Just be careful so that they don’t increase interest on the savings account! You may end up with a 1099.

I have a Niece in law like this. SIL had her when she was 40 and it was time to go back to work after the sister was 7. Nope, had to stay home with the new baby and Gramma was going to foot the bill. Very needy child who couldn’t go to pre-k or nursery, too clingy to Mom who sat on the couch crying over her divorce. I think the gramma wasn’t thrilled with her birth either… she never updated her will to name her (but named older sisters to inherit their house in an life estate), then died thee years later.

I’ll bet it’s especially fun for “your kid.”

We had a beloved, salt of the earth, do-gooder neighborhood dad drop dead of a
heart attack. He left behind a grieving widow and 3 teen DC. There was palpable grief and shock for the first few days until another neighbor dad offered to help the widow sort through essential financial documents and info. Together, the widow and friend found receipts and then a paper trail detailing the DH’s secret life with an out of town partner. It had been going on for a decade. The family quietly buried him and opted no funeral/visitation/services “according to his wishes” but the family was too angry to even deal with a funeral.

one of my good friends is the wife in this situation -- except she knows everything. her husband has NO CLUE that she knows. I'm not going to reveal the source just in case this is the same person!

But my friend is biding her time, taking all the evidence to a divorce attorney and other supporters. She's being smart about the money. when she does reveal what she knows, the husband is in for a shock and reality check and probably not such a great time.

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


You lack any character whatsoever. There are good reasons your sibs are more successful than you.

When they died about a year or so later, I made my siblings think they were all getting their fair share of our parent’s estate, which they somewhat are, but in reality, I’m getting more than my siblings.

I’ve been surprised at how easy it has been to hide various small amounts of money that add up to me getting thousands more than my siblings. One sibling has been sniffing around a bit and asking questions, but I think she’s too dumb to figure it out. Bonus points for getting to stick it to my one really annoying sibling.


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?


A poor person could make the same argument at a store when justifying stealing. Would you go easy on them using the same rationale? Theft is theft.
