Yeah, easy to say, with the Mrs in the middle....
I am yet to experience a request for money. knowing the family as I do, I doubt it will come anytime soon.
The old guy would rather stick hot needles in his eyes than ask for money... Pride I guess....
My wife had a rollocking from her dad, because he thought that she asked me for the pc I gave her....
So to pay him back, I got him an engine for one of his pumboats, and he had his own Mrs having a go at him....
