Because to creditors she can blame the bad credit was caused by him as she is a SAHM. She can quickly rebuild/ repair credit once divorce is settled. Then she can/will pay HER bills on time thus showing it (late payments)were caused by him. Not morally right but oh well. No one ever said divorce was pretty or fair. I have personally seen some pretty shrewd things done in a divorce. One male friend had a ditzy/forgetful wife who was a SAHM. She never had to work during their 30+ yrs of marriage. They divorced b/c she cheated. In their divorce, just so she wouldn't get it, he cleared out one of their hidden nest eggs. He buried $30k cash in their yard. Yes, $30k.. Not legal but he thought it was morally right. If N kept "taking" (buying gift cards for herself) money, maybe she felt like that was her "paycheck" for working as a SAHM. Legal -yes. Morally- some would say yes. Some would say sneaky. It would depend on what agreement they had concerning how money was to be spent. She won't be able to rebuild her credit as you think. However, if all of Kane's money was going into a joint account, which I suspect it was, and Natasha wasn't paying bills, and I presume credit cards, that falls on her too. |
| I don't see a problem with referring to N as a "single mom." I don't think that term is just reserved for moms who are completely left by the dad. N is obviously the one caring for the kids day in and day out: taking them to school/camp, cleaning up after them, cooking meals, tucking into bed, etc. Whereas P (even though a fun, caring dad) is really just the one hanging out with them once or twice a week, taking them to do fun activities. It's not a criticism of him — he has a demanding job and clearly loves his daughters. But it's easy to see N is the one doing the real, everyday task of being a parent, and now she's really doing it by herself (not that that didn't seem to be the case before, honestly). Hence, single mom. |
| So, I met Kane today. He really is lovely in person and was super nice to my DD. |
|
Oh no I'm sure he's going to be a total ass to his gushing fans.
People are so dumb around here |
| did you all notice that N replied to all of the recent, post-divorce announcement comments on her post from February, "Unconditional Love"? |
Most people are lovely in person, but act differently behind closed doors. Women aren't driven to taking the kids away when their spouse is lovely. |
| Where is she living? Here or some other state? |
NO, NO, NO, she's not a single mom! I'm a single mom and work two jobs and I do everything else a stay-at-home mom does, but I don't have another another adult at home to help me in any why whatsoever. It's a MASSIVE insult to single-moms to call anyone who is NOT really a single-mom a single-mom. STOP. Just stop. |
| Um, divorced women are single moms. What else would you call them? Anyone who isn't married or living with a romantic partner is a single parent. |
| I remember her saying on air that when they were (dating or earlier in their marriage--can't remember) she would take money without him noticing by getting $40 cash back every time she went to the store. She didn't think he'd notice unless he looked over the receipts, which he didn't. She laughed about it, but I remember thinking that was just so wrong! It's the sneaking and hiding that's wrong. I believe everything he's said. I'm sure that she has some legit claims, but I can totally see that she would be sneaky and clear out their accounts and not pay bills to stockpile money to line her own pockets. |
She is NOT divorced. She's spent the past ten years spending his money making silly crafts to pass the time. Never had a job. That's not a single-mom! |
And that makes you awesome! Seriously. You're a badass and a crazy hard worker! Lots of respect to you. However, I still think it's a term that describes one situation for a variety of many people. I just don't see how a divorced woman can't be considered a single mom? Just because the kids still see their dad once a week? It makes zero sense to me, and I don't see the point in berating women who use it that way. You and N have differences, but you are BOTH mothers who are SINGLE and the primary caretaker. I don't see a reason to be insulted. One is a single mom who is working two jobs, the other is a single mom who is a stay at home. Why constantly compare your (and I mean "your" in a general sense) workload to that of others, as if that determines better recognition/value? |
Before we get too excited, technically, Natasha isn't divorced, so she is neither single nor a single mom, at least not yet. |
| +1 Thank you PP, that was exactly my point. I'm divorced too, btw. |
bump! |
