Does seem strange. But we do not know about their arrangement. If everyone involved made an informed decision on this and kids are fine, then good for them.

Haven’t you posted before about this woman who is a sahm but is seemingly never home because of these long camping trips? I thought at the time the consensus was that she is indeed strange, but it’s your brother’s problem.

Super weird and if it were my brother and SIL, I’d probably be asking for opinions from trusted friends.

Any clue when this started? Is this someone she grew up with?

Id find it weird even if it was a woman, but much more so that it’s a man. 4 kids are a lot to leave behind for a week regularly.

It’s really weird that a mom of four little kids (I’m assuming they’re little if she and your brother have been married for 7 years) would go on weeks-long vacations without her family, nevermind that it’s with some man other than her husband!

Everyone I explain this to immediately thinks affair. Thoughts?


This is a totally normal and harmless DCUM anonymous post, assuming the parties involved don’t become aware of it. It’s ridiculous to skewer the OP; we are all here guilty of rubbernecking.

Why do you have to explain this to anyone?


I think it’s weird so I’m asking for others opinions.


You’re not a part of your brother and SILs relationship. They are the only 2 people that need to be comfortable with what she does. Your opinion and thoughts on the arrangement do not matter.


I have not shared my thoughts with them. I’m asking a bunch of strangers on an anonymous board what they think.


It doesn't matter what we think.

It matters what your brother thinks. Presumably he knows the arrangement and is fine with it. In that case, then why are you trying to stir up trouble?


Again, unclear how asking stranger for an opinion causes trouble.


Don't act like your asking a question is all innocent. You clearly have your own opinion and judgment and are just looking for other ppl to back you up. We can see through you.


Isn’t this the point of DCUM? People ask questions. Other people answer them.
