DEAR ABBY: I am a
newlywed. My husband
and I are looking for a
house to settle down in,
but we’re struggling to
find one we like that we
can afford. My in-laws,
who are moving, offered
to sell us their house for a
very generous price. The
house is in a great neigh
borhood, but it’s old and
outdated and has HVAC
and plumbing problems.
I think the house would
be the perfect place for
my husband and me to
raise a family if we had
some renovations made.
However, we have talked
to my in-laws about this,
and they are very attached
to this house and very
against having any reno
vations made to it. My
husband is happy to buy
it and not have the reno
vations made, but I’m not
so sure. What should I
do? — HOUSE
HUNTER IN
CALIFORNIA
DEAR HOUSE
HUNTER: You and your
husband should talk with
your in-laws together.
While I understand their
sentimental attachment to
the house, they are being
unrealistic and control
ling. If they were to sell it
to strangers, you can bet
the first thing that would
happen would be renova
tions. HVAC, plumbing,
electrical and roof prob
lems cost a fortune to
keep fixing over time if
they are not dealt with.
Don’t they want their
grandchildren raised in a
nice, safe home in a great
neighborhood? If the
answer is yes, they need
to loosen the reins. If not,
then you should keep
looking.
DEAR ABBY: I’m a
veteran with a nonser
vice-connected back inju
ry. I need artificial discs
between several verte
brae. The hospitals and
clinics ignored my condi
tion for the past 25 years.
I will have an MRI soon.
My fiancee is a nurse and
does not have the money
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
for the operation I need.
A wealthy female friend
has offered to fund it.
Should I ask my fiancee
for permission since this
friend is a woman? —
GETTING A CHANCE
IN OKLAHOMA
DEAR GETTING: You
should definitely clear it
with your fiancee. If she
loves you, she will agree
that you are fortunate to
have such a generous
friend. However, if she’s
insecure, you will then
have to decide which is
more important — your
health or your relation
ship. I know which one
I’d choose.
DEAR ABBY: My col
lege-age daughter who
still lives with me is
addicted to caffeine. I am
considering slowly
replacing the regular cof
fee with decaf without
telling her. I don’t want to
tell her, as this may get in
her head, and she may
react by having with
drawal symptoms. I don’t
think she would be angry,
because she knows I am
always looking out for
her. What do you think?
— MOM WITH A PLAN
DEAR MOM: Quit
being a helicopter barista.
Have enough respect for
your college-age daughter
to tell her the amount of
coffee she consumes is a
concern for you. Then ask
if she would like your
help to cut back.
Withdrawal symptoms
from caffeine are real,
and your daughter might
wonder what’s wrong
when she experiences
symptoms of withdrawal
if you keep her in the
dark.
Wonderword answer: Power
