嫁の出産133 ～嫁のお義父さんに地味に怒られる～

嫁と、もうすぐ３ヶ月になる娘は嫁の実家に帰っている。

ケンカしたとかではなく、年末でボクの仕事やら各所の参加しないといけない忘年会やらが重なって娘を一緒に見てやれないのもあり、どうせ正月にも行くんだし、お義母さんもいるし、クリスマスから実家に１０日ばかしお世話になることになった。

ボクは行くときに一緒にいき、昨日の水曜日にも嫁と娘の顔を見に再度行った。

お昼に最寄り駅に着き、嫁のご両親と嫁と娘と３人でららぽーとに行き、楽しい昼食と買い物を堪能し、夕方に帰ってきた。

ボクは夜に仕事があり、泊まりたかったが帰らないといけない。

晩御飯も一緒に食べ、１９時半ごろに帰ろうとしたのだが、お義父さんが駅まで車で送ってくれることになった。

世の旦那さんたちは嫁のお義父さんとからむことを嫌がる人が多いみたいだが、ボクはお義父さんもお義母さんもなんの気兼ねもなく話せる。

最寄り駅までは歩いて１０分ほどなので「助かります！」と、２人で車に乗り込んだ。

車では５分の道のり。

ボクはお義父さんに教えてもらっているゴルフの練習状況を話した。

暖かくなったら一緒にコースデビューをさせてください、とかなんとか。

そんな和やかな中、もうあと１分ほどで駅に着くころ、お義父さんが言った。

「年末はもう来れないのか？」

「そうなんです。次はお正月に来ます」

「あれだぞ、別に夜中でも帰って来れるなら帰ってきて、朝に仕事に行けばいいからな」

「でも、最終電車とかになっちゃうんで、嫁も赤ちゃんもお義母さんも寝てますしね」

「そんなのは気にしなくていい。玄関の鍵も娘（ボクの嫁）に開けさせればいいし、メシも何かしら残ってるだろうから、自分の家みたいに使っていいからな」

ありがたい言葉だが、夜中に授乳で起きないといけない嫁を中途半端な時間に起こすのもあれだし、ボクのせいでお義母さんを起こしてしまっても申し訳ないし、まだ赤ちゃんの娘が起きたりなんかしたら嫁にもさらに負担がかかる。

お義父さんは昔の人なので、嫁との関係性が現代の夫婦と少しズレているのかもしれない。

ボクもそれができるならやりたい。

夜中に帰っていいのなら嫁の実家から通えなくもないし。

でも娘を起こしたりなんかしたら嫁は絶対、無理して帰ってくるな、となる。

難しいなー。
