Continuing from last time. It’s Nanami. I have a husband and a 5-year-old daughter. We live with my in-laws. Fortunately, my in-laws are very kind people, so we live happily every day. One day, my father-in-law bought a big watermelon for my daughter. She loves watermelon, so she was very happy. Since my sister-in-law was there, I gave her some watermelon and she happily ate it. However, this would later cause some problems.
A phone call rang. To be honest, having someone come over when the family is not around is not a pleasant feeling. However, for my mother-in-law, Nodoka, it’s her daughter. If I say “enough”, I’ll be scolded.
Tied up some affairs with my mother-in-law feeling somewhat frustrated, then headed to pick up Saaya from kindergarten. The three of us went back home together. When I returned, the door was properly closed, and upon looking around the room, there was no sign of anything being moved.
Saaya started crying. My mother-in-law hurriedly contacted Nodoka and told her to come home right away. Nodoka complained saying, “I just went out a little while ago,” but reluctantly agreed. When Nodoka returned home, the three of us stared at her with angry expressions. Saaya continued to cry.
Nodoka entered the house saying, “I forgot something.” I still couldn’t believe that she had taken the watermelon from the fridge without permission. Moreover, when questioned, she made selfish statements like “It’s okay because there’s plenty” and “I wanted my son to eat it too.” I am filled with anger at her lack of apology and unwillingness to open up. What can I say to make Nodoka regret her actions? My head hurts…
