Since ancient times, parents' love for their children has been selfless and sincere. Even when they are very old, they still can't let go of their care and love for their children. As long as the children need it, parents are willing to spare no effort to help and be their solid backing.
After retirement, many old people give up their comfortable life and help their children take care of them. Some elderly people even endure physical discomfort, acclimatization and other factors, and bring their children from rural areas to cities. For parents, the happiness of children is their happiness.
In fact, the elderly never ask for anything in return for helping their children, but the children have to understand their parents' wishes. They usually care about their parents in life and always have a grateful heart. When dealing with both parents, a bowl of water is flat. Preferential treatment can be given to those who have made great contributions and contributions. Don't be partial to your parents and ignore other parents.
Some families, headed by women, treat their in-laws and parents differently, but they don't know that this behavior will make their in-laws feel cold, make their husbands dissatisfied, and even lead to the breakdown of their marriage.

Wu Qi's family is poor, and her parents rely on farming to support her and her sister to study. Both sisters are ambitious and want to change their fate by reading. Many things happen. Many years later, the two sisters were admitted to the same university. Their parents didn't want their family to be separated, so they went to work in the city.
After graduation, Wu Qi worked as a cashier accountant. Because I have no work experience and my salary is not high, I am envious when I see my colleagues wearing brand-name clothes and using high-grade cosmetics. At this moment, Xu Zongxin appeared. They work in a building and often meet in the elevator. Xu Zongxin fell in love with her at first sight and sent flowers and presents every day, which satisfied Wu Qi's vanity.
Xu Zongxin is a salesman, and his salary is really considerable, but his hometown is also in the countryside, and his family is average. Wu Qi is bent on finding a rich husband, which obviously does not meet her mate selection conditions. But at this time, things changed. One day, Xu Zongxin happily told Wuqi that his hometown was going to be demolished. Hearing the news, Wu Qi immediately dismissed the idea of breaking up.
Sure enough, a few months later, the husband's family was divided into two houses, more than one million. This time, Wu Qi was worried and urged Xu Zongxin to get married. When it comes to marriage conditions, Wu Qi is uncompromising, demanding a bride price of10.5 million to support her parents, and asking her husband-in-law to take out 800,000 to buy a house in the unit.

After the son's marriage was settled, Xu Zongxin's parents had only a few hundred thousand dollars left, but they didn't feel bad about it. They feel that their son has formed a small family and their task has been completed. The old couple are very busy, one doing cleaning and the other doing security. They can spend less than 4000 yuan a month and still save half.
After marriage, Wu Qi has been living with her parents, and her in-laws have never been to the newly bought house. In Wu Qi's mind, her parents have the kindness to raise her, so she naturally has to be filial, and her in-laws have nothing to do with her. How to treat them is her husband's business.
Who knows that people are not as good as heaven? In an accident, Wu Qi's father died, and her mother was taken to take care of the children by her sister who gave birth to twins. Wu Qi quit her job and became a full-time mother. In-laws worry that their son is under great pressure to earn money alone, so they save money through their teeth and subsidize 20 thousand to 30 thousand a year.
When her son was 5 years old, Wu Qi was tired of taking the baby to do housework every day. A phone call called my mother-in-law from her hometown and took her grandson back to the workplace. My mother-in-law quit her job without saying a word and came with her luggage. Before leaving, she deliberately took 20,000 yuan from the bank to buy food for her family.
My mother-in-law can't be idle. Since she came, the windows at home are bright and clean, and the floor is bright enough to be a mirror. The young couple came home from work late with hot meals. The son was also well-behaved and sensible by his mother-in-law.

However, for these, Wu Qi has no gratitude, but feels that this is what her mother-in-law should do. Sometimes Xu Zongxin would ask her to say something nice to make her mother happy, but Wu Qi refused, saying that since the child took Lao Xu's surname, it was her mother-in-law's responsibility.
Every weekend, Wu Qi visits her mother in big bags, but seldom buys nutrition and clothes for her mother-in-law. My mother-in-law is open-minded and thinks that she can eat and wear warm clothes. Her task is to take care of her grandchildren, not to increase family expenses for her children.
In a blink of an eye, at the end of the year, my sister's two children were on winter vacation, so Wu Qi took them home with her mother and asked her mother-in-law to buy food and entertain them according to her list of recipes every day. Suddenly three people were added, and my mother-in-law not only increased her workload, but even the bedroom was occupied, so she could only sleep on the sofa.
Xu Zongxin couldn't stand it any longer, hinting that the end of the year was coming. Let the mother go back to her hometown first, and the mother-in-law will take care of the children. After all, her parents haven't been together for a year. This is exactly what Wuqi wants. She gave her mother-in-law 2000 yuan for the Chinese New Year, and asked her to go back to her hometown to have a good Chinese New Year.
Daughter-in-law has been in the door for six years, so generous for the first time. Xu Popo is full of joy with money and is ready to go to the streets to buy new clothes for her wife. But at this time, the grandson told her grandmother a secret, saying that her mother gave her a red envelope of 10 thousand yuan and bought her a gold necklace.

Sun Tzu's words hurt the old man's heart. Looking back, when I married my daughter-in-law, I asked for a bride price of10.5 million and stayed at my mother's house. I didn't marry her at all. The old couple's in-laws took money to eat spicy food and drink spicy food. They and their wives saved money to supplement their sons and daughters-in-law, and worked hard to bring them babies. But in the end, the daughter-in-law's heart is not hot, and even the New Year's expenses are five times the gap.
His 70-year-old wife looked at the gate of the community while picking up the beverage bottles in the trash can. She was laughed at and reluctant to spend so much money on demolition. It's a blessing that she won't enjoy it. Now it seems that this kind of fatigue is what the old couple asked for. They made up their son's money, in fact, in turn, and finally got cheaper in-laws.
At the end of the day, it's still useless to your son. Your daughter-in-law is whatever she says. After relaxing, Xu decided not to be a paid nanny, and his son and daughter-in-law also made a lot of money. Whether they will pay someone to take care of their children in the future and whether they will let their in-laws take care of them is a matter for the young couple. They only care about supporting the elderly with their wives.
The old man's support for his son is not an obligation to take care of his grandson, but out of distress. If the daughter-in-law doesn't know how to be grateful and treats her in-laws differently from her parents, sooner or later, her in-laws will feel cold, and they have no reason to continue to practice their true feelings.
