Rights of OW. Not married to my father. My parents not divorced.

Last year, my grandmother died leaving her house to my father. He already owns the farm as his father signed it over to him before he died.

I had reason to need to stay at my grandmother's house last year for a few weeks. My father was happy with this.

Anyway, I invited my own mother to visit me and the OW (who has been with my father 20 years) went apeshit.

Anyway, facebook was involved later that day. Consequently OW drove out to the farm/house to tell me with outstretched arms that 'I OWN ALL THIS'.

I told her that she was as thick as shit and my father is still married to my mother. She owns nothing.

My parents are legally separated but not divorced. Am I correct in thinking OW owns nothing but the shit on her boots?

  1. Leave my vocabulary out of this. This is craicnet. I am not over-invested in my father's relationship. SHE (ALLCAPS) took it upon herself to drive out and tell me that she owned it all. Over-invested much?

Yes after you slated her on Facebook

  1. She has spent most of her time on the dole. She has a job now but will probably go back on the dole soon.

So she has a job?

  1. I'm not sure whether the presence of two houses has confused you. Can you count to two? They live in a house. One house. My grandmother's house is a second house.

"my grandmother died leaving her house to my father."
Dead people can't own houses. It's your dad's house now, what part of that is difficult to understand?

  1. Where did I say that? "she intended moving into my grandmother's house with my father"
  1. My grandmother died.
Yes, and therefore can't own property
  1. I know what legal separation means. Care to educate me further? ;)

If you know what it means why did you say "
My parents are legally separated but not divorced. Am I correct in thinking OW owns nothing but the shit on her boots?"

  1. Facebook. When I'm at war, I'm at war. I will use any and all means at my disposal. Including washing my dirty linen in public. Especially when I come out of the wash - clean.

"Then I went on facebook to all our relatives and slated her "

Like a stroppy teenager

@abigcupoffuckyou I've not misunderstood at all

NannyOggsKnickers · 04/08/2017 19:52

£10 says Mumof56 is the OW.

Petty much?

abigcupoffuckyou · 04/08/2017 19:52

yeah you have. You still are, you have it all arseways entirely.

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 04/08/2017 19:54

My grandmother's house is a second house

It's now your father's house.

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 04/08/2017 19:56

ignore the mad auld bints

Nice Hmm

MSLehrerin · 04/08/2017 19:59

@PigletWasPoohsFriend it was meant in a humorous way ffs......🙄

abigcupoffuckyou · 04/08/2017 20:03

I think some of these folks have wandered into craicnet without realising and should probably not try and police another countries way of speaking....

MSLehrerin · 04/08/2017 20:05

Was just about to say the very same @abigcupoffuckyou. It's Craicnet not fecking church.....🙄

I think you should not assume other posters nationalities.....

Mumof56 · 04/08/2017 20:11

Grin I'm 100% Irish

St01c · 04/08/2017 23:49

Another country's way of speaking.

  1. you're an ambassador for Ireland when you're 'abroad' so I would like us all to avoid typos Grin
  2. I am Irish, and honestly, nobody in very normal my circle of acquaintance walks around calling women "cunts".
gingercat02 · 05/08/2017 00:02

Too many many people on this don't get the ranting Irish thing. It's all OK and doesn't mean you need councelling or locking up OP. And while we're slagging the OW as she deserves, why has no one come out with waggon which is what she is Angry

Mumof56 · 05/08/2017 00:14

Blow in plastic paddys from the UK, telling Irish people they don't understand the Irish ways Grin

HorridHenryrule · 05/08/2017 02:41

Mumof56 are you okay I thought the op was having a good rant but you have invested a bit yourself. There is nothing wrong with ranting it can be very healing to the soul.

Nothing to add to the original question as I know zilch about inheritance/legal separations/divorce in Ireland (though I'm Irish and living in Ireland) but I totally get why the OP isn't the OW's greatest fan, and if my dad had left my mother for someone else 20yrs ago I'd NEVER accept her or have any kind of respect for her, whereas, in the case of my dad, blood is thicker than water, so I wouldn't have the same opinion of him, strange though that might seem.
However, what I really wanted to say is "Congratulations OP, on the longest and most entertaining thread on Craicnet!"

IdoHaveAName · 05/08/2017 09:03

Woohoo, my saga has won me an accolade! Why thank you!

I OWN CRAICNET!!!

I'm in counselling and many weeks it's little more than one prolonged rant. Grin

Worth pointing out that Irish culture isn't an homogenous blob and includes a spectrum from:

Never-swearing, Pioneer-pin-wearing, Legion-of-Mary-attending, moral-policing, tutting-that-it's-disgraceful-Joe, general craic disapprovers.

to

Conversational-swearing, pint-drinking, Tubridy-hating, rage-venting, never-forgetting-a-favour-or-a-grudge, general craic hunters.

I think we've seen examples from both sides on this thread HaloGrin

IdoHaveAName · 05/08/2017 13:03

I'm certainly the latter. My family always used mardhea in conversation - it translated as 'supposedly or according to them'. Never knew it was Irish until the leaving cert!

Jaysus you could hardly have summed me up better (unless you added "Repeal jumper wearing")!

hollyisalovelyname · 05/08/2017 15:21

I have to hand it to you OP

222 posts on your thread in Craicnet.

We've had discussions on murders, RTE salaries, property tax increases, what to wear to a funeral, honorary degrees for two fekers who helped destroy the country, hotels with pools near Dublin and they garner little interest and you OP,* posting about your father ( who looks like Tom Selleck) and his girlfriend's claim to your inheritance....222 posts
Fair f*cks to you.

IdoHaveAName · 05/08/2017 15:26

pmsl Holly. What can I say. Still haven't figured out whether she can get her claws into it though!
