Tough Talk: October 9, 2024

Tough Talk,

My wife and I have two children.  Our son is successful with a great job, wife and kids.  We are very proud of him.  My daughter however went through a very bad phase and we spent a lot of money on her treatment.  She has turned it around, found a good husband and is pregnant with her second child.  We want to divide the will fifty-fifty, but my son says that he should get more as we spent so much on her care.  We think he has a point, but believe it is fairest to divide our estate equally.  What do you think TT? (Brandon, Michigan)

Brando,

Tell your son, you’ll do what you like and if he gets all boo-hoo-hooey about it, TS.  Who does he think he is telling you how to handle these issues while he’s back-stabbing his sister?  If he really were a decent person, he’d make sure his sister is taken care of.  Are you really proud of him?  He sounds like a total dingleberry to me.
