Not everyone looks forward to having grandchildren. One young couple was conditioned by their parents that as long as they lived with their parents, they shouldn’t even think about having children.
– We only have two rooms. – Rebecca said. – There wouldn’t even be a place to put the kids. When you get your own place, then please have a baby there.
Eva, from the moment she met her mother-in-law, Rebecca didn’t like her at all. She said she had no property and no inheritance. Eva’s parents have transferred their apartment to her brother, deciding that he is a man and he should have a house where his family will live, and Rebecca should live with her husband.
They were in no hurry to register Eva at her husband’s house, perhaps hoping that the young couple would not be together for long. And Eva’s parents were pestering her with reproaches for her husband for not taking care of her and not even registering her. Eva talked to her husband about it, relaying her parents’ words, while he talked to his mother.
– All right …” Rebecca gave in. – Just no children in this apartment!
– Okay, we understand you. – Eva had no choice but to agree.
The young couple was working hard and saving up for their own place, they did not want to stay at their parents’ for a long time. However, things did not go according to plan, Eva soon became pregnant, and they did not have time to save up even for the first payment. They did not even want to think about an abortion, and they had to tell Rebecca about it.
She pressed her lips and ran to her room and closed up. She did not want to talk to anyone and cried all night.
– What you did was very mean! – she said in the morning. – Either get an abortion or look for a place to live, the choice is yours. There will be no children in my apartment! I had enough martyrs with you when you were born, I can’t take it anymore.
– Mom, what are you talking about? – My husband reassured my mother. – Who knew that this would happen? Especially since Eva is going to give birth in the summer, you can go to the cottage for the first time.
– You also decided to evict me from my own apartment? – My mother was indignant.
Rebecca decided that since they did not want to understand her, she would go the other way and began to torment her daughter-in-law. At five in the morning, she loudly began to work in the kitchen, not allowing her daughter-in-law to sleep. Another neighbor came to visit, who was suddenly graciously allowed to smoke without interrupting the tea party right in the kitchen. Eva understood everything, but there was no way out, her brother was already in the parents’ apartment.
Her mother-in-law’s shenanigans were gaining momentum, and Eva could not stand it. She did not tell her husband anything, she did not know how to tell him about the situation. She herself began to look for a place to live.
Sitting at work, Eva started calling friends and acquaintances, even her colleagues to see if anyone had any inexpensive options. In order for people to penetrate told her story of how her mother-in-law survives the fact that Eve is pregnant. Among her colleagues there was one who cared and offered to move in with him. He lived with an elderly grandmother in a three-room apartment and one room was empty. He wasn’t at home very often, so he asked them to help his grandmother when he wasn’t there.
Eva talked to her husband and that same day they moved in. They had a baby, that grandmother didn’t mind children at all. So they live together and save money to buy their own apartment.
