[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1323728, member: 9096"] This is the ONE thing I like about being an only child.. I think there'd have been a lot of positives for me having siblings, but stories like yours are quite common. An older friend of mine (Neal) had a stroke in Feb and another last week, he had spent a month in hospital, and there were non-family members already laying claims on things he has... He's got lots of cool stuff, and he's really generous (don't every say "That's cool" or he'll just give it to you) and it makes me feel guilty of accepting something... He's got 2 kids, a druggie younger son and a daughter who seems to have her stuff together, but wants nothing to do with the 'home place'. Thankfully the mutual friend of ours who has taken it upon himself to keep order in the place is pretty vocal, and puts people in their place if they step out of line. So Neal has lots of stuff I wouldn't mind having, but I'm not going to lift a finger to get anything unless it's explicitly given to me.. Just not worth the bad blood in a small town, though I know a little more about a lot of people here. I don't envy you at all Kathie... but you have the right attitude about it. [/QUOTE]
