Widower Repaints Stepchildren’s Rooms After They Move Out, Family Accuses Him Of “Erasing” Them
In times of sudden change, it’s important for people to stick together. Additional fights only complicate matters further.
So when Reddit user AsparagusMuch821 bid his wife farewell to the afterlife, he waited for a few months before doing anything to their home, which he now shared solely with his own children since hers had moved out to live with their biological father.
But after the man decided to repurpose their former rooms and adjust them to the new household, his late partner’s family were very much against it.

My mother's husband started clearing out her stuff the day after her funeral. I was in my late twenties, had all my remaining stuff left at my mother's house that I could after 3 months. I lost my mother and my childhood home in threw months so I know how those boys feel. They are still minors, they don't have any real choices.

Not the AH. The kids don't live there, he has no legal right to them, and since they left they haven't stayed over. He shouldn't have to let two rooms stay empty in his own house because people who don't pay the mortgage are sensitive about it.
