Talking about inheritance can stir up strong emotions and unreasonable expectations.

Would you be upset if one of your children or grandchildren asked you what they were going to get in your will? If the answer was “nothing,” would you be honest with them?

This man’s son-in-law asked him what his “step-grandson” would be getting in his will.

He answered honestly, and now everyone is upset.

AITAH for insulting my son in law after I told him that his son not going to get anything from me when I die?

I am 63M

My daughter has a stepson and my biological grandson.

I own a few ancestral homes and I gave one to my daughter, but the one I live in will be going to my bio grandson after I die and everything else I own.

That’s how it’s always been, and everyone knows this.

This man was asked by his son-in-law what his step-grandson would be getting.

My daughter was visiting the other night.

Randomly, my son-in-law brought up my will. He asked what his son will be getting.

I was taken aback and just laughed.

But then, I realized he was serious, so I told him he is getting nothing.

His son-in-law was upset.

He got annoyed.

He said if he treats my bio grandson like his own son, then why can’t I do the same for his son and let him inherit something, too?

I said it’s a sad day when a man is so greedy that he has to use a child to get something that’s not his.

Tension rose between him and his son-in-law.

Cue his puny puffed-up chest and his childish tantrum.

He’s lucky my back is out because I would have planted my foot where the sun don’t shine in his backyard!

Punk!

Now, his daughter is giving him the cold shoulder.

My daughter was dragging him out.

My wife thinks I should have left it at “nothing” to keep the peace.

My daughter hasn’t spoken to me since.

AITA?
