[quote=Anonymous]Look. My brother is "Mary." He sat on his ass for years and my divorced parents paid his way out of guilt. My brother is of sound mind and body but lazy and entitled. One day he got tired of my mom riding him about doing better so he took advantage of a situation and tried to move himself in with our dad and his wife. He was there for two months and then stepmom said he could stay but he needed to contribute to the household, he got pissed off, left and hasn't talked to them for four years with the exception of our mom's funeral when he yelled at our dad and his wife. He is not talking to me now because I gave him the option of getting his own mortgage and taking our mom's house where he lived all of his 40-some years as his own -- he didn't have to buy me out or split any equity or anything, just assume or pay off her small existing mortgage of about $50K -- and he wanted me to get a mortgage and let him stay there indefinitely. Which was a hell no. I work every day to provide for me and my family. I told him and my parents loudly and often that I would not be taking him on when they passed away and I meant that. I go to work every day and I not taking care of a grown man who can do but won't do. Funny, he has an apartment now where he pays all of the bills. Seems like once he know he HAD to provide for himself or be on the street, he found a way to do just that.

The house is yours, OP. Mary got some money, she got a car, she has her mom's things and she had a long time to get a profession and a life of her own. She didn't. Actions have consequences.
