Phoenixpower -> RE: I Admit It I........ (2/3/2014 1:43:59 AM)

I admit calling my parents never fails to amaze me... I admit they told me they have given my brother their 3rd car now free of charge, as - of course - they don't need 3 cars... I admit generally speaking that's fine with me...after all, F and I have a car and he has only one car in his family...so it gives them more flexibility... I admit however, I reminded mum to charge him to charge him the 1200 bucks they tried to charge me that car for, 2 and a half years ago when I just came back from the UK...having no money at all back then... I admit she tried to wash it down with the comment "how long is that ago?" I admit I replied "and how many more km does that car has since then? You tried to charge me 1200 bucks for it when it had 395000 km on it...back then you could already expect nothing for its age and km usage...by now it has maybe 5000 km more...so not that much a difference, is it?" I admit she preferred to hide in her usual silence... I admit I finished it off with the comment "well...at least my brother remains true to himself....he only bothers to visit family when he gets freebies....he was already like that towards grandparents....nothing new to me [:)]" I admit I can't wait to tell Frank about it when he comes home from work....after all, he heard how my dad told me that I would have missunderstood them about paying for it, when I mentioned briefly "thats why you wanted to sell it to me" when parents told us during a lunch out, about their new purchase of their camper van...cause it was too embarrassing for my dad to admit it in front of F, that he tried to ripp me off on their own car... I admit my parents are just absurd, but at least I got used to that and don't expect much genuine help from them anymore these days...as they always lived under the theme "using daughter, spoiling son"...just a shame that I figured out that one and don't let them achieve that [:D]
