My son is 27 years old. He got married recently, just six months ago. My son’s wife’s name is Alice. For their wedding, Alisa’s parents gave her a nice two-room apartment. Alice and my son live in this apartment now.
I have no particular reason not to like Alice. Alice is a very nice girl. She’s smart and beautiful, from a well-to-do family. Her father is a doctor and her mother is a teacher. Alice herself is finishing her studies in medical school.
But I am very worried about my son. The thing is, I can see that Alice is not a very good hostess. She doesn’t take very good care of my son.
The fact is that my son has chronic gastritis and he needs to be treated in the spring and fall. He also needs to watch his diet all the time. He has this hereditary disease. My husband suffered a lot from a stomach ulcer.
When my son was not married and lived with me, I always made sure he ate well. When he married Alice, I immediately warned her that she should cook him normal, dietary food. Alice agrees with me, but doesn’t do anything.
I try not to interfere in my son’s personal life. I visit them very rarely. But whenever I visit, I constantly see a large number of empty pizza boxes. And they say it was friends who came to visit.
When I open the refrigerator, I never see any normal food in there. There’s only sausage, cheese, ketchup, and mayonnaise. There is never any soup, no borscht, no fruit, no yogurt, no dairy products, no eggs.
I brought meat: both rabbit and turkey and chicken. I asked Alice to make soup for my son. But she never did. And all the meat I bought is still in the freezer in the freezer.
I understand that Alice is still young. Maybe it’s hard for her, not enough time. But I was already a mother at her age, and I was taking care of two children myself. But Alice can’t even take care of her husband properly!
I offered to help her. I told her:
– If you can’t make it, let me help you! Let me cook and bring you food!
But Alice always refuses my help. My son is silent, doesn’t say anything. And just recently he was in the hospital with acute gastritis.
I do not know what I can do to change the situation. I don’t want to spoil relations with my daughter-in-law, I don’t want to inflame the situation. But it really hurts me that my daughter-in-law doesn’t listen to me. I am very worried about my son. I just don’t know how to influence my daughter-in-law.
Maybe you can give me some advice?
