Sister Update...

I received a text today from her stating she received a half dozen offers on her house in two days. She accepted one and the house is now under contract. God help us... She is now looking for a "bigger house" in Prince Charming town so as to accommodate him and his mini-wives. :jawdrop:

Now why on earth would she do that? They are in looooove. And the kicker is she told me she is the one buying the house as she qualifies for a VA loan and it will be in her name only. I laughed at this because the town she is moving to is across the state line and they have a lovely community property law, so if she and Prince Charming split it won't matter a hill of beans who's name it's in. It's community property and will be divided as such. Another thing I'm sure she didn't research.

If the do not marry please tell me that law does not work. She needs to get a prenup so badly.

Anotherstep, she is in her 50s so clearly, old enough to be smarter than this. It doesn't matter because my sister was born under the safety net that is my parents and their money. My parents have forever been shelling out the moola for her. She's the favorite child after all. When this all blows up, which it will eventually, they will pony up the cash again. However, I had a horrifying thought recently. Prince Charming knows our parents are older and financially well off. I wonder if he is going to stick it out til they pass in hopes of getting his paws on any of their estate. Thank God she doesn't have a key to their house.

Anotherstep, sadly she is co-executor with me of their estate. Unless my parents alter their will. Even my mother tried warning her that she felt she was moving too quickly. My sister laid into her like a savage. And Prince Charming abruptly got her in therapy, with a therapist hand picked by him. The few times I have met him I have found him extremely controlling. My once vivacious, opinionated sister has been reduced to a "stepford wife". If you ask her a question in his presence, example "Do you want ketchup on your fries, sister?" She will look at him before she answers, as if to make sure she is allowed to answer. I'm seriously so frustrated by all of this but I am totally powerless to do a damn thing about it.

Anotherstep, to my knowledge she is not seeking to start a family. I believe, physically, that ship has sailed for her. But her career is everything to her. She has fought her way to the top working for a non for profit and has become a senior editor. She is able to move anywhere essentially as she has a satellite office from home. And honestly, the minute a man would have told me that his ex wife "forbade" me from taking a planned vacation with him (airfare paid already) and he caved, roadrunner-esque smoke clouds would have shot from my heels I would have rolled out so fast. And I'm also perplexed as to how she thinks she is going to get any work done at home with two teenagers in the house?! She has never been around any children, mine included, for more than a few hours at most. And she is not a multi-tasker. Once she starts work, it's balls to the wall until she's done. She despises distractions. But perhaps Prince Charming's "special snowflakes" are so magical and mature that it won't be an issue...*insert eye roll here*
