ORIGINAL: dovie I admit I'd love my grannies house too phoenix ( misses her) Thanks for understanding that view, dovie I admit my grandparents house is less handy than the one I grew up in due to the way how it is build (the rooms in the other one are simply more practical than the one in grandparents house) but emotional it just means a heck of a lot to me as it was my "safe haven" throughout my life. I admit I value my grandparents a lot, despite that grandpa was never easy, partially as he never got over his war experiences which lead to his alcohol problems, but he taught me a lot in life (such as not to cheat when playing card games, don't know why he was so tense about such stuff, but I do value that he taught me right from wrong...he also scolded me when I once accepted a lift home from school from my neighbour...to tell me that this "is not safe"...and whilst with that neighbour it was perfectly safe as a different one changed my life forever, I do value that he at least tried to make me aware of risks and - unlike my parents - did care about such stuff...) I admit because of that I would love to pass on that house one day to another generation, to give it the respect it deserves to the work my grandparents did put in...always ensuring it is well looked after and remains in the family hopefully forever...whereas if I would get the other house I couldn't care less and would not mind to sell it to buy one at a very different place instead....so quite frankly, if my dad intervenes with my wishes, as he almost always does...then he shoots himself in his own knee...cause I simply don't have the deep respect for the house I grew up in which I do have for the house my grandparents built...but as grannys house is lower in value, that should be no problem in the end...to accept my view about that topic...IF it ever gets so far (cause after all...parents can always change their mind and just sell it instead of passing it on...just because they talk about it at present...doesn't make me rely on it) I would feel blessed to look after grandparents house, thats for sure I admit I looked into mortgages today and calculated what I could afford (prefer less money and small place to remain able to move easily again then to stick to a neverending paying off agreement) following which some really nice places on nice locations came up. I admit my dad meant today we should instead build me a separate flat on the top floor of his house but nope...thats CERTAINLY not gonna happen...he is such a control freak...and I am not interested to live that near to him the rest of my life I admit I might stick to my original plan...and just sort this out next year with mums advice on my side and leaving him in the belief I would be renting that place instead of owning it....to avoid the drama shit with him I admit living so close with my parents the rest of my life simply would be like a life-sentence for me....and thats just not gonna happen... I admit I wish everyone a lovely day...and better get back on my crocheting schedule
