I always tell her that's because my mother-in-law is a good mother.
How good is it?
First, every detail takes into account the son's preferences.
Mother-in-law knows that her son likes to eat noodles, so as long as she has a rest, she will make her own handmade noodles, freeze one in the refrigerator after making it, and mix it carefully enough. Make beef balls and shrimp balls. Her son can eat it when he goes home to process it.
Second, find a way to meet the son's wishes.
Once, my husband and I quarreled, and I insisted on putting my favorite cactus in my room. Husband says cactus is not feng shui and can't be kept in the room.
My mother-in-law knew, and no one said anything, but before long, I found that the green plants in the room slowly moved to the kitchen and balcony.
Third, listen to your son.
Take my son's words as an imperial edict, no matter what his son says. My mother-in-law is willing to listen to him.
I remember when I was pregnant, my mother-in-law always liked to enlarge the ingredients when cooking, but the spicy seasoning was not good for the baby. My husband told her once that she never did it again.
Although the mother-in-law dotes on her son, she is also very principled.
One year, my husband was doing business, and I caught him playing cards with others in the middle of the night. We had a terrible argument at that time, and I insisted on divorcing him.
I didn't expect my mother-in-law to stand with me for the first time, trying to draw a line with her son, but I couldn't accept my husband who was keen on playing cards anyway.
I was angry at first. At that time, I was shocked to hear my mother-in-law say that I wanted to draw a clear line with my son.
Later, my husband closed his business and never played cards again, but these past events remained in my mind.
My mother-in-law is not only my mother-in-law, but also my teacher. Living with her also taught me how to be a life manager.
