I guess they have an unlimited supply of money to maintain three households between them

is millions of snowbirds and spend seasons away from their families in warmer weather and the families come to visit them from cold climates. I think that’s the answer for them. It’s either that or Joan has to fess up that she does not wanna live away from her family at all and let shot go and find someone who is more mobile and his family would be more willing to come and visit them. When school is out in the summer months, they could spend time in Maryland so she could be with her never-ending grandchildren until they get to high school and don’t want anything to do with her. She’s obligated to her ex mother-in-law somehow I don’t know where her family is with Joan. Half the summer with Joan‘s grandkids half the summer with Chuck’s grandkids the school vacation the families can come and visit them in warmer climates.

Joan wants to re-create the life she had with John but with chalk she doesn’t want anything to change. She wants chalk to give up everything so she can feel the same as she did before. I don’t think this New York thing will ever work. I think she agreed to it, hoping that she could manipulate him Away from his family to the benefit of her I don’t think she really knows , she never really was honest with herself of what she was going to ask him to to give up she was never honest with herself

Shock didn’t realize how thick Joan was in trenched in her past. It’s nice that she cares for her family and mother-in-law, but these aren’t little kids that she has to blend together, but find a way to live in two different places or not.

She should’ve never gone on a show with the pre-existing condition that she would demand someone else to give up their entire life and family to move to Maryland. It is what she’s trying to manipulate. She should’ve told producer she wanted only Maryland in Washington DC based men men everybody’s tired of the widow card, she needs psychiatric counseling in order to get over it . Millions of young people go away to college and go in the military Jones need to be around her adult ““ children.” is irable, but she should’ve been more forthcoming about it to producers because it entails someone else giving up too much later in life.
