Olya listened to her friend and saved up for an apartment. And five years later, when she returned to see her daughters, they said they were offended that their mother had thought of herself first
One day, Ola’s godmother Katya came to see her and looked at her and said, “Okay, Ola, get ready. You’re coming with me, there’s nothing to keep you here. Katia had been living and working in Italy for five years. And Olya really had nothing to keep her here. Her daughters are grown up and married.
Olya herself has been in a civil marriage with Mykhailo for 8 years. They are both over 50 and live in Mysha. -“Olya, even more so. And if Misha decides to leave you, where will you go? You have nothing – no home, no job. Her relationship with Mykhailo seemed to be normal, but Olya had a bitter experience, and she realized that everything could change in an instant.
Anyway, she talked to her civilian husband. He told her that if she wanted to leave, she could. So she left. When the women were already in Italy, Katia advised Olya: -“Most importantly, don’t make the mistake of all our women who think about their children first and only then about themselves. You do this: first, you work for yourself for 4-5 years. You save money, buy an apartment in your home country, make repairs. And if you send your children 500 euros each, believe me, you won’t save a penny. It was very difficult at first in the new country, but Olya managed to cope with everything.
Five years later, she bought a three-bedroom apartment in the capital of her homeland. She came to celebrate the housewarming party. She invited her daughters and sons-in-law, but the party failed. When her daughters learned that the woman had thought of herself first, not them, they were offended, turned around and left. She called Katia and told her about her experiences, and she told her the following:
-Don’t be upset, it’s just the way things are. Your children, like everyone else, are ungrateful. It was a test for them. If they did not rejoice in your happiness, then you are not obliged to provide happiness for them. Lock the apartment and come back. Let your children take care of themselves.
