Buying a new house.
Back story: We have been saving to buy a bigger house for the past 4 years. We were financially responsible and bought a 2 bedroom 1 bath home with 1000 square feet. We never "planned" to have children. Miracles happened and I got pregnant last May. We have always both worked hard and I have been house hunting since last November and have only found 3 houses worth looking at.
The Issue: I fell in love with this 3rd house and it went contingent after only 24h and the seller said we could put in backup offer. Me and my husband discussed and agreed to 15k over asking price also what other homes in the area are going for and (taxes are really good in the area like 3k less per year then other areas we were looking). Me and my husband agreed on the offered amount and put in our offer. Cue us telling our parents and mine were not thrilled thinking we offered to much but said if it is ment to be it will happen. His dad was really annoyed and has made my husband feel really bad telling him he is making a mistake. His dad was also angry because he was not consulted and did not go look at the house with us. I am now getting anxiety from my husband because he is saying we did the wrong thing because his father said so and wants us to consider pulling our offer.
This is my dream family home EVERY THING I WANTED IN A HOME! I think it is wrong for them to shame us for wanting more space for our family and being able to afford it. We bough far under our means for our first home and have been in it for 4 years saving. It just makes me sad that my husband is not supporting me and OUR decision because his dad doesnt like it.
