family conflict
...y irritated. Secondly, it was easy to sell the car, but it would be difficult to get it back. My mother’s opinion was that we should sell the car, and then we could take it back after this hard time. On the contrary, my father did not think it was sure enough as he thought about one case that we just sold the car and the user felt like using it and would not want to let us take the car back. So, we would spend a lot more money to buy a brand new one, which was a waste of money. He also told us that some people would take advantage of our difficult situation and lower the price. As the result, we would not know whether we could sell out car with the price we wanted, which might made us disappointed and even caused more depressed feelings, and made the relationship among members in family worse.

Let’s imagine we had to take all those stuffs home without a car. Taking bus was not acceptable, wasn’t it? Let’s imagine how people looked at us when we were trying to arrange those things on the bus’s aisle. Secondly, with the car, whole family could go out every weekend to eat lobster at our favorite restaurant or to the park or go sight seeing. My mother thought that we could save time and money if we do not have picnic or party for that month. But, my father expressed that he could not let us just staying at home for the entire month which made his kids unhappy. He said that his kids had worked so hard at school for the whole week, and the weekend was the only chance that he could take them to go out with him comfortably on his car. The very last reason for this issue was that selling the car ...
