My dad and his brothers have a small house they built in the timber on a creek. Lately it's been lots of drama. One uncle moved away. Another got divorced and his ex-wife's name is still on the deed. My grandma owns a share and wants to split it between the kids, but one aunt feels she isn't getting a fair share. She thinks it's worth $250,000 and it's more like $75,000. No one takes their turn to cut the grass. Ugh. My dad wants to be able to pass it to his kids and my mom is tired and ready to just sell it because of all the drama.

The kids are refusing to go into the backyard and I am now crying over the fact that somehow I lost a bottle of $5 sesame oil between Target checkout and home because DS was screaming at me and distracting me. T minus 10.5 hours until bedtime.

I'll second this. Hs family has a cottage. It's originally owned by the great grand parents who left it to their 5 children. One sold off his part bc he never used it, to one other person (so someone owns 2 shares). One died, and they adsorbed the share, or one person got it can't remember. Anyway these are people in their 70/80s now. So their kids haven gotten the pass down yet but the uncle who owns the majority, his kids can't afford it, no one can afford all of it, and because the future of the cottage is uncertain no one wants to pour money into it. I think what's going to happen is that one of the senior persons is going to pass away and their kid isn't going to afford it and it will be absorbed into the other owners.
I guess Hs grandfather was the sole recipient of the cottage and he split it into 5ths so everyone could enjoy it, but sadly it made it a lot more complicated. And add to that the houses next to it at gorgeous and this is original property in the lake and looks like a shack...
The toughest part right now is assessing the real value. Once my aunts agree on that, they can sort it all out and we can figure out if we really fit into the ownership future.
H's mom and her two siblings inherited the 200 ish acre working farm they grew up on. They still rent out acreage to multiple farmers and then also rent the homestead. I don't know how they do that because there is always some kind of issue.
Is it bad that I don't really want DH to come home this afternoon? I miss him and Madeline (she won't be coming home for a week though) but it's just so peaceful here with just Nora and I. We have no schedule and have just been doing things as we like. It's been lovely.
Um E found his bandstand in a closet and is having a blast with it. #throwbacktoy
M did this the other day too! I have it with some others that I am giving to a friend and now M acts like its her favorite toy. It's still going to disappear soon....

Holy shit guys. DS is still going strong. He slept about 30 minutes from 5-5:30 but DH woke him and he refused to go back to sleep. So sleep from 8:45-1:30, then pretty much nothing.

Re: family property - we inherited and bought into the family farm. It's been a total cluster to deal with and almost kept us from getting married. It can work if you have all appropriate paperwork and common expectations. We are about to drop too much money on legal fees and surveying because of difficult family members that now won't even talk to us.

I'm about to lose my shit.
You and me both. Come on over, it's at least 1/2 price growler fill day at one of my fave breweries. That's honestly the only thing getting me through at this point.
There are now 4 second borns napping throughout my house and all first borns in the pool. I think people just started calling dibs on certain rooms to sleepover. Ordering pizza for dinner is being discussed.
We are out of margaritas! This is my status update, I know everyone is super concerned.
It's an amazing day for a pool party though so if I were a guest I wouldn't leave either!
Also I had to shank the piñata to get it to open. One little girl screamed, "you're stabbing the donkey!!!" It was pretty horrifying for the children supposedly. The fucker wouldn't break though!
We went through FIVE POUNDS of ground beef for tacos. Holy heck. Also one of the dads gave me the most heartfelt thanks ever for not having pizza at a kids party. He was like, "I can't believe I'm eating something other than pizza at a party! I'm eating a taco, amazing!"
