Am I wrong for thinking I should inherit my late mother’s house over my sister?
I’ll try to make it short because I honestly don’t think I’m in the wrong here.
My mother passed away a few weeks about and her house has become an issue between my sister and me. I’m married with three kids my sister is married but no kids yet. We both live in small apartments.
I think because I have a family and she doesn’t I should get the house. She is fine with me getting the house but wants me to pay her for her half. I feel like I have never heard of that usually one child inherits the house.
I think that’s crazy we are a family and I have three kids and a wife to provide for and she is using our mother’s death as a payday. There’s no way I could afford to give her that much and she knows it.
Now she wants to sell the house and split the money from it. My wife and I think she is being beyond selfish and putting money above family and being an all-around brat. Now she is demanding i decide what I want to do with the house but I’m not budging.
When she wants to grow up and put family before money we can talk.
Here are what netizens think:
- Actually, selling the house and splitting the proceeds is what usually happens in situations like this. Sorry, the idea of sister gifting you the house is not a fair result to your dilemma.
- I cracked up reading how OP acts as if this sort of agreement is rare or doesn’t ever happen.
- wow entitled much, it’s actually the common standard to buy the other one out if one wants to live on the property. You and your spouse are the ones needing to grow up. Your children dont make you more important
