4 days ago was my mother-in-law’s birthday. Currently, she lives alone, her father-in-law has died, and her grandparents can only give birth to my wife.
My wife said that she had not visited her mother in a long time, and on this occasion she wanted to take her children to celebrate her birthday and then stay overnight. But then my family got a little busy, so the plan was put on hold. So that my wife would not be sad, I called the pastry shop to order an expensive cake, delivered to my mother-in-law’s house. Then he called to wish his grandmother a happy birthday.
Tonight, I got off work early, so I went to pick up my kids first and then stopped by to pick up my wife at the company. He kept insisting on stopping by his mother’s house because he was so impatient. I thought my wife was being silly, but I had to obey her.
My wife said that she had not visited her mother in a long time, and on this occasion she wanted to take her children to celebrate her birthday and then stay overnight. (Illustration)
The car stopped at the gate, looked at the trash can, my face turned pale. The expensive birthday cake I ordered for her a few days ago was lying alone in it, never eaten a bite. Mother-in-law is too much! I don’t regret the money to order a delicious and expensive cake, and I can’t help but remember her birthday. Yet no respect! If you don’t eat, give it to someone else, then throw it in the trash. My mother-in-law hates me so much!
At that time, I was so angry that I wanted to turn the car around to take my wife and children home, and also forbade my wife from now on not to ask me to go to her mother-in-law’s house. But he insisted that his mother was not that person. To go in and see what he was up to, asking for the details, it wasn’t too late to blame him then.
My wife called a few questions and she didn’t answer, then found her lying sick in bed. Turns out he was sick for a few days. No wonder his wife felt impatient, even though she didn’t tell him.
“The cake is big and delicious, I can’t eat it alone, I want to wait for my husband and wife, children and two grandchildren to eat together. But I couldn’t wait forever, my mother was sick so I didn’t notice, I left it outside and forgot to put it in the fridge, so it broke, had to leave… I’m sorry…”.
Mother-in-law weakly explained about the birthday cake in the trash. He regretted and felt guilty for ruining the birthday cake that his children gave him. Knowing the reason, I did not feel sorry for him at all, even in my heart I was very ashamed and regretful.
I realized that what my mother-in-law needed was not an expensive cake. She needs her children to visit her, everyone in the family can reunite happily. Currently, the mother-in-law lives alone, more than anyone, she wants her daughter and granddaughter to come and play with her more often.
Thinking about the future, if I am alone, my children and grandchildren will not come to visit, only send money, and I will not be next to my father when I am sick, but I feel very sad and sorry. The more I think about it, the more I feel sorry for my mother-in-law. Not only did I not care for her, but I also turned my wife into an unfilial daughter.
That night my wife asked to stay and take care of my mother, I didn’t have the face to stop her. (Illustration)
Before, I still thought that married women should follow their husbands, and it is better to pay less attention to their mother’s house. I am not an unfilial son, I also make my own money, so I was never stingy with my mother-in-law, giving her money and gifts in full. But I don’t like my wife leaving the house to play with my mother.
On my mother-in-law’s birthday, knowing the plan, I purposely invited some friends to come home and had my wife cook for me. So he can’t go anymore. Unexpectedly, the next day her mother-in-law was sick and lay alone until now. If my wife didn’t feel insecure and urged her husband to come and see, I don’t know what she would do.
That night my wife asked to stay and take care of my mother, I didn’t have the face to stop her. When I got home in the evening, I texted to apologize to my wife, and at the same time promised myself that I would change the way I treated my mother-in-law. Through my story, I also want to advise husbands who used to think like me to change their minds. Everyone’s parents are parents, try to treat your wife’s parents as your own parents!
