Dear STalks blogger, 

If you need to untertain and listen to a crazy story, here we go ! 
BM asked to DH if he could help her and stepfather to build their house.

In fact, they have bought a parcel, and want to build on it. DH is a subtrade artisan and have is own business, that's why BM though it could be natural to ask DH for free help on it ! 

She sends plans and projet, and asked DH to have a look at it. First, she talked about row material and how DH could help her to have a good price (he have special contacts). 
Then she asked if DH could volunteer during week-end we visit my Gmother. BM lives 2 hours aways, in the same town than my GM. So we sometimes go there. 
She said to DH that she wouldn't ask such a thing if it was not for having something to give to SS. 
 

So my BM think it's ok for DH to work for free on week-ends we don't have SS, for HER and SF own possessions, because it might be possible to left something to SS one day. 
 

She is so creative.

Have a good day you all !

No free work for BM.  No getting her a good deal.  Did DH get a good deal in his divorce?  Is she stopping CS for working on her new house ?

Love to mention their kids as an excuse to guilt the dad into doing stuff for free instead of her saying "dear exhubby, i'm a cheapskate, can you build me a home for free or super cheap?? Its for our son ok!!"

I wonder who put her up to that? Hmmm ... Let me think...

Here's my take on this - your MIL thinks you (and your family) are rolling in money. Therefore, she imagines that your husband is getting the good of this too. Therefore, he can afford to build a house for his son ... and his ex and her husband would simply be looking after it until he comes of age. OR something twisted like that. 

I am stunned that anyone would think you'd drive two hours to see your grandmother and your husband would rather go off and work unpaid all day for his ex. How insulting for your grandmother. And how insulting for your husband that his ex thinks that he should spend his free time making her life easier. What a damned cheek!
