[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently learned that my brother and sister-in-law are annoyed with me for not contributing more to the scholarship fund they've established in memory of their son who passed away two years ago.  They're mad in general that people aren't contributing what they believe people should, but specifically, my $250 when they created the fund and $50 on birthdays is insufficient.  They need to raise $25K in five years, and today, two years in, they have around $11K (so, they're on track for success).

I know everyone grieves in their own way, but... this is presumptuous, right?

I haven't said anything to them because I'm not supposed to know; a different trouble-making relative decided to stir the pot and report to me.  All things considered, it has the ring of truth.  Today they published a social media post leaning on friends and family to contribute, so I'm feeling indignant again after months of successfully swallowing my emotions.

Did the troublemaking relative donate a good amount? Is this an aunt, mother or mother in law who is always looking for ways to insert themselves? I might be loathe to contribute any actions that would make the pot stirrers actions a win for the pot stirrer, [/quote]
