I try not to get into fights between our child and her fiance, but they live in a condo I own, i’m allowing them to live there rent free, and all I ask is that they keep the condo in nice repair, then when our child called me and she was crying, I thought he may have hurt her.
What she had to tell me wasn’t making me miserable because he hurt her, but because he kicked a hole in the door.
I asked why he did such a thing, and she said she locked him out, this was a stupid thing to do, because if people want in a house, it doesn’t matter what the deterrent, they will enter. I seldom lock our doors because of this reasoning. If they want to rob our house, they will.. It’s exhausting enough I’ll need to upgrade whatever they’ve stolen, although I won’t need to do window upgradements or door upgradements. When she told me she locked the door because she saw him talking to a girl, I told her she was foolish. I figured that having a door upgradement done was part of the home’s upkeep and I told her it was her responsibility to have it upgraded… She thought I should make it the responsibility of her fiance, however she was the 1 who moved in first… He didn’t transfer in until after she agreed to the rules of residing in the house. I wasn’t sure she was going to have the door upgradement done, but I’m hoping it teaches her a lesson about taking obligations seriously.
