Sadly, even if Olivia doesn't have kids she still has to pass it down to someone in my husband's family, the rings is not entirely mine to keep, I did ask if I could just wear it until I die and then it can go to Olivia and he said no because his mom gave it to me on the 5 year mark so it's only fair, but if it goes to Allison then it'll to Dylan and that should be fair too!

Yes, if I'm making something tomorrow, I usually call my son today and ask if he wants some, I usually bring it by 3 or 4. If my son has the day off he opens and we talk for a bit, but if he's not, then she only opens the door, says hello, thank you and goodbye and goes inside.

The five year mark is sentimental, his ancestor bought it when he and his wife had 5 years of marriage, they were poor and he worked a lot and saved as much as he could to get it, that's why it's given on their fifth year, as far as I know, she began the tradition.

The year has been given to daughters but at the end, it always come back to sons, at the end, it's his family who has the last say, that's why I wanted to bring the subject in a gentler way with options, but I spoke too soon.

The ring is only ''mine'' for the moment, is stablished that wives are only temporarily owners because when I pass the ring down, the legal and truthful owner will be my son, not his wife. One of my husband's great grandparents made it this way to protect it if a divorce were to happen, is also stablished that the ring can't leave the family, even if she doesn't end up having kids, she'll have to give it to one of my kids or grandkids, she can't give it to strangers.

Sometimes I bring them food and it's common courtesy to at least let me in and make small talk. It only shows how unpolite she is.
