Need to know whether I am being unreasonable or whether I should just man up and tell my parents to butt out.
So my partner and I are both 25, we both had twelve year old cars and in the past month both cars have died an uneconomically repairable death.
So my partners car packed up on the way to my parents house for a meal. She got it towed back to there’s because she was within 2 miles of their house (lucky considering the journey was originally 300+ miles). We have had to use public transport to travel over the Christmas period. Bad timing.
Anyway, together we decided to go in together to get a new car, financed. We can afford this, we have looked at many options, but ultimately, this whole both cars breaking down and worrying about whether the car will pass it’s MOT needs to end. And we are happy with our decision. My mother however is not, she and her husband are adamant they want to get the car fixed (obviously we will be paying for it not them) and that getting a car on loan is not a sensible idea. So now they’ve got a mechanic booked to look at it. It’s not even my car, my car died last month fgs.
I’ve already said no, we’re getting the car scrapped but she won’t listen!! She’s just so cross we want to get a loan out for this car.
So AIBU or is she and do I need to be more obvious in telling her to BUTT OUT.
