English is my second language.

I have a few properties, I worked hard for them and did pretty well. I am 62 and my wife passed away when I was in my 40s. Now I am dating again and I think I found the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. The problem is my kids thinks she is a gold digger, she’s really not. There main complaint is that she is 51 but that age gaps is really small for how old I am.

Now my two kids live in the house rent free, they just have to pay utilities and I pay the rest. I did this so they can get a head start but they have been living rent free for a super long time (7 years for oldest and 5 for youngest)

Now I proposed to her and she said yes. So I invited my kids to an engagement party. When I told them the news they both started yelling about how she is a gold digger, that she lives in my home for free and doesn’t contribute. I laughed at that and told them to stop. They didn’t so I told them that if they can’t respect my future wife then they don’t get free housing. That’s they get to move out since by their standards they are gold diggers also.

They left and I followed up with them they have a month to move out if their positions doesn’t change, both are calling me assholes.
