Bah!
My wife's car needs new brakes and roters. Since we came back from vacation and then had to put new tires on my car we are broke until the 1st of the month. Well since i don't work we really only need one car. so we put my wifes car (escort) in the garage until the 1st so we can get it fixed.
Well my mother-in-law asked my wife if she can use the car for awhile since we were not using it and my wife might go in for Carpel tunnel surgery and can't drive. We told her fine she can use it but they need to fix the brakes (quoted $240 to do it). she said OK.
Well this weekend my brother-in-law said he could do it for cheaper. I just had to buy the parts and he would show me how to do it. So my wife told her mother about it and asked me how much it would be. Going off the quote i figured around $150 for 2 rotors +pads (it had pads at $75 heh and rotors at $50 each). Well my BIL (brother-in-law) said the parts are pretty cheap. something like $30 for each rotor and pads are $20) so i figured OK i will pocket the rest of the money since she is going to use the car for like a month or so.
Today she said she wants receipts from what we bought and the change. WTF! I told my wife fvuck it i will pay to get the parts (got a $500 check i forgot i was due) and keep the darn car. My wife say's I'm being mean since we did tell her she gets it fixed she can use it.
Now am i out of line? or what?
Her parents fricken piss me off. Her step-father got hurt in Vietnam and can't work (the guy really wants to work. but can bearly walk, not upset with him at all). so he gets SS. Her mother has 3 degrees (veterinarian, and 2 in child psychology) but REFUSES to work. She uses the fact that Grove (step dad) is hurt he needs attention 24/7 wich he does not! and they have a 3 year old foster child.
they are always needed loans (they do pay them back) or needing to use our checking account to pay for ads in the paper (they breed dogs and cats).
I'm just getting fed up with it. bah!
