some family conflict<\/a> when there\u2019s money at stake, and things can get really heated when inheritance money isn\u2019t split up evenly among family members.<\/p>\nThe story below features a woman who is less-than-thrilled that her sister is set to get more inheritance money than she is.<\/p>\n
Dive in to the story below and see what you think.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a 35 year old woman. I got a younger brother (23 James) and an older sister (38 Jesse).<\/p>\n
Our father passed away due to an accident when we were small and our mom raised us alone. We didn\u2019t struggle or anything. My father left a good sized estate and the insurance money. Recently our mother had a health scare with cancer.<\/p>\n
It turned out to be benign but she still wanted to make sure her affairs are in order. About a week ago, she sat us all down to tell us how she had divided her estate, our father\u2019s estate and all inheritance.<\/p>\n
What was this all about?<\/p>\n
I was a bit outraged to hear Jesse was getting more than James and me. Jesse isn\u2019t married and doesn\u2019t have any children. She has a rabbit. I have four kids and James has two. I felt like we needed the money more than Jesse.<\/p>\n
Mom was even giving her the house. Jesse doesn\u2019t need that big house all to herself and a rabbit.<\/p>\n
I told my mom how I felt and suggested that Jesse get less. James and I have kids, spouses and more expenses than her. I have twins and she has a rabbit! I told mom she shouldn\u2019t get the house and all that money.<\/p>\n
There was a catch to all of this.<\/p>\n
Mom put a clause in her will that states if my sister doesn\u2019t get married or has a child within a certain amount of time, she gets nothing. I felt like that was fair. Jesse has a successful small business (makes jewelry). She doesn\u2019t need an inheritance.<\/p>\n
My mom told me I was being very disrespectful and it was her business how she divided up everything. She said she left what she felt was fair to me, my sister and my brother.<\/p>\n
I screamed at her that she was clearly playing favorites and if she wants to see her grandkids again, she should reconsider her will. James didn\u2019t agree with everything but he thought that Jesse shouldn\u2019t get our childhood home.<\/p>\n
It has more room for a family, not a single woman and rabbit. I haven\u2019t spoken to my mom or Jesse since then. Our family members are saying I need to respect our mom\u2019s choice and my husband said to let it go.<\/p>\n
AITA?\u201d<\/p>\n
