“I know we wanted to do this on our own, but we are over our heads. Maybe we should let our parents help.”
Andy had waited until Shelby had been put to bed before talking to Cara. They would be able to talk without the interruptions.
“I don’t want to rely too much on them though. Our parents should not be supporting us.”
“It’s just temporary, love. Once your company is established, we will pay them back.”
Andy nodded his head. “We need to figure out which bills we are able to pay ourselves.”
The two spent the next couple hours going through their budget. With the new medical bills, they were almost $200 a month short.
Andy looked at the paper and sighed. He called his dad and made sure it would be alright to visit the next day.”
After hanging up, he looked over at Cara. “How are you feeling?”
“Physically I am fine.” She laid her hand on her stomach. “We are both very healthy. I am worried about you though.”
“Why?”
“Because you have been very stressed. That isn’t healthy.”
“I’m just worried about making sure you and our daughter are taken care of.”
“We are fine. You worry about passing your finals. Let me worry about the rest.”
He leaned toward her and kissed her softly. “I love you.”
Hope they figure in food on that budget. Glad they decided to let their parents help. They can always pay them back.

I’m sure they remembered to include food. At least I hope they did.

So glad they are letting the parents help out. Every young couple almost always needs a little help at some point to get through the rough patches.

They sure do. Especially when at least one of the couple is still in school.

I had my mom help me out a few times. Now Mom lives with me and we split the bills.
