My name is Wang Qiongfang, and I am 70 years old this year. Two years ago, I decided to move to my son's house, which is very close to my old house, and they have a child, so I want to spend more time with my grandson and share some household chores with my son and daughter-in-law. In the beginning, everything was fine, I helped with the cooking, took care of the grandchildren, and the atmosphere in the house was quite harmonious.
My son's name is Wang Wei, and he is an out-and-out filial son. He works as a manager in a state-owned enterprise and is very busy every day, but he still tries to find time to spend with his children. His wife, who is also my daughter-in-law, is called Li Juan. She was a beautiful woman, and although she didn't go to college, she was quite shrewd. She works as an accountant in a small company, and although the work is not too tiring, it is also very busy.
Everything changed when she was pregnant. After she became pregnant, her emotions became extremely sensitive, sometimes she was angry for no reason, and sometimes she was suddenly depressed. In order to take care of her, my son has to take her to the hospital for check-ups after work, and sometimes even takes time off to accompany her at home. When I saw it in my eyes, I felt pain and gratitude, and felt what a happy mother-in-law I was, with such a filial son and a virtuous daughter-in-law.
However, over time, I noticed something was wrong. Li Juan began to be cold to me, and sometimes she ignored me when I spoke, and only cared about playing with her phone or watching TV. Although my son didn't say it explicitly, I could feel that he was also a little embarrassed, and he advised me to be more tolerant, saying that it was because she was pregnant and her mood was prone to fluctuations. I also thought about not caring about it, after all, it was my own family, but as the days went by, this feeling became more and more uncomfortable.
Once, when I was changing my grandson's diaper, Li Juan suddenly came over, looked at me with a straight face and said, "Mom, don't change his diaper, I'll come in a while." I was stunned for a moment, a little unhappy, but I endured it. I don't want to have these things in front of my son, after all, he is also the one caught in the middle, and I don't want to make it difficult for him.
However, the situation is getting worse and worse. Once, when I was about to cook dinner, I wanted to make some of Li Juan's favorite braised pork, but I didn't expect her to look at it when she came back and frowned: "I don't want to eat this, don't you know that I can't eat too greasy things now?"
This has happened more than once, and it has made me feel bad every time. I began to wonder if I was redundant here, and I couldn't help but think back to when I was young and married into this family, when I was a young and beautiful girl, full of anticipation and longing for the future. But now, I feel so left out in my own son's house, and the grievances and dissatisfaction in my heart are indescribable.
In this situation, I felt more and more depressed and lonely. I used to look forward to spending time with my son and daughter-in-law, but now, every day has become depressing. I began to feel like I had lost the meaning of my existence in this family, as if I had become an ornament that no one cared about.
One day, my son and I were chatting in the living room, and suddenly Li Juan came in, looked at me with an unkind face and said, "Mom, how many times have I told you, don't always tell him those strange stories in front of your child, it will affect his ideology." "I listened to it and felt a chill in my heart, every time I told my grandson a story that I liked when I was a child, I thought he would like it. I replied with some annoyance: "I didn't teach him anything bad, just some classic fairy tales." The son hurriedly interjected and said, "Mom, forget it, don't tell the child about it in the future, we will buy him some books suitable for his age." ”
I felt a sense of helplessness and sadness, as if I had been isolated from this family. I started to talk less and less, and sometimes I couldn't even participate in the conversation at the dinner table. Every day at home has become extraordinarily long, and I am desperate to escape from this suffocating environment, but there is nowhere to go.
Just when I was feeling hopeless, an unexpected opportunity presented me. One afternoon, I was tidying up my wardrobe in my bedroom when I suddenly heard a commotion outside. I walked to the window and looked in, and found a familiar figure - it was my sister Wang Qionglan. She's my only relative in the city, and we don't usually have much contact, but she came out of nowhere. I was a little surprised and a little happy, and hurriedly ran out to meet her.
"Sister Qionglan, why are you here?" I asked curiously.
She smiled and said, "Qiongfang, do you still need to ask? I heard that you moved in with your son's house, so I wanted to come and see you." How's it going, how did you adapt?"
I shook my head a little helplessly and said, "Well, that's it." Why don't I invite you in for a cup of tea and we'll have a good talk. ”
We chatted over tea, and I told her all the troubles I had had had had had been going on over the years. She listened attentively, nodding her head from time to time, as if thinking about something. Finally, she patted my hand and said, "Qiongfang, I can understand your feelings, but I want to tell you that you can't just give up. You are their elder, and with you, the family can be more complete. ”
I looked at my sister gratefully, and a warm current welled up in my heart. Perhaps, I really can't just back down, I should try to solve this problem instead of running away. I decided to talk to my sister and see if I could come up with something to improve the situation.
"Sister, what do you think I should do?" I asked.
She thought for a moment and said, "First of all, you have to communicate with them well and tell them how you feel. Perhaps, they didn't mean to snub you, but there was just a misunderstanding. In addition, you also have to learn to let go of some things, not to be too careful, and try to understand them. ”
After listening to my sister's words, I felt a sudden enlightenment in my heart. Perhaps, I should really be more understanding and tolerant, and not put my own feelings first. I decided to try to have a good talk with my son and daughter-in-law to see if I could solve this problem. I know it won't be easy, but I'm willing to try, for the sake of the family, and for my own happiness.
I decided to have a good talk with my son and daughter-in-law and tell them all about my feelings. So, I found a suitable time, and when they were all at home, I went to the living room, sat down opposite them, and said solemnly: "Wei, Yang Juan, I want to talk to you about something. ”
Both of them stopped what they were doing and looked at me, and the son said, "Mom, what's the matter with you?" ”
I paused, feeling a little excited, but still trying to keep my composure and said, "I haven't been happy here these days, and I feel like I'm a little redundant. I know you have your own life and I try not to cause you any trouble, but I am also your family and want to be treated with some respect and love. ”
Yang Juan listened to my words, lowered her head a little embarrassed, she coughed lightly, and said, "Mother-in-law, maybe I've been a little emotionally unstable recently, and sometimes it makes you feel bad, I'm really sorry." ”
I looked at her and felt a little relieved that at least she could say something like that. I nodded and said, "I can understand you, after all, emotions are more volatile when you are pregnant." However, I hope that we can be more understanding and tolerant of each other and work together to maintain harmony in this family. ”
The son also expressed his attitude: "Mom, don't worry, we will try our best to take care of you and make you more comfortable here." If you don't like anything, just let us know and we'll improve. ”
As I listened to them, I felt a warm current in my heart. Perhaps, I thought too much about it before, and they didn't mean to snub me, but just a little misunderstanding. I decided that I would be more tolerant and understanding of them in the future, and I believe that they would respect and care for me more.
Since then, our relationship has changed a lot better. Yang Juan is no longer cold to me, sometimes she will make some dishes that I love to eat, and my son will often chat with me and tell me interesting things about his work. I feel really blessed to have such a harmonious family.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, I have been living at my son's house for two years. Although there will still be some friction and unpleasantness from time to time, we have learned to communicate and be more tolerant of each other, so that we can have a more harmonious relationship with each other. I know that this family cannot do without my existence, and I will always be with them forever.
In the past two years of life, I have learned a lot and gained a lot. I learned the importance of family and the power of inclusion and understanding. I will continue to work hard to make this family more harmonious and happy, so that everyone can be truly loved and respected.
This is my story after two years of living at my son's house. Although my daughter-in-law once disliked me, we eventually reconciled. I chose to stay here because it is my family, my beloved grandchildren, and most importantly, my most cherished emotions and memories. I won't leave easily, because I know that home is my eternal home.
Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, it's another year. My life at my son's house is still calm and welcoming. My grandson grew up and started kindergarten, and every day when he came home from school, he would happily run up to me and tell me interesting stories about his time at school. I love looking at his innocent smile and my heart is filled with happiness and satisfaction.
And the relationship between me and my son and daughter-in-law is getting better and better. They are also gradually less stressed at work and have more time to spend with their families. We often do housework together, cook together, and sometimes go out for walks or outings together, enjoying the happy time as a family.
However, there are always unexpected changes in life. One day, I received a letter from my hometown saying that my brother was sick and needed my care. I was shocked, my brother was my only relative, and I couldn't help but take care of him. However, I can't bear to leave my son and daughter-in-law, who still need me to take care of them.
I told my son and daughter-in-law about the situation, and they were very understanding, and the son said, "Mom, don't worry about taking care of your brother, we will take care of everything in the family by ourselves." The daughter-in-law also hurriedly expressed her support: "Yes, mother-in-law, the family is the most important, you have to take care of your younger brother more, we will take good care of ourselves here." ”
I feel grateful and warm to my heart for their understanding and support. So, I decided to leave my son's house for a while and go back to my hometown to take care of my younger brother. On the last day before leaving, we had a reunion dinner together as a family, and my daughter-in-law and I couldn't hold back our tears, we have become so close over the years that parting is always reluctant.
After leaving my son's house, I went to my hometown and began to take care of my younger brother. His condition is not very serious, he just needs some care and companionship. I chatted with him every day, cooked for him, and helped him with some household chores. Although life is a bit monotonous, my heart is full of satisfaction and happiness, because I know that I am here, I can accompany my dearest person and give him some warmth and love.
The days in my hometown have passed quickly, and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye. My brother's condition gradually improved, and he returned to his normal life. I feel relieved to know that my efforts have not been in vain. However, I also began to miss my son and daughter-in-law, their smiles and the warm family atmosphere.
Just as I was about to go back, I received a letter from my son. In the letter, he said that everything is fine with their family's life, and their grandchildren have grown up a lot, and they miss me very much and hope that I can go back as soon as possible. Looking at this letter, my eyes moistened a little, and I was moved. I decided to pack my bags as soon as possible, get back to them, and move on with our happy life.
I finally returned to my son's house, and as soon as I stepped through the door, I felt the warmth of the family. My son and daughter-in-law came to the door to greet me, smiling and their eyes shining with warmth. My grandson happily threw himself into my arms, holding my neck and refusing to let go, and my heart was full of emotion and relief.
"Mom, you're finally back!" said the son with a smile, "we miss you so much." ”
I hugged my grandson and smiled: "Good grandson, I miss you so much!"
My daughter-in-law also came over with a smile, took my hand and said, "Mother-in-law, you have worked hard all the way, come into the house and rest." ”
I was touched by their care and my heart was filled with happiness and gratitude. I followed them into the house, looking at the familiar furniture and furnishings, and I felt warm and relieved.
When I got home, I started to help my daughter-in-law cook and enjoy the happy time of family reunion. The son plays with his grandson and shares with us interesting stories about his work and life from time to time. The whole house is filled with laughter and joy, which makes people feel extremely warm.
At dinner, we sat around the table, savoring delicious home-cooked food and chatting about the latest situation and plans. My son picked up the wine glass, toasted me with a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Mom, welcome home! ”
I also smiled and raised my glass and said, "Thank you, you made me feel the warmth of home." In the future, we must cherish each other more and create more good memories together. ”
After dinner, our family sat around the living room, watching TV and chatting about homely things. My grandson lay in my arms and slowly fell asleep. I gently stroked his hair, my heart filled with satisfaction and happiness.
At this moment, I felt extremely happy and satisfied. The love and support of my family makes me feel extremely happy and satisfied, and I know that no matter what happens, I will be there for them through every happy moment.
Home is the warmest harbor, and I would like to stay here forever and spend the rest of my life with them.
