I don't need the stress!!
First let me say this will be a bit of a rant. My husband and I got married in May last year. We contacted my husbands step grandma to help us possibly get a deal on a trip to Disneyland for our honeymoon. We told her we were planning on spending about 800 or so. She calls us back the next day saying she got us this great deal for 1200 and had already booked it for us because it was the last day to get this deal. She paid for it on her credit card and said no pressure to pay her back right away and we could make payments here or there. Honestly at first we were pissed because it was more than we wanted to spend but since she could refund it we went with it. And this being a month or two before the wedding I let it go because I had so many more things to stress about and it was nice of her. Now we got some money from the wedding and wanted to pay her almost all of it but she insisted we go and have fun and spend whatever we wanted and enjoy our honeymoon. So we set aside 300 for her and paid her. Over the last year and a half we paid it down to only owing her 490. I had a miacarriage in January that put me out of work for a while. As a result our credit cards have been high. We have moved in with my MIL. Been here for about 4 months. I got pregnant and my hours at work have been cut back because I have been so sick and tired. The amount it's been cut the last month or so canceled out the money we save and since I am full time and my husband is part time I have he extra money. So we haven't been able to pay her but once since being here. Today she emails me saying she doesn't want to be the bad guy but she is going to need money and seems frustrated that it seems like it will take almost 2 years to get paid back. She says she feels like she shouldn't have to be a bad guy and when I told her the check we give her with our next check might not be a huge amount and she says she was hoping for more! She knows we are having a baby and knows about our miacarriage. I told her my hours being cut almost cancel out the money we save by living with his mom (because we help her with bills). And am I right for kinda feeling annoyed? First she did this without asking if it was okay! Then is super nice and says she knows how it is to be young and not have much money and to take as long as we need to pay her back and now it's taking too long??! We didn't ASK for her to put it on her credit card! She wouldn't let us pay back in full after the wedding. I don't know. It's just stressful and ruined my day. I don't need someone hounding me while I'm pregnant. Am I right for being kind of frustrated? Don't get me wrong I am grateful. But you can't do something without permission and then say no strings attached pay when you can (which we HAVE been making payments whenever we have extra money) and then be mad when it's a year and a half later and not fully paid back...
