I have always had a happy and happy married life. We have experienced many happy times from acquaintance to love, and then to marriage. Not long ago, my wife gave birth to our daughter, which undoubtedly raised the happiness index of our family to a new level.
Fortunately, my wife gave birth to the baby smoothly and recovered very well. But I'm still worried about her, after all, giving birth is a huge test for a woman. So while my wife was in confinement, I decided to ask my mother to help take care of her and the baby.
"Mom, I know you've been busy lately, but I really need your help. I said sincerely as I poured my mother a cup of hot tea.
The mother put down the newspaper in her hand and said gently, "I know, child. I'll get there as soon as I can, don't worry. "
"Great, thank you so much. I will treat you well, so you can come with peace of mind. I said gratefully.
Sure enough, a few days later, my mother came to our house with a large bag of things. As soon as she entered the door, she hugged her wife, who had just given birth, and cared about her physical condition.
"Baby, you look so good, and you're recovering well. It's great to hear from my son that you're all going well. The mother said, carefully observing her wife's expression.
"yes, Mom. Although the production is really hard, I feel much better now with your help. The wife said gratefully.
I quickly poured my mother a cup of hot tea and said, "Mom, you must be tired, sit down and rest." I'll get you something to eat right away. "
"Oops, my good son. Rest well, and don't worry about me. Mother said with a smile.
Mother did do a lot for us over the next few days. She took the initiative to get up early every day to make a hearty breakfast for us, and has always insisted on cooking confinement meals for his wife. She was also very caring for the baby, bathing and breastfeeding her so that my wife and I could have a good rest. Both of us were very touched and felt that with our mother's help, life was much easier.
Until one day, my wife suddenly said to me, "Honey, I don't think it's good for my mother to stay here." We should let her go back to rest on her own. "
When I heard my wife's words, I was a little surprised and confused: "What's the matter, dear? Hasn't Mommy been helping us take care of you and the baby? Aren't you grateful for her help?"
The wife sighed and said, "Yes, I am grateful for my mother's help. However, I feel that she has been here for too long, and it has an impact on her own life. Moreover, as new parents, we should also learn to take care of the baby independently and not rely on others all the time. "
I pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I understand your concern, dear. However, mom is here to help us. We do need her care now, and I don't want her to be exhausted in vain. "
My wife looked at me seriously and said, "I know you're grateful to Mom, but I think she's been here long enough." We should learn to take care of our baby independently instead of relying on others all the time. What do you say?"
I hesitated, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, if you think it's time for Mommy to go back, then let's tell her." "
So, we discussed how to get my mother back to rest. When we told my mother, her expression was a little disappointed, but she was still very understanding of our consideration.
"Mom, we appreciate your help these days, but we feel it's time for you to go back and rest. I said sincerely.
The mother sighed and said, "I understand what you think. As a novice parent, you really need to take care of your baby independently and exercise your abilities. It's just that I'm reluctant to leave you. "
The wife held her mother's hand and said gently, "Mom, don't worry, we will take good care of ourselves and the baby." We'll call you often to keep in touch. "
The mother nodded and said, "Well, since you say so, then I'll go back obediently." However, feel free to let me know if you need any help, and I will be here at any time. "
"Mom, don't worry, we will. I say sincerely.
In this way, at our repeated pleas, my mother finally packed her belongings and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she repeatedly told us to take good care of ourselves, and told me to care more about my wife's physical recovery.
After seeing my mother leave, my wife and I looked at each other, hugged each other and cried. We all felt both relieved and reluctant.
"Honey, we really appreciate Mom's help during this time. Without her, we simply couldn't take care of the baby so easily. I say sincerely.
The wife nodded and said, "Yes, we owe Mom too much." However, I believe that we will be able to take care of the baby independently. We will study hard and support each other. "
In the days that followed, we did take care of the baby independently. At first, it was a little uncomfortable, but with each other's help, we gradually mastered the skills of taking care of the baby.
Sometimes, when the baby cries so much, we feel very tired. However, watching our baby fall asleep peacefully can be extremely gratifying and satisfying.
"Honey, we really did it! Watching the baby fall asleep so peacefully, I think it was all worth it. I said happily to my wife.
The wife nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, we must cherish this beautiful moment." We will definitely be the best parents!"
Just when we were immersed in happiness, something unexpected happened.
One day, when I came home from work, I found my wife standing in the door angrily, her face pale.
"What's wrong with you, honey? I hurriedly asked with concern.
When my wife saw me coming back, she said angrily, "Do you know? Your self-righteous mother is here again! She actually said that we can't take care of the baby well, and we have to forcibly take the baby back! I am so angry that I am about to go crazy!"
Hearing my wife's angry accusation, I was startled and hurriedly reassured her: "Honey, you calm down first. What the hell is going on, and why is Mom doing this?"
The wife took a deep breath and continued: "When your mother first came, she started looking around as soon as she entered the door, saying that the baby's room was a mess and that we took care of it too badly. Then she actually said that she wanted to take the baby back to take care of it herself, so that we could have a good rest! I immediately refused, but she refused to leave, and shouted that we don't know how to take care of children!"
I was stunned, completely unexpected. I hurriedly comforted my wife and said, "Honey, I'm so sorry, I had absolutely no idea my mother would do this. What does she mean by that? Why does she think we can't take care of the baby?"
The wife said angrily: "I don't know! We can take care of the baby on our own, and she came to make trouble again after my mother left for less than a week! I am really fed up, why does she insult us like this?!"
Seeing my wife's eyes red with anger, I was very distressed. I stepped forward and hugged her gently, trying to calm her down: "Honey, I know you must be angry, but we still have to communicate with Mom sensibly. Maybe she's just worried about us too much and that's why she's doing it. "
The wife wiped away her tears, but her words were still angry: "Don't you really know? Your mother has always looked down on me and thinks that I can't take good care of the baby." She's been waiting for a chance to take over, and now that we're on our own, she's going to destroy it!"
My heart sank, I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I said slowly, "Honey, I really didn't know my mom would do that. If that's really what she thinks, then we've got to talk to her. I'm not going to let her continue to hurt our feelings. "
With that, I took my wife's hand and walked into the house, only to see my mother sitting on the sofa with the baby in her arms, looking smug.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" I asked solemnly.
When my mother saw me coming back, she immediately began to explain: "Son, look at it, the baby's room is a mess, and you haven't taken good care of her at all. So I decided to take her back and let me take care of her, and you guys have a good rest. "
I was very angry when I heard my mother's words. I snapped, "Mom, why do you think we can't take care of the baby? We can already take care of her completely independently, and you are insulting us by doing this!"
The mother was a little flustered and hurriedly said, "Son, I'm just worried that you are too tired, so I want to help." Don't be angry. "
The wife also said angrily: "You don't know how hard we are taking care of the baby! You just keep thinking that we can't do well, that's why you're here to make trouble! We can take care of ourselves completely, please go back!"
Looking at my wife and I with the indignation, my mother finally realized that she had done something wrong. She sighed and said slowly, "Well, I know it's wrong. I'm just worried about you guys too much, that's why I'm doing this. I won't bother you anymore. "
With that, she carefully put the baby back into our arms, and then silently walked out of the room. Looking at her lonely back, my heart was full of mixed emotions.
Looking at my mother's disappointed back, I suddenly had mixed feelings in my heart. I know that my mother's intentions are good, but her actions do hurt my feelings and that of my wife.
I turned my head and looked at my wife worriedly, "Honey, are you okay?" I'm really sorry for what happened, I didn't expect this to happen at all. "
The wife was holding the baby, her eyes were red, and there was a hint of choking at the corner of her mouth: "It's okay, I'm fine." I just didn't expect your mom to do that, it really pisses me off. We can already be on our own, so why would she want to destroy us?"
I gently hugged my wife and baby and comforted, "I know, I'm angry too. However, I think she was probably worried about us too much, which is why she did this. We should try to understand her. "
The wife sighed and said, "I know you want to defend your mother, but don't you see that she has always been prejudiced against me? Now that we're finally on our own, she's going to make trouble, and that's hurting me. "
I nodded and said seriously, "You're right, I can see that my mother has always been prejudiced against you. However, since we are already independent, we should try to communicate instead of just driving her away. We should give her a chance to make amends. "
The wife was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I know you're right. We should indeed understand her good intentions and not avoid her directly. I'll try to talk to her properly. "
So, we decided to take the initiative to talk to my mother. Soon after, my mother came to our house again, this time with a much calmer expression.
"Mom, we were really too impulsive just now, and we're sorry. I know you're doing it for our good, but what you're doing does hurt us. I say sincerely.
The mother nodded and said, "I know, son." I did go a little too far. I'm just too worried about you, I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of the baby, that's why I'm doing that. But I now understand that you can be on your own, and I don't need to meddle anymore. "
The wife took her mother's hand and said, "Mom, we know your good intentions. But you have always been prejudiced against me, thinking that I can't take care of the baby. It hurts me. I hope you will trust me more in the future and give us the opportunity to try to take care of ourselves independently. "
When the mother heard this, her eyes showed apology: "I'm sorry, daughter. I do always have a bias against you and feel that you are not very good at taking care of children. But now it seems, I was wrong. You have proven yourself, and I should give you more trust and support instead of judging at random. I will definitely correct this in the future. "
We were all very relieved to hear my mother's sincere apology. We know that this is not an easy task for an opinionated person.
"Mom, we're glad you were able to recognize your mistake. We know you're doing it for our good, so we don't blame you. We hope that you will give us more support and understanding in the future. I say sincerely.
The mother nodded and said, "Yes, son." I will definitely correct my mistakes and give you more support and understanding in the future. As a new parent, you're definitely going to need some time to get used to, and I'll be patient. "
The wife smiled and said, "Great, Mom." We're sure you can do it. We will also continue to work hard to take good care of the baby, and I hope you will recognize us more in the future. "
Since then, our relationship has indeed eased quite a bit. Mothers no longer dictate our parenting styles, but give more trust and support.
My wife and I have also gradually adapted to taking care of our baby independently. Although we sometimes encounter some difficulties, we always encourage each other to solve problems together.
Watching the baby grow healthily day by day, both of us and I feel extremely relieved and proud. We know that all this is inseparable from the help and understanding of the mother.
"My dear, we are so happy. With you by my side, the little angel of the baby, and the support of my mother, I feel that our lives will never lack anything again. I said excitedly.
The wife held the baby and smiled happily and said, "Yes, dear." We are the happiest family in the world. I really appreciate your support and that of my mom. Let's cherish this happiness together. "
