Insensitive relatives.

I heard my Aunt talking about my Uncle who has a small store beside our house.
It was okay though but two weeks ago, it was closed.
It was said that they are closing because they are fixing their other house somewhere in the province. And it got me to wonder.
We asked them a long time ago to repair their floor upstairs because it moved whenever they are walking and our ceiling is getting thinner and we can't even repair it unless they will be the one to repair it first. They always tell us they can't have a repair because they don't have money, but they can afford to have tiles in their other house.
It's frustrating because we can hear a creaking sound whenever they walk from upstairs. And every time they start walking our ceiling are moving and sometimes dust came from them. And when kids are around, we can hear a loud sound of banging and creaking, and it's so annoying.
How they can even sleep at night, not thinking of repairing their floor so that we can repair our ceiling. And they can even afford to beautify their other house just to make even to us.
My Aunt called them the insensitive.

Maybe they will fall through the floor and land in your lap. Then they'll know they should have prioritised it!

I think what they meant was they are prioritising the other house they are constructing that is why they really do not have enough money to fix or repair their store. I think you need to explain what is happening in your place that is why they also need to prioritise repairing their store. Anyway that place is the one giving them the money they should also invest to make the place sturdy too.

It is not the store we are worrying about. Our ceiling which is their floor upstairs as well.
It's been an issue ever since I think more than 6 years. We told them to have their floor repair so that we can repair our ceiling. It's making a creaking sound whenever they walk. What if they will collapse here?

That is dangerous thinking that you are downstairs and if the ceiling falls because of their floor you are in trouble.

@JustBhem or at least they will give you some funds to have it repaired.

I was thinking about it. But nope. They rather have it repair on their other house.
