My mother-in-law is too kind

2025/9/22 Edited to

... Read more私は、優しい言葉って「言われた瞬間」だけじゃなくて、後からじわじわ効いてくるタイプです。義母からのLINEもまさにそれで、読み返すたびに胸があったかくなって、気づいたら泣きながらスクショしていました。自分でもびっくりするくらい“感動している人”になってたと思います。 特に刺さったのは、努力そのものを見てくれている言葉でした。「よくがんばってるね!!」って、結果じゃなくて過程を肯定してくれる感じがして、肩の力がふっと抜けたんです。家事や仕事、慣れない義実家のことって、誰にも評価されないまま積み上がりがちなので、「見てくれてる人がいる」ってだけで救われました。 それと、「自慢の息子とお嫁さんです」みたいな言い方。褒め言葉って照れくさいけど、家族として迎え入れてくれてる実感があって、嬉しさがじんわり広がりました。私はその感情を忘れないように、泣きながら簡単なイラストにしてメモしています。上手さよりも“その日の気持ち”が残るのが良くて、後から見返すとまた元気が出るんですよね。 もし同じように「優しい言葉」をもらって心が動いた人がいたら、保存の仕方を工夫するのおすすめです。例えば、(1)スクショを「お守り」アルバムにまとめる、(2)一言だけ日記に写す、(3)簡単なイラスト(泣いてる自分・笑顔の義母など)で感情ごと残す。私は(1)と(3)が特に効きました。 あと、気持ちを返したいときは長文じゃなくても大丈夫で、「その言葉、今の私にすごく沁みました」「何回も読み返してます」って一言送るだけでも、優しさが循環する感じがします。義母の優しさに感動した記録が、同じように“優しさイラスト”や“感動しているイラスト”を探している人の、ちいさな励ましになったら嬉しいです。

A message from a mother-in-law….
When your kids get married, it is not about their spouse entering the family and conforming. It is about two adults building their own family. And I’m saying this as a mother-in-law. When my children got married, I had a choice to make. I could cling to control…or grow into my new role.
