If she doesn't do a reality show based on this, she's missing a $$$ opportunity

[lamppost1911]

Do you think she’ll become a Housewive?

[champagnexdream]

I don't watch those (I need to) but maybe? Do you not have to be married to a rich dude for that show? IDK how it works lolll

[preciate_ya]

I think you just need to have been married to a rich dude (or were the rich one) at this point.

I mean a lot of other people are full time mothers to three teenage kids who also have 'entered the workforce' though cos, you know, that's quite normal when your kids are in school?

I don't know any parents struggling on $60k a month, but most people I know have gone back to some kind of part time work when all their kids were in school.

I'm sure Costner's lawyer/PR did take steps to make her look money hungry and ridiculous but she absolutely did not help herself.

...the way she's been going on about luxury being in the kids' DNA and all, I wonder if she's changed many diapers or attended games/practices/etc

she just made it sound like they've had a silver spoon in their mouths since birth (and they probably have) - that usually means a less hands on mother.

I went from (figuratively) facepalming to (figuratively) slapping my face starting at That was unfair, she already has full time employment as a mother to....

The prenup gave the designer a one-time amount of $1.5 million in the case of a divorce as well as and the first year of mortgage repayments on a property of her own worth up to $1 million.

I was wondering in the last post why she didn't just by a property and with that I'm really confused why she wouldn't look to buy.

[rabbitncavylove]

She wants to stay in the same Santa Barbara area. One mil won’t get her a shack there

[xdecadentx]

Maybe I'm misreading it, I thought it meant mortgage payments of up to $1mill for the year not the property price.

[sisterruth]

Even if it did, the mortgage payments are meaningless if she doesn't have enough expected income to pay property tax, potential assessments, and home insurance on a property that value.

Isn’t her youngest child 13? Full time mom to who? An empty house from 8-3 every day? Often stay at home moms go back to work after their kids enter school. I also haven’t been following closely enough to know the nuances of this, but whining because you’re going to miss your community doesn’t really garner sympathy from me. You don’t have a car? You can’t visit your friends? Are you the first person in the history of the world who has had to move?
