How to sell a house you own 1/3 of
Main Post:
Hi everyone. My stepdad passed away in February 2024 and never left a will. My mom was never added to the deed. As a result my mom shares ownership of the house between her, my stepsister, and stepbrother. She’s been seriously thinking about selling the house and moving.
The problem is that we are not on good terms with our step family and we barely talk anymore. I’ve told my mom they could buy her out if they want the house but she is doubtful that will do that, and honesty I agree with her. She’s been talking about just giving the house to them to avoid fallout.
What should we do here? She hates it in this house and is constantly depressed. I wish I could do more to help. Any advice is welcome.
Top Comment: If she is on the deed, there is no reason to give away her 1/3rd. The steps will have to refinance and pay her off, or sell it. Either way, she collects the percentage.
Is House MD one of the all time great series?
Main Post:
New here, so I'm not sure if this was discussed here before. Rewatching House for the 5th time, it has always been in the pantheon for me. Is it just me? I never see it mentioned in the discussion.
Top Comment: As far as procedural network dramas go, House was definitely one of the best.
I'm binge-watching House seasons again and I have to say Idk if it's because I'm older, but the character House is really unlikeable to the point where the stuff I thought was charming or funny when I was younger is just flat out reprehensible.
Main Post:
The Foreman episode with his brother to me is one of the examples where House is just absolutely out of line to the point where it's like wtf is wrong with this guy. There's being a dick and there's intentionally trying to hurt the feelings of your employee and throw a wrench into his relationship with his brother.

The entire point of the show is House being a prick. It's only tolerated in universe because he's a one of a kind medical genius who only takes cases nobody else can treat.
House being a prick because he's miserable and in constant agony because of his leg is a massive part of the series and he's called out for being such an asshole many times. He ends up destroying and pushing away everyone who cares about him.
After watching three times, I finally know what House is actually about
Main Post:
Or at least, what I think House is about.
The first time I watched House, it was still being made and I watched it at a friend's apartment every week during college. I got that it was about a smart doctor who made wisecracks and had an addiction to Vicodin. And my friend had a huge crush on him. We also wanted to see him get with Cameron or Cuddy. I also got that a big part of the show after S3 was the injection of the new cast, and balancing between them and the old cast. When I finished college, the show wasn't done yet and I didn't have a way to watch it without buying the DVDs.
The second time, I was determined to make it to the end. I got frustrated when Cuddy broke up with him, but I kept watching. Then Masters annoyed me and I didn't like the post-breakup vibes. I stopped watching entirely at that point. I don't think my understanding of the show changed much, I just noticed more details. I still hated Vogler and Tritter, and started hating Lucas as well. I didn't like Cameron as much the second time because I saw her hypocrisy for what it was.
The third time I watched was this year, and it got me through some really hard times over the course of 7 months. It was my evening routine before bed most nights. I got what they were going for with each character. I acknowledged when some frustrating stuff was character choices, and when it was just bad writing. I saw little things like Thirteen switching to a Cameron stand-in when they didn't know what to do with her anymore. I saw Kutner foreshadowing well in advance (I know it wasn't planned, but the seeds were there.) I understood Vogler and Tritter even though they were intentionally written as cartoon villains. I understood why Cuddy made decisions the way she did. I even liked Masters when I paid attention to her character arc and didn't jump to "anyone who criticizes House is bad." I also saw signs of House having Asperger's, which I hadn't caught before.
The main thing I got on my second rewatch was the story was mostly about House and Wilson. Anytime there's an issue between them, the story lurches to a halt until they can resolve it. Nothing has any meaning if they aren't friends. That's how House feels, and it's how we are made to feel as well. Their friendship is the glue and spiritual center. Wilson helps House through his lowest moments. House returns the favor. They have shown repeatedly that they would throw everything away for each other.
Neither is perfect and the show goes out of its way to show that. I thought initially that Wilson was some kind of moral compass. Then I caught on to the fact that he just wants people to think he is. He's a messed up man who cares too much and doesn't practice what he preaches. House keeps him grounded and from thinking he's holier than thou. Wilson keeps House grounded and from thinking he's hot shit when he defies authority. They force each other to deal with loss.
The ending of the show was perfect because the premise of the show HAS to end when the reality of House and Wilson's friendship might also end.
Top Comment: Yes it’s ultimately about House and Wilson many of my favorite episodes are House and Wilson centric- Birthmarks,Games , Transplant, Alone , Son of a Coma Guy
How do people here feel about House?
Main Post:
I ask because I was simply curious on how people from this particular forum felt about the show as I was considering checking it out for how its own protagonist is a bit of a jerk, but manages to be kind of fun to watch from what I know about the show.
But yeah I just wanted to have a simple discussion on the show to see if anyone here was into it as like I said, I was curious.
Top Comment: It’s a good show
