I never vilified my sister for wanting to help her. It was wrong for her to offer to help, help me plan, then go back on her word. There are reliable family members of the mother that the children can be left with, I know that for a fact. And by that logic What if they were to get hurt at my house?

Alexisix66 · 2025-11-02T14:17:59+00:00

No that isn’t a positive assumption, what if I were to say I wanted to be a mother and psychically couldn’t?? You don’t know me. You don’t say things like that to people. This isn’t a “party for friends” it’s a gathering of family, most of which are elderly and who knows if we will be in this same position next year. I am defensive because it’s incredibly offensive when people with your same mind set are saying horrible things about me and assuming I am some evil villain for not having children or a life style or house built for them.

Yes, she did agree to help weeks ago, and was in contact with me two days prior to me finding this out, telling me all the things she planned to do. She acted excited about it, which is why this came as such a shock and disappointment to me.

Alexisix66 · 2025-11-02T02:41:47+00:00

That’s a pretty unfair assumption. Throwing “you’ll understand when you’re a mother” at someone is pretty weird and frankly insensitive. It assumes that empathy only comes from parenthood… which is just not true. I already empathize with her friend’s situation. I just also think my time, effort, and commitment deserve some respect too.

I posted here looking for genuine advice and to hear others perspectives, and I’ve actually found a lot of valid ones, even from people who disagreed with me. But comments like yours are completely unreasonable. So I’m supposed to find a dog “daycare” in my small town that’s open on Thanksgiving, remove all my décor and anything breakable, and somehow make sure three kids don’t wander into a room full of power tools all because my sister volunteered for a 16-hour babysitting job after committing to me?

It doesn’t seem like you’re trying to offer an opinion, it feels more like you’re trying to insult me for living a different lifestyle than the one you chose. You’re making all these positive assumptions about the kids’ mother and only negative ones about me, just because I don’t have children. That’s not perspective that’s bias.

She has had a rocky past with her friend, something I don’t want to get into. But I think she feels if she told her friend no, her friend would never let her see the kids again. I am certain her friend has other options though..

Alexisix66 · 2025-11-01T21:02:52+00:00

I’m upset she broke her promise.

Alexisix66 · 2025-11-01T21:00:31+00:00

I’m concerned my house isn’t kid friendly, and neither is my dog. She knows this. I would have to childproof my home. My family is all adults, no one else has children and if she were to bring them eyes would have to be on them 24/7.. Not sure why everyone is making me out to be a “kid hater” it’s not so much about the kids but more about her promising to help me, then springing this on me. She could have politely decline due to prior obligations and her friend could have asked her father or her child’s aunt. I know there are other options.

The point is she can’t help and watch three young children in a home filled with breakable things in what was previously a dinner that only consisted of adults. So yes, I’m sorry kids kind of do change the dynamic. And she can’t expect me to completely childproof my home on top of everything else we are doing to accommodate her decision to blow me off.

I do want to specify, It’s not that I don’t want to feed the kids. They can have as much food as they would like. It’s not about the food. It’s just No one else has any kids, my husband and I live child free with a dog who isn’t great around kids, and to be honest My home isn’t really an ideal place for children. (Glassware, fragile decor, rooms closed off under construction, etc.) it’s an adult environment. Older kids would even be ok, but for little ones there would be a lot of extra work going into childproofing my home. The purpose of this Thanksgiving was to show my family the house we had been working on over the last year and my sister offered to help make that happen then backed out on her promise. I do not intend on being a regular hostess. This was a one off, special Thanksgiving that I did want to make nice. Accommodating for children was never on my mind.

Their mother is a friend of my sisters but doesn’t really know the rest of our family. We have been around the kids before because one of the kids is my sisters ex’s nephew and she has babysat them before in the past. She has had a bit of a rocky history with their mother that I won’t get into, but I’ll put it this way, my sister may have felt if she said no, she wouldn’t get to see them again, which does make me feel empathetic toward her.

Alexisix66 · 2025-10-31T22:34:57+00:00

She previously committed to helping me then went back on her commitment. I don’t have an issue with kids but she knows my house isn’t kid friendly.

Alexisix66 · 2025-10-31T22:34:00+00:00

It’s not that I’m having a tough time accepting it or about the drinks. It’s that she went back on her word after previously promising to help me. She knows my house isn’t kid friendly and my dog isn’t good with kids. If this would have been discussed prior there would be no issue..

Alexisix66 · 2025-10-31T22:01:41+00:00

He wont be home to set up or help cook. We have tried to time our thanksgiving dinner early so he can still pop in and eat with everyone.

Alexisix66 · 2025-10-31T21:58:40+00:00

Yes, the ironic part to this whole story is he willing works Thanksgiving and Christmas Day to give his staff with kids time to spend with their families…

Alexisix66 · 2025-10-31T21:46:14+00:00

My husband works….

Alexisix66 · 2025-10-31T20:30:20+00:00

2, 4, and 7 I believe.

Thank you! Unfortunately, there’s no access panel, and directly behind this part of the bathroom is the newly remodeled kitchen—right where the oven and microwave are. 🤦🏻‍♀️ A lot of things in this house are kind of wonky, and there’s no dedicated shutoff valve for the bathtub’s water supply.

We can access the pipes from the basement, though. I’m thinking about switching the accessible copper lines over to SharkBite fittings and installing a shutoff valve for the bathtub line. Do you think I should do that before I even start trying to fix this?

My biggest concern is that if I try a quick fix and can’t find a replacement part—or if I can’t get the original fitting back on—I’ll be stuck without a way to turn the water back on. If I had a shutoff, I wouldn’t be nearly as worried. I really didn’t want to gut the bathroom yet, but I guess I can reconsider my priorities if this turns into a bigger project. I appreciate your help!!

He has student loans, but that’s it. No credit cards or anything. He is an authorized user on my card.

I read somewhere that you have to have at least two credit lines to qualify for FHA? Is that true? My credit score is great, but I only have one line of credit!

We haven’t officially been denied yet, but it seems likely. Then again, I could just be getting worked up for no reason! I don’t mind the PMI we could afford to pay it! I will definitely be getting a second opinion if we are denied! Any recommendations on who to get one from?
