[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You think because you chose to be far away from family, including you aging mother, that everyone should bend over backwards to get you what you want? You didn't care enough to help your siblings with the house, but you care this much about one statue? I think you're too late for any advice here. You should have done better before.[/quote]

Wow you are really mean PP. (Not OP BTW.) I'm so sick of how mean people are. OP said it's the ONLY THING she had of her childhood home. People like you suck PP.[/quote]

People like this OP are the ones who suck. As a daughter who just very recently cleaned out her 90-year-old father's home to move him into assisted living, then two days later got a blood-curdling call from him that my brother just dropped dead in front of him, reading posts like OP's disgusts me. How dare she complain, three years after her mother's death, after having done nothing to help her siblings, that her sister won't mail her something. Please. [/quote]

What does that have to do with anything? You have no idea why OP wasn't around when her parents passed away.

Some people are kind and loving throughout their lives, even in difficult circumstsances, and some -- aren't. You cleared out your father's home. Does that mean your siblings don't have any love for him, or that your father doesn't have any love for THEM? They still are his children and their emotional claims to childhood items is just as valid as yours. Again, you are mean, PP. Nothing more than that.[/quote]

Actually, my siblings were there as well (right before the one died unexpectedly at the age of 50 of course). Because it was important to us all. It wasn't important enough to OP to be there. Even if she has legitimate reasons, it's not right to put the burden on siblings then bug them about an object. I'm not a mean person, but I know how to prioritize and have no patience for the entitled. [/quote]

Huh?  I was in Op's shoes and couldn't be there when it was time to clear out the house.  I had kids in school on two different schedules in two different school systems.  It was sort of crazy and I had to prioritize being their for my kids.  Maybe Op had similar considerations or a sick spouse or whatever.  Honestly, I was just grateful that my siblings had more flexibility to help out because if it had all fallen on my plate, I would have had to hand it over to an estate salesperson.  There was simply no way for me to be two places at one time.  [/quote]
