[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, ah, how often do you visit these childless aunts, OP? I'm thinking pretty much never?[/quote]

Op here. No one lives near them. We have a couple kids, bro/SIL have more.

I saw the hometown couple each year 1-5x a year for 25 years and holidays.

As a married adult with kids I saw one set 1-2x a year when in hometown and the other 1-2x a year when in their town during work trips.

My brother never saw the out of town one. He works full time in a senior position with lots of travel.

But his wife did some schmoozing behind the scenes the last 5+ years with each aunt. Most of it not in person, we all live 1000-4000 miles from one another. [/quote]

None of this matters.  No one should plan around an inheritance from a childless aunt or take issue  about something like this.

Move on with your own life.  [/quote]

Actually the lesson here is you SHOULD make an assertive and direct move to be involved in your far away childless aunt’s estate matters.

Just going to dinner together or reunions each year doesn’t cut it. You need to make a direct proposal about how much you care and will help, and how much others don’t and won’t. [/quote]
