Ouch, well, you can break her of the what are we going to tell mom now, or you can get drug around by your nose from fear of what mom thinks for the rest of your days.
Let’s go one by one: You want to rent!? Are you Serious? Yes, I am. all my sacrafice raising your kids while you live at work so we can rent? No, I really appreciate your taking care of the children and I can’t continue to live at work, it’s not fair to the children or you. Renting isn’t the reason, renting is the solution. If we buy, I’ll be working even more and once the kids are in school, you will too. And you want to rent for “years” so we can be pushed out by the owner when the market recovers and he wants to sell. No, I want to rent just long enough so that we don’t have to live at work to buy and neglect our children and each other.
