Our son has always been a handful energetic, spoiled at times, and completely uninterested in discipline. My husband and I tried everything to instill some responsibility in him, but nothing seemed to work. That's why his transformation after just one weekend with my mother-in-law felt almost unreal.
When he came back, he was polite, helpful, and eerily calm. He washed the dishes, vacuumed, and even spent less time glued to his tablet. It was like we had gotten back a different child. At first, I was thrilled but also a little unsettled. How could a single weekend achieve what we couldn't for years?
I couldn't help myself โ I had to know. When I asked him what happened, he was reluctant to answer. But after some prodding, he finally confessed.
"On Saturday night," he said, "Grandma and her boyfriend were in the kitchen. They lit some candles and thought I was asleep, but I heard them talking. About you."โฌ๏ธ
