[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. The house is in terrible condition, we’re simply putting lip stick on a pig and every sibling understood this. I’ve already signed a real estate contract including the work to be completed, no going back [b]and of course the other sibling don’t have extra money sitting around. [/b]

If this house sits for a year I’ll need thousands of dollars more for routine bills including property taxes. Once again, this sibling fully understood what he agreed on. [b]Don’t turn my question into a typical DC Urban thread and blame me, I’ve literally done everything since the death and I’m only asking for honesty.[/b][/quote]

I'm not sure why you're getting defensive, I haven't seen one person place the blame on you.

You wrote in your OP that "And no, there’s no financial issues due to the virus situation" but per your update that they "don't have extra money sitting around" it sounds like they are having a money issues, which can be embarrassing, especially if you send your other siblings ar financially stable.

A few posters have suggested allowing another sibling reach out to your brother and you haven't answered... have any of your other siblings reached out?

She said the other sibling doesn’t have extra money. It sounds like the flaky brother is financially sound (or acting like it), the helpful sibling has tight finances but contributed, and OP is just tired of it all and knows she’ll be the one stuck footing the bill (even if it’s temporary until the house sells). [b]It didn’t read like she’s changing the story to me.

No advice OP, other than to try a more direct approach or have your sibling try. Something is going on with him, and it might be hard for him to admit it. There’s a lot going on right now, and a lot of people who already have anxiety are struggling. It could be he’s dealing with that and it’s impacting how he handles communicating and dealing with tasks that take extra effort. Or he might just be a jerk. Either way, sorry you’re going through this. [/quote]

I definitely wasn't accusing the OP of changing his/her story, rather I was looking for clarification.

I was confused by the sentence "and of course the other sibling don’t have extra money sitting around".

From this sentence, I thought the OP was talking about the brother that he/she is complaining about, but I think the confusion lies from the OP leaving off the "s" in siblings (which changes the entire sentence).

That's why at least I was confused by the contradictory statements, but if you're right, the misspell clears it up.
