[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have told my parents and ILs that unless its money, real estate, or jewelry I don't want it. ILs were stung but I stand by what I said. [/quote]

Ugh, you could have been a bit more diplomatic.[/quote]

+1. I would leave you $1 [/quote]

NP. You say that like it’s a punishment, but that’s actually a favor. Leaving someone nothing means they don’t have endless chores for months and months, trying to give away unwanted items and having to throw things away. Giving someone only $1 is actually saving them from sinking hours if not days if not weeks of taking care of your possessions, so that’s actually quite generous. I would 100% take that deal. I have my own money.[/quote]

Lol +1.  The person saying they’d leave someone $1 speaks like someone with nothing of value to leave behind.

Don’t leave me a headache.  That’s all I ask.  And if you do, all your stuff is getting trashed immediately.[/quote]

Also, don't play favorites - save the good stuff (even if it is not expensive, if only it is sentimental) [b]for blood family,  not people who marry in[/b].  Don't cause drama/division and breed resentment in your own family, unless you want that to be your legacy. [/quote]

Um… what? You must be the person who always posts about “legacy of resentment” whenever older family does anything you don’t like, and pretends there are some bright line ethical rules about this stuff.

Your parents’ real legacy is not raising you right. Which is also going to be your kids’ inheritance it seems. [/quote]
