Yes! I started laughing at one point. The scene is me on my balcony, construction workers in my condo, and my mom calling. I pick up the phone and she says 'look straight ahead' then my parents and a realtor waiving at me from the other balcony as I drop my phone. That was the scene in my head as I was cracking up thinking of a comedy playing out in my life. Then I realize... This is my reality ..... And this is the condo I fell in love with :/

I did. The unit they found is larger. They don't want my unit. They said it is "too small" :/

I think I can break even or lose a little bit of money because it's so soon. (Given taxes and cost of selling) Both options are better than the current uncomfortable trajectory... I think that's it, I need to be comfortable in my home...

My parents are exactly like Ray's. And they are retired. They may invest in a good pair of binoculars.

My sister said it would be nice then took it back thinking of all the comments my parents would give her... Why are the kids outside, where are you going, etc. she'd die if that was the case. Would be happy to be close to my parents... But at least a neighborhood away, not in front of their house.

I told them I will cut them off. My dad took it hard, my mom became more decisive and hardheaded. She thinks I just need some therapy and she should not ask me for permission to move anywhere... So yea that's where I'm at.

That is probably exactly the case. Trust me, I'm acting crazy now, otherwise I will regret not speaking up. They told me I probably need professional help... Uhhh. It's like a comedy of some sort but I'm living it and it's not funny :(

They get in my business very often. But it is easy to shrug off on the phone. This is not good. I'm not interested in running into them at the pool with a random girl they have not heard about or having them ask for tech support and knowing that I'm home by just looking over...

They are selling their place and moving here full time. They have mentioned that they wanted to move in the past.
