Nothing to do with ungrateful.
which is the other most abused term in a family.
I came from one which abused both, so I am more inclined to not side with the parents.
Ecchiecchi, READ BETWEEN THE LINES - they dropped 20K to renovate the place. I don't believe anyone wouldn't let someone do it when they don't have to pay for it. <----EDIT: Oh really?? I must've missed that =p my bad. I thought that was one of the conditions that they'd be allowed to stay there!
When I see this kind of behaviour from parents, I can't condone it regardless. If they always think they know better, then they should behave better. Not like children. I was kinda being sarcastic about the suing thing, but really, what the parents are doing isn't helping either. =p
I should have cleared up: If the parents have an issue with them living there, this is NOT the way to try to kick them out. This is already burning the bridge as it is. If this is a sheer issue where the parents are being jerks (and I've seen it), then they'll need the proverbial wake up call. That's what I had to do (not sue) to wake up my parents and grandparents, that they can't just step all over me just because I lived at home. Mind you I was only there 'til I was 19, but before that, the way that they treated me was at time HORRIBLE. Maybe it'd fly in Asia, but for a CBC like me, it will never EVER fly, NOR would it ever be justified. Everything can be worked out. Being a flat out jerk to try to "hint" at something has never really worked.
As for the father wandering in and sitting down....that's kinda creepy, especially if my wife were to be preggers.......lack of privacy, u know?
One thing I do agree is that the husband needs to talk to the parents and see wtf is going on. Whether they're hinting at something, or they're just being mean, or they need to start paying rent, etc etc.
With the way this is going, it's just gonna blow up in everyone's face in the end.
