As a dual-income family, we finally bowed to the elderly today.

We both got home at 9:30. As soon as we entered the door, we heard the baby crying loudly. It was probably because I had been coaxing him to sleep recently, and he was not used to it when I was not at home. We hurried to take over, and saw that the mother-in-law was in a bad mood. She asked us why we came home so late. My husband usually got off work at 8 o'clock and commuted for more than an hour to get home at this time. It was just that he got home at 9 o'clock recently when he got a ride with his colleagues. I rarely came home so late except for social events. I could basically catch up with bathing and coaxing the baby to sleep. But today I was late for something and told him in advance, and as a result, I came home to a storm. She said she had not stopped for a day and had not eaten yet. My husband said he would order takeout for her. When he mentioned money, he exploded again. I closed the door and coaxed the baby, and heard her go out with a bang.

It was easier for the parents-in-law to take care of the baby together before. Now my father-in-law has been back to his hometown for a week to get a tooth fixed, and the mother-in-law is extremely tired of taking care of the baby. In the past, when I encountered this situation, my husband would scold his mother, and I would care. But in the three months of "free childcare" after moving, our mentality has changed. Today, my husband only emphasized that we went home together because we had the same time, not because we went out to play together. I didn't say anything and just coaxed the child. Then we changed into four sets and complained about my parents-in-law. They complained together, and missed each other when they were apart. After complaining, we just took it as a joke, and nothing happened. After my mother-in-law came back, she said that she was angry because she was tired of taking care of the children, and we quickly agreed. Then we divided the housework. After we were done, I felt that I had learned to bow to the elderly unconsciously and accept their negative emotions. It is not easy for everyone in a dual-income family. We are all growing and changing. We should cherish every moment.
