[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a really tough situation, OP. I think you can certainly try to have a calm conversation with just your parents to let them know how this makes you feel but it’s unlikely anything will come of it. They seem to have made up their minds for some reason but I would try to explain to them why you want part of the house without coming off as greedy - not at all saying you are but it’s easy to see it that way.

Have a similar situation in my family that is crazy since it’s history repeating itself... my grandparents on my dad’s side left almost everything to my aunt, his sister. Their rationale was that my dad was very successful and my aunt and her husband were not. This caused a rift and my dad and aunt have not had a relationship since, mainly since she just sold everything for cash. Now, I have 2 sisters and the youngest is a total unemployed loser, and my dad changed his will to leave their house and a couple other valuable assets to her. I tried to talk to him about it, even citing the rift between him and his sister over the exact same thing... but no luck.[/quote]

It can be generational - a way to settle a perceived score.  Parents like this would be better off leaving money specified for therapy. Some "legacy"![/quote]
