Reason I Cut Ties with My Mom! 😡 1

I'm 35 this year, and I've been a wife for 7 years, living in Pohang as a licensed real estate agent. My husband is an ordinary office worker at a small to medium-sized business. My mother, whenever she saw me, would compare me to my older brother who works at a large corporation's research institute. She would openly criticize my husband, saying he had no future. My kind-hearted husband would always just laugh it off. This time too, when my mom called asking for help cleaning out her storage, my husband rushed over immediately. In the dusty space, we carried and organized heavy furniture with all our might. My whole body was covered in sweat and dust, and we missed mealtime by a long shot. Late in the afternoon, my mom finally brought over a small table. She said she hadn't had time to go grocery shopping, and offered some dried rice cakes from the back of the freezer, whose age I couldn't even guess, along with some kimchi radish stew. Even though I was upset, my husband, saying he was hungry, silently swallowed the hard, dry rice cakes. I let out a hollow laugh and told her that the hospitality for her son-in-law was really disappointing. My mom, instead, raised her voice, saying, 'Doesn't your husband Kim usually eat things like this?'
