[quote=Anonymous]OP, you seem distressed enough to ask for money but not distressed enough to actually go out and get a job. I'm sorry that your life has gone the way of the poors, instead of the way of the riches, but well: welcome to real life. No one has put you in this situation other than your sense of entitlement. When most. people need money, they get out and earn it.

If your husband has only been working part time for a year, certainly you understand being SAHM is a luxury you actually shouldn't be affording? If he can't find work, you should put on your heels and get out pounding the pavement yourself. You latch together part time jobs to make a full time job. You work whatever job allows you to make money, even if that means working overnights, evenings, weekends. If childcare doesn't fit into this, then you or your husband make the availabity at one of your jobs work around the other persons, so you can ensure you have someone to care for your children.

As another PP noted, if your grandparents were so wealthy, that $150,000 may or may not have made any difference at the end of their lives. It doesn't appear you were to be left with much money as inheritance for yourself if their banks were drained by their end of life care. That was probably their plan. If it was your plan to always get a good chunk of their money, then now you understand that life doesn't always go that way, and why you have to make your own money in life. Counting on an inheritance is sick, IMHO only. Are your grandparents only worth their money?

The deal was between your uncle and grandparents. And that's it. Let it rest. You have no personal stake in this AT ALL. You can find him despicable for not visiting or caring for his parents at the end of their lives, but at the same time - holding resentment for money that has (again) nothing to do with you is a stupid, ignorant waste of time, emotion, and energy. May I suggest therapy to get over yourself?
