[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I still don't understand why op feels more entitled to the ring than her sister.[/b]

People should make very specific wills. I am trying to get my dad to do this to no avail.[/quote]

Same here.  I think that making such itemized, very specific wills like that is exhausting for some older people (it would be for me) plus many of us younger people don't really want to stake our claim like that to our parent's stuff while they are still alive.  It doesn't feel right and losing our parents isn't something that we really want to think about before we have to.

Have you followed the discusson at all? No, OP doesnt feel entitled to it. She would like to have, it is very important to her,  grandmother offered to give it to her several times (yes, she should have taken it), sister doesn't care for it. it's not about having a right to it but give and take within a Family. Ops family takes a lot from her and doesn't want to give back even a little thing.[/quote]

Well, Sis must want the ring, too, because she sure isn't handing it over to the OP.  So what should the OP do...sneak into Sis's house one night and pull a Robin Hood on her?

Sis doesnt wear the ring. No, OP cant do anything about the ring, but yeah she can punish her mother by not giving her any more money. I hope she does.[/quote]

Maybe I misread but I do not get the impression that the OP gives her Mom money now.  OP thinks that her Mom will expect her to help her out in the future at some point.  Of course, Mom might die tomorrow and never require a dime of assistance from her mom.

So basically OP is telling Mom - if you want me to help you down the road, you need to give ME (not Sis) the family heirlooms.  If you don't, I'll cut you off and refuse to help you.[/quote]

Thats what she should do, but not tell. Just let the asshole fight on her own/with the help of her her other daughter whom she obviuosly favors. I don't know why you are using plural here, its just one stupid worthless ring.[/quote]

No it's not just one ring.  The OP has been after some other items but Mom has told her that if she wants them she needs to buy them.  Sounds like a mess.[/quote]
