Really need some advice , my husband and I have a 35year old daughter who has a partner and a baby on the way . my husband and I are recently  retired and in our middle 60,s . We have a property portfolio which is struggling what with the current state of the world. We lent our daughter and her partner a large sum of money  over a year ago to help them buy a property to rent out ( they own their own house) we are paying tax on the money as we took it out of the business. But now due to the fact that the business is struggling we have asked for some of the money back since they haven’t spent it to help us out . We also employed our daughter to help with the running of the properties and paid her, but it was just to help them out over the lock downs etc , it was never a permanent thing. But again because of the situation we find our selves in we have had to stop this . My daughter is NOT happy and is really giving us a hard time about this . We feel we have been very fair with her helped pay her through university , even gave her money to start up and buy equipment for her photography business which we never asked for back . But it makes me so sad to see how she’s reacting about all this . I find me and my husband are falling out about it , I just struggle with the timing since she is 6 months pregnant. What do you think should I appeal again to my husband to hold off  or should I just tell my daughter I’m sorry but we have to look after our retirement funds ??? Any advice at this stage would be really helpful even to help me sleep again at night!! Thank you for reading ...   ... View more
