First off, my MIL has been staying with us for the past couple of weeks while she is going through rehab. Well, her and I were watching tv the other day, and a commercial came on about pools. She casually asked me if I wanted a pool and I, with much enthusiasm, said that I would love a pool one day. That was the end, I didn't think anything of it. I wake up from a nap the next day (I work third shift) and H whispers to me in the kitchen that she said she would buy us a pool next summer for all we have done for her. What?!?
Like I said, I would love a pool, I'm just not sure it is worth it right now. Our house is definitely a starter home, it only has two bedrooms, with a room in the basement that could be used as a third if we had too, but preferably not. While she would be paying for the pool and installation, we would have to pay for the upkeep, which is totally fine. H is totally stoked about it, he even knows how he wants to build the deck already lol. I am just wondering if we should see if the offer would still stand after we moved to a bigger, more permanent house. On one hand, I don't want her to spend all that money if we only get to use it for two or three summers, but on the other hand, I would reeaalllyyy love a real pool (as if you didn't already get that part
)
Sooo, what would you do? TIA!!
