[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He needs to get over himself.  Obviously you’ve raised a selfish and immature kid, likely because he’s an only.  He shouldn’t be laying a guilt trip on you like that.

We raised our kids in a very nice cul de sac in a highly sought after DMV suburb, and after our youngest went off to college I wanted to downsize and move into the city.  My spouse was game, but a couple of the kids laid a guilt trip on us about the “family home” etc and my spouse was falling for it.  I reached out to the “kids” (who, like your son aren’t “kids”) in w group email where I didn’t include my spouse and basically said look, we’re entitled to a life too, and we don’t want to live where we raised you guys just so you have a museum to come home to.  And you know how [spouse] is.  Knock off the guilt trip and stop being selfish.”

They backed down immediately.  A dozen or so years later, it’s like we never lived there.  And everyone loves the new place.

He’ll get over it.  Live your life.  [/quote]

OP has an only. Wealth transfer is different when there's just one.[/quote]

Huh?  I said he’s an only. I know that.

“Wealth transfer” doesn’t require giving an only the house he grew up in either now or ever.  It means doing what you want with your money when you want it, not letting him tell you how to spend it -  then leaving what’s left to him.

Being an only has nothing to do with it.
