Having a child at 40 and not spoiling them is impossible. Ask any parent who decided to have a child later in life, and they will surely confirm it. This is just how life goes, but my husband and I couldn’t do anything about it. We tried for a child, but we weren’t lucky. I don’t even want to talk about it. Now, we are facing the consequences of our actions.
My husband and I constantly argue about our son-in-law. The issue is that our daughter’s husband is lazy. He has been working odd jobs for a year and doesn’t have a stable job. It turns out that our daughter is raising two kids and supporting the family on her own. She’s currently on maternity leave, so she can’t work full-time. I decided that I would help her
– My daughter-in-law wanted to raise her according to modern principles. She never forbade her anything, never scolded her, and never even reprimanded her. At first, I was angry that she
I was looking forward to a relaxing weekend, but my mother-in-law had other plans. She decided it was the perfect time for a deep clean of our house. At least she gave me a heads-up, so I could brace myself for the chaos.

Because now he has changed beyond recognition. One day, while working in the yard, he collapsed and suffered a stroke. Miraculously, he survived. But he became disabled. My life was also turned upside down
At 55, I thought I had everything figured out. I had a loving fiancé, a cozy home, and a modest savings account. But when I returned home, my son’s reaction left me questioning everything.
All these troubles secretly delighted us, as we had long dreamed of our own little haven. Within a month, we sorted out all the details of our personal accounts, got internet and cable, and found unexpected happiness.
From the moment we met, my mother-in-law and I had a great relationship. She was always there to help with the kids, and I thought it was her choice. But then, I discovered it was causing her a lot of stress.
Sometimes, the ability to stay silent in a heated situation and avoid escalating a conflict is crucial. I’ve been with John for nearly 16 years. Our beautiful daughter is growing up. Our family seemed perfect, but everything changed in an instant.
All these troubles brought us a strange sense of satisfaction, as we had long dreamed of having our own place. Within a month, we sorted out all the details related to personal accounts, got internet and cable TV.
I’m writing this with a heavy heart after yet another argument with my daughter. I can’t bear it anymore and need to share my story. My husband understands, but many of our friends say: what did you expect, your daughter is married now, she has her own family. It’s her husband who imposes his will on her – our despised son-in-law! It’s as if he’s hypnotized her! Our daughter
