I think that Ivanka is just a little full of herself. My dd has a friend who now lives in NYC working as a fairly successful model, but he also works part time as a waiter in a pretty well known bar in Manhatten. One night this lady was smoking in an area that she wasn't supposed to. Being from a very small town in Texas he didn't know who she was, just that she was not supposed to be smoking in that area. After several rude actions & comments from the young lady, the manager came over & told the waiter that the young lady in question was DT's daughter and that her behavior would be allowed. After this, I have little respect for her.

I do FREE tax returns for seniors, and, as I understand the federal tax law, common law marriages are NOT recognized for tax purposes. That being said, people can claim to be married who are not and people can claim to be single who are not, and I don't think the federal government would be able to catch them!! Claiming to be single is ONLY better than Married Filing Separately which is a real loser!

comment to Hooters post: some folks just need their noses knocked down a notch or two. I hate to hear that about Ivanka. I still think the Trump kids are much more normal than say....the Hilton kids.

It can't be much fun to have a bad experience with a celebrity where the person is unreasonable or unpleasant. However, I think that we have to remember that even nice celebrities are all too human and they have their bad moments on occasion. So I think we have to kind of assess them by their overall behavior. Some celebrities behave badly on a consistent basis and probably fully deserve their bad reputation. However, even the best have the occasional bad day. That is vastly different.

I am shocked she smokes and not sure I believe it. Not saying I dont believe you, Hooter, just that your story is a 'friend of a friend' type story that sometimes isnt the whole story. I really think if she was bad there would be lots more TMZ type coverage of her,esp now that she is on the show every week.

I agree Pamy, you never hear any bad publicity about the Trump kids. You know the gossip type media would be all over something like this. Makes you wander....

In Quebec "The Civil Code of Québec does not confer any particular status on common-law couples. By signing a cohabitation contract, preferably before a notary or lawyer, common-law partners may obtain certain guarantees offered by marriage." "In case of death, the surviving spouse is not considered the legal heir. It is strongly recommended that common-law spouses who wish to bequeath their goods to one another prepare a notarized will. The surviving spouse may also receive life insurance benefits only if he or she has been designated as the beneficiary by the deceased spouse." We had couple in our church who'd been together 25 years. They never signed anything, and he had no will. When he died, his relatives got everything, and didn't even bury him in the plot he'd bought for both of them. Very sad.

Puzzled, good post! I've been w/sig.other for 13 yrs. We've both made our benifici. clear: I am his only - I've seen the paperwork - & he understands that I have 3 children & I have put them on alot of my stuff. I've shared with my kids exactly what they get/don't get if I should die. Of course, if you have as much time invested in a relationship as I do, you make sure that everything is in place - financially - that is.

If everyone took care of things like you did, Texasdeb, a lot of grief could be avoided.

The story is true, not from a "friend of a friend" story, but from the "horses mouth". The Trump kids are definately way above the other celebrity kids but that doesn't mean they're above an occasional bratty act.

Lexie, if a person is a smoker ( i was until 2 mo ago ) it doesnt matter who tells you to stop or who doesnt like it..you still smoke! so cuz DT doesnt like it doesnt mean she wouldnt. In some cases having Daddy not want ya to smoke may make some girls smoke. I still am surprised if she does.

He doesn't like alcohol either, and I think I remember him saying he's never smoked or drank in his life. I find that hard to believe, the way the champagne flows on this show, but I guess that's the way it is. I heard him say in an interview that he doesn't like it when his daughter will order a glass of wine at dinner. It must just be a ton of fun to have DT as your dad!

After seeing the likes of Paris Hilton, it's been nice to see how well DT's kids have turned out. They're both obviously intelligent which means they took their education seriously and didn't just rely on the celebrity of daddy to get by. More power to them.

I think any credit for the good upbringing of DT and GS's kids should go to the moms. Especially when it come to Ivanka and DT jr. Weren't the two mostly in Ivana's primary custody while Donald was frolicking with Marla?

Canada protects women. Lots of shacking up occurs where the guy has absolutely no commitment to act as 'father or husband' and can walk out without any legal ramifications. I was glad when women were given some status by the Lowering of the time needed --6 months. NOW for the other side of the coin....I shared a house with a guy for a yr and a half. We did not sleep together, he was 15 yrs older. However, IF i was an excellent liar, I probably could have claimed part of his business and part of the house when I moved out. In a way, I think 6 months is a little short but it to help battle welfare fraud. Single people shacking up and trying to collect double $$$. Thx for that link. I'm really surprised it say Two yrs. Wonder if they changed it

Very interesting to see how differently our two countries see common law marriages tax-wise! I will share one of my all-time favorite tax stories: I have a lady whose taxes I have done for several years. She and her husband file separately - which is, by FAR, the least advantageous tax status. She asked me to put a note in the envelope with her return to explain that she and her husband don't sleep together and therefore she should be able to file "Single." I just handed her the envelope and said that was outside the scope of the TCE program, BUT that the envelope was not sealed! I have no idea what she did, but I hope some IRS workers got a good laugh that year!
