demanding
Just had a conversation with hubby about 'lifestyle.' Apparently I am a very demanding wife! This is news to me. I don't care where we live, I am not all about furniture or clothes coming from the right stores. I have never asked for jewellry as presents...and have never nagged for a dream car. The only time, back in 2000 that I said I fancied a yellow car for my next car and he took it upon himself to go out and get me one as a surprise for my 30th birthday - which was brilliant, don't get me wrong...and it also pissed off MIL big time as she had got a new car for her 60th birthday but it actually turned out to be 2nd hand - some Irish dodgy import and she was mega pissed off when she got to the bottom of it.
But a friend of ours does seem to have a demanding wife. She has bitched and moaned about them living in the 'wrong' area - so they are moving this month. She wanted a mountain house so that happened last year. She needed a new car...that was Christmas.....she wanted her kids to go to a better school - they now do for $18 000 a year per child - but then she is moaning that her husband has made them cut back in other areas.
Apparently I am demanding because we have 4 kids.....and they are going to the cheapest private school around (primarily as he wants them to have a Catholic education) and there will be 4 lots of college fees. I think we've known this for a long time. We will only be 2 years short of paying off our mortgage by the time the eldest starts college...I think we will be ok financially by them and you know what, one of us can always sell our 'spare car.' And that won't be me - the demanding one.
