New Homeowner’s Dilemma: Ramp for Disabled Nephew or Wife’s Dream Garden? ♿

Imagine finally finding your dream home, only to be faced with a heart-wrenching dilemma. A couple recently purchased a new house, complete with a tiered garden that the wife absolutely adores. However, their disabled nephew, who uses a wheelchair, would need a ramp installed to access the house. Installing the ramp would mean sacrificing the beautiful garden or losing crucial driveway space. The family is divided, and the couple is left wondering if they’re being selfish or if they have a right to preserve their dream home. ♿

Dream Home Drama: Who’s Right?

The couple is torn between preserving their dream garden and accommodating their disabled nephew. Their sister insists that the garden is just a cosmetic feature and not worth making her son feel unwanted. Other family members are also unhappy, as the new house can’t be used for family parties without a ramp. The homeowner suggests hosting outdoor parties in the backyard, but concerns about heat and the nephew feeling left out arise. The burden of hosting now falls on the brother, who isn’t thrilled about the situation. What’s the right move in this tricky situation? ♿
