[quote=Anonymous]I'm not getting why posters are saying that op seems entitled. First, she asked for opinions, she hasn't sctually asked her uncle for money. Also, it is typical, customary, whatever you want to call it that parents leave their money evenly divided among their children. Further to that, if I were to loan one of my kids a large sum of money, I would either expect it repaid or deduct it off his future inheritence in order that I treat my children equally. Now, I agree that there is probably more to this family story than op knows (there always is), and op especially since your own father is not bothered by what happened, I do not think you should ask your uncle for the money. If anyone wanted to discuss this with your uncle, it should be your father, and he does not seem inclined. One last thought(s), if your father were to approach your uncle and if your uncle did give him a sum of money, who is to say that your parents would give it to you AND if your father had been given the same sum of money by his parents many years ago, who is to say that he would have grown it the same way your uncle did.
