- My mother
- My Dad
- and this is my reaction to there faces lol

This can be so obnoxious.

My FFIL keeps asking why we arn't getting a house. It shouldn't take us that long to save up.

My FH's response: 'Yeah Dad, you paid $75,000 for your house. We have to save 20% which will be about $200,000'

Oh, also, my Parents paid $5000 for their Wedding! TOTAL!

They understand the prices because they are helping!

no what's worse is the FILs spending $500 on their backyard wedding in the 70s.

They think I'm spoiled for 1 and for another thing I'm going to 'drag FH into financial debt'

I haven't gotten any because FH and I are firm on the fact that if we are payong for this ourselves, there is absolutely no reason that any should know how much we are paying for anything. I made the mistake of letting my mom know how much the photographer I would like to have costs and she went into a whole speech about how it's completely unnecessary and blah blah blah. From then on, no info shall be given lol
