Episode 13 -Inheritance Olympics: Sibling Edition

Featuring feats of entitlement, vanishing assets, and emotional gymnastics.

In a heartwarming display of ‘keeping it in the family‘ (and by ‘it’ we mean land, property, and any remaining sanity), the estate has now been equitably divided as follows:

In a stunning display of generational entitlement, my brother – a man of modest talents but big farm energy – has successfully claimed not one, but two family farms. Apparently, one sprawling estate just didn’t quench the thirst.

Eyewitnesses report:

• A suspiciously fast-moving will.
• A lot of ‘Mom would’ve wanted this’.
• And zero shame.

When asked why one farm wasn’t sufficient, Brother dearest allegedly responded, ‘Well, I do like options’.

We now go live to the rest of the siblings, who received:

• A dusty toolbox
• Half a casserole dish
• And the eternal honor of being told “you’re just bitter”

• Brother #1: Two farms. Yes, two. Because apparently when it rains generational wealth, it pours straight into his pockets.
• Sister: The other land. Plus a charming house in the sun, for when she needs to recover from the emotional strain of benefiting from unfair distribution.
• Sister (me):
  • A roof over my head
  • 12 years of unpaid elder care
  • And the distinct honor of being gaslit into silence because ‘family comes first’.
• Other shafted sibling: Solidarity, confusion and a vague suggestion they should be ‘more grateful’.

Please note:

• Discussing any of this aloud is strictly forbidden.
• Any attempt to question the distribution will result in accusations of ‘bitterness’ and/or a sudden group text titled ‘Let’s just move on‘.
