My mother-in-law is self-centered.
To Ton Linh, her mother-in-law was like a stranger. While she was struggling, staying up all night to take care of her child, her mother-in-law was traveling and posting photos on social media all day long.
Tôn Linh found her mother-in-law utterly ridiculous. When discussing the wedding with her husband, she even refused to bring the dowry money to pressure her into not marrying her son. If her husband hadn't been so resolute, they might have gone their separate ways by now.

After getting married, Ton Linh tried to be patient with her mother-in-law to maintain peace in the family. But when her mother-in-law learned that she had given birth to a daughter, she was displeased and went on a trip. Meanwhile, Ton Linh, having undergone a cesarean section, had to take care of herself and her daughter all by herself, which was extremely difficult and exhausting.
Her husband had spoken to his mother many times, but she remained unyielding. She even bluntly stated, "I have no obligation to take care of my daughter-in-law and grandchild; whoever has their own child should take care of them."
Hearing these words, Sun Ling felt so hurt she wanted to cry, but she knew that if she kept crying, her grandmother wouldn't feel sorry for her, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it. After her confinement period, she suffered from many postpartum illnesses.
From then on, Sun Ling never mentioned the matter to her mother-in-law again. She also never asked her mother-in-law for help with anything. As for her mother-in-law, she never paid attention to her daughter-in-law, and the two rarely saw each other.
The mother-in-law is sick and blames her daughter-in-law for not taking time off work to care for her.
Ton Linh thought that because her mother-in-law didn't like her, she didn't ask her a single question after she gave birth. But when her mother-in-law fell ill, she realized how naive she had been.
When her mother-in-law fell ill, she only visited her a couple of times out of obligation. On her third visit, her mother-in-law spoke directly to her husband, criticizing her for not taking time off work to care for her and calling her an unfilial daughter-in-law. Her husband, hearing this, also criticized her for not respecting his parents, saying that if she had, she would have proactively helped them earlier.
Upon hearing this, Ton Linh was utterly stunned. Instead of directly refuting her mother-in-law's criticism, she instead asked her three questions in return.
"When my husband and I got married, how much money did you spend on the dowry? Where were you while I was recovering from childbirth? And furthermore, for the past three years, while I've been struggling to take care of the baby, where have you been and what have you been doing?"
Without giving her mother-in-law a chance to speak, she finally blurted out what she had been holding in her heart for so long:
"When I got married, my mother didn't spend a single penny on the dowry. While I was still recovering from childbirth, she traveled everywhere. Moreover, she hates her granddaughter and always seems to avoid her. Tell me, how should I treat my mother?"
Sun Ling's words made her mother-in-law, who was lying in bed, blush and become speechless.
Contrary to her attitude, her husband advised her to let go of everything, saying that the past was in the past and shouldn't be brought up again. Besides, her mother wasn't responsible for taking care of the grandchild. What needed to be discussed was the present; her mother was sick now, and it would be truly unfilial if Sun Ling didn't take care of her.
Her husband's advice was the direct cause of her immediate decision to leave. With a husband like that, no amount of persuasion would make him understand. Seeing his wife suffer so much injustice and only telling her to endure it is unworthy of a husband.
If a mother-in-law is inconsiderate, don't blame her daughter-in-law for being heartless.
In this world, there are people who don't know right from wrong but still expect everyone to treat them with kindness and respect. For example, when a daughter-in-law is still recovering from childbirth, the mother-in-law shows no concern or helps her with anything, instead going on vacation and enjoying life.
Although a mother-in-law is not obligated to care for her grandchildren, a good mother-in-law will help her daughter-in-law. Later, the daughter-in-law will reciprocate with filial piety.
Human beings depend on each other to survive. Therefore, if you are sincere with others, they will remember it forever; conversely, if you treat others poorly, they may remember it for the rest of their lives.
