I know many women who talked about living with their mother-in-law were afraid to think about it, but my case was the opposite. Staying with my mother is so much fun when I selfishly want to keep her for the rest of my life.
My father-in-law died when my husband was 3 years old, she has lived alone since then to now take care of my husband. Despite the absence of his father, he was raised properly and fully. My mother-in-law is a model of a gentle, loving, hard-working woman. My husband passed away, leaving behind a debt to build a house on the shoulders of more elderly in-laws, my mother-in-law’s mother-in-law worked in a shoe factory during the day, and brought flowers to the market to buy wholesale for people at night. After many years of burden, it was not until my husband finished school that she took a break.

My husband just graduated from school when he married me, very soon after a year we had a child, so she could only rest for less than a year and then had to look after her grandchildren.
My mother-in-law is very meticulous, everything from staying up at night to looking after diapers, cooking with one hand, she does it all, I just lie down to rest, when I’m bored, I go out for a walk. Sometimes I was also afraid to tell her to take a break and let me work, but she dismissed it, saying that she could do it alone, raising children was hard, but later on, I was free to do it.
Recently, my husband has been away from work. In the evening when there are only 3 mother and daughter at home, I often see my mother-in-law standing at the door talking to herself. I couldn’t see the other person clearly, I only saw a shadow, so I was more and more curious. I told this story to my husband and he told me to listen to what my mother had to say, or that “dad” came to visit but only my mother could hear it.
My husband said that, I was even more confused because I was shy and scared of ghosts. But because I was also worried about not knowing what was wrong with my mother, that night, as usual, when my mother-in-law stood talking, I sneaked along, in the dark I overheard her conversation with the opposite person.
She said: I also really want to, but now he and his wife are still young, what should I do. If I say this now, will I be selfish?
On the other side, that person replied: I have been waiting for you for many years, every year you say that you have problems with your children, they are all grown up and not 1st grade 2nd grade anymore. Even if you come to live with me, I can still take care of you, I don’t forbid you.
…
I only heard about it and understood briefly the problem, it turned out that my mother had an object for a long time, but because she loved me and her husband, she did not go anymore. When I informed my husband, he was extremely angry. He said he already knew who the talking mother was. Once upon a time, when his father died about 10 years ago, his mother also intended to take another step with that person but was opposed by him, he was afraid that she would get married and would not love him anymore. At that time, mother and daughter were angry at each other for a long time, and finally, she had to give in to him. It was thought that after many years, the two of them had broken up, but still secretly went back and forth with each other.

Listening to my husband tell me that I both love and feel sorry for her, as a woman together, I understand that no matter how strong I am, I am just a woman, I still need a man to rely on. However, now I have just given birth, I will have a second child later, if my mother-in-law gets married, I know who to turn to. Thinking of her plight and my selfishness, I wept wet my pillow.
A week later my husband returned, he made a fuss and forced her to once again be clear with the other man. My husband was also a bit too talkative, making her angry and hit him with a slap. Since then, the whole family has been in a cold war forever, I’m in the middle, I don’t know what to do.
After that, I thought it through, put aside my personal interests, I supported my mother-in-law to find new happiness, next night I worked on ideological work with my husband, saying all the thoughts in my heart, fortunately he would understand. The next morning, he went to the water to apologize to her and asked her to invite him to her house for dinner.
My mother-in-law got a word like opening her heart, her face was radiant, sometimes I even saw her mumbling something. It’s true that women, just being loved even at the age of 50 is like falling in love for the first time, right?
