“[They’re] always bickering and just overall will bring your happiness level down for a day or two… always talking to me about divorce,” he explained.

Why do you think his parents felt comfortable asking for so much money? Do you agree that it’d be smarter for his parents to sell their current house and use the profit to buy a new one? How would you have reacted in his shoes?
