Sister has put an offer down on a house in Prince Charming town...

But not to worry, the house will be in her name only. *insert eye roll* Evidently, she missed the part about "community property" in the state she is moving to. Oh, and Prince isn't contributing to the down payment. That will come from the proceeds of her house's sale. But he will contribute to the mortgage.

My favorite par so far was that it was 1/2 a mile from Prince's ex and had one bathroom for four people, three of them being women. However, no worries there as sister said, "I mean really, how often could his daughters possibly be there?! It won't be an issue." My eyes rolled so far back in my head at that point that I may have entered another dimension.

But hey, what do I know... I'm sure it will all work out for her. I'm just some bitter bm with two failed marriages anyhow. Wink

"I mean really, how often could his daughters possibly be there?! It won't be an issue."

Hahahahahahaha! I hope you got that on tape.

But seriously, this is not a bit funny and I wish she was not selling her home and moving for this guy.

I know, I know. And she recently made some off the wall comment to me that his ex-wife, who is a PhD, was thinking of taking a teaching job overseas and how great it would be if "she would only take that manipulative brat of 13 year old daughter with her" (side note: sister seems to mesh better with the 16 year old). I almost fell out of my chair at that for the simple fact that she has not yet realized that anytime you marry a man with children the very real possibility lay on the horizon that some circumstance could arise in which he will become "full-time dad" rather than "every-other weekend dad". How many times have we seen that happen on this site now? She's clearly dickstracted.

Thanks, Lady. It is but I'm powerless to do anything. I've stated my concerns and been rebuffed continually. So I've adopted the "not my monkey, not my circus" approach to it.

Yep, and lest we forget how often feminine hygiene products are not disposed of properly. Sister has no idea what she may be in for.

Oh, you mean the bloody menstral pads that get stuck to the bottom of the bathroom trash can?

I see, said the blind man to the deaf guy.

Oh, I'm well aware. 13 has already gone out of the way to exclude sister from activities with Prince. Example: It was Prince's birthday recently and he asked my sister to join him and his special snowflakes for dinner. 13 found out and played the "dadddddyyyyy why can't we have it be just the three of us like it allllwaaaaayyyyssss was?" :sick: Guess what? 13 got her way and he made alternate plans with sister for them to go just the two of them.

Well, well. So already little miss 13 yo princess snowflake is causing problems. I feel like I am watching a made-for-tv movie, the ones where you cant help watching (train-wreck style), and you can see into the future of the character as the drama plays out, so you start yelling at the television screen hoping they will hear you, and stop doing what you know will bring them sorrow. But you know they cant, and you know the heroine will somehow fall and fail and then cry...or go to jail...or be abused somehow. It will end up badly.

But in most television movies, the heroine gets up, dusts herself off, and finds redemption in the tragedy.

In my sister's case, god love her, my elderly parents will pick her up, dust her off, and provide her with the funds to sweep this under the rug as just another "learning experience". And after I question their logic, for the umpteenth time, they will play the "Well what do you expect us to do?! She is OUR child!" card. Yes, she's a 55 year old child *insert eye roll* And "You wouldn't understand, Mofo. You have YOUR children and poor sister has NO ONE." So the prodigal daughter returns again to the fold... :sick:

And like the prodigal son, they will kill the fattened calf, and rejoice, because their precious child has become more precious with the pain of the experience. And returned to their open (and generous) arms.

I think you were wise, HRNYC to insist on the prenup. It saves a lot of unnecessary pain later should thing implode.

Clever, that was a hot topic for exdh and I. He insisted his special snowflake use my master bathroom, rather than the kids bathroom in the hall. I know it may sound shallow but it was his inability to compromise on this issue for me that helped lead to our demise.

Sue, it is NOT a modest home. Sister has a penchant for historic homes, homes that for the most part contain only one bathroom due to the needs at the time, so there in lies the rub. Despite it's humble restroom situation it is located in a "college" town where real estate is quite pricey. Even for a lackluster cottage. And it has three bedrooms, so she is thinking of sleeping quarters.

Uh - my charming vintage home had three bedrooms and one bath when Asshat and I bought it. We finished the basement for our nanny, adding a full (and super awesome) bathroom.

Asshat and I shared the other full bath with DDnow25then4. Along come Thing1 and Thing2, and suddenly I am sharing a bathroom with Asshat (who in all fairness is out of town Monday through Friday) and three kids, two of whom are little boys Sad

DD25 moved down to the nanny suite after Asshat and I got divorced, so she had her own (super awesome) bathroom while I was stuck sharing the upstairs bath with the Things.

Now I have my en suite, and it's 20x15 and I LOVE it!! No one uses it but DH and me. And the Things when they are visiting. They refuse to take showers in the filth that BabyVoice and Karate Kid refuse to clean in their shower.

Moral of the story - don't share a bathroom with KIDS or SKIDS...
