my family is stupid i want to move
Im 14, a girl, and My sisters going to college which is 125,000$. our house is worth about 600,000. We live on a lake. wouldnt it make sense to move into a house which is 450,000$ which has more rooms and is a nicer house so we can pay for my sisters college? and have money left over? my moms considering it but my other sister whose 12 years old, is being a difficult baby and doesnt want to move cause she "will lose memories". how do i convince my sister whose a stubborn b**ch by the way to move? so we can move?
Parents should not be involving children in finances or in making life altering moves such as selling a home. The parents should be making that choice and not playing one sibling against another. That is dead wrong. From your story it comes across that your parents are involving you unless you are forcing yourself into an area you do not belong.
If your parents want to pay for all or part of their childrens' college tuition, it is their decision. But the decision whether to sell a home or not and to move or not should not have such a burden placed on the children whatsoever.
It sounds like your parents are well meaning but are very weak as parental role models and can't make a decision.
Focus solely on school when you resume in September and let them decide what to do as far as tuition and where to live. In the meantime, enjoy your Summer. Don't harbor any anger toward your sister. She has her reasons and even if they sound unreasonable you should respect it. Your parents are the ones who have to step it up and show some fortitude.
Your sister is obviously upset about moving, and just needs to be talked to, maybe your parents could talk about it to her?
hopefully she will understand, anyway, if your parents want to move, i dont think they will hold back if a daughter is being difficult!
