Tough Talk: October 21, 2024

Tough Talk,

One of my aunts was fairly wealthy, but growing up, she barely acknowledged me even though she always doted on my sisters, gave them presents and attended all those milestones and events.  She totally ignored me.  She just kicked the bucket and left my Mom money to distribute.  Mom generously gave me a portion, but has made it clear I can’t say anything negative about her.  I’m just telling the truth as I see it.  What should I do TT? (Turner, New Hampshire)

Turnski,

You should hit this head on and tell your Mom that her sister was a POS and you thought she was a stuck-up snot.  Then you turn your sights on Mom and tell her she’s being complete POSAH for attaching some stupid condition to the inheritance.   Chew her out good; she deserves it.  Who does she think she is?
