    Couple temporarily living with husband's parents refuse to pay for the new kitchen appliances his mother ordered, after she secretly added them to the list of monthly expenses they usually split: 'We aren't going to pay for appliances we didn't need'

    This is a tricky one: on one hand, these parents have granted their young son and wife a favor by opening up their home to them, as they save up for one of their own. But on the other hand, they have certain contribution expectations that they feel the couple should be fulfilling. Due to this, his parents ensure that all the house bills are split equally between everyone…We think that's a pretty fair deal. However, due to the short-term status of their stay, there seems to be a bit of confusion around what is considered 'house expenses' and 'luxuries'…

    When his mother ordered some new home appliances, the rest of the household all agreed that they wouldn't be responsible for the cost of this impulsive kitchen makeover…But when she sent out the monthly expense list, the couple discovered that the appliances had clearly been included in the final calculations. Sparking a whirlwind of household drama and a few very awkward conversations…So will this couple let a stainless steel stove come between their relationship with his mother, or will they find a polite way to compromise?
