My spouse and I don’t live rich – we get by as best we can. We both work, but our salaries aren’t great. I would say small. We also have a four-year-old daughter. You understand that nowadays it is very expensive to support a small child, and in general it is not easy to live on small money.
In addition, the husband decided to help his mother with the communal rent. That is, we can barely make it on our own to survive, so we give her money too. This is to say that my mother-in-law is in excellent health, and could find a part-time job. I would have gone myself, but I have a small child in my arms. How many times I asked my mother-in-law to babysit my daughter, she kept refusing, citing the fact that she had no strength. Allegedly her health is generally poor.
Then I found out that my mother-in-law went on vacation, and not even a cheap one. I learned from my husband, who just put me before the fact that now in the absence of his mother will need me to go to the other end of town and look after her plants. To say that I was shocked, not to say anything. Especially since instead of wasting this time on her flowers, I could earn extra money somewhere else.
But what surprises me is very different. Lately my mother-in-law has started to live posh. She has expensive accessories, and then dresses from boutiques, and then what else. I kept wondering where she got her money. After all, her husband complained so much that her poor mother can not pay the rent by herself, and here you have it. And this resort – really mom found some rich uncle who supports her.
And then one day I noticed that my husband often carried the same bag, a very heavy one. While he was in the bathroom, I looked into it and saw the equipment. One laptop was familiar to me – it belonged to my friend. The next day, when I came to work, then my girlfriend told me that my soulmate works part-time. Repairs someone else’s equipment.
Oh, that’s where the money came from! And when I asked him point-blank if he was supporting his mother, he answered in the affirmative.
-So my daughter and I have nothing to wear, we sew up our socks several times, and you send mom to resorts, and you also buy clothes in boutiques.
-It’s my money. Wherever I want, that’s where I spend it.
Needless to say, with his money I sent him away. He loves his mother so much, let him live with her. Isn’t that right?
