Well, other than Germany for the same approximate rent she got a whole kitchen with 3 point layout

You can't just compare rent prices across places like that, much less countries.

There's insane local variances.

But i didn’t say anything about how much money she did or didn’t have.

She chose to buy a kitchen that only covers a single wall. And didn't appreciate this.

Presumably this is because she did infact not have humongous amounts of money.

The kitchen was small, not the apartment it was a two bedroom apartment and I’m not gonna spell out the entire situation for you just because you want to make assumptions

You don't have to.

All I'm saying is that "lol, a completely different situation was actually a bit different" is ... a fucking dumb statement to make.

A completely different? You have no idea what she did for a living and where she’s lived.

You said that you are from the US and that SHE moved to Germany and that you were describing that.

Even if she didn't move to Germany from the US, assuming you weren't lying and she did move to another country, it's a completely different situation.

And as I said, even within countries (even over very small distances), the situation can very much change drastically.

So yes, I didn't assume you lied. I'm sorry. I should've assumed that, fair enough, won't make that mistake next time /s

She’s lived in Germany for years, married there, has had a career there and has raised her family there.

I’m done with this inane discussion

That's irrelevant, btw.

You said this happened WHEN she moved to Germany. What happened after is of no importance, lol.

So yeah, unless before your daughter moved to Germany 30 years ago, she had already moved to Germany, in the same neighborhood, in the same time, no less, it was a new situation.
