no car related content, but in case you were wondering.

Brother doesn’t hate me as much (i get the impression he’s more mad at me in solidarity with his wife), sister in law hates me more than I thought (she did not come to Christmas morning and refuses to even look at me and my wife).

Kinja'd!!!

Daughter is coming out of surgery right now and it seems to have gone well, now for the recovery... (picture of pre surgery) 

I’m on my 3rd straight day of 5 or less hours of sleep

it finally snowed again.

Maybe I missed it, but have these people said why they hate you or are they just assholes?

The long story short is that they were pressuring my mom to sell them her house at 40 cents on the dollar so they could afford it and me and my other brother spoke up and she went from being uncomfortable with it to saying no.

its our fault obviously.

according them them its because “jealousy and greed reared their ugly heads”

but it was really because we helped my mom see that selling our childhood house to the at a 60% discount wasn’t sitting right with the family.

Jealousy and greed? Sounds like they were trying to rip off your mom for a lot of money. That's pretty cold.

so a couple of brats who thought they were entitled to your mom’s house for peanuts just because of who they are.

Are they Boomers? I have relatives like them too. e.g. a couple of my aunts on one side used to act like because my uncle was pretty well off, he should basically pay for everything and not expect anything borrowed from him to be paid back.

there’s a large chunk of my extended family I no longer see and I don’t feel poorer for it.

well, think about the typical Craigslist loony buyer, who thinks you’ll sell him something for $1500 when you’re asking $4000 because he has “cash in hand.”

now imagine it’s your son or nephew who thinks he’s entitled to such a deal because he’s your son (or nephew.)

I think these are probably people who have grown up being used to getting whatever it is they wanted just because they want it.

I hope you’re doing well. Glad to hear your girl did well. She looks brave as hell; good for her. I went back and saw some other posts, and I hope this coming year brings to good news on som e of those fronts. I’ve been dealing with the idea that our family, while related, might not always be the best people. They can be selfish, or mean, or do dumb things for no discernible reason, and not be adult enough to stop and self r-r eflect and realize they're the problem. Im lucky my wife has helped make me who I am over the last 18 years together, but sucks that it makes me realize where I came from wasn't always the best. It's tough, and I wish you good luck!

I am happy to hear that your daughter’s surgery went well. Have you shared the nature of the surgery?

Integrity: you haz it.

sister in law hates me more than I thought

Was 40% her idea?

People gotta decide what they want in their lives.

I would characterize them as people who feel life has natural progressions to it regardless of being earned.

i.e. I’ve lived in a house for 5 years, its time for a bigger one. No it doesn’t matter you can’t afford it, its that time in your life to have more.

I should also point out they weren’t asking for 60% off, per-se, because they were asking for their inheritance in advance to cover the difference. But as we all know - affording the payments and affording the thing are 2 very different things...and they couldn’t even afford more than 40% of the payments.

Maybe I should have let it go but the truth is my mom wasn’t really happy about it either, she just wanted to sell the house to someone in the family so she didn’t have to say goodbye to it when her and her new husband moved into a new place together. I think she’s realized what a mistake it was to pursue that end.

Sounds like jealousy and greed did rear their ugly heads but they’re projecting hard.

Glad the surgery went well!!!
