We have a senile, diabetic, half-blind, 16 year old cat who pisses and shits wherever he pleases, and as much as that little flea bag needs to die, I'm not stupid enough to put him down behind my wife's back.

Dr. S.O. Feelgood posted:Mom/Dad is real mad they're not going to be able to steal their daughter's money. OP already said they were also getting an inheritance. If I had a daughter whom I wanted to grow up to be a caring, responsible adult, the last thing I'd want was 6-7 figures of no-strings money being dropped in her 18-year-old lap. If OP's parents are that loaded, then OP probably grew up seeing unchecked access to serious money turn some of their friends and acquaintances into shitheads. Good on them for not wanting to hand their teenager a financial loaded gun.

QuarkJets posted:I can understand that reasoning, but at the same time the parent seems to be taking issue with their kid inheriting any of that money at all. That's weird. Surely the trust could be structured in a way that doesn't just dump millions of dollars on a teenager The OP states concerns of A: Not being a trustee. Being a trustee doesn't mean the parent can decide the kid needs a boat and a new house for her parents. A trustee has a responsibility that is subject to a lot of legal scrutiny, should it be called into question, just like an estate executor can't ignore the deceased's will. They have to act in the beneficiary's best interest. B: The daughter being told of her inheritance before she's of age. Why should she do what her parents tell her when she gets grandma and grandpa's money when she reaches 18? What is a good age to tell an idiot teenager that no matter how they behave toward their parents, they're guaranteed a pile of money? It's a classic narcissist move on the grandparents' part to undermine the parent and ingratiate themselves with the granddaughter. Even if it all goes up her nose or in her veins, she's just the product of bad parents, and they tried their best as loving grandparents to give her a secure future. Barudak posted:You can set up a trust such that the amount in the trust cant be touched, only the interest, with some outside extenuating circumstances you define, and typically cant be collected against for any debts the child racks up. If you are concerned an 18 year old will blow through several million when they turn 18 (which they will) you set up the trust this way so instead of unfettered money the kid starts getting paychecks for a several thousand dollars a month which is enough to be comfortable for life but not enough to live large and blow through it. The people ive met on these schemes have either gone on to be teachers/artists/care worker since the low salary doesnt stop them from living their passion or as a subsidy income at the start of their careers as soul shattering business types. You can do all of those sensible things, but that being the case is entirely your speculation just like the parent being a financial failure. Biplane posted:If someone wants to give your child millions of dollars, and you decline for whatever reason, that is tantamount to child abuse in this capitalist hellscape we live in Why not a million ice cream bars? gently caress you for wanting to meter your child's access to them for the sake of their health and dietary habits into adulthood. That's a lot of life-sustaining calories you're denying that kid. empty sea posted:You bet your rear end I would've sued the poo poo out of my parents for depriving me of millions of dollars I could blow on the dumbest poo poo when I was 18. Also would've been pissed as gently caress they let me blow through millions as a dumb-rear end teenager. Those are some reasonable applications for a good lump of wealth. Almost like you're not a dumb 18-year old. QuarkJets posted:Yeah that's my thought as well. Screaming I DO NOT CONSENT TO MY CHILD INHERITING MY PARENTS' VAST WEALTH VIA A TRUST really means that they expected to inherit that money Again, the post doesn't object to the kid getting an inheritance, just knowing they're getting unfettered access to that inheritance as a naive teenager. The OP says they get their own inheritance. I don't know where you people get this idea that they're getting stiffed while the kid's getting a sensibly supervised income from the grandparents while the original post is reasonably stating the exact opposite. A parent wants to be able to raise a decent person without them saying, "gently caress you. I'll just wait out your bullshit until I get them grandma ducats.", and they're the brainless, money-grubbing rear end in a top hat?

A Wizard of Goatse posted:nobody cares about the fate of the fuckin burrito they hate him because like half a food service worker's life is dealing with dipshits trying to scam free food out of them with some idiotic technicality, and if the manager notices he's likely to take the loss out of their paycheck. If it's the wrong order but it's still clearly edible and tasty to you, just loving eat it. Oh shut up. It's the wrong burrito. It's the house's mistake. I side-eye you for eating most of it before bringing it up, but whatever, here's the burrito you ordered, Piggy. Docking someone for a returned food item is just not legal in most states. I work in the service industry in Texas, where I can be legally fired for telling my boss I think his tax dollars should be used to feed starving children, and I've never seen a service worker take a pay hit for incidentals like that. Courageously defending the company's bottom line from vicious, burrito-chiseling outlaws is a waste of time and energy. If you feel any moral outrage against the dude, you are naive as gently caress. Yeah, it's not exactly in line with the social contract, but nobody should ever care that damned much. *I spit in the window girl's face, demand a free Frosty, and get one, because the food-service industry is a soul-crushing Hell. **I wouldn't do a Wendy's worker like that. I work for a living too.

HOT BREAD! posted:wife [28/F] went from outgoing social butterfly to canning fruits in the basement and avoiding her friends. Only change was she married me [27/M]. Her culture? Depression? There's definitely some being ashamed of where she's from going on. She's married to an American now, so gently caress poor backward Russia. Honestly, if she wants to forget all of that, and be a new person, I don't see a problem, as long as they're both happy. I also don't see a problem with someone being all about their homeland, wanting to teach their kids the language and culture, and all that good stuff. I think either one is a valid choice.

Boomers: The New Batch decide they're going to charge their own child open market rent for their inherited asset, because they have no concept of the economic realities facing said child. Not even suggesting they pay toward owning the house in which they served as live-in caretaker for their dying grandmother. Just straight up, 'We've been looking around on Zillow and we think this is fair.' 2 to 1 that "A good chance to teach you some responsibility." came up in the conversation.

Better put out the valuable, easily stashed in a bag or jacket, art pieces." literally the first Google result for "open house tips" posted:Remove items that can be pocketed easily — jewelry, prescription medications, cellphones, tablets, figurines, memorabilia and treasured knickknacks. Thieves like to target open houses and estate sales. If the lady's realtor can make an EEG twitch, she would have warned her against having valuables out for the grabbing. OP should ask to see a bill of sale or appraisal before she thinks of handing over money.

Matching the bridal party is like Expectation 1 in being in said bridal party. You are not the focus of the proceedings. Nobody's there to give a poo poo about your expensive red sneakers. Stand still, be quiet, and hand over the ring, rear end in a top hat. If he's such a preening asswipe that he thinks he's entitled to upstage his brother's bride at the altar, then gently caress him.
