“I would rather grow a cactus on my arm than share an egg with my mother-in-law. She still babysits her husband.”

Although some people think that the holidays are a special time full of peace, joy and inner peace with family, for many people it is the most stressful time of the year, which is extremely painful. There are many reasons, and one of them was given by our reader, who in a sincere letter to the editors of nazwa.gazeta.pl described how much she dislikes holidays. Of course, Christmas is the worst, but Easter is also a time full of fear. All because he hasn’t talked to his mother-in-law for several years, and she skillfully tries to tell her son that his wife is a big mistake.

He hasn’t spoken to his mother-in-law for 9 years. Having grandchildren didn’t change anything

“I have been at war with my mother-in-law for several years. I joined their family over 9 years ago and practically since the wedding, my relationship with my in-laws has been very poor. We have never been able to talk to each other, and when her grandchildren were born, our our contacts have become even worse. I don’t really regret it because we don’t live with them and I practically don’t go to see them, but when the holidays are approaching, I get excited at the thought of meeting them. I go to my husband’s parents. , because I feel sorry for him. I know that for him they are parents, and for my grandchildren they are grandmother and grandfather, so I cannot distance them from me.

My mother-in-law doesn’t have good intentions towards me, so I’m not going to be artificially nice to her. It’s good that there will be a lot of people at the Easter table. The worst thing is when we arrive and leave, when we have to exchange a few words with my husband’s parents. Sharing an egg is a breeze. I’d rather grow a cactus on my hand than share it with my mother-in-law. She still babysits her husband and will probably show her what a good mom she is even during the holidays. Failure. The most important thing is that my husband sees it and supports me wholeheartedly. You can survive these few days a year somehow.” Marzena.
