[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I'm in the process of trying to assess how competent he is. For traditional male things, he seems pretty competent. I think he's kind of a guy who just doesn't care too much about his surroundings. His bathrooms and kitchens are clean. But his ex took most of the furniture when she moved out and he replaced it with - I don't even know where he got it but it's all mostly used. [/quote]

Do you have any idea how much it costs to furnish a house? Especially with new furniture? Do you have any idea what a stupid waste of money it is to buy new, expensive furniture for a house with kids in it? Do you have any idea [i]what else [/i]he has to spend money on?

Sounds to me like he made a perfectly sensible utilitarian choice: affordable used furniture that he doesn't have to care if the kids mess it up.

[b]If you need to live in a house with immaculate brand-new furniture, this is not the man for you.[/b][/quote]

I'm the pp grown up stepkid and I disagree with this. I think the stupidest concern that has been raised here is that [b]everyone will resent you if you show up with a new couch. No one will care about that at all[/b]. [/quote]

On the other hand, she better not cry when the kids drip chocolate ice cream on it.[/quote]
