[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To actually answer the question, my mom moved out and got a furnished rental. Then we moved again into something she furnished with stuff from her marital home plus new stuff. My mom, being a competent person who thinks about things before doing them, was easily able to make a list and buy things. She was willing to spend time and money to do so. She did not file for divorce without a plan of how to live and care for her children. Because that's not what a responsible person does.

If OP isn't smart enough to figure this out, [b]it's going to be a very bumpy ride[/b].[/quote]

Bumpy ride for the kids, but in my experience there won't be any consequences for the DH. The legal system is very forgiving of a dad that doesn't have his act together, and very critical of a mom who isn't doing everything perfectly and accommodating the hot mess dad. Your mom was probably not only responsible but very aware of this double standard and protecting herself against it. [/quote]

The consequences are the kids are going to dislike his house, exploit his cluelessness, and lose respect for him. Also he's going to spend way more money than necessary.[/quote]

Yes, but they'll still have to go to a house they dislike and spend time with a parent they don't respect who's spending money frivolously when it could go to their benefit in better ways instead. It's no way to grow up. [/quote]
