SBB - my dad especially is very orientated around money. Currently hubby and I rent and we've got the deposit for a house but will wait til next year to buy...I can imagine his first thought wouldn't be that of happiness and excitement but more like "they'll never be able to get a house now". I might be wrong but thats how my dad works.
I think before we told her, we knew how MIL would react and it was perfect, she was crying, laughing, so pleased...but my parents are the complete opposite to her...here's hoping my assumptions are all wrong and they'll be fine with it. I sound like a high school kid here, I'm 27 and yes a part of me doesn't care if they don't agree with it but it would crush me if they reacted very badly...did no one else worry about this?
As you can tell I'm not really that close to my family!
