father in law threw a kink in our plans

[Octoberbabiesrus]

She's referring to the mobile home (aka trailer) loan you defaulted on.

Except, I've never OWNED one. Mobile Home, or trailer or shed in a field! Never lived in one. I own my home and my rental property free and clear. (wanna talk to be about budgetting? I'm 27 and own 2 homes (one worth 450k and the other 150k, plus my cars (2008 Chrysler minivan top of line, and a Ford Taurus) free and clear on my husbands income ALONE. Which btw is C.S.A with a health insurance company.)

I know there was someone here who did that, but it wasnt me! We've been three times to disney since 2008. This will be our 4th. Things are TIGHT when we have to foot the bill completely on what is SUPPOSED to be rental income.

Is it wrong that now I'm dying to figure out who really owned the mobile home? I miss all the good threads...

And why she had a loan out on it?

I searched, but only one relevant thread...I know there was a different one with A HUGE many more page than this thread.

13 pages... ridiculous.

and it cost close to $6 grand to move a single wide mobile home, and 10k for a double. After we had to default on a mobile home loan cause of unemployment, its still sitting there. Been 6 years.

Well, you certainly can rely on family to rag on you on the Internet, I guess. My family prefers to talk to one another rather then be so passive aggressive and gossipy.

I should explained that post much more clearly. It wasnt "OURS" it belonged to INLAWS. "we" meant as in family to avoid saying them specifically. I nor husband had no financial ties to that home. Hence, why the inlaws are living in my husband and I's rental property. I didnt think it necessary to get into the nitty gritty details of whose it truly belonged to. As it was no ones real business.

I've read through this whole thread. OP sounds bitter. That is all I have to add.

Oh and my DBF's parents always take us to the airport when we travel. I them. Not sure that's going to happen for hawaii since the flight is at 6am though.

Oh again..goodie for you that you managed to buy two houses by the age of 27. You'd think with that budgeting ability that an extra $100 for parking wouldn't be an issue.

 

[fortwildernessishome]

I must be missing something. At least for this thread I don't care how the OPs kids get schooled. I don't care if she lives in a mobile home. I don't even care if she defaulted on the loan.

I must be missing something. The OP said she'd fine a way to pay for parking. I thought the issue being discussed is if it's fair to expect a friend/family member to drive 2 hours, before the crack of dawn. If giving more then a months notice is sufficient if a family member changes his mind and/or decides the drive is too much.

I was thinking the same thing!!!!! Boy some people really seem bent out of shape over the OP's "vent"!!!!

Since they were family why didn't you step in to help them keep the mobile home? That is what families do. That way you could have had all that rental money for yourself? I suspect the rental money would have more than covered the trailer payment.

We only know how old you are. Maybe your DH is 50 and many at 50 own their home, two or even more. Maybe you got a huge inheritance so you really didn't do anything so wonderful or even stock options. Really your brag is not impressing.

If you own two homes free and clear then it should be easy to raise that $100.

My husband is 33. I'm very very good at investing. Before we flipped houses.
I wasnt bragging. Jealous much?

We did step in to try and help them. They didnt want it. they didnt take care of it, told no one of the straits the home was in. Finally I told them I was coming over and we were looking at the papers. AC unit broke, no hot water, no stove, the bedroom ceiling was about to cave in due to a leak, floor by toliet falling in from leak, floor in front of furnace caved in, front and back stairs broke down.furnace broke. It would of been a 20k easily in repairs. They owed 5k. Now, 1/2 year later, the owners of that mobile home park were arrested. 6 years later that same park is in shambles! bad. Its where the bad rep comes from. its SCARY.


Any ways, this has nothing to do with O.P.

Darn tootin I am. I believe family should help one another. DH has anxiety disorder, he can barely make it to airport with all the thoughts of what if this goes wrong , or that... he is a mess. He shakes, gets sick. Theres no way he can drive, let alone get on a plane. If I drive he claims to be car sick. his dad can keep him calm. Thats the reason too he is needed.

 

[GinnyEmma]

My husband is Work at home. I only go out every other thursday for groceries. I spend less than $30 a month on gas.

I'm glad that your kids and you get out more than once every couple of weeks. I misunderstood based on this statement.

Eh, as far a bent out of shape, it is just interesting to follow the story. It was an attention getting whine that was nasty to others. The op is going to do what she is going to do. It isn't as though she is going to stop the nasty stuff because I think she should. Too bad.

 

[GinnyEmma]

Lol, if your husband is so good at investing why such fussing over what his family owes you? Or a parking fee. A little hard to be jealous. We can go to Disney and pay parking, lol.

 

[GinnyEmma]

Or maybe he us great at investing and is thrilled to use his talent to bless his family. Minus your resentful attitude.

 

[GinnyEmma]

So, does your husband know that you are discussing his family's personal business on a msg board? Mine would have a kniption as would I if he started talking about my mom's financial choices.

I also find it funny that a man with such anixety over going to the airport for fear of what might happen is heading to Disney World with all the what if's that could happen there.

DDP pays for snacks. We drink water, we arent picky where it comes from as long as the source is clean. We have tips planned.

Pack snacks in your luggage & bring them into the parks with you. Bring a couple of reusable water bottles & fill them up at the water fountains in the parks or ask for free glasses of water at any of the QS places. There - no need for the DDP and you can use the tip money you have saved for parking!

I'm very very good at investing.

Maybe annual trips where you have to travel a long distance & fly shouldn't be a priority for a someone who is so anxious. What does your DH do once he's at the airport or at Disney without his dad there? I can't imagine these trips are enjoyable for your DH if his anxiety is that bad.

We've been three times to disney since 2008. This will be our 4th. Things are TIGHT when we have to foot the bill completely on what is SUPPOSED to be rental income.

Things can't be that TIGHT if you're taking annual trips to WDW. If they truly are, you have some choices to make 1)stop taking the trips 2) draw up a lease & make them pay rent. If they won't agree to that 3) send them packing & rent it to someone who will pay rent or if all else fails 4) sell the house.

OP, is there a reason why your MIL cannot watch your niece while your FIL drives you to the airport? If your flight is extremely early in the morning, then he should be back home before your BIL leaves for the stadium but if not, can't she handle it alone for a little while?

 

[melancholywings]

I'm finding it kind of hard to have any sympathy over $100 dollars when you say you have two homes and two cars paid off and you're flying out for a Disney vacation. That's like a color blind man wanting sympathy from the blind.

But I do feel bad that you are in this situation with your FIL - not the car ride thing, but his current dependency on you. That is a tough place to be in and it is natural to feel resentment and bitterness over it.
