**When people never earn their own money this is how property and possesions get treated. ***
Several years ago we sold our house to a family who always rented in the past. For about 6 years they always called us when anything needed fixing, as they did not understand that THEY were responsible for repairs on their house, expecting us to fix them.
A few months after they moved in, the house looked to be well trashed.
I had a similar experience when we sold our house to an ex-renter many years ago. This person called us regularly for a year when anything needed fixing or if they just wanted home improvements done. They even demanded we pay to have someone come out and change the air conditioning filter...a year after we left.
About 5 years ago I bought a new truck and instead of "giving" my old '93 chevy S-10 with a lot of miles to a dealer on a trade in, I gave it to my 30 year old daughter who was very much in need of a vehicle.
She drove it for about a year and it developed transmission problems. She called me and wanted to know what I was going to do about it. I laughed in her ear over the phone and told her that my gift to her didn't come with a life time warranty.
She was upset with me but got over it, as I knew she would. She sold the truck "as is" for $1,000 - Do you think Dad saw any of that money?
