[QUOTE="Star*, post: 250396, member: 4964"] I am sure there are more tactful people in the world, than I- and I would consider you among them. I'm very direct. I'm too old to hash the "dozens" with my family. Tell brother in law that you are getting a loan to help you with your credit status as a single woman and the bank requires you have licensed and bonded workers who are current on codes. (You could dep. the money - take out a line of credit and pay the line of credit back once you are done - so not a lie) As far as the lap top - I'd tell him you are considering giving it to one of your kids and leave it at that. TO ASK FOR AN EXTRA MINI VAN when you have 2 kids who will be 16 ?? - Sorry - I'd offer to sell it to him at 20% under fair market value and tell him you can't GIVE it to him because -(and I'm sorry you'd even have to spell it out for him) 1.) You have NO other income than what you have today - 2.) You have 2 kids who will need vehicles someday -that will take money 3.) IF your car breaks down - you need a 2nd vehicle - you're all alone there. 4.) You appreciate him wanting to take it off your hands and get it out of the driveway and not be such an eyesore (what a stretch) but no - you're going to use the money from him buying it to put back for KT or WM a car. MAN - he's right up there with "sensitive boss" and the Bummer comment. Grrrrrr And if you don't get satisfaction from telling him directly - THEN I'd tell your sister. Sorry you have to deal with this - really I am. [/QUOTE]
