Inheritance can certainly cause tension in a family.

In today’s story, one sibling is going to inherit the family home, and that’s not going over well with the author.

Let’s see how the story unfolds…

AITA for telling my mom to have my sister do it?

My mom has cancer.

My older sister Lynn has 3 kids never left home.

My mom called the rest of the the siblings saying she is changing the will because she is leaving the home and it’s contents to Lynn because Lynn does so much for her.

He and his brother aren’t as close to their mom as Lynn is.

My older brother and his family don’t do anything for mom because of Lynn and basically went no contact years ago.

I haven’t even met their youngest kids but I hope they are living their best life.

I’m single but have my own studio just trying to save up money, and splitting the home with me would have really helped.

But I have little contact with mom and sis because it was always something with them for Lynn or her kids.

I’m not the baby daddy of those kids and I told my sister that a few years ago.

His mom wants him to stay with her to help out.

My mom randomly calls and asks if I could come stay a week (that means I would have to take off work and my OT hours) to help her with a surgery she’s having.

Lynn can’t because she’s busy with the children and she could put a bed in the garage for me.

I told mom I doubt I could get the time off to do that in such a short amount of time.

Mom told me she already got the FMLA paperwork from the doctor so they have to give it off.

He told his mom to ask Lynn to help.

I asked mom about her will and the house.

She told me that’s because Lynn has helped her so much.

I told her, good Lynn can help you with this because I’m not.

My mom started crying that surgery will help her with her quality of life and I can pick some stuff out around the home to take back with me.

He had a different suggestion that his mom didn’t like.

I asked mom if I could pick out a bedroom to sleep in (there’s 4), and she said she can’t move Lynn and her kids around “it’s their home.”

At that I kind of flipped out on my mom and said tell Lynn to help you because I’m not taking off work.

My mom said she’s dying and just trying to make her life more comfortable with this surgery and I should do this for her.

I told her she should have treated us all with the same gloves she has treated Lynn with and that is her legacy.

I refuse to talk to my mom anymore about it.

Maybe he should talk to Lynn about moving in so he can help out.

Let’s see how Reddit responded to this story…

This reader is on his side.

Another reader thinks he should drop everything and help his mom.

This person thinks the mom made an obvious choice regarding the inheritance.

Another reader thinks Lynn and the mom created the problem.

The least the mom could do is find a place for him to sleep in the house while he’s there.

This whole situation is just sad.
