I live abroad. It's not sunny all year round but we get good summers and it's not uncommon to have a swimming pool. Lots of the DCs friends have pools, either real dug in ones or free standing ones (like really big paddling pools, around 12-15ft.)
My DM has offered to buy a pool for the kids. She's mentioned it in the past but is v keen to now. DC are pre-teens and would LOVE one.
DH says no. Categorically, he is not willing to discuss it, no. He thinks he'll be the one left to clean it, sort out chemicals, ph levels etc. Basically thinks it's too much hassle.
I think he's being extremely unfair and unnecessarily harsh on DC. For starters, they are old enough to deal with maintenance. I also feel bad saying no to my mum who just wants to give a gift that the DC would appreciate and get lots of use out of.
IHBU and WIBU to accept the pool and just sort it out myself without his "permission"?
