My husband and I had already resigned ourselves to the fact that we would not have children, but 10 years after we were married, I suddenly became pregnant.
And my mother-in-law had no reason to make fun of me in front of my relatives, saying, “I probably will not have grandchildren from my son because of my barren daughter-in-law. Although my mother-in-law has a granddaughter – the daughter of my eldest son. I hated hearing that, but I had to, and more than once.
I love my husband and he loves me – he is my support, together we endured and for our trips to the doctors, my husband’s worries, and my tears in the pillow, were rewarded – I am pregnant!
My mother-in-law’s granddaughter gave birth to a girl last year, and I gave birth to a boy four months ago. Although the doctors said that my husband and I did not have any medical problems, my husband and I still cannot believe that God sent us a baby. My grandmother, on the other hand, behaved unpredictably after the birth of my great-granddaughter and grandson.
The one she waited so long for (my son and my husband) she is not interested in, but in our great-granddaughter she does not dote on.
When we all get together, there is only talk about the great-granddaughter: how she has grown, what she said, how many teeth have erupted in her … And my boy, as if he did not meet her expectations, she does not need him from the first day.
I do not understand the position of my mother-in-law – for ten years she was scolding me and humiliating me for not conforming to their family, (according to her, all the women in their family are childbearing), and when it happened, she even did not take my husband’s son in her arms! But she spoils her great-granddaughter with expensive clothes, toys, and gold jewelry.
