[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had the siblings decided to keep the house, OP would be here complaining about how difficult the brother and sister are. The narrative would be that she pays the lion's share of the bills, yet they get the best summer weeks and always leave a mess and break stuff. You just know that would be the case.[/quote]

This same cynical strain of anti-vacation home post is peppered all over DC Urban Mom, especially the family and real estate forums. Seems like the same persons parrot the same script, no matter if it’s co-owned by a family or not. I suspect it is lower means malcontents and investor class trying to make vacation home ownership sound terrifying. Both love highlighting how great it is to have zero responsibilities or drama. And taxes and repairs you can write off are a spun as a monumental burden. Owning nothing and pissing away family wealth on rent and hotels is so blissful. No actually, past a certain age it’s embarrassing and nobody is impressed by your faux coy brag photo drops on Facebook of your stay in another nice place you don’t own. And no, nobody thinks a serial renter has a big pot of money in bank. Because you don’t — or you’d own a vacation home.[/quote]

:lol:  Best satire on the net.[/quote]
