[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are considering leaving our inheritance to Charity because my brother is a *(CK Up. And my parents always believe everything should be equal between us. Why should I have to suffer because of his actions. Would you be upset?[/quote]

Very much so. I wouldn't lift a finger to help them in their old age so they could use their precious money to fend for themselves, and they'd have none to leave to charity.

This is not charity but spite and horrendous parenting.

It's not your fault that your brother is a screwup.[/quote]

Er, trying to force your parents to run through their money so there's nothing left for charity is the definition of spiteful. You sound like a lovely person.

[b]Not leaving money to a child who hasn't learned to take care of themselves is not horrendous parenting[/b], and treating all children equally even if it's not "fair" is also not horrendous parenting. If they leave money to you and not your brother, that could easily be the end of your relationship. Would you rather have money than your brother?[/quote]

I'm the poster you're quoting and, frankly, I couldn't give a flip about what you think of me.

Re. the issue and the bolded part: That's not the horrendous parenting part. The horrendous parenting part is lumping the children together. One is a screw up and leaving him zero money is fine. Why should the other child suffer for her brother's mistakes? It's totally not fair.

You bet your last red cent I would never darken my parents' door again if they pulled shit like that with me. Thank goodness they are not that kind of people who would pull something like this (at least, not my Mum, and the man who sired me would be homeless without her) and I don't have a screw up brother.[/quote]
