My mother was hospitalized, my sister-in-law gave her rice, and when I saw the food baskets she prepared, I resentfully knocked it over
My mother has been going to the city to take care of grandchildren for her brother and sister-in-law for 4 years now. From the day my sister-in-law gave birth to the first child, until now the second baby is almost 1 year old.
A few days ago, I heard my brother call to tell me that my mother was sick and had to be hospitalized for treatment. Worrying about my mother, I arranged work, instructed my husband to look after the children, take care of the house, then pack up and go to the city to stay with my mother for a few days.
From the bus station, I went straight to the hospital where my mother was. As soon as lunch came, I sat for a while when my sister-in-law brought a bag of rice cages for my mother-in-law.
Sister-in-law opened a pair of rice cages, there was a bowl of rice, some roasted meat and a bowl of crab soup cooked with hot vegetables. When my sister-in-law saw me looking at her, she laughed and said that she was in a hurry, so she didn’t have time to prepare much, hoping for a temporary meal.
I grabbed the cage from my sister-in-law’s hand, angry I wanted to knock it over but I still managed to hold it back. I asked loudly: “Didn’t you know that your mother is allergic to crabs? She lived with you for 4 years and you didn’t even know that?”. I haven’t talked about the meal plan or not, but we’ve been together for a few years and she doesn’t even know if my mother is allergic to crabs!
Sister-in-law was dumbfounded and then “ah” raised a voice, saying that she knew but temporarily forgot. I had to run down to the hospital cafeteria to buy more food for my mother. After my sister-in-law came back, I asked her how she’s been living with you for the past few years?
At this time, my mother confided that she did not ask for anything to look after the children, but her sister-in-law treated her very coldly. Many times, she felt very sorry for herself, she just wanted to go back to her hometown love you love you. Handing over the child to outsiders is not reassuring, sending the child away too early is also painful.
My mother had only one brother, so she determined that she had to be responsible for her two grandchildren, quit her job, and left the house with her brothers and sisters (my father passed away). She plans to look after another 2 years, wait for my brother’s second child to be 3 years old, go to child care and then return to his hometown.
At that time, my mother was already old, and she did not have saving moneyAt home, there is nothing to cling to. I want to advise my mother to come back, I will spend the money to open a small shop for her to sell to earn extra income to take care of her old age. But doing so scared her brothers and sisters angry because she did not take care of their children. In your opinion, what should be done to be reasonable?
