" I thought we had a buyer a week ago. Couple with four kids, three by
his previous marriage and one 12 year old girl. The girl is big time
into horses. Two of the guy's kids are in college and the third (they
call him the "bum") is 23 years old, unemployed and hangs out all day
and night playing video games.

The woman loved the place. She walked around from room to room deciding
what each would be used for. She said the in-law/au pair suite is
perfect for "the bum". The 12 year old envisions her own horse or
horses in the barn and paddocks. But I think the husband is too smart
to fall into the trap. "

Maybe if you threw in the wife's horses to sweeten the deal, they'd
sign on.



I risked my life and "suggested" that to my wife. Not a good move.


It is her house. Be happy you have free rent, deadbeat.
