Property and financial situations often bring out the worst of family in-fighting.
There is jealousy on one side, and a whole load of sentimentality on the other.
Take this story, for example. A house that has always been in the family is going up for sale.
Who should own it?
And, even more importantly, who should live there in the meantime?
Read on to find out how the situation unfolded.
AITA for not “saving” the house so my brother can buy it?
I am 25 years old.
My mum, Grandma and Great-Grandpa all live on the same property.
Mum and Grandma share a house, while my Great-Grandpa had his own next door.
He sadly passed about two years ago, and the house went to my Grandma.
Even before my Great-Grandpa passed, we talked that I would one day buy the house and half the property off my grandma.
We initially expected that would be when I was around 30, but you can’t really predict the death of a loved one that precisely.
I had recently moved to a different city to be with my boyfriend, but he also agreed that we would move back once we are ready to settle down.
Let’s see how the drama really began.
While my Grandma was grieving and contemplating if she wanted to sell, my Mum suggested that my little brother “Luke” (19) and his girlfriend “Emma” (20) move in temporarily, so they can have some privacy.
