Is this just greed on your part or do you feel you deserve more, for example, for taking care of them?


My sibling who is very annoying married a man who allows her to stay home and “take care” of their kids. She does absolutely nothing in terms of work, even though my parents spent tons of money sending her to a private college and grad school. I’m divorced with kids, work hard, and have been fired twice in the last few years. I need the money way more than she does. She’s getting plenty and there’s no need for her to know that there’s more that I’m keeping for myself.


That was your parents’ call not yours.

You are a thief.


+100 you are an envious thief. I hope the money you stole was worth the karma that's coming for you.


In the big scheme of things, it’s not really that much money. I’ve taken a very small amount extra in proportion to the division of assets we’re all getting. And no one will ever know because, like I said, it’s just small extra amounts here and there that won’t show up in any of the paperwork, which no one is really going to check anyway.

My sibling is a very difficult person who did nothing at all to help with our parents. She’s already getting a huge amount money from the estate, so these small extra amounts won’t make any difference at all.

Just here to say I get it, and I would do the same.
I have a well off brother who never offers to pitch in when I go visit our parent. I won’t have any qualms taking some extra money from him when the time comes.


Right, if someone is already well off, why do they need more when their siblings could make better use of the money?

Old and have NEVER gotten it on. I don't come across religious but I am, yet it's one of those faiths where everyone marries before 25 and the ship sailed before it happened for me. Unmarried and unattractive too but obv friends know that.

I voted for Trump as well. I’m a moderate


Haven't voted for Trump yet, but it's looking that way if it ends up being Biden v Trump. Biden and Dems generally are just far far too liberal for my taste and I don't benefit from their policies financially. Honestly I'll prob be voting GOP down the ticket for the next few years including locally, as we need candidates who actually believe in prosecuting crime rather than letting major metro areas just become anarchy.

You sound like a nut job. People like you give all women a bad name.

Abortion when I was 27 that was the best decision for me and only two friends and the guy know. My current Dh does not know and he does not need to know. Most women who are alraedy well adjusted do not regret their choices and move on just fine.


“Well adjusted”? Wtf, no.

You can have made that choice and still have regret. Glad it was straightforward for you but it’s not for many and it has nothing to do with them being “well adjusted.”


+1000000 It has nothing to do with being well-adjusted. I would hope than any woman recognizes that it is a major decision and feeling conflicted is normal. if you are so well-adjusted and fine with it, why doesn't your DH know?

Stop it. I’m extremely pro-choice but when the pro-choice side gets into this rhetoric is when they lose me. You’re being as bad as the strident pro-lifers.

It’s totally fine to have conflicted feelings, not everyone who is conflicted and sad is that way bc of souls, or murder, or whatever. Simply because of the loss of what might have been and what could have been. The path not taken can be emotional when it’s just about a job, a relationship, etc. but when it’s about actual human life it can be profound.

I can tell you I never felt sadness, conflict, regret or anything negative about my experience, until I was finally a parent and then once my brain chemistry changed, it hit me like a bus of considering what might have started many years earlier. It was still the right decision and absolutely the responsible choice - but it doesn’t make the conflict disappear. And your cynicism and vitriol can’t change that.



It's not about a human life though. Nobody gets too concerned about eggs or sperm even though those are potential life. Unless you're one of those people who believes in a soul that gets conjured up when sperm meets egg, there is nothing magic about that moment. Just a bit more potential to become human life. It still needs a lot of other ingredients -- gestation, nourishment, time, even a little luck. This isn't cynical or vitriolic.
