At the age of 68, I cut off my daughter-in-law's living expenses, and five days later, my mother-in-law actually worked in a supermarket, and I finally understood

The silence and understanding of family affection

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, I have entered my old age, and I am 68 years old this year. Looking back, I have witnessed the ups and downs of my family, and I have also experienced the warmth and complexity of family affection. And a recent incident has given me a deeper understanding of family affection.

In the past, I have been subsidizing my daughter-in-law's family's living expenses in the hope that they can live a stable life. But as time went on, I began to realize that this kind of funding seemed to be a dependency rather than a help. I began to wonder if I should teach them to be independent and learn to take responsibility for the family.

So, I made a decision to cut off my daughter-in-law's living expenses. I understand that this decision may cause them some difficulties, but I think it is necessary. I hope that through their own efforts, they can find the direction of life and learn to be independent.

However, five days later, I happened to see my mother-in-law in the supermarket. She was working hard there, her figure looking so tired, but so determined. This scene left me with mixed feelings, and I began to reflect on whether I had made the right decision.

After some thought, I finally understood the meaning behind my mother's actions. She chose to work not because the pressures of life forced her to do so, but because she wanted to prove her worth and contribute to her family. She told me with her actions that even if you are old, you can't give up your pursuit and love of life.

At the same time, I also realized that my previous decision to cut off the supply may have been too simplistic and straightforward. I ignored the actual situation of my daughter-in-law's family and did not take into account their feelings and needs. I should have been more understanding and supportive of them, rather than simply cutting off funding.

This incident made me deeply appreciate the silence and understanding of family affection. Family affection is not only a bond of blood, but also a manifestation of mutual support, understanding and tolerance. We should respect each other's choices and decisions, and give each other enough space and support. Only in this way can our family be more harmonious and happy.

In the days to come, I will cherish the time I spend with my family more and strive to create a warm and harmonious family atmosphere. At the same time, I will pay more attention to the needs and feelings of my family members, and give them more understanding and support. Because I believe that only by carefully managing and maintaining family relationships can we make family relationships deeper and longer-lasting.
