Who needs a man who only gets married for real estate?

Once the future son-in-law was considered a support for both families. The bride moved to her husband’s house, where he was the full owner. Time passed and everything changed. It is impossible to expect that the husband of the daughter will be provided with housing. Housing is a sensitive topic, sometimes the opposite is true.

Not all parents have time to acquire real estate, which will be rewrite in old age for their children. And young families need somewhere to live, so owning an apartment is a great luxury these days. Vera Konstantinovna wanted to leave her daughter an apartment in which she lived all her life, but now she does not know whether to rewrite the housing for her son-in-law.



My husband and I are from the village. From there we went to study in the city and stayed there in rented housing. Over time, we were able to take the apartment on a mortgage. I have a younger sister who lives in my parents’ house. Since the sister was always there, mom and dad signed their house for sister.



And I was given a small plot of land on which my husband and I have been building a house for 20 years. We dreamed of our home. I always wanted a spacious kitchen and a veranda where I would drink tea in the morning. After all, the apartment is cramped.

To quickly finish the construction of the house, the husband had to go abroad to work. My husband comes once a year, it’s hard for both of us, but we’re trying for a common purpose. And recently my daughter got an offer. The question is where the newlyweds will live.



Nina, now 25, graduated from university and works like her future husband. But he doesn't have a place of his own. Before the wedding, my husband and I planned to finish the construction of the house, leave the apartment to the children. And recently we took matchmakers according to good old traditions. I set up a luxurious table and we discussed the details of the wedding. Husband took time off from work, came home for a week, not every day the daughter gets married.



At first glance, the matchmakers seemed to me pleasant people, they smiled all evening, praised our daughter. With celebration, we decided to postpone. My husband and I were just happy, just finished the construction, will help to make repairs in the apartment for the wedding. And then the matchmaker says that they, for their part, give a new car to the newlyweds, and with us the house that we are completing.

I was speechless for a minute. We never told our daughter we'd sign her house. I was going to give her an apartment in the city, I don't understand why the groom's mother suddenly decided that we should rewrite the house for both children. The matchmaker said her son would not feel like a master in a house that only belongs to his wife.



When I reported that we were giving an apartment, not a house, the matchmaker got up from the table and sharply said that such an agreement: they give a car, and we a house. I don’t understand how to communicate with people like that and why they suddenly make decisions for both sides. I was very saddened by this incident, we have been investing in construction for so many years, and my daughter understands this very well. I did not expect such impudence from matchmakers, now the wedding is in question.



You can be an infinitely kind person, but everything has a limit. The fact that the parents of the bride are going to leave the children an apartment is a great luck. And the ultimatum from matchmakers can be safely ignored. The main thing is that the children will have a place to live. They will not spend money on rented housing. The apartment and car are a generous gift. Perhaps the children themselves understand this very well. Some parents do not give expensive gifts at all and believe that children should achieve everything themselves. What would you do in the place of Vera Konstantinovna?
