[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two sisters, one ring....that is the problem.  And mom (the owner of Grandma's ring) decided which sister should receive the ring.  End of story.  Or at least it should be!

But it's not the end of story. Thw mother expects long term financial support from the other daughter.[/quote]

So the daughter would be cool supporting her mother long term if she had received the ring instead of her sister?  You believe that? [/quote]

The daughter appears to be cool with it either way. Her mom sucks for expecting it and giving the ring given all the circumstances.[/quote]

I don't agree that the mom did anything wrong.  It seems that the OP believes that she is more entitled to the family heirlooms than a less well off sibling because when the time comes for Mom to need some financial assistance, the OP will be the one (mostly) footing the bill.  So in the OP's mind she gets first dibs on the family loot because she is more deserving of it.

So Mom's reaction is....well, o.k., fine.  If you want to make this ALL about money, we'll make this ALL about money and see how you like it. And the OP does not like it, in fact she feels hurt, which is understandable.  I may be wrong, but I think that Mom is trying to make the OP understand how her attitude (I'm more deserving because I have more money) is making her sister feel.  Mom would rather have the OP mad at her than to see her girls at odds with each other.....
