It’s nice to offer to help with maintenance on a family member’s house, but sometimes the family members take it for granted.

This man stopped repairing damages, doing electrical work, and gardening in his mom’s house because of her extended family’s attitude.

Check out the story below for all the details.

AITA for refusing to do pay maintenance work on a home my extended family took over?

It’s a big lot in the village.

My mom and her sisters and some cousins grew up there.

Grandma left the house to my mom so she can take over and maintain.

This man was disappointed that extended family members started taking over the house.

She asked that I get it afterwards when her daughter passes away.

But, suddenly, extended family members act like they own the place.

So he stopped doing maintenance services to it.

They called me, upset, because I stopped doing gardening services, electricity, and other services for the house.

I told them I was doing it because I want everyone to be happy there.

It seems that, somehow, got misconstrued into me giving the house away.

This sounds like miscommunication and a lot of family drama.
