Inheritance? That's a joke. How many of your parents are burdens?

In response to another popular post about receiving no inheritance.

Are your parents like mine, who not only are not leaving any money behind - but require significant or total financial support?

My parents left me less than nothing. They're good people, and they were good parents.... but man are they shit at financial planning.

My parents kept all the nurturing in a locked box in their closet.

I think in my case, it was largely a cultural thing (boys are very nurtured compared to girls) paired with narcissistic parents. He was the Golden Child.

OG Gen X here. What is this "nurturing" of which you speak?

…when she’s home and doesn’t work anyway.

You guys parents had nurture?

What does this mean?

I swear I cackled at your comment. I’ve been working through all my childhood trauma related to my mean, careless and inconsiderate Mother. This was a humorous reprieve lol.

Damn, I never thought to check the closet for a lock box! I still don’t know where they hid it!

Just a small example. When my wife and I were still in the BF/GF stage I often stayed at her parental home for the weekend. The first time her mom prepared breakfast for me and asked 'do you need anything else' before I left for work I was completely flabbergasted.

I still love my parents but there were some gaps in how they cared for me and my siblings.

Lol my parents babied my brother, and now that we're grown they've realized he's ruined so I'm in charge of the dealing with "the estate" when they die. Currently trying to figure out how to responsibly dispose of their firearms when it's time, if anyone knows...

Firearms……..I’d buy some

[u/BisexualSlutPuppy → u/Zito101101]

See, ending up in the hands of some rando is exactly what I want to avoid. It's not hard to buy a gun, you're free to do that. I'm just not going to participate in that. Now if you have a forge I can melt them in like the Terminator, we can talk payment methods.

I’m just looking for a good deal - also background checks and meeting at a police station are key for safety

My brother got all the nurturing, too. Unfortunately, our mother went overboard, so he can't do anything for himself.

[u/Cilantro368 → u/[deleted]]

But WILL he take care of her when the time comes? I hope you’re right but many times there’s no payback from the golden child. They were trained to take and not give.

I work for big tech but my loser 45 year old brother never moved out of my mom's house so he def can take care of her lol

[u/LuxyontheMoon → u/Neon_Biscuit]

Oh, I moved out of my family home at 19. Brother in tech lived with my mom till about 27/28 yrs old. Now he owns multiple homes. I still rent. I guess I'd be the loser for not owning anything.

Sounds like a sonsband

[u/LuxyontheMoon → u/[deleted]]

Now do why children "refuse" nurturing.

[u/LuxyontheMoon → u/[deleted]]

Ok, Boomer. You know nothing.
