I'm Just Complaining...

Pretty keeps buying "stuff" we don't need and don't have room to store. 
Most of the problem with "stuff" is that it needs to be assembled after it arrives. She doesn't want to do the work and I basically can't do the work now.
We have a new cabinet in the kitchen that needs assembled. The two large cardboard boxes of parts have taken up half the kitchen floor since last summer and I dragged in a large box this morning that says it contains an ebike (assembly required). She just bought a new bicycle last year she doesn't ride.
It's okay to ignore this "discussion".

We all need to complain sometimes x
Is she planning on selling the bike she already had ?
Is she waiting for your brother to come to put these things together ?

I don't know what she's planning on doing with it. It's out in the garage right now.
My brother can't do that type of work anymore, either. He still gives us rides when we need one but that's about the only thing he does. (He's taking us to renew our Section 8 paperwork tomorrow in Mt. Vernon.)

@DaddyEvil I didn't think Pretty was into buying things she didn't need !

That would be nice but she doesn't want to pay someone to do the work.

No, it’s okay to complain. I do that occasionally myself…the problem is, I can’t blame anyone else for buying things that I don’t need and can’t assemble!

I had the boxes in the kitchen standing on their sides so they didn't take up much room but she claimed a couple of months ago that she was afraid the parts would warp standing like that so she laid them down and opened the boxes.

Can you talk to her about using that money for things you two NEED instead of just things she wants?

Nah, its funny and I do same thing with sister and brother. I know as soon as they buy something some times its a waist of money, will be used only three times and tossed aside never to be used again like a Exercise machine or a keyboard. That being said they are both great at putting their waste of money together.
The problem is they still take up room and get dusty and become an eye sour, then they start complaining about money.

Boy, you guys really need me. When I moved to Latvia, I shipped over a lot of furniture and stuff that needed assembling, so during the first months, guess who assembled everything: ME!!! Best of luck Perhaps this might help

May be she is impulsive. Buying something that she does not really need

Just now
It's perfectly normal to complain about things like this, have you tried having a conversation with her about it? Especially since you guys are running out of space to keep these things you rarely use, and the cost of buying them.

The only answer to this post would be that I love my daughters when I don´t hate them. No more comments.
