How many families are at odds over money, for one reason or another?

Question

We've been living in a trailor my parents helped us get and we have had the intentions of paying them back for several years. But now we've had an opprotunity to buy something bigger and my parents are very furios. They feel we don't have the money to pay them back but we have the money to get a new double wide. I understand where they are coming from . It's just unfortunate that this was their first reaction instead being happy that we are trying to better ourselves. We have a growing family and we need something bigger. It hurts us that they aren't happy for us but we do realize they want their money and we are doing the best we can. My wife's parents never acted like that. She said they always sacrifices for their children and never asked for anything in return. Hell, they gave us 5 acres to put our new trailor on, when we couldn't even get my parents to SELL us any land. In this day and time many families aren't talking over financial disputes. We intend to pay them back.

Answer 1

In my opinion, you need to pay them back before you buy the doublewide. It is just the right thing to do. Good Luck

Answer 2

Sorry, but I can sympathize with your parents. No matter how much money they have, you owe them before you move on. I would not be happy for you if you did not pay me before you bought something bigger and better. Priorities and responsibilities are something you need to learn before you can expect respect - parents or not!! If you are not making a decent attempt at repayment, you should be ashamed of yourself....................

Answer 3

U have a responsibility to buy that van just because they r family doesnt mean u can ranover the top of them. Just sell the van and then u can get the bigger one.

Answer 4

It all depends on whose parents can afford what? Who helped out the parents? Did you ever think about that?
