My in-laws treat me like a daughter, but they refuse me to support them, which makes me feel guilty

Muzi Li:

My husband and I fall in love and get married freely. My husband and I live in a provincial capital city, and my in-laws live in a prefecture-level city.

My husband and I have a house. Both parents took equal money. The house belongs to the full amount.

When I got married, I was pregnant. When I was six months pregnant, my mother-in-law moved into my house. She took the child back to her father-in-law until our child was nearly one year old.

Until the child goes to kindergarten, the child does not come back to us.

Although the mother-in-law did not reach the retirement age at the time, she had retired early and her father-in-law was still at work.

After the parents-in-law retires, I hope that they will sell the house in their hometown and buy a small house in the city where we live (the house is 160 square meters. After the sale, we can buy a small house on our side without spending more money, even balance).

In-laws followed my advice.

For many years after that, my parents-in-law have shouldered the burden of sending my children to and from school.

Looking back on the years of marriage with my husband, the mother-in-law will always come to our home when we need it most, and when we don’t need it, she will return to their home, and she never complained.

Sometimes I feel very sorry for my in-laws. Therefore, they will buy clothes and red envelopes for them during the holidays. They will accept the clothes and refuse the red envelopes.

In the words of her mother-in-law: mother-in-law is also a mother. After you marry into our house, it will be my daughter. Mom should do something for her.

Recently, I feel that my in-laws are not as good as before. I want them to move to our house and live with us. However, the mother-in-law refused. The mother-in-law said that when we really can’t walk, we will definitely come to your home. Now that I can take care of myself, I should let you relax for a few more years.

Sometimes my husband will say in front of me: Our parents are afraid of owing favors in this life, so they will try to make themselves independent.

Muzi Li after the editor:

You can see that your mother-in-law has a very good personality, but she is also a strong person in her bones.

She is unwilling to obey the old, and she is unwilling to trouble you.

Of course, she also clearly understands that one day she will count on you to support her in old age, but she hopes that this time can be delayed as much as possible.

In fact, you have such filial piety, she is very at ease. Therefore, she is also taking care of her and your father-in-law in her own way. Her purpose in doing this is very simple: try not to cause you trouble.

Having such an elder is absolutely lucky for you and your husband.

I hope you can cherish this affection.

I wish happiness.
