As half of a young couple who is in the process of buying a home, fuck my parents and in laws.

There was a time when it was a time of celebration and happiness when a young couple bought a home.

The unhappy crowd that makes up my family, biological and extended has forgotten that older generations are supposed to (Are biblically commanded actually) support their children. They have labeled us 'entitled' for pointing out that their parents helped them out at every turn.

My in laws in particular have taken many unkind jabs at our humble existence when they literally live in their parents basement. They would laugh themselves sick if I end up having to rent an apartment again.

Cheap nursing homes for the lot of them ASAP.

Edit*

My realtor was lamenting the other day that he rarely sees people under the age of 40 buying homes anymore.
