I am a considerate and good son, and I have always cared about my mother-in-law's life, but my mother-in-law's stubbornness often distresses me. I just hope that my mother-in-law can live a comfortable life in her old age and no longer have to worry about housework. However, every time I offered to put my mother-in-law in a nursing home, she would be furious, as if I was going to kick her out of the house.
In fact, my mother-in-law and I have always had a good relationship. I know my mother-in-law's temper very well and am obedient to her. The mother-in-law also loves this filial son very much. However, on the issue of nursing homes, our differences have not been bridged, and they often lead to arguments.
One day, I was holding a brochure about the nursing home and said to my mother-in-law with great anticipation: "Mother-in-law, look at how beautiful this nursing home is! The environment is beautiful, the facilities are complete, and there is 24-hour nursing service." We're much more relieved that you're there. "
The mother-in-law frowned, her face full of displeasure: "I don't want to go to that kind of place! I am so comfortable at home, how can I go to that kind of place and be manipulated by others!"
"But mother-in-law, your health is getting worse and worse, and we are so worried about you. When you go to a nursing home, there are professionals to take care of us, and we are much more at ease. I continued to persuade.
"What's wrong with my body? I'm doing well at home alone! You're too much of a heart!" The mother-in-law retorted angrily, "I'm going to a nursing home?
"Mother-in-law, how can it be? You're old, and we're just worried about what might happen to you when you're home alone. I quickly explained.
"What an accident is not unexpected? I know my physical condition better than any of you!" The mother-in-law said confidently, "If I go to a nursing home, you still have to happily kick me, an 'eyesore' old woman, out of the house?"
When I saw that persuasion was ineffective, I had no choice but to give up. But my mother-in-law was furious, and rebuked me for being unfilial, and dared to want to kick her out of the house. I couldn't argue, but my mother-in-law didn't listen at all. In the end, we were at a stalemate, and we went back with our own hearts.
When I got home, I was helpless. Of course, I didn't want to drive my mother-in-law out of the house, but out of concern for her. But my mother-in-law always pushed all my kindness away, and I was so troubled.
I kept thinking about the quarrel with my mother-in-law, and I had mixed feelings. I understand that my mother-in-law's stubbornness is motivated by a desire to live freely, but at the same time, I am well aware that her body is in dire straits, and accidents may occur at any time. I was so worried about her safety.
However, if she forcibly sent her mother-in-law to a nursing home, she would definitely be heartbroken. I couldn't bear to hurt her heart with my own hands. I love her more than I love myself, and I must not do such a hurtful thing.
On the mother-in-law's side, she returned home angrily, and her anger could not be extinguished. She scolded me: "You, an unfilial son, want to kick me out of the house! I have worked hard all my life for this family." I didn't expect to be kicked out of my house by you in my old age!"
"Mother-in-law, why do you think that? Where do I mean to drive you out?" I tried to explain, but my mother-in-law didn't listen at all.
"Don't quibble! If you don't want to kick me out, why would you offer to send me to a nursing home? You think I'm an old woman, you're an eyesore, right?" The more the mother-in-law thought about it, the more angry she became, and tears rolled in her eyes, "I love this family so much! How could I be willing to leave this house and be at the mercy of others?"
Watching my mother-in-law cry, my heart hurt like a knife. I tried to comfort her, but she pushed her away. "Don't touch me! I will never leave this house! Even if you really want to get rid of me, I will never leave! I would rather cut off the father-son relationship with you!" The mother-in-law said through gritted teeth.
I was completely crushed by my mother-in-law's words, and tears welled up in my eyes. I was just so worried about her safety! But no matter how I explained it, my mother-in-law insisted on her idea, and we were at a stalemate.
In this way, my mother-in-law and I drifted apart, and the relationship fell to a freezing point. I was struggling with what to do, I didn't want to force my mother-in-law, but at the same time I couldn't give up my love for her. The mother-in-law was angry and uneasy, fearing that one day she would be kicked out of the house. The knots between us became deeper and deeper, and communication became more and more difficult.
A few days later, I found my mother-in-law again, hoping to clear up the misunderstanding between us. I patiently explained, "Mother-in-law, why would I want to kick you out? You are my real mother! I was so worried about your safety that I offered to let you stay in a nursing home." The environment and service there are very good. "
"I don't want to go to that kind of place!" The mother-in-law said categorically, "If I go, you can wait to kick me out of the house!"
"Mother-in-law, why do you think that?" I reluctantly said, "We're all for your good." You're getting older, and we just want you to live a comfortable old age and not have to worry about housework anymore. "
"You think I'm an old woman, aren't you?!" The mother-in-law said angrily, "I don't believe your nonsense! You just want to kick out me, an old woman who is in the way, so that you can be at home for yourself!"
My mother-in-law's words were like a sharp sword piercing my heart, and I was speechless. How could I think she was in the way? She is the person I love the most!
"Mother-in-law, why do you think that?" I choked up and said, "You're my real mother, how could I think you're in the way?" We offered to put you in a nursing home out of concern for you. There are professionals who take care of you 24 hours a day, so you will be safe and sound. "
"You don't come here! I'm going to a nursing home, and you're just waiting to kick me, an eyesore, out of the house!" My mother-in-law was furious and glared at me fiercely.
"Mother-in-law, why don't you believe me?" I was heartbroken and said, "I'm really just here for your good." How can I watch your accident happen?"
"What's going on? I know my physical condition better than any of you!" The mother-in-law scoffed, "You just think I'm an old woman and want to kick me out!"
I was completely crushed by my mother-in-law's stubbornness, and I cried bitterly. When her mother-in-law saw this, she couldn't hide her sadness, but she still stubbornly kept her face on the floor and didn't want to give in.
And just like that, we were in a complete stalemate. The mother-in-law is determined to protect her home and must not let anyone drive her out. She would rather cut off my father-son relationship with me than leave this home. And I was embarrassed about what to do, and I didn't want to force my mother-in-law, but I couldn't give up my love for her. Our knots are getting deeper and deeper, and we are drifting apart.
As the days passed, the atmosphere at home became more and more tense. My mother-in-law and I could barely say a good word, and we ignored no one all day. My mother-in-law finally listened to my bitter words, and she stopped scolding me, but she was still resolute in her desire to go to a nursing home.
Sometimes I secretly observe my mother-in-law to see if she can still take care of herself. It is an indisputable fact that her body is deteriorating, but she just doesn't want to show weakness. She still insisted on doing her own housework, even if she was sweating profusely, she would never ask for help. I see it in my eyes, it hurts in my heart, but I can't do anything about it.
One day, I was concentrating on work at home when I heard my mother-in-law's cry for help coming from the kitchen. I rushed into the kitchen and saw my mother-in-law clutching her waist with a pained look on her face. It turned out that she accidentally sprained her back when she wanted to take something from the cupboard.
I watched her look in pain, tears rolling in my eyes. How could I not worry about it? She was the person I loved the most! I immediately made up my mind to convince my mother-in-law to enter a nursing home, where she could be properly cared for and cared for.
Looking at my mother-in-law's painful appearance, my heart was extremely entangled. I didn't want to force her, but I couldn't stand her beating and hurting like this. I began racking my brains to find the best of both worlds.
"Mother-in-law, just lie down honestly and don't move, I'll go get you some medicine. I whispered, for fear of annoying her.
After bandaging my mother-in-law's wound briefly, I sat on the edge of her bed, gently took her hand and said, "Mother-in-law, look at it, your body is already so unbearable, let's think about the nursing home." "
"I'm not going to go to that kind of place!" The mother-in-law said categorically, "You just want to kick me out so that I can be at home by myself!"
"Mother-in-law, why don't you believe me?" I said helplessly, "We are all out of concern for you! Look, you have fallen and injured yourself like this today, what if there is no one around to take care of you?"
"Mother-in-law, you are in a nursing home, where professional nursing staff are on call 24 hours a day, and there are people who will do their best to serve you whenever you need to take care of you. You don't have to worry about housework anymore, you can rest well and live a comfortable old age. "
"Mother-in-law, I assure you that no matter where you are, this home will always be your home. I hurriedly said, "You just go to the nursing home to have a good rest, and we will come to see you often." When you get better, you can still come back. "
I saw the uneasiness in her heart, and quickly clasped her hand and said, "Mother-in-law, how could I do that to you? You are my dearest and most beloved person! "
My mother-in-law finally burst into tears and smiled, stroked my cheek with her hand, and said, "You kid, you just worry too much about me." However, I guess I'd better go to a nursing home for a while and have a good rest. But you have to come to see me often, and don't forget me, an old woman. "
Tears finally welled up in my eyes, and I said, "Mother-in-law, how could I forget you? You are my dearest and most beloved person!"
In this way, I finally convinced my stubborn mother-in-law. In the afternoon, we started looking for a suitable nursing home. Although my mother-in-law is still a little reluctant, she is much more down-to-earth when she sees us so attentive.
Over the next few days, our family was busy helping my mother-in-law pack her belongings and prepare everything for her to move into the nursing home. Although the mother-in-law is still complaining, from her eyes, we can see her inner expectation and peace of mind.
Finally, on a sunny day, our family sent my mother-in-law to a nursing home with a beautiful environment and first-class service. Although my mother-in-law was away from home, she knew that we would come to see her often and that she could come back at any time. What's more, she can finally rest there, no longer have to worry about housework, and enjoy her old age in peace.
Since then, we have often visited my mother-in-law in the nursing home, as promised. Every time we see her radiant appearance, we are sincerely grateful. My mother-in-law was always happy to wait for us to come and often showed us off her new friends in the nursing home.
Sometimes, my mother-in-law would come home for a few days. Whenever this happens, we try to accompany her so that she can feel the warmth of home. My mother-in-law looked at our filial piety and finally smiled with relief.
In this way, our family finally found the best of both worlds, and my mother-in-law finally lived a comfortable and peaceful life in her old age. Looking at the happy mother-in-law, our hearts are not to mention how relieved. All the hardships are worth it, as long as you can make your loved ones happy and healthy.
