My mom has always been an important figure in my life. From my teenage years to my wedding, she has been there for me. However, something unexpected happened recently. Despite there being millions of men out there, she developed feelings for my husband, Matt.

At first, I couldn’t believe it. Matt and I have been happily married for eight years and have two wonderful daughters. Our family life is pretty relaxed and enjoyable. We live just twenty minutes away from my mom, which I thought would be great since it had always been just the two of us growing up.

My mom is a single lady who takes great pride in looking much younger than her actual age. I have to admit, her skincare routine is definitely paying off because she looks amazing.

To make things easier for everyone, I thought it would be a win-win situation if my mom spent time with us during the day. The kids would be entertained, and Matt wouldn’t be bothered by them while he was working. I would come home every day and cook while my mom sat at the counter, sharing stories about what they had been up to.

But things took a turn for the worse. For weeks, all my mom would do was complain about Matt. She would say, “He’s so lazy! He spends hours behind his computer or watching TV. He doesn’t even check on the kids and me to see if we’re okay.”

I tried to reason with her, telling her that’s just how he works and that he takes breaks in between. But she was convinced that he was simply lazy.
