My son Dima married Veronica 2 years ago. He himself works as a programmer in a prestigious company, makes good money and even gives me money every month. Veronica is at home. No, she's not on maternity leave. She is just “looking for herself”, while sitting on the neck of my son.
She considers herself a brilliant artist. Before their wedding, she worked part-time in some companies, drawing something for them for advertising, but then she decided to go into great art.
Everything would be fine, but she hasn’t painted anything since then, because. she can't find inspiration!
A year ago I decided to visit them. My son picked me up at the station and together we went to the apartment. When I entered, I saw that the floor was terribly dirty, there were some clothes lying around, or rather, garbage. The dishes are unwashed. Even the cup they poured tea into had 100 layers of dirt.
And Veronica herself in a dressing gown, having greeted me, quickly ran into the room. As my son told me, play on the tablet.
I couldn't take it anymore and asked him:
Has Veronica found a job yet?
She is looking for herself. Doesn't want to be hired," he replied sadly.
- And during the search for herself, she can not wash the dishes or the floor?
My son just smiled sadly at me. I realized that he, too, was tired of her "search." Although, for me, this is what is called "laziness."
- And what are you going to do?
- There's nothing I can do. Yesterday I met a client, he needs illustrators for a new project, and I offered her. He asked to throw off her previous work. I was so happy! I thought I should start spinning now, because the client is leading very good projects.
But when I told her about him, she yelled at me! Like what the hell am I interfering with her work! She doesn't need stupid commercial projects! That's how we live.
Do you really need such a wife?
The son looked away silently.
Although my son’s family life is none of my business, I still decided that I couldn’t leave everything like that.
I approached Veronica, distracted her from an exciting game and raised this issue:
- Veronica, you see how much Dima works?
“He has a regular job from 9 to 6. Nothing special,” she said dryly.
- Yes, maybe ordinary, he brings money to the family, feeds you. I think it's fair if you make your contribution. At least do some cleaning.
"I'm not your servant!" - she exclaimed.
But you live here!
“What do you care?
I don't even want to say what happened next. Some screams, yes a mat, to which the son ran. When he found out what the argument was about, he asked me to leave. Silently led to a stop.
A month later, he called me and said that he was invited to a temporary job in the United States. I was happy for him, he had been striving for this for so long!
But that's not the point. He decided that he would apply for a visa only for himself. Like, a year will live separately. Maybe during this time Veronica will find herself!
But during this time he found himself another girl. Also from Russia, works in the same company. With Veronica, naturally decided to divorce.
In 2 months they will come on vacation to Russia. I hope that she will be more polite, responsible and smarter!
