The story of a young mother, which appeared on the website, moved Internet users. The woman is raising two children with her husband and feels that combining professional duties with parenthood is taking its toll on both of them. Additionally, she cannot count on her mother-in-law’s support. “My husband and I are in a particularly exhausting phase of our lives. A few months ago I returned to work full-time, my husband has several large projects at work, our children constantly bring illnesses from kindergarten, so we are constantly suffering from colds. In addition, our one-year-old baby is teething and As a result, he doesn’t sleep, and the two-year-old regularly wakes up at night,” she described in a letter to the editor.
Time away from children
The author of the letter emphasized that a storm of stress and emotions had passed through their home in recent months. She and her husband are both tired, so they decided to make their lives easier. “We want each of us to have time free from children once a week. My husband usually goes to the gym or watches a match at a friend’s house. He also plans regular meetings and events of the community to which he belongs. I go running and read a book. in a cafe or drink coffee,” she explained. She also added that recently her husband had a 4-day business trip and was away from home for 3 nights. They decided it would be fair for her to also take a longer break. And my husband asked his mother-in-law for help in taking care of the children.
Mother-in-law does not accept a “break from motherhood”
The solution turned out to be unsuccessful. “I wouldn’t have a problem with it if she didn’t make malicious comments about me “taking a break from motherhood”. Both before and after taking care of the children. She always sarcastically says that it must be nice for me to just sit in a cafe and read a book, while her son takes care of the children. She adds that she hopes her son will also be able to afford it,” she reported.
No wonder that when her husband is not at home, a young mother prefers to ask friends or a babysitter for help. “She always says these sarcastic things when she’s sure my husband won’t hear them. She knows full well that he wouldn’t like such comments. In fact, it’s been like this since the beginning of our relationship. When my husband is around, she’s the sweetest in the world. When she comes out, she immediately becomes snappy and mean,” she emphasized. She also indicated that she intended to talk to her husband and suggest to him that she did not want to meet his mother. “I will tell her to leave before I come back. This is the only way to avoid such interactions,” she added.
