Maybe my brothers are the ones with bad karma

It's awful, every time a member of my family comes to stay with us our plumbing decides it's not going to be help full to our bathroom and laundry needs. The very first weekend we lived in our new home (new to us no where near new) and my brother and his wife and kids come to visit, our main sewer line choose to let an enormous amount of tree roots infiltrate it and clog it completely causing it to back up into my bathtub and shower fun to clean up right, because it was a weekend we couldn't get anyone out for two days which means going back to our other house, which was thankfully still our house, to shower and take care of business all other bathroom needs and for those little ones that couldn't hold it long enough to drive across town had to be taken care of at the gas station up the street or walmart, fun weekend right. The second plumber was finally able to clear the sewer pipe of the roots and said it needed to be replaced as soon as possible before the roots overgrew it again. Of course I assume my darling husband is going to take care of this problem and oversee that it gets fixed, stupid me that's what get for assuming you think I would have learned over the past 9 years that when I want something taken care of it's best to just do it myself and save the frustrations and possible anger. FYI it only takes about six months for roots to takeover an eight inch sewer pipe and I'm talking six feet of roots down the pipe. So this is the pleasant surprise we got when we got home from camping with my brother Zach in tow who is on vacation from being an embassy guard in Peru, the man deserves descent plumbing! At least it was a week day and we were able to get the plumber out right away so we could at least resume bathroom and all water supplying functions within a few hours but now we need to get the pipe replaced ASAP and at a price of an estimated $1800 who would pass that up. And since it usually makes me feel better to blame things I can't control on other people I'm just going to assume it's my brothers that bring bad Karma with them.
