My sisters and my brother in law are very sweet people and we’d like to avoid arguments and misunderstandings. My brother in law is always worried about how our finances are because we earn very little, but he gets a bit paranoid when we buy anything. We have to buy cloths, sometimes, but without asking us how much we’ve spent he gets a funny look on his face and starts talking about saving money.
My sister and I own a duplex (two houses in one). When our other sister and husband started to get older they wanted to live closer to us, so we decided to let them live with us. We let them live in one of the houses on their own. They pay their electricity, water and their personal bills; and, we ours. They offered to property taxes which is about 0 per month. They gave us the gift of fixing our roof and because they were used to having central air, they had central air installed in the front house. After three years, my sister’s husband is starting to insinuate things like: things are expensive, he bought a new car and that taxes are about to go up. When the sold their home, they had more than enough to buy a home like ours, we think he’s just trying to get his way to stop paying for the taxes. In other words, he can pay it, but his personality is economical by nature. He’s always arguing with my sister about using too much toilet paper and refuses to buy her a working television set. In reality, it’s her money too for more than the obvious reasons, her work earnings and his are together. Their retirement earnings are a bit higher than what my sister and I earn put together. I love my them all very much. They are my family and I’d like to be fair to everyone.
What a great way attitude to have about this living situation?
That’s a good point. But, we haven’t had an argument yet. If everyone avoided counting image what the world would be like. That would be heartless, wars would never end and you would not have the Internet. :D
Corrections:
World not would.
Counting on each other.
