TBH, I am A and have no problem with that.
My husband is B, saying my dad is being “cheap” and “greedy” to ask me to pay. He only wants to offer my dad $50, but my dad wants what the price he’s asking.
I really want the unit, so I’ve told my husband my dad will take $50 for it, and in the meanwhile, since my mom has been helping me cover the cost of my sons ADHD meds, she’ll put what she otherwise would give me, toward the unit, until it’s paid off. That way, technically, I’m not lying when I say, we’re only giving my dad $50.
But it’s SUCH a stupid silly argument. I had a feeling he was the one being irrational about this.
You’re using a variant of my “compromise!” I have been married for 32 years, so I have learned a few tricks.
