Don't make the mistake of thinking my kids are workshy losers. My lad despite his problems in life bought his house at age 21, Not many kids manage that. The eldest focused on paying off her student and professional studies loans (40 grand in total)and is now saving for a house.

As I said of daughter no 2, she is a paid student and has got commitments like 3 kids (sorry that should be four if you include her husband). She is not afraid of work and does extra bank shifts to supplement her income. She has a lousy taste in blokes.

I know the problem is Mrs W. We would not have this issue if the original loan, (but #2 will think gift) hadn't been made. Mrs W and #1 are currently scheming. I am ignoring the fact they have got themselves stuck in Lanzarote and my phone has died. As far as I am concerned the SIL is no man. He has no pride in himself or his ability to provide for his family. I really wish #2 would wake up and tell him to get lost.
