I wish my dad and stepmom would have minded their own damn business. I have a question!!?

I am 30 years old and a RN. In June, I moved to a major city, 4 hours away from my hometown to start a new life for myself. I only had my clothes, bed and dresser. My plan was to start brand new – my old furniture was given away since I had it since college. I was/am saving for nice, quality furniture…..while balancing between that and paying off my student loan debt. I was happy with my living arrangments – I knew this was only temporary for me…not having much furniture….and the truth be told…I have been so busy anyway that it didn’t other me.

Well, they just had to come visit me…and they just had to bring along a chape ass table and chais for me "so I have something." It is actually a patio table and chairs that they bought at a discount since it is the end of summer and there is damage to it. I insisted that they NOT bring me anything…but here they bought this Piece of shyt…and here it is sitting in my living room. I am single, I live in a major city where I don’t have or need a car….I rely on myself only. 2 weeks after they left, I found my DREAM table and chairs (off craigslist). Beautiful solid oak, a fraction of the price….and now it is up to me to get rid of the table/chairs they brought for me. I figured I would give it away to anyone who can pick it up…..oh wait, my dad and step want it back. How am I going ot get it to them when I don’t own a car? They expect me to keep this in my SMALL downtown apartment until they can come get it? I don’t want this in here. Why can’t people mind there own businness. I insisted that they NOT bring me anything….they did anyhow…and now it is up to me to wither get it back to them or get ridd of it……what am I going to do???
