Lucky, best thing to do is to tell you you really admire the piece, and would love to have it in your home.
At that point he will either say take it or I am asking $ 300 for it.
If he asks the $300 for it, tell him it is a bargain because it is so well made, so here’s $300.00.
Now, it is yours to do with as you wish, because you have paid a fair price for it.
And truth be told, the $300 is coming back to you for your anniversary, birthday or Christmas.
Everyone stays happy, and stays talking to each other over the Thanksgiving turkey.
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.
