I need a hug... :(

I am joint owners with my family on our home. I asked them last weekend, to possibly consider waiting to sell the home after the baby is born. Nope, they insisted they want the house to be shown if someone is interested (which there is). They helped to fix stuff two weeks ago, and in the past 3-4 days, the smoke detector broke, the closet door broke and I have lights in my home that blew out - I kid you not.

Two weeks ago we told possible buyer that our house was ready to be shown whenever she was ready - but we didn't get a response. Nothing. Then today she said, "I want to see it tomorrow." Apparently this lady was out of town, but didn't bother to tell anyone that, I'm about to drop kick that woman in the throat.

So, I'm here waddling around the house - dusting, etc. I have zero help from my family. My mother offered to come and watch DS - but frankly I'm pissed. Why did they have to do it 8 weeks before the baby is here? When I'm supposed to be packing and getting the crib set up - not worrying about this crap! What my husband is going to be signing closing papers while I'm recovering from a c-section?!?

While the lady said that she would buy it and rent it back to us, I feel like I have no say or stability in my life right now. I am not sure if its hormones or I'm being unreasonable. I have so many other things going on in my life right now, that this is just the frosting on the cake.

Moral of the story? Never be joint owners with family, it never is a good thing.

I swear houses know when they might be sold and they start acting like a-holes. Ours started acting up right after we put it on the market ( I know yours isn't technically but it heard it might be sold). I could write a novel about why it's never good to own a home with family - DH stupidly co-signed for his brother before we were married. It was supposed to be for a year tops. 8 years later...........

Hope things start looking up for you.
