With so many of us dealing with crap from ILs and BMs about the "house of the kids" and that no matter if WE pay in FULL for our homes or wether we pay for that house with our DHs, there's always some idiot trying to tell us how it's THE SKIDs house...here's something to laugh about.

So, when I purchased a home years ago, without my DHs help (since he had crappy credit), my mother, who is of course ALWAYS on the side of BMs made sure that anytime she saw skid she talked or asked about "HER house", ie. "do you like YOUR new house"...just because in HER thinking, since DH lived there with me, IT WAS the skid's house although DH was NCP.

Well, here we are years later and my sister is divorced. She has 3 kids, none of which live full time with her, but rather sometimes spend the night with her. She just purchased a new home and was showing us all kinds of things about HER new home and my mother says to MY NIECE...yes, my sister's daughter..."so, how do you like YOUR MOM's new house"...lol Ah, wait a minute. She didn't ask about how she liked "HER room" or "HER NEW HOUSE"...but "HER MOM's new house"...Nobody complained. Everyone just continued talking as if nothing strange...while I thought..."WOW, SOB...when I PURCHASED a home, you had to constantly tell the freaking SKID it was HER house, how did she like HER room, HOW did she like HER house...but now that it's my sister and her own daughter it's ok to call it My Sister's House?"

We all know the BS double standard that exists ALL THE TIME with these BMs and our DHs families...constantly pushing us to make OUR homes the SKIDs home, to let them do whatever they want, to make sure we have a ROOM FOR THEM, decorated how THEY want, etc...but of course, when it is the BM, then things can be different.

Sorry, it just really pissed me off.
