My son and his wife live separately from us. My son works full-time, while my daughter-in-law stays home to take care of their two boys, aged three and five. My daughter-in-law constantly complains about having no time for anything. Sometimes, she even struggles to cook meals because she’s always busy with the kids. Not to mention doing
Sarah has always taken on the bulk of household responsibilities, including making decisions and managing daily tasks. Everything seemed fine until one day, her husband John made a dismissive comment about her efforts. Determined to show him the reality, Sarah decided to take a stand.
Why? It’s simple: my parents were too busy with their own lives. They didn’t have time for me. I spent a lot of time with my grandmother and other relatives. I really missed having a close family.
Our son and daughter grew up and left the nest years ago. Each has their own family and young children. Now, it’s just my husband and me living together.

We live in my husband’s apartment. However, from the very first day, we couldn’t find common ground with him.
She has two grandkids — one from her son and one from her daughter. She dreams of taking them to the beach, but her unique approach to planning vacations leaves much to be desired. Not all family members are on board.
Besides, there’s the yard to take care of, animals to feed, water to fetch from the well, and the stove to light… When family visits, everything has to be brought up from the basement.
We prepared for our baby’s arrival with great care, buying everything we needed in advance. John helped me, even finishing the nursery just in time for our child’s birth. But then, everything fell apart.
When we got married, we started thinking about getting our own place. We knew we had to rely on ourselves.
