A lot of well thought out points that I totally agree with.
As far as I know, they only have the one washer and dryer machine.
Wife's parents live in Vancouver, and it would be an extra 30 minute drive out of the way from the wifes drive to work to drop off the baby and the parents place. So 30 minutes there and 30 minutes to work would mean an extra hour to her commute to work.
I can only assume they talked to the parents and the parents were ok with them living at home before the newly weds dropped $20K on the reno's. As for getting the money back after the sale of the house, I would assume no since they are living rent free. But at the same time, the basement wasn't finished and the parents have never rented it out. One of the other siblings got married and moved out, and the husband and his family are very close which is another reason why he wanted to stay at home after the wedding.
About them not ready to have kids is the one thing that really bothers me about our society. You have to be 19 to be legal to drink/smoke/or gamble.
You have to 18 to be legal to vote.
You have to be 16 to get your drivers liscence.
You can have kids any time as long as the girl and boy are old enough to get the job done.
No back ground check, no financial checks and balances.
But that is another topic all together.
I do not agree with their financial descisions or concept of "investing". But to be strentched so thin and to bitch about such things that they brought upon themselves.
