My husband and I are trying to buy a new house. We have a very young baby and we live in a 1 bedroom in a bad area and I’m a SAHM and I need more space since I’m home 24/7. We found a beautiful house that’s within our budget with a private beach, park, safe neighborhood, amazing school district, everything we’re looking for. However there are some extra taxes for those facilities. It’s still in our budget though. But my husband doesn’t like it bc there is no fishing allowed at the beach, and we might not be able to bring our chickens and ducks. He likes to fish but he goes maybe 5 times/year. And we don’t do much with the birds except collect the eggs. This house is a fixer upper so we really wouldn’t have time to fish or play with the birds much anyway.

I want to buy the house because we’ve never seen anything like it in the years we’ve been searching. It’s like the deal of a lifetime also because after we fix it up it would sell for way more and we’d make a good amount of $ from it. But he’s so fixated on the fishing and chickens that I think we’re going to miss out on it and I’m so frustrated with him. Someone else put an offer down already and yet my husband is still waiting for a call back from the village board about how many chickens we can have there 😡

Am I being unreasonable? Or is he?
