We live in my parents large 5 bed house (have been renting it from them for 4 years). They want to sell so are giving us a large lump for a deposit as we were still saving. Yes they are very very generous and I am incredibly grateful. We are in the process of buying our first home thanks to them.
But god the constant demand to keep this house like a show home for the last 3.5 months is taking it's toll on me. It is a big house and I have 2 kids and a 3 day a week job which often spills over into my 2 days off at the moment as the business is in trouble. Getting phonecalls saying 'Can you do a viewing tonight?' are very frequent and stressful but I feel I have to do everything to help my parents sell quickly since they are helping out so much.
ARRRRGGGGHHHH! I just wish this place would sell. Luckily I think the price is now right - my parents put it on at too high a price at first and we had lots of viewings but no offers. The price was dropped last week and we had 8 viewings that week (still no bloody offers yet).
Anyway this is just a rant really. Anyone else pissed off with this?
