A change in plans « Big Brother Bubbles [UK 10]
A change in plans.

Open Question: Parent Problems/Baby Name Opinions?
I know this isn’t a baby names question but I spend most of my time in this section. I’ll add the names i’m thinking of at the bottom for those of you expecting a question of opinion on those 
otherwise, I’d just have to post an entirely sperate question. I’m actually looking for an opinion on a problem that has been nagging at me since the day I graduated from high school. So, here goes:
My husband and I both come from very wealthy families. From the time we were born everything has been handed to us basically on a silver platter. I know many people would kill to have lives like this but I think in today’s society too many people (especially young people like ourselves) have an insane sense of entitlement. Preteens with expensive cell phones, 16 year olds demanding brand new cars, and college students partying 24/7 on daddy’s dime. I won’t say i didn’t get a brand new car the day I turned 16 and my parents certainly paid for every dime of my college education, but really, enough is enough. My husband has lived the same way all his life, and after we got married we made a pact that we wanted to create our own life together so we can know that we are earning every luxury we have. So, currently we live in a 1 bedroom apartment a little outside Atlanta which we’ve paid for ourselves. We’ve been married almost exactly 2 years (i’m 24, he’s 26) and i’m 22 weeks along with our first child. My husband and I had been talking since we got the pregnancy news about upgrading to a house because obviously our apartment is going to be getting a little cramped with a baby coming. So, the two of us hired a real estate agent to help us browse homes in our area until we find something in our price range as a small starter home. His mother got wind of this (we’d been trying to keep it low-key but my husband spilled the beans) and absolutely INSISTED that his parents buy us a “decent house”, saying how she could not have her son and daughter-in-law living in such average homes as the ones we had been browsing. She hired her own real estate agent and ever since has been going around (without us), snapping pictures and getting prices on 5+ plus bedroom homes. My husband and I both agree that someday we’d like to have a big, beautiful home with many bedrooms but it seems a little excessive now when we don’t have the need for it. And when we do get to that point, we want to pay for it ourselves. Don’t get me wrong, I am so grateful for everything my parents and my in-laws have given us but this is just too much. We’ve tried to have this discussion with his parents but that only resulted in a phone call to my parents (who live in Virginia) which resulted in both his and my parents completely ganging up on us. My husband and I even discussed allowing them to purchase the home now and working out a plan where we can pay them back just to please them but they will have NO part in that. It’s very frustrating and it’s making me very upset. Am i being ridiculous? My friends say take the money and run, but it’s very important for me teach my children that they must work for what they have and how can I do that when I’m setting a terrible example with my own actions? I have an otherwise wonderful relationship with my parents and in-laws and I know that refusing this “gift” will cause major tensions in that relationship. I don’t want to be a couple that becomes estranged from their parents and their children grow up not knowing Grandma and Grandpa. Oh my goodness, I’m sorry that was so much to read. What are your opinions on the whole situation? Is anyone else going through a similar situation?
And here’s the names I promised any opinions? Feel free to mix and match. Go ahead and suggenst different first names but please don’t suggest alternate middle names, the ones I have listed hold special meaning for my husband and me.

To: “it’s me lol!”. I’m sorry to have offended you in any way at all but really, is it necessary to say I’m a bragging sinner. I did not post this question to let everyone know how much family money I was born into, nor did I mention anything I’ve ever received in my life to put anyone down or feel better about myself. I was simply trying to convey my point across to anyone who had suggestions for me. And to say that I’m an ugly person and that my child will be a terrible human is awful! Maybe you should look within yourself and ask why you are preaching to me when you are the one harboring so much hatred. I’m trying to teach my children to be honest working Americans so you can take your critisism elsewhere.
Glitching Gecko: My husband and I both have stable, well paying jobs. We don’t sit at home eating bon bons all day, haha. So no, our child would not have a poor quality of life living on only our combined income just to answer that. But wow, I never thought of allowing them to purchase the house and then donating the money saved to charity. That sounds fantastic and I’m sure everyone in the family will agree on it without any hard feelings. My husband is sitting here saying how we can deposit money into the bank as if we were making a house payment. I’m sure we could even convince his parents to tell us what the house payment is so we could match it or work out a system of our own. I really do hope to teach my children valuable lessons such as these but maybe generosity is the moral of this story.
Open Question: Should we stick out our lease, or should we buy a home?
My fiancee and I were planning on buying a home next year. On a whim, I applied to be pre-approved.
During thing time, we got fed up with our apartment complex. We moved on June 29th to a luxury apartment community. As full time students, and workers, we’re barely making ends meet — but it means that we’re not getting mugged on the way into our apartment anymore.
I got a call last night from the mortgage agent I applied with last month. She told me I was pre-approved for a decent amount.
We just moved into our new place! Our rent payment is $900 for a one-bedroom. Looking in the area that we originally wanted to buy in, we can get a move-in ready home for under 70k. That’s $500-$600 for at least three bedrooms – after taxes and insurance.
Obviously, I want to go for the house. But we have twelve months left on our lease! I think we’d have to pay 2 months to break it. And, as I said, we’re broke. [The loan that the mortgage company supplies is along with a local grant for down payment assistance and closing costs; we're first time home buyers]
Should we pay $1700 to get out of our lease? Can we write this into a purchase agreement as a clause?
Or should we stick it out another year? We’re getting married next fall – do we want to deal with wedding planning AND real estate drama? Also, I’m afraid my credit rating will drop as the mortgage company’s requirements go up. I feel like I need to do this, or we won’t realize our home ownership dream for a number of years.
Help!
Grant is from the city that we’re looking to buy it. 10k to down payment and closing costs. I work for said city, and thus know that it’s not a mess-up.
Fiancee’s credit rating brings mine down. He’s working on it (has been for *years*).
Yep. Am currently running way too tight on my budget. Should have re-evaluated before moving to expensive apartment. But, again, if we were to buy a house, I would be fine.
