The bride on holiday sleeps until 10 to wake up to find out that the family has an anniversary

There are very small situations in married life, but just handling them with subtlety and ingenuity will push relationships into cracks. Especially the “difficult” situations in the eternal story step mother.

Recently, Thu Anh shared what she has just experienced, although it is a very common problem, she thinks that the brides should pay attention.

She recounted: “I went home for the holidays a day earlier than everyone else, so I had a lot of time for plans. The first day, I went out with my friends, on April 30, I went to a class meeting. In the evening, I came home alone to look after 4 grandchildren for me. The children are also guilty.

I’m not too close to everyone in my husband’s family, but I always think that when I’m far away, I only come back from time to time, so there’s nothing wrong with peace. My mother-in-law is a good person, loves her children, loves her grandchildren, and says a lot.

Sometimes it’s just a small thing that she says from day to day. My job does not have a holiday concept, the only difference is that I can work online or go to the office.

I was also criticized many times by my mother-in-law because I only went back to my hometown to play once every few months, but I was only plugged in to my phone and computer all the time.”

Thu Anh’s husband is the only son in the family, her father-in-law is also the head of the family, so her mother-in-law is the one who has the most trouble. She didn’t go to work, all year she just hung around taking care of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and then taking care of her husband’s death anniversary and didn’t have time for herself.

“I know that she also suffers a lot, so she sometimes lied to him that she asked her to take care of her grandchildren, but she asked her mother-in-law to go on a vacation for a few days. She went somewhere for a few days and worried that he would not eat enough at home. then he was afraid to scold him.

Several times I also chose to advise her not to keep the old woman forever, now to live for herself, but not to take care of others all day. But she always said she didn’t understand.”Thu Anh confided.

It has been almost 5 years since she became a bride, but she can’t remember the anniversaries of both of them. She briefly counted in the notebook her mother-in-law kept on the altar, then she had to make about 3 big anniversaries a year and 30 small ones.

He asked her, whether people eat or not, must also make 2 trays of rice to show sincerity.

Today is the death anniversary of Thu Anh’s husband’s cousin – an uncle that she has never seen, heard of, passed away while serving in the army. She didn’t remember that there was an anniversary at home, last night was on duty all night, it was cool again, so today she rewarded herself with sleeping in.

Unexpectedly, when she came out of the room, Thu Anh was surprised when she met her father-in-law’s stern eyes. She hurriedly brushed her teeth and washed her face, then went to the kitchen to find her mother-in-law had laid out two decent trays of rice.

Thu Anh looked at her mother-in-law scratching her head and scratching her ear: “I’m sorry, I didn’t go to sleep until 3 o’clock last night, I thought she would make dinner for Uncle Hoa and his wife to eat again. Mom let me do the rest.”

The mother-in-law did not say anything and assigned the bride to make dipping sauce and a few other errands. Thu Anh knows that her mother-in-law is easygoing, but her father-in-law is the one who is patriarchal, difficult to please, only she can please him.

After honestly admitting her fault, the bride quickly brought 2 trays of rice to the 3rd floor, worshiped with her mother-in-law, then went downstairs to trim a beautiful plate of fruit, boiled water to make tea for her father-in-law.

When Thu Anh’s husband came up for the ceremony, she brought some things down to present: “I went to a class meeting yesterday and my friend just returned from Japan to send it to my family, dad, try it and see if it tastes good.

Oh, and here’s the lucky money I went to church yesterday, please keep my family healthy and safe, I’ll give it to you to put it in my wallet for good luck.”

The mother-in-law looked at her father-in-law’s face, still without a half-smile, and hurriedly said to her daughter-in-law: “That child has such a sense of filial piety, giving money to his father is also very clever, do you think people go to the ceremony for change, but you should pay millions like that?

Stop eating, I have a nice bottle of freshly soaked fruit wine.”

In the kitchen, she could clearly hear her mother-in-law talking to her father-in-law: “What’s wrong with you to criticize him, he still has to work to feed his children, but there is no one free to go and serve him all day like me.”

While eating, the whole family was still chatting happily, the children finished eating first and watched TikTok by chance, there was a scene “Where mother-in-law let me sleep until 10am” The whole house fell silent. Thu Anh always held her mother-in-law’s arm and smiled softly: “At Mrs. Dao’s house, but nowhere else, please.”.

Her mother-in-law also laughed loudly: “Too true, let’s have another drink”. The meal took place in joy, although before that, each family member might be a little annoyed about each other.

Like any relationship, if we look at everything in a positive way, turn big things into small things, then everything becomes easy.

Don’t bring resentment to your family, especially when you don’t have a lot of time with them, love and care for each other while you can.
