Inheritance Issues

Lifestyle Relationships

How would you react if your parents received their inheritance and they spent it on themselves or gave it to their siblings, knowing that you were going through a rough patch. Its not even the fact they did not give it to you its that they did not even offer or acknowledge you or your opinion as how to spend it.

How would you react if they gave it to a child of theirs just not you and you were the one supporting them.

How would you continue to fulfill your responsiblities towards them as you were previously.

Opinions needed.

Re: Inheritance Issues

It is their money they have all right to spend as the see fit.

On other hand if i am going through a rough patch i would certainly not happy, but there is nothing could be done legally or morally.

There could be many reason on do not want to take his share or willing to give up for siblings, even i myself contemplated this for while.

Even if I am not happy with them for not sharing inheritance with me, but my duty towards them would remain unchained, they are still my parents.

If i was supporting them I would throw them out of the house and send them to live with the person who they gave the money too.

Though seriously, they are your bloody parents. Speak with them instead of posting on a website.

Are you supporting them because of expectation or wind fall in term of inheritance or doing as duty as child?

You might feel angry due to inheritance issue, but duty as child never seize. But we are living in diff rent world though.

Re: Inheritance Issues

Parents are different breeds, if you are supporting them, they might think you are fine for yourself and your other not so well doing sibling needs more help from their side. so that may be the reason they are helping others not you from the family.

Re: Inheritance Issues

its dad's sole responsibilty [islamically] to provide for his children and whatever monies he receives is meant for the family. and this is the reason why sons receive 2/3rds of the assets coz they have to support their family. remember, everything starts from home, even charity.

Re: Inheritance Issues

Who cares? I'll keep on supporting them. I am not supporting them "expecting" a return in form of money or otherwise. I am supporting them coz I "love" them and my love is unconditional

Re: Inheritance Issues

U shud keep supporting them.

Though i have heard so much of this issue that i feel Desi parents don't know they r required to be just to all siblings.

But the question is - is it your obligation to support someone (even parents) if they are capable of supporting themselves (and you are having financial difficulties)?

Aside from the obligation bit, I think it's more about hurt feelings: if child A is breaking his back to make his parents happy - not for any personal gain, but because he loves his parents and wants to see them happy and parents are dismissive of him and his needs and turn around and favor child B (who's a once a year visit and Christmas and Birthday card kid) - how should child A feel? I think it's natural to feel hurt and resentful.
