Interview With Author

ADVERTIsem*nT

The people mentioned in a will can tell you a lot about the relationship they had with the person who wrote it. They usually will leave money or property or any other valuables to those who they considered worth it, leaving the unworthy unmentioned.

But this grandma thought that she would still mention her estranged daughter in her will. Although it was not because she wanted to leave an inheritance for her; rather, she calculated that her daughter still owed her money.

Family found it funny how grandmother didn’t allow her daughter to get away with borrowing money and not returning it

In her will, the grandma left money for her all of her children and grandchildren except for one daughter who received only a message: “You still owe me 14 dollars”

Having started as a content creator that made articles for Bored Panda from scratch I climbed my way up to being and editor and then had team lead responsibilities added as well. So it was a pretty natural transition from writing articles and titles as well as preparing the visual part for the articles to making sure others are doing those same tasks as I did before well, answering their questions and guiding them when needed.

For those blaming Grandma for her three kids turning out to be addicts, you’re forgetting something really important. Those children had a father, who could’ve been the source of the DNA (nature) for their addictive personalities, and/or an abusive home life (nurture) that may have tipped the scales toward addiction as an escape. Remember, IP said Grandma was very hardworking, so Grandpa may have been a deadbeat drunk/addict, and she had to be the breadwinner. That also takes her out of the house for hours a day. Plus, her head for finances may have stemmed from watching every penny, to know if her husband was stealing from her. It’s possible that, by the time she took in her grandchildren, Grandpa had died, or she had kicked his a*s to the curb, so that generation didn’t have the same exposure to drugs/alcohol plus the kind of home life a deadbeat drunk/junkie would provide—-at least after they left their junkie parents. So quit blaming the hardworking mother and look toward the possibly deadbeat drunk/junkie father to lay the blame on.

It could also be as simple as them making the wrong friends and peer pressure overcame them. People are always quick to point fingers but never want to look in the mirror.

Believe it or not, this is actually an important lesson in wills. If you want to leave someone out of your will, DON'T just ignore them. Leave them something like a single penny, or other ridiculous thing. Because if someone is not in the will, they can actually argue in a court of law that it was an oversight, and be awarded an equal share of inheritence. By deliberately leaving something to the person, such as a penny, they have no legal argument to try and claim anything.

I think we are missing some key pieces to this family equation. I strongly doubt the mother was the 2-dimensional scumbag she seems to be portrayed to be. And I also doubt the grandma was simply a golden hearted hero. I suspect that the sentiments of the op are strongly influenced by the sentiments of the grandma. Grandma resents aunt J, and so does op. Idunno. It's all assumptive. Like I said, we don't have the whole story.

Agreed. To quote Queen Elizabeth, recollections may vary. It's also possible that grandma was different as a mother vs a grandmother. My father had a problem with alcohol and mentally tuned out all the time. My step sister's kid never knew him as an alcoholic. He was very loving and attentive to her as she grew up. Needless to say, she thinks I didn't know him and I think the same of her. Both views are valid.
